Legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist — and current Guitar World cover star — Slash will be honored next month with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, announced the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce recently. The star will fittingly be placed in front of Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard.
"Slash is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time," said Ana Martinez of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. "We are proud to place his name among the stars on our fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame."
