Slash Said Sitars Sounds Cliché Thanks to George Harrison

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash says George Harrison is one of his influences. It might be hard to imagine that the guitarist who wrote “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” inspired the guitarist who continues to melt faces on hard rock staples like “Paradise City.” However, if you listen carefully, you can hear George in Slashes playing.

George might have inspired Slash’s guitar playing, but his sitar playing crushed one of Slash’s dreams.
The “Sweet Child O’ Mine” guitarist used a sitar on “Spirit Love,” which appeared on his solo album 4. However, Slash contemplated whether to use the instrument due to its connection with George. The Beatles’ guitarist used the Indian instrument on many Beatles songs, including “The Inner Light,” “Within You Without You,” and “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown).”
