I'm going to assume "too big; didn't look at".

From Steven Adler's Wiki page, first two entries referring to the band Adler's Appetite...
In September 2003, Adler's Appetite performed a show at the Key Club in Hollywood, where they were joined on stage by Adler's former Guns N' Roses band mates Slash and Izzy Stradlin, for renditions of "Mr. Brownstone", "Paradise City", and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". In July 2007, the group played another show at the Key Club, as part of their tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction, during which they were joined on stage by former Guns N' Roses members Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan. Although Slash was also in attendance, he did not join the band on stage, stating that he did not want to encourage the notion of a Guns N' Roses reunion. In 2010, Adler collaborated with his former Guns N' Roses band mate Slash on the latter's self-titled debut solo album, which was released in April. And of course... On April 14, 2012, Adler was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the classic lineup of Guns N' Roses. He headlined the induction ceremony with fellow inductees Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum, as well as former member Gilby Clarke and Slash's collaborator Myles Kennedy. Adler stated that being inducted was "an honor and a dream come true." Last edited by joenorwood77; 04-16-2015 at 10:54 PM. |

I am not here to convert people to become fans of GNR or any other band, really. I was just glad to see the post I am quoting. |

The only good things GnR ever had were attitude and energy, and that ran out sometime in 1989.
Saw them in 92 or 93 with the original line up minus the drummer and they were awful. I doubt they'd be worth seeing again almost 25 years later when they're basically a bunch of old men.

I feel like Slash has cast some kind of illusion over the public and tricked them into believing that he's an exceptional guitar player.

I honestly think it's the hat. Aside from the riff to "Sweet Child of Mine", I really can't think of anything he's done that's more memorable than god knows how many other guitarists. But he does have a big hat and fuzzy hair to make people remember him.

What really did it for Slash was that he came along with a Les Paul plugged straight into a raging Marshall playing good ole classic 70s rock riffs at a time when just about everyone else was using pointy guitars with Floyd Roses plugged into a ton of processing and playing weedly deedly stuff.
He was a major breath of fresh air when Appetite broke big and he's made the most of it ever since. While he may not be the most technical guy he plays with a swagger and attitude that perfectly fits his style. My hands down fave G&R song.

Slash was a breath of fresh air that smelled like cigarettes and whiskey.
