Before the top hat, before the roaring solos that defined a generation, and long before the stadiums full of screaming fans, there was just a kid named Saul.
Born to a mixed-race couple in the UK — a free-spirited Black American artist mother and a white English album cover designer father — Saul Hudson’s early years were anything but typical. He spent his earliest days in the quiet English town of Stoke-on-Trent, a far cry from the wild energy of the Sunset Strip that would later become his playground.
At just six years old, Saul was pulled from the rainy streets of England and dropped into the vibrant chaos of Los Angeles, a city that would shape him, challenge him, and ultimately crown him as one of rock’s greatest icons.
This is the story of those early years — the influences, the chaos, the creativity — and how a quiet kid with a wild imagination became the legend we now know simply as Slash.
