I like how Slash claims he was the "only one" of his generation to play a LP.

Kids, don't do drugs.

And to be technical the Derrig he played was a LP copy.

Well I'm sure he wasn't being literal but in the 80s you weren't seeing too many les Paul's in glam rock.

Next thing you'll tell me people played pointy headstocks ....

Yeah, I was just telling a friend at work about that the other day. I started playing in 1985 and you couldn't give a Les Paul away during that time. My friends and I used to sit around drooling over the Charvels, Kramers, and Fender Strats. I always remember Jeff Watson from Night Ranger playing a Les Paul and Tom Keifer from Cinderella. Other than that, not very common.

Fast forward to the video from "Welcome to the Jungle" coming on. Prices shot thru the roof and all of us started ditching our pink guitars.

I still say that both are good though. I love a Charvel and a Gibson Les Paul.

I knew about Les Pauls 2 decades before i ever heard of Saul & Guns.

In 1968 if you were to tell me i could have a new Les paul burst if a cut off my right arm, today you'd be looking at a one arm man.

FWIW i didn't even listen to GnR in da 80's and neither did my friends.

2 decades before him wasn't HIS generation that's why he said he was OLD SCHOOL

Slash started on BC Rich Mockingbirds & Strats.

He didnt get the Pauls until he got coin from Record Labels.


Im glad he likes Les Pauls but to say he' "old Skool" and was the only one of his peers playing LP's i have a problem with.

He is also on record saying he doesn't remember the 80's.

His Marshall AFD is nothing like the amp he recorded "AFD" on and his AFD LP is a Gibson copy of a Gibson copy so there ya go.

Who cares really .....

Got damnit, just STFU already.

So true. I started playing in the early 80s too and guys weres trading in their old strats and pauls for the Jacksons, Kramers, Charvel, pointy headstock axes of teh week. If I only had a crystal ball back then dammit
