In this excerpt from the Collection with Slash, the iconic Guns ' Roses guitarist Slash tells Mark Agnesi about his love for Gibson Les Paul guitars and how his love for these iconic guitars started - a passion that made him stand out during the superstrat and pointy guitar era of the '80s. He explains that, at first, it was all about the look—the Les Paul just had this cool, classic vibe that caught his eye. Growing up, he was a huge fan of Jimmy Page, who made the Les Paul legendary long before Slash ever picked up a guitar. But once he started playing, it became more than just the aesthetics. He remembers hearing Led Zeppelin II as a kid, with songs like "Whole Lotta Love" blowing his mind. That sound stuck with him, and the Les Paul became the guitar that could deliver exactly what he wanted - and the rest they say, is history!

Watch the full episode now over at Gibson TV where Slash shows you and Mark Agnesi some of his most prized guitars including the famed "Jessica" Les Paul which can be heard across countless Slash songs, guitar solos and riffs.
