Sounds fun.  Jim Bob, what are you getting Slash for his bday?

Please, just don't.

There's no need to further incite arguments.

shit and i just came from vegas  :rant:

Will be awesome to see who collaborates with Slash at the birthday party.

Slash has been in my city a lot lately.    I wouldn't pay $100 for the first night, but the second night for $30 is interesting.   Well seee.

The poster is pretty cool....

I'd love to be at that party!! 

Got room, at your place, for me to stay, Jim Bob?    ;D    You woudn't have to go with me....promise!!   

i'm thinking of going to the acoustic show.

i dont HATE the guy I just say he's overrated by some here. (lets not make this an argument about that)   I love the old stuff he did in GnR.

and yes i have an extra room

take some pornstars with you Jim so you can get backstage and get me an autograph. ill accept it as a late bday present  :hihi:

I think he's friends with some of them;

believe it or not people, the guy just may have a diverse group of friends :o

wish I was in vegas; sounds like a fun two days

Interesting.....

By Robin Leach

Former Guns N? Roses lead guitarist Slash celebrates his 43rd birthday with two nights of celebrations, starting at the Bare pool lounge at The Mirage, with Perry Farrell from Jane?s Addiction as guest DJ and Slash with surprise guests, and following that set with his own Velvet Revolver concert. The Rhapsody music service has hired Vegas HD to shoot the show for worldwide DVD release ?

SLASH celebrates 43rd Birthday in Vegas today at a topless joint! WORD

SLASH will celebrate his 43rd birthday today with a series of parties at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas. He'll kick things off by performing at the resort's topless pool lounge Bare, with special guests PERRY FARRELL and pop singer FERGIE . When that winds down, he'll throw an after-party at the BEATLES-themed revolution lounge.

Well, I guess...WTF did we think the "Bare Pool Lounge" was, when you think about it?!?   :hihi:

I'm getting a little concerned about the Fergie thing...not that he performs with her, but that her performs with her so much!  Hmmmm.......   

Yeah, looks like he performed with Fergie again...

Sounds like quite a party.....

More than candles blown out at Slash-A-Palooza

By John Katsilometes ? July 24, 2008

Maybe this all didn?t happen Wednesday night. Maybe, on my walk through the parking garage leading to The Mirage, someone flung a brick at my head and knocked me cold, and the whole tableau played out in my concussed consciousness.

Perhaps the great ventriloquist and soon-to-be Mirage headliner, Terry Fator, was not joined onstage on a pool deck usually reserved for seminude sunbathers by the famously long-bearded Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Maybe it was a dream that Jason Bonham, the shaved-headed percussionist son of the late John Bonham, didn?t crash through a piercing version of ?Whole Lotta Love? as onetime Jane?s Addiction and Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell crawled across the stage wailing that we needed to keep the party going because, ?We don?t wanna die, do we?!? It could be that former Spacehog vocalist and deposed husband of Liv Tyler, Royston Langdon, didn?t blithely scream the lyrics of ?Stone Free? and ?Jean Genie? into a temporarily dead microphone to a throbbing audience that didn?t seem to notice, because Slash and his searing Gibson guitar were hoarding the spotlight.

Yep, it could be that Stacy Ferguson, or just ?Fergie,? didn?t really sashay onstage in skin-tight black Spandex pants and a grey T-shirt emblazoned with a gold L.A. Dodger logo for a hair-raising version of ?Sweet Child O? Mine,? fairly dry-humping the former Guns ?N Roses lead guitarist as he nimbly unleashed his signature solos. And it might be my imagination that Fergie, in the midst of covering Heart?s ?Barracuda,? might have fallen short of Ann Wilson?s vocal dexterity but executed a move Wilson could never pull off ? a trio of one-handed summersaults. And maybe the entire surreal experience didn?t close with Slash cutting into a very tall birthday cake shaped like his trusty Gibson, topped by a quite-familiar black top hat, and a wildly diverse mix-and-match group of celebs singing, ?Paradise City,? ? with Fator, Farrell, comic actor Tommy Davidson and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains providing a glistening-with-sweat Fergie with backing harmonies.

