The lead guitarist for guns n' roses from 1986 to 1996. He was the only British member of the main lineup, from the town of Stockton-on-Trent. He is one of, if not THE, greatest guitarists of all time. His riffs blend blues and metal very well, and he has a great stage presence, though Axl Rose often overshadowed it. Since leaving gnr, his bands have been Snakepit and Velvet Revolver, which also features gnr bassist Duff McKagan and gnr replacement drummer Matt Sorum. His likes are top hats, his afro, jack daniels, and cigarettes. He is a really cool guy, and is one of the few members of gnr to have a relatively minor criminal record. His only bad moment was his AMA award acceptance speach, for which he strolled on stage holding a bottle of jack. In his words: "I'd like to thank our fucking manager for fucking getting us here..."
Slash don't need no example.

Half-man, half-beast with long curly black hair hiding most of his face. He usually wears a top hat, maybe to honor some foreign tribal cult. That strange creature played guitar for the human zoo Guns N' Roses, as well as Slash's Snakepit (of which the name transcribes well the zoo side of the band), and is now a part of Velvet Revolver. He used to inject some (commonly-)brown thing (called heroin) into his veins, using it as the door for another world - unfortunately no one can stay forever in that parallel world. He sometimes "accidentally" mixed the brown thing with other things (like cocaine), provoking the bloodthirsty attacks of small monsters.
"And last, but definitely not least. In a world that he did not create, but he'd go through it as if it was his own makin'. Half-man, half-beast, I'm not sure what it is, but whatever it is, it's weird and it's pissed-off, and it calls himself Slash." - Axl Rose to introduce Slash (1988).

Usually in fanfiction, a pairing that is homosexual, although slash is rarely applied to yuri/lesbian pairings.
The word 'slash' comes from Star Trek fandom. The original slash pairing was Kirk/Spock, which was abbreviated K/S, and then ended up just being called 'slash' after its punctuation mark. After that, other male/male pairings (in Trek, and in other fandoms soon after) also became known as slash.

In fan communities, the pairing of two male characters as sexual partners (feminine equivalent: femmeslash). The term does not refer to male characters who are homosexual and involved with another male character in canon.
Slash refers to any non-canon male/male pairing. Its most popular subgroup, yaoi, refers specifically to such pairings in anime and manga fandom.
Inexplicably popular, especially on the Internet, especially among teenage girls.
