Ola Hudson, the mother of former Guns ‘N Roses’ guitarist Slash, has died after her losing a battle with lung cancer, a longtime family friend said today. The late designer is known for her creating spectacular costumes for celebrities like the late John Lennon and Ringo Starr.

Perhaps no other rock & roll guitarist has been more electrifying in the history of rock music than the man, who was named Johnny at birth, then re-named James but later named himself… Jimi Hendrix.

As any rational rock music enthusiast knows, “The original Guns N’ Roses is one of greatest bands ever.” During Guns N’ Roses’ early days, die-hard G ‘N R fans would flock to sold-out concerts to hear the perfect synergy of former lead guitarist Slash (Saul Hudson), former rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, former bass player Duff McKagan, former rock drummer Steven Adler and … er… the vocal talent of long-time lead singer Axl Rose.

So, why is the hatred that many fans feel for Axl still exists?
