SLASH will be presented with the Paul
Rothchild Award at the LA Music Awards this evening. This award is given
to the LA musician who contributes to the growth of the music scene in the
LA area and in recognition of their professional ability. Paul Rothchild
was very active in the LA music scene till the time of his death a few years
ago. He is probably best remembered as the Doors' producer. SLASH was cited
for his extensive club playing in the early GNR years, his profesional
ability in branching out and playing with a variety of musicians (Lenny
Kravitz, Michael Monroe, etc.), his Blues Ball and two Snakepit bands that
heavily played the area, and SLASH's habit of dropping in any LA club
anytime and jamming with the band. Congratulations, SLASH!
