It’s debatable whether Slash should be considered a metal guitarist, but a new 8ft sculpture of the Guns N’ Roses man definitely is.
Made entirely from scrapped car and bike metal - along with a few discarded instrument parts - the sculpture took around 12 days to create and bears Slash’s signature. It even features one of his signature Gibson guitars.
It’s the creation of Simon Weitzman and Darren Kenny, founders of Heavy Metal Sculptures, and is set to go on display at the British Music Experience in Liverpool from 21 October.
“There is a line there that you cross where you are just spending money for the sake of the name or the label”: Slash says you don’t need to spend “an arm and a leg” to get a guitar that’s as good as you’ll ever need
“We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energised new music we’ve made together”: Linkin Park reunite, livestream a show, announce live arena dates and a comeback album, and share the video for its first single
