Slash-guitarist-Live in Hong Kong

Last week on July 29th, Slash, former lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, performed live in Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo.

GnR has been my favorite rock band growing up. But since Axl went crazy years ago and with all that bad blood within the band, I was pretty sure that I’d never see them live ever. So you could imagine how giddy I was with anticipation when I heard Slash’s tour would be coming to Asia.

On to the show itself…absolutely unreal. Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) lead vocals on the older GnR and the more recent Velvet Revolver stuff was impressive. He didn’t quite have the reptilian dance moves of an Axl or a Scott Weiland but he did have a style all his own. Meeting Slash was a dream come true. Underneath his iconic sunglasses and top hat, he was a gentleman during the VIP meet and greet and a guitar god on stage.

My favorite songs from the night: Night Train, Slither, and Sweet Child O’ Mine. Gave me goosebumps. Here are some of the event’s photos from the night.
