Well
Perhaps not Slash, but Joe Satriani?
I am not a music theory buff (in fact this forms rather the cornerstone of the impetus that keeps my band and I making music in a world where all the musicians of our age we know started when they were kids- none of us have been playing for more than 3 years and we draw a great deal of inspiration from the fact that Jimi Hendrix, for instance, could not read music) but listening closely none of it really stabs my sense of rhythm in the head and calls its mother a cunt. I really would compare this to Joe Satriani going nuts over a particular rhythm- he has a deep understanding of the technical aspect of music and this allows him to fuck around and experiment where others would feel uncomfortable doing so.
