Title: Get in! Seeing Slash in Manchester in July!
Post by: Twinfan on May 12, 2010, 09:07:46 AM

Can't believe he's playing the Academy, just picked up a pair of tickets for myself and the missus.  The guy that made me want an electric guitar (instead of the classical I was playing at the time) is still my #1 icon.

Saw him in 1992(?) with GnR, really looking forward to seeing him again  :D

Anyone else going to see him on tour?

Got tickets to see him on July 1st in Edinburgh. Looking forward to seeing Slash, should be a pretty good show and at £25 a ticket you can't really complain.  :D

I think it's Myles Kennedy for the US gigs, don't know if he's coming over for the UK tour...

Just checked Slash's site and it's:

Myles Kennedy (vocals & guitar)
Bobby Schneck (rhythm guitar)
Dave Henning (bass)
Brent Fitz (drums)

How do you like his new album?

£25 eh?  naturally enough, in Belfast they're £35!  and in Dublin 45 euro!  gah!  anyway, as always, when i check ticketmaster says it's site is closed for routine maintenance, so i don't know if there are tickets or not. 

i, too, saw the man himself with G'N'R in '92, and again with Velvet Revolver.  would rather like to see him again, so hopefully tomorrow i'll get my hands on a ticket.

you guys that have them already, well done! hope you get a great show :)

I certainly respect Slash but has he done anything more noteworthy than the classic Guns'n Roses tunes? I'm curious if he has another november rain-esque solo in his repertoire that I haven't stumbled across.
