Slash is an autobiography written by Slash and Anthony Bozza. The book chronicles the life of one of the world's most notorious and recognizable rock guitarists.

Most of the book focuses on Slash's years of debauchery with Guns N' Roses, including every rock star cliché imaginable: trashed hotel rooms, groupies, drug abuse, etc. In the book, Slash talks about Axl Rose, singer with Guns N' Roses, and the breakup of the band in the mid-90s. He explains that a lot of tension was brought about because of Axl's apparent inability to show up to gigs and rehearsals on time. In addition, Axl's almost dictatorship-style control of the band contributed to the downfall. Slash also cites that Axl wanted to change the musical direction of the band to include more synthesisers and effects, rather than loud guitars as had previously been the case.

Despite explaining about the downfall of the band, Slash is not as critical of Axl Rose as one might expect. He explains that after his departure from the band, he did not really have anything to say about Axl or Guns N' Roses and so the media took this as meaning he strongly disliked Axl. The truth is that Slash and Axl were good friends and often had heart to heart discussions about topics they could both relate to. Slash relates how he eventually achieved stability and sobriety after his second marriage and the birth of two sons.