But it all did happen. As proof, I still wear a white wristband reading ?Bare pool lounge,? and am suffering what might be a pair of perforated eardrums.

Oh, and happy birthday to Slash, who turned 43 (and should know better) yesterday and last night. Forgive those of us who did not bring gift baskets to Slash-A-Palooza. But the 600 or so revelers who paid $100 a pop surely couldn?t have anticipated the sample plate of rockers (and the odd ventriloquist) who thundered through a 2 ?-hour spectacle at The Mirage?s finest water feature. Others who ambled on and off the stage included bassist Mike Inez (also once of Alice In Chains); Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello; Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, Senen ?Sen-Dog? Reyes of Cypress Hill; Emma Taylor, Winston the Turtle, soul singer Julius and Dougie Scott Taylor (Fator?s handy puppets); and Perla Hudson, the mistress of ceremonies and also Mrs. Slash. That?s discounting a video montage assembled by Perla ? who seems so at home with the mic that she could emcee her own variety show -- that featured Rainn Wilson, Ellen DeGeneres, Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee, Sammy Hagar, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (playing trumpet to great effect) and Cheap Trick?s Rick Nielsen.

There was a tepid rumor early that the night that the event might feature a Guns ?N Roses reunion of sorts, but it never happened. It?s just as well. Who had the time?

Songs covered by some or all of this band of misfits included the G?N R classic ?It?s So Easy,? assaulted by a heaving, wild-eyed Langdon; ?Superstition? and ?Knockin? On Heaven?s Door,? by Farrell, a man who seems born to wear the bright-red pants and matching red-and-black satin jacket; ?Wish You Were Here,? by Cantrell and Inez; and ?To Kill a Man,? by Davidson, Sen-Dog, Will.i.am and pretty much everyone else on or near the stage.

No wonder the man of the moment could only mutter, ?I am completely f-ing overwhelmed.? That statement pretty much captures Slash, a man of few words but many chords who has managed to fill the guitar hero roll as well as anyone for the past 20-plus years. At one point, during ?It?s So Easy,? the cat in the hat ripped into a solo, casually tossed a spent cigarette butt into the photographer?s pit at the front of the stage, then spun around without missing a note. Niiiice.

The crew made it to the Beatles Revolution Lounge for extended play, and much of the amped-up crowd met them there. I lasted maybe an hour before the corner man in my brain threw in the towel. On my way out of the hotel a woman dressed like Sweet Loretta Modern of ?Get Back? strutted toward me and asked, ?Wanna have some fun??

I just laughed. She had no idea.

I'm calling it right now, slash is banging Fergie.

what would perla say??  Wouldn't be too suprised, i don't like her music but she is hot.  And she'll sing sweet child of mine for him. 

nooo!  :nervous:



hot? her face looks like it was ran over by a truck.  : ok:

Perla would most likely beat Fergie to a pulp. Perla always seemed pretty aggressive and no nonsense to me. Not to mention very jealous.

i hope i'm able to get into the nightclub tonight and its not already filled up to capacity.  but im gonna try. 

that would be cool if you did get in JB Good Luck!!!!  : ok:

and if you could let us know what happens,  try to be a bit objective about Slash's performance though please :hihi:  :peace:

second that you hater :hihi: j/k

we were about 10 minutes late and the line was way too long and we felt underdressed.   There was a shitload of people waiting to get in..   it wasn't worth it to us to wait that long, we hate trendy nightclubs, and didn't even know if we met their dresscode so said fuck it.     I won 200 bucks at wheel of fortune.  :)

wheel of fortune rocks. put in 3 dollars and won 250 dollars on my first spin  :smoking:

Women really shouldn't comment on other women's looks. Leave it to the men.  ;)

Damn, Why didnt VH1 or somebody tape this shit.

