Slash has just revealed how he was inspired to try his hand at country music thanks to some experiences in Nashville.
Despite being a long-time fan of outlaw country music, Sweet Child of Mine The guitarist said PEOPLE Magazine in which he states that he came to Music City “to record the Conspirators' fourth album” and was instantly drawn to the story of the composition of that milestone.
“We got an Airbnb here, it was during the Covid pandemic, so we were here for a couple of weeks and recorded at the RCA studio, Studio A,” Slash recalled, adding, “which is a very historic and famous recording studio here in Nashville.”
Praising the venue, the Guns N' Roses rocker said: “Being in that building was a special atmosphere, and there were all these great country artists all over the walls, but really iconic country people.”
Slash recalled that during his visit he came across a book that had “all the stories about all these different guys, from Willie Nelson to Kris Kristofferson to Dolly Parton and Dolly Parton's mentor,” however, the artist that stood out to him and served as inspiration was “Lloyd Green, a pedal steel guy.”
