Musical artists reach out to fans internationally
using the internet. They have interviews, do chats, post messages on
bulletin boards, write email, and make special appearances. SLASH is
using the power of the internet to entertain and touch his fans. He's
done a couple of chats, been on live performance shows, and made special
appearances. Through the SLASH Official Fan Site, SLASH communicates
with fans about his schedule, his opinions and just about anything. SLASH
says he is a "dinosaur" about the internet, but we think he must be a
T-Rex!
Neil Zlozower, rock photographer and "new-found internet junkie", invited
Slash to come down for an online chat session via Netscape. Similar to
IRC, the chat line got overloaded at one point, and mayhem broke loose.
The "moderated" channel crashed, so we moved over to the unmoderated one...

SLASH was asked many questions about the Snakepit 95 tour as well as
about GNR plans. He responded to guitar and music questions, too.
It was a very intense chat. If you'd like to read the chat transcript,

NetAid is an internet-based organization
designed to achieve many world wide goals through donations of
money and time. A NetAid concert was held in the UK, Belgium and
the US with many musical artists taking part. SLASH was invited
to play with Puff Daddy on one of his songs, and it was a great
performance.
SLASH took Puff Daddy's song
"It's All About The Benjamins" and made it
rock! While sound was a problem throughout
the show, guess what? You could sure hear
SLASH! Absolutely stunning! Puffy gave SLASH
a wonderful introduction. Then the Human Riff
from LA came out and showed New York how it's done! Those of us
watching at home were excited to see signs for SLASH in the audience and
to hear all that applause at the end. Great to see SLASH up there where the
whole world was watching! The concert was simulcast on television as
well as the net.
SLASH was presented with
the Paul Rothchild Award at
the LA Music Awards. 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! The awards were web broadcast.
The complete show was not broadcast, so those watching on the internet
did not see SLASH get his award.
SLASH jammed with Paul Rodgers, and this performance was broadcast
over the internet.
SLASH was a guest DJ on VH1's internet-only
radio show, atWork. He selected all the music for the program and
gave an intro to each song. We couldn't bring you the entire show
here (check www.vh1.com to see if the complete show is in the
archives) due to size limitations, but we have brought the SLASH
introductions and maybe a few notes of the song. The audio here is
in mp3 format (mplayer is a good choice for software, available free
on www.microsoft.com).
