Interview Q&A with Slash by Carina Lawrence / Dark Art Conspiracy
Legendary Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has kept busy with his solo group.

The new album ‘4’ will be the first-ever album released on the new Gibson Records label, headquartered in the iconic American instrument brand Gibson’s hometown of Music City, Nashville.
