In 2011 he wrote and featured on kick it Up a Notch, the end credit song for The Disney Channel Original Movie Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension. (Kick It Up a Notch Songfacts). He has written a self titled autobiography which was put to print in 2007.
Slash joined his first band, Tidus Sloan, in 1981. In 1983, he formed the band Road Crew—named for the Motörhead song "(We Are) The Road Crew"—with his childhood friend Steven Adler, who by then had learned to play drums. He placed an advertisement in a newspaper looking for a bassist, and received a response from Duff McKagan. They auditioned a number of singers, including one-time Black Flag vocalist Ron Reyes, and worked on material that included the main riff of what would become the Guns N' Roses song "Rocket Queen." Slash disbanded the group the following year due to them not being able to find a singer, as well as Adler's lack of work ethic compared to himself and McKagan. He, along with Adler, then joined a local band known as Hollywood Rose, which featured singer Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Following his time with Hollywood Rose, Slash played in a band called Black Sheep and unsuccessfully auditioned for Poison, a glam metal band that he would later openly deride.
In June 1985, Slash was asked by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin to join the newly founded Guns "N' Roses. Duff McKagan and Steven Adler completed the line-up. They played nightclubs—such as the Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, and The Troubadour—and opened for larger acts throughout 1985 and 1986. It was during this period that the band wrote most of its classic material, including "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child o' Mine," and "Paradise City," As a result of their rowdy and rebellious behavior, Guns N' Roses quickly received the moniker "Most Dangerous Band in the World," causing Slash to remark, "For some strange reason, Guns N' Roses is like the catalyst for controversy, even before we had any kind of record deal."
Slash has received critical recognition as a guitarist. In August 2009, Time Magazine ranked him #2 on its list of the "10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time". He was also ranked #21 on Gigwise's list of the "50 Greatest Guitarists Ever".
Slash was the first musician to own a signature amplifier created by Marshall for him. In 1996 the Marshall Slash JCM 2555SL was launched, it was built with the specs of Slash's own original 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 amplifier. A total of 3000 of these amplifiers were made before it was discontinued.
On his self titled album, "Slash" he has worked with many artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie (Black Eyed Peas), Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), Kid Rock and Ian Astbury (The Cult). The singles released from the album are "Sahara","Back From Cali","By the Sword" and "Beautiful Dangerous".
Slash also colla borated with Myles Kennedy as Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators and released a few albums from 2012 onwards with 4 being released in 2022.

Slash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot escape
My fate I know will come in time
With my back to the wind
I cheated again with a smile
Forging love, billowing up
The truth I cannot speak
Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone
Tales untold
Never to know
Unspeakable until the end
All these mysteries
I'll never speak of again
That my love
I hope you believe
Now I'm gonna give you every part of me
I am home
Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone
But please keep holding on
Stay tonight
I need your love
And don't say goodbye
My sweet Avalon
Oh Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone
My sweet Avalon
It's been way too long
Avalon it's been way too long
Avalon
The lyrics of Slash's song "Avalon" tell the story of someone who has been away from their loved one for a long time, unable to escape the feeling that their fate will eventually catch up to them. The singer has cheated, but despite their guilt, they have made it back to their beloved one last time. The chorus of the song repeats the words "Avalon, it's been way too long," as if the singer is reminding themselves of what they have been missing and how much they want to be reunited with their love. The fire between them may be all but gone, but the singer begs their love to stay and not say goodbye.
Throughout the song, there are hints of unspeakable mysteries and tales untold, which the singer promises to never speak of again. It's possible that the singer's guilt may be linked to this tantalizing mystery, but regardless, they are offering themselves up to their love as a way of making amends. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been long searching for a place to call home, and in their lover's arms and in the embrace of the Avalon they long for, they finally find it.

Through the miles
Despite being apart for a long time
I cannot escape
I cannot avoid my destiny
My fate I know will come in time
I'm aware that my future will arrive
With my back to the wind
Despite the obstacles I face
I cheated again with a smile
I deceived someone pleasantly
Forging love, billowing up
Creating the illusion of love
The truth I cannot speak
I can't say what I genuinely feel
But I made it back one last time
I came back for one final chance
Avalon
The name of a place or person significant to the singer
