The New Zealand Herald published a set of rules set by Slash and his publicist for potential interviewers in their profile of the legendary guitarist this past Thursday. The seven conditions must be met in order to be granted an interview with Slash – a pratice that is quite common among celebrities, though rarely published.  The rules set out by Slash were published as follows:

“* Guns N’ Roses is a topic that Slash can briefly touch on.
* You can briefly discuss the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame Induction – but only to the extent of the honour of that.
* You can’t talk about the ceremony itself and Axl [Rose] not showing up on their performance etc.
* No questions about Axl whatsoever.
* No questions about a possible Guns N’ Roses reunion.
* No “on the road” stories or historic infamous type stories based around Guns N’ Roses.
* There has to be  a focus on what he’s doing now and forthcoming events/plans.”

Slash recently released his sophomore solo album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators titled Apocolyptic Love and is in the midst of a tour supporting the release.
