Slash is a fan of Kanye and Rihanna
Guitar legend Slash is hoping for a rock revival - although he admits he is a fan of some pop music.
The Velvet Revolver star, who has been touring in the UK, lists music by Amy Winehouse, Kanye West and Rihanna as stuff he likes, although he’s generally not impressed by today’s music.
When asked what he listens to, he said: “I’m force-fed like everyone else because it’s on the radio. I think the enthusiasm that’s been shown on this tour with Velvet shows that’s there are major rumblings of a rock revival, but we’ll see what happens.
“Right now, some pop music is really good, but it’s not rock, it’s not the real deal.
Slash says people shouldn’t be surprised about him liking RnB star Rihanna’s massive hit Umbrella.
“Actually, you have to recognise what’s good in every type of music,” he said. “There’s always something good going on, and just because it’s not necessarily my cup of tea, style-wise, if there’s a good song, I’ll always recognise it.”
Slash says there are other things “here and there” that he likes.
“There’s a song by Kanye West called Stronger that I like. That’s a great riff, and would have made a great rock record. You might not think it, but I can hear through it.
“And I really like Amy Winehouse, I think she’s awesome.”