Id love to have seen all this go down.


Slash is lookin buff as hell.

well happy birthday

Why? Us women know whether or not another woman is attractive or not. Why should only men comment? Btw, I think that Fergie is pretty. Certainly not beautiful but pretty.

Slash hits Jet as birthday party rolls on

By Robin Leach

Guitar great Slash continued his 43rd birthday celebration into a 2nd night of celebrating- and early this morning (Friday) he still showed no signs of slowing down.

First, he took 60 friends to see the Cirque du Soleil-Beatles show Love at The Mirage and that was followed by dinner at the Stack restaurant and bar also in the Mirage. He ordered Yellowtail Sashimi, Surf & Turf and Sea Bass for his party group.

Then at the midnight hour, the rock icon, formerly with Guns 'N Roses and now with Velvet Revolver, turned the nearby Jet nightclub into an all-star jam with Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine. Jerry, Tom and Slash teamed on the Pink Floyd classic "Wish You Were Here? as a trio, and every reveler in the nightclub joined in with a gigantic thousand-strong sing-along. As the last note played, yet another 6-foot-tall cake, complete with Slash's trademark top hat, from Jean Philippe Patisserie was carried onto the stage in a stream of sparklers.

As guest DJ Will.i.am then took over twisting the turntable and its wheels of steel for the remainder of the night and at 4 a.m. today, the party looked as if there was enough energy for a third night out on the town this evening! Luxe Life e will have the full photo wrap up of his 48-hour celebration early next week.

I hope that he is staying sober through all this madness.

I'm sorry if I ain't blind.  ::)


can't wait to watch this whole thing on DVD... and btw, happy birthday Mr. Hudson!  :beer:

Slash's Birthday Bash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbaFpkXiTAU

The footage starts about one minute in.

That was AWESOME!

^^  Yeah, I liked that montage! 

Perla seems to have packed on a bit of weight, but she still has a pretty face.

She's actually lost quite a bit of weight, after having 2 kids.   

I was thinking that lately she looks a little thinner. If I were her and had a husband who's exposed to all those women while on tour, I'd work very hard on my weight. She still has a way to go but she seems like she's losing it slowly.

I was talking about Fergie. Perla is so so...but far from being gorgeous  hehe    :hihi:

Woops, my bad. Yeah, Fergie is bit of a butterface. Nice body, but-her-face... :nervous:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVOcMi0QkRc

just found Slash and Fergie playing sweet child at his b-day in vegas

HOLY FUCK, THAT WAS AMAZING!

wow after watching that video i finally see how much fergie sucks. so i just forward it to the solo

Thanks.

i thought she sounded better than at the other show ;)

oh she's disgustin'

Paradise City

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVvqYpBgCvY&feature=related

i guess you like big asses : ok:

i guess you like women peeing their pants on stage

Why is she dancing like that? SCOM ain't a strip song! Or is it?  :confused:

On the other hand, the solo was just perfect..

wtf are you talking about; you sound like a idiot

you're kidding right?  stripperslove this song and slash in particular; all strippers love scom : ok:

this:


here's a pic of it: (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/luluonthebridge/1036394169-Did_fergie_pee_her_pants.jpg)

if u like what you see there's more pictures on google..

who's the idiot now?  ::)

She looks so gross in that pic.  I like the imitation carmen electra look she sports now.

i like it when girls pee themselves.

rim, you like it when they pee on your chest.

if they're hot, sure  ;D

 :rofl:  you sick bastard, I love it.

gotta stop living in the past; that was 3 years ago; that's like saying "I'm not gonna go to a GnR show b/c their not gonna show up like they did in philly 6 years ago"  Just b/c something happened once, doesn't mean it'll happen all the time : ok:

you seem to be well versed on the Black Eye Peas :hihi:

