The 1972 record Slash would save from a burning building
Slash said he would save The Rolling Stones’ 1972 album *Exile on Main Street* from a burning building, calling it a well-rounded rock record. His choice reflects the album’s lasting place in the rock tradition that shaped Guns N’ Roses and other hard rock acts.
In a 2008 interview, Slash praised the double LP’s length as well as its broad musical range. The article describes its blues, country and gospel influences, and recalls that the Stones recorded it in France at Nellcôte using a mobile studio, producing a raw, unpolished sound.
