Slash could easily have mainstream success for the next twenty years without GNR even entering his mind.
Hmmm
...he's hardly changed the world since GNR...
..and frankly the quality of his work post GNR has not been great - VR wasnt a stunning guitar album ruined by a lousy singer, it was fairly poor from all involved
Slash could be a success - but his heart clearly isnt in it, one serious band and album since 1994?
