In a new interview with the WMSC radio station, GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Slash paid tribute to classic AEROSMITH, saying: “There’s an AEROSMITH song called ‘Nobody’s Fault’ off the ‘Rocks’ record… It was one of the songs that when I first picked up the guitar, that was the record, that particular album, the timing of me hearing that record at the time when I heard it had a lot to do with how I ended up where I am.
