With his trademark curls and dark shades, Saul "Slash" Hudson spoke with Jian about his foray into making horror movies, why he prefers thrillers to blood-soaked gore, and his signature style.

"You're wearing shades, we even darkened the studio for you" Jian joked, to which Slash replied, "I'm not wearing a top hat 'cause that's just asking for attention. I actually think I am being low-key right now."

The contemplative solo musician and guitarist from Guns N' Roses was in town to promote his first project from Slasher Films Nothing Left to Fear.

He tells Jian what attracted him to film, why horror isn't a far stretch from rock and roll, and how to make a spine-tingling soundtrack.

"For me one of the greatest entertainment moments is when you have a great visual that's connected to the appropriate score and they work together... and that's just orgasmic."

By the way ... has anyone seen Jian?