I woulda never known this happened if you never shows the picture; seems you had it saved somewhere;

still doesn't change the fact she does have a nice ass and knows how to shake it

actually it's nothing like not going to a GNR show because there have been cancelations before.. really weird for you to tell me stop living in the past (both with your screen name and the reason u gave) it's not like i'm worried it'll happen if i go to a show, i think she was a overrated both in looks and talent before i knew about this, after i read about it here on htgth she just sickens me : ok: some stuff aint easy to forget about people, especially when it something like this, don't like the person and she's just in your face all the time thanks to the radio and now she's playing with slash,

and no i don't have the image saved anywhere as you could see the link to the photo is from some guys photobucket i found on google, my account on photobucket is named after my first screen name cheapjonday.. so you're wrong in just about everything you just said :o ::)

u know what? it's ok for u to think she has a nice and can shake it but don't try act smart if other people don't like it

Did Fergie write this song for Slash?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN9vm95SocU&feature=rec-fresh

yeah, it's hard to forget an image like that; just like it's hard to forget about a show you went to when the headliner never made it, a riot ensued, and a tour was cancelled b/c the promoter pulled the plug

..................please, dude-if you were at the show fergie pissed herself, yeah I can maybe see it being memorable and even note worthy- but you didn't know about, found out by someone on this board, and just cause you are anti-everything slash has done since guns; want to bash fergie for doing a couple of songs with a friend..............at least I was actually at the Philly show and have a first hand account of what it was like........too bad your not old enough to have seen the original band live

man the things you say are weird, some day ago you told me i lived in the past, now you're telling me i'm anti-everything slash has done since GNR, neither are anywhere close to the truth and you would have known if you had half a brain :) i often praise stuff that i like that slash has done.. like most of contraband, and IMO aint life grand is an awesome fucking record and have said it on this board numerous of times,  thing about fergie is that i've always thought she wasn't that hot that everybody said, then when i found out she peed herself that was just yuckie for me (why the fuck am i arguing about fergie on a GNR board :no: )i don't like her voice or stage performance when i've seen her with slash.. it's a shame he plays with people like that, but it's cool when he plays with cantrell and other folks, i'm not that anti-slash after all huh? maybe anti-some of his friends that are musicians but that doesn't count because i bet most of his fans don't like all his friends that are musicians and that doesn't make them anti-slash


actually yeah, i think it kinda sucks that i never had the oppurtunity to see that band but it wasn't really my choice and i understand that it must have sucked for you back in 2002 but i hope that didn't keep you from seeing the band in 2006..

shall the 2 of us stop with this bullshit or not?
falcon tell us off so we stop because i bet it's annoying to more people then me ;)

i'm sorry sir... im just not that into the stripper's world like you seem to..  ::)


how manly......

I saw them 2x's in 2006; Hammerstein and MSG, Hammerstein was great, MSG was mediocre
I was using the reference to the cancelled show as an analogy; nothing more

as for fergie, could care less what she did in the past; the fact is youtube is hard to tell how the singer sounds b/c different video recorders have different sound quality; I've been to VR shows that sounded great live but like shit on youtube....

ever see the Indy boot of the 91 UYI tour (I believe it was a warm up show w/out the entourage)---axl had a few strippers on stage to do a little dance :hihi:

and didn't Axl play CD for a bunch of strippers at a Vegas strip club? :o

manly?  I was just being objective

Me too. I just don't like her studio voice or anything. Who the fuck cares, not me, not you, nor anybody on this messageboard..

I would have been happy to slash play scom with kermit the frog :hihi:

Really awesome videos!  Thanks for posting!

I dont like the sound of Slash's guitar. Is it not tuned right for the GNR songs?

Well, it was just a birthday party celebration thing, so I am sure they didn't have the sound like u would for a big arena tour.

I've also hated Perry and never liked his voice much though.

I do prefer this tone compared to the one in Sweet Child video in this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZubjXW6wHw

It seemed to sound a little fatter and more ballsy.  I am not a huge fan of the vintage modern.
