Slash is adamant that despite it being the flavor of the month — there will never be a Guns N' Roses biopic. While promoting the horror film, The Breach, which he scored, Slash spoke to MovieMaker.com and gave his frank and honest thoughts about a possible Guns movie: "Yeah. That’s a funny one. People come to make the Guns N' Roses movie. And then I have people coming to me about doing a movie — I think it was after I wrote my book. It’s just not something that — collectively we’re sort of just not interested."
He went on to say, "I can’t imagine trying to find some actors that can portray the band properly. I mean, rock n' roll movies suffer from being just super, super corny and unrealistic anyway, as a whole. There’s very few really good rock n' roll movies. So I would hate to sell us out ourselves out with some sort of script that’s supposed to depict our history. I don’t see it happening."
While women, drugs and alcohol used to be major components of life for Slash and the other members of Guns N' Roses, he told us a while back that the lifestyle eventually grew stale: ["It was a pretty hard, fast-paced life that we've all been through, and there's certain aspects of it that just get a little bit boring, a little bit tedious. Some of the kind of circles that you surround yourself in to be able to sort of keep your high going or whatever — it just gets old after a while. And y'know, the underlying thing that's always been sort of maintained was just, as long as you can play, and it just, everything sort of fell by the wayside."] SOUNDCUE (:23 OC: . . . by the wayside)
