Slash's Real Name: From Saul Hudson To Rock Legend [Facts!]
Ever wondered if the name plastered on the album covers and screamed by adoring fans is the one and only truth? Prepare to have your rock 'n' roll world tilted on its axis because the guitar god known as Slash harbors a secret identity.
For decades, hes been simply Slash: the top-hatted, guitar-slinging icon who defined the sound of Guns N' Roses and carved his name into the Mount Rushmore of rock legends. But beneath the signature look and the blistering riffs lies a name that might surprise even the most die-hard fans: Saul Hudson. Yes, the man who brought us "Sweet Child o' Mine" and enough guitar solos to melt faces was christened with a moniker far removed from the edgy persona he embodies on stage.
