Slash accepted the award with a statement in which he said, "This is my first guitarist award ever. It's very humbling. I'd like to thank my parents, and I'd also like to thank everyone I've ever f--king worked with in the music business from the point I started at up until now -- the bands I've been in, the sessions I've done, and the artists I've worked with. My wife is at least half of the reason I'm still walking. I'd also like to thank Robert Wolin; he got me to switch from bass to guitar. Thank you."{br}{br}View the Entire Article{br}
