Use Your Illusion years, top hat still on
In 1992, Slash sits for press while Guns N’ Roses ride the twin Use Your Illusion albums across arenas. Top hat on, Les Paul in reach, he talks leads, the circus around Axl, and a band that has already turned hard rock excess into a touring machine.
The interview is pure Illusion-era Slash: laconic, half-hidden behind curls and shades, still treating the guitar as the only reliable answer in the room.
