Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash said that drugs did not help him write music in a new Belfast Live interview.

“I have definitely been fortunate. I knew a lot of musicians growing up and pretty much all through my career.

“But especially when I was growing up and being around musicians that my parents knew, there were people who couldn’t imagine being sober because they thought that was the nucleus of their whole creative existence.

“When I got off it, it didn’t really have anything to do with the creative for me, it was really extra-curricular activity to do in between stuff.

“So I definitely feel fortunate that I didn’t fall into a complete creative block because I wasn’t high.”

Duff McKagan’s wife Susan was interviewed this week on the Guns N’ Roses fan podcast Appetite for Distortion.
