SLASH
Every music fan has that moment
of rebirth when they remember the first time they heard a song, when I heard
“Sweet Child of Mine” performed by Slash and Myles Kennedy I had that “fall in
love with rock n roll, again” feeling!
Slash’s performance at the Tabernacle
was monumental, going from his gnarly backdrop featuring naked angels and
demons to his confetti filled encore. When the band first took the stage I
thought the audience was mostly populated by classic rock fans; because, I saw
middle aged people and a guy holding up and original Guns n Roses album, but as
they performed I realized that they had a hearty young following, as well.
Fans, young and old, knew every word to every song performed by Slash, Myles
Kennedy, and two of the best bassist I had ever heard. The fans I had a chance
to speak with agreed that they would love to see a Guns n Roses originals
reunion but, they blame Axl Rose for being too hard to work with. So, we all
worshipped the rock n roll Gods at the solo feet of Slash for the night!
The
sound quality for a live show featuring about ten amps was freaking
unbelievably good and Myles’s voice was smooth and powerful. I was surprised
when one song made room for a lengthy four minute guitar solo from Slash, and
still held the audience begging for more.
Clearly, the collective efforts from the drummer and bassists worked to
maintain the energy level between face melting Slash solos and chart toppers
such as “Apocalyptic Love” and “Dangerous Beautiful”. The audience was so amped up during the show
we had no choice but to throw up our horns, scream, and party like we don’t
have anything to do tomorrow.
Slash,
in his iconic top hat and haggard black tee, does a rock n roll show you could
die happy after seeing!
