Here’s a great ‘what if’ question – what if instead of forming Guns N’ Roses, Slash had been the guitarist for Poison?
It could have happened – Bret Michaels recently opened up about the time Slash auditioned for the band.
“He had the same look back then, he was very cool. He had that kind of Rolling Stones-type cool that he still has. He came into our rehearsal room and he played every song we had, note perfect. He was very rock’n’roll.”
So why didn’t he join? Michaels said Slash wanted two guitar players in the band and “we were not looking for that.” They ended up hiring CC Deville and the rest is history.
Michaels still believes it was “the right decision for us and Slash”.
