Get the Depends mug.Saul Hudson aka Slash is best known for being the former lead guitar player in guns 'n roses. Later after leaving Guns' he played in "Slash' snakepit", which produced a rather uninteresting album. He now plays in Velvet Revolver, who have also yet to release something interesting. Besides these bands, he played many sessions for other bands and people. He's written some of the most successful riffs and memorable solos in rock history during the Guns 'n Roses days.
Slash relies on the Pentatonic scales for many of his solos. As such, it would be very easy to write him off as a one trick pony, but that's not the whole story. Along with the pentatonic minor in blues box positions, he also sometimes uses the Aeolian and Dorian modes, the Mixolydian scale and pentatonic major scale. Slash often plays pedal-steel bends and uses the pentatonic major scale to create leads that have a country sound. You can hear this in Paradise City and Coma. Look no further than Sweet Child Of Mine to hear Slash's use of the Harmonic Minor scale. Slash is a great playing great melodies over a song's chord changes, especially during ballads. If you think about it, a good portion of Guns N' Roses' most successful tunes were ballads and Slash's playing was a huge part of their success (dinosaurrockguitar).
Also, he's the last true "guitar god" that will influence entire generations of players who care about lead playing. The badass "i don't give a fuck" attitude along with the swagger and heavy, ballsy blues-rock playing is an important part of his image. Infamous for loads of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. He took that from the 70's from guys like Jimmy Page and brought it to the spandex-filled, pretty-boy shredder era.
Made the Les Paul famous again in an era of super Strats and Floyd-Roses. Has a very reconizable sound. Nasty, buzzy and mean. He uses Marshall Slash Signature Model half-stacks exclusively. These amps are based on the Marshall Jubilee Anniversary series, a high gain Marshall that most tone freaks despise.
Slash' technique was already far surpassed in the glory days of GnR. But he wasn't about technique, it was all balls. In the end, that's been proven to be far more important then being able of putting out 64 notes in one second. Name one technique-driven shredder who made more interesting stuff then Slash did.

Get the Slash mug.A loser who doesn't have any friends, so becomes a gothic so he/she suddenly is part of a group.
They dress all black, wear black makeup and black nails. Sometimes they even pretend to be vampires by putting fangs in their mouth.
Usually these are just teens who just hit puberty and do strange shit just to get attention. (see attention whore). When people who are older than lets say 18 are still gothic, then they are probably also Che Guevara worshippers without a real future.
Really, these people are useless. They should all get shot so they have a real reason to be depressed about. No one thinks your morbid, interesting, a vampire or scary. No one cares at all about your bullshit. Please die.

Get the Gothic mug.To slap your penis into someones face or somewhere else. Usually happens when everyone is drunk or stoned and someone passes out or falls asleep. When he/she gets zwaffle'd, everyone laughs their ass off.
Guy 1: Look, he passed out hahahha.
Guy 2: Well go ahead, give him a zwaffle
Guy 1 *slap*
Guy 3: w..w w-What the fuck man?
Everyone: AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH!!!!

Get the zwaffle mug.Great fucking video about fights in the ghetto's of America. There are two parts now, and they both rule. It's so fun watching these idiots in pants 10x too large beat eachother up.

Get the Ghetto Fights mug.One of the most overrated bands in history. They got popular because they pushed left winged propaganda as shallow as the water in my toilet. Same as the Sex Pistols. That band 100% fucking sucked ass. They just got popular because they where so rebellious, something kids in their teenage years seem to love.
They also introduced the Che Guevara image to the kiddies. So we should thank them for the fact that people wear this cold-blooded murderer piece of shit that luckily got executed on their shirts these days.
Tom Morello was their lead guitar player, also way overrated. I hear that people call him the 'best guitar player ever'. Again, total bullshit. Hendrix, Van Halen, Gilmore and Jimmy Page's shoes have more talent then this guy. If you played the guitar yourself, you'd understand. All his neat solo's sound cool because they come out of stomp boxes you can buy in every music store. Really. This guy has the biggest effects chain i've ever seen.
This band proved that you don't need talent to become famous. If you make music that takes a piss on the govnerment and is left winged in general, there is a way bigger chance of success than if you acually have talent, but don't write songs about politics.
"greatest band ever?". Yea right. Led Zeppelin, RHCP, The Beatles, The Stones, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, The Who, Tony Joe White, The Zombies, Tom Petty....(i could continue forever) Happen to forget about those?

Shit kid with Che Guevara t-shirt: Rage Against The Machine is the best band ever
Me: No, they weren't. If you think that, you deserve to get hit by a freight train.

Get the Rage Against The Machine mug.One of the most overrated bands in history.
The band was extremely shitty. But they had a great producer so they sounded good on their album. They sucked extremely hard live though. Funny how a great producer can make a shitty band sound good.
Wrote offensive lyrics about pretty much anything. They got popular because of that. They also put the "anarchy" lable on punk music. You know, that sign Avril Lavigne uses too all the time, hahaha.
All in all, a band that got famous because they pretty much hated everything and everyone. Their bass player sliced up his girlfriend and commited suicide after that. Or did he die from an heroin OD? Either way it wasn't pretty.
