F'N SLASH F'N RULES
Friday night in Toronto, SLASH's heartbeat was raised to the ALARM / CODE RED level on his built-in pacemaker / heart-beater, and it was begging it to slow down. To the Sold-Out crowd that collected at Kool Haus to see the legendary axeman, that heartbeat that was the heart & soul of Guns & Roses was beating just perfectly fine.
After years of playing CRUCIAL MUSIC since the 80's, torrential and torrid touring, throw in a little drug addiction, saturate it in alcohol, a pending divorce, and throw in some good sex for measure, more drugs & rock'n roll, SLASH's heart has been maintained by a team of Doctor's and a well-oiled mechanism keeping him here, heart beating and fingers thrashing for the last several years. Thank God. By his own admission, SLASH admits that he should be dead at least 50 times, coming close to the edge and brink like so many brilliant musicians before him.
The world needs more SLASH, and we thank his good Keith Richard genes for allowing him to bless us with his presence and guitar prowess.
After the unprecedented success of Guns & Roses record-breaking debut APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, SLASH had cemented himself in the Axe-God Hall of Fame. The touring, success and creative & psychotic differences between the members of GnR, mainly AXL ROSE, brought the band to its own destruction in the era of stupidly epic and expensive videos and long gestating albums---think CHINESE DEMOCRACY, probably the Flop of all time, but SLASH sure does live on.
As the anchor of GnR, SLASH's rift's on "Sweet Child O Mine" & his Toronto encore "Paradise City" will forever be instantly recognizable and as some of the best music of the 80's and still today.
SLASH F'n Rules!!!
Long Live SLASH! See this Tour if you possibly can.
Keep It F'n Crucial y'all!!
