I recently had the privilege of seeing Slash come to my hometown. And I will tell you now it was
one of the best sets I have ever seen. When I was a kid I was too young to go see Guns N Roses play
and when they split a little part of me died knowing that I never would. Growing up Slash has always been one of my idols, partly because he was always such a sexy bitch and he had first poster next to my pillow position but mainly down to the fact that his guitar playing was like no other. When guitar solos were all you ever heard on the radio, I could always recognise a Slash solo and instinctively would hit 'Record' on the tape deck. The man is and will always be a legend to me, and it wasn't until I stood in a small dark smoky room with a crowd of sweating people and heard him play Sweet Child O' Mine that I realised just how bigger fan I am (yep I almost cried!). My teenage days of Guns N Roses may be over but in my eyes, that guy has carried the spirit of that music on with him. That raw Rock 'N Roll Badass Sexy Vibe that music lacks these days. You can tell the guys that have lived Rock 'N Roll and the guys that just play it (You Son of a Preacher Boys know who you are!). If I could just get me a time machine I would go to every gig that man ever played.
So this month I salut Slash for being awesome & making me wanna cry and take my clothes off at the same time!
Peace n Love
