Guns N\u2019 Roses guitarist Slash says his work with Michael Jackson was not a \u201ctrue\u201d collaboration as the late King of Pop let him do his own thing in the studio. Slash, 58, appeared on Jackson\u2019s 1991 album \u2018Dangerous\u2019.
However, Slash revealed that the secret to their successful partnership was not working too closely together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per Female First, the guitarist told wmmr.com: \u201cMike just does his thing and he does it so incredibly well. I mean, he just exudes \u2026 it just comes out of him and he just let me do my thing.\u201d
\u201cSo I just did what came natural to me and he just let me have the floor \u2014 that was basically it. There wasn\u2019t, again, a lot of forethought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I did \u2018Give in to Me,\u2019 I went down to the studio (and) met up with Michael for like 15 minutes. He went to dinner, and I worked with the producer, and I just put guitars on the thing and left.
\u201cThen Michael heard it, and I got a call back the next day. \u2018Loves it. It\u2019s great.\u2019 So it wasn\u2019t what you\u2019d call \u2018true\u2019 collaborating, it was just like, \u2018Slash do your thing on this.\u2019 That kind of deal.\u201d
Michael Jackson passed away in 2009 from acute propofol intoxication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slash said he will always be grateful to the late pop icon for the creative freedom he granted him.
He said: \u201cIt evolved into a lot of live performances and stuff during that period in the 90s. I guess he sort of related to what he thought my trip was all about and just let me do my thing.\u201d
\u201cSo it was great for me because I loved working with Michael because he\u2019s such a phenomenal talent, and I would\u2019ve been probably not into it if he tried to get me to conform to some other person or style or whatever, and it probably would\u2019ve never have happened.\u201d
