When Guns N’ Roses get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on
April 14th, nobody knows exactly what else will happen – including
Slash. “This is a subject I’m dead sick of talking about,” the guitarist
says. “Everyone has been asking me what’s going to happen, and they
know as much as I do. I feel you’re totally obligated to be present and I
would love to fucking play, but it’s just something that’s not gonna
happen for whatever reason.”
Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler are all
committed to going to the Cleveland ceremony, but it’s unclear whether
guitarist Izzy Stradlin or Axl Rose will be present. One sticking point
for Axl may be the presence of Slash, whom he called a “cancer” in 2009.
“He hates my guts,” says Slash. “It’s over a lot of different stuff; I
don’t even know. There’s just no communication between us. I talk to
Duff and Steven, but when it comes to old Guns N’ Roses, there really
isn’t anybody that makes decisions.”
