Slash costume

Slash, aka Saul Hudson was born July 23, 1965 in West Hampstead, London.  He was formally the lead guitarist for Guns N Roses, and now is the lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver.  Saul Hudson got the nickname Slash from a family friend because, "he was always in a hurry, zipping from one thing to another".  He played in a band called Black sheep and opened for Stryper.  After a show a mutual friend introduced him to the lead singer of another bank Axl Rose.  After becoming friends him and another band mate, Steven Adler were invited to join Axl and some of his band mates to a group called Guns N Roses.

They became a hit in the United States and all over the world, in 1985 and 1986 they came out with some of their most popular songs, "Welcome To The Jungle", and "Sweet Child O' Mine".  Sweet Child O Mine became their first #1 song in the country.  In 1988 they put out their first CD called Appetite for Destruction, and sold over 28 million copies.  In 1996 he left Guns N Roses and did some side work with a band that he had created called Slash's Snakepit.  It didn't last long and in 1998 it disbanded, after that he became a popular session artist, he was pursued by people like Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar, ICP, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and many others to record with them playing the guitar. 

In 2002 he started another band called Velvet Revolver, he is still with the band and it's doing really well.  Here are some popular Slash costumes for halloween, hopefully give you a good idea on what to be.
