The reason Slash is a laid back guy is simple. He has just released a successful album where he could finally express himself instead of being behind a frontman telling him what to do and not to do, he has a gorgeous, awesome wife, hes touring the world doing what he loves and hes got 2 sons who he loves to death. the guy has the dream life for alot of rock n roll fans. Hes been lucky with his heart and now hes just enjoying his life doing what he loves.
