Slash
Showtime: 9:00pm
Music Hall at House of Blues
Slash is a British-American musician that is well-known as one of the best rock guitarists of all time. In the late 1980s, Slash was the guitarist of the epic group Guns N’ Roses, which achieved huge success during the glam rock era. Their debut album “Appetite for Destruction” has sold over 28 million copies worldwide, and is one of the most well-known rock albums of all time. Slash’s rebellious and rowdy behavior helped Guns N’ Roses become known as the “most dangerous band in the world.” Their shows were rambunctious and wild, true to the 80’s rock style! Guns N’ Roses success continued until the mid-1990s, when Slash decided to leave the group and focus his energy on his side project “Slash’s Snakepit.” He also co-founded the supergroup Velvet Revolver, which helped put Slash back in the mainstream spotlight. And then in 2012, Slash broke out and released his debut solo album. And just a few months ago, Slash released his second solo album, Apocalyptic Love. Slash’s strong guitar sound and crazy, energetic stage presence prove that he is truly a rock icon that is here to stay!
Slash has received critical acclaim as a guitarist, including being named “Best Guitarist” in 2005 by Esquire, and also ranked in countless “Top Guitarist” lists in publications including Time magazine and Rolling Stone. Slash has also been honored with a star on the Rock Walk of Fame and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In July of 2012, Slash also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
