Legendary VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash performed the U.S. national anthem before last night's (Friday, April 16) opener of a three-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the first-place San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Watch video footage of his appearance below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsIhnB8LbiM Blabbermouth.net From Slash: It was not the wa wa pedal that failed me tonight, it was the cable. Just sayin'.

If I didn't see the guitar in the video, I would swear he was playing a jew's harp* :hihi: (http://gypsysoul.lunarpages.com/jewsharp.jpg) A small lyre-shaped folk instrument of uncertain age and origin that was commonly used in Europe in the Middle Ages. The rounded part of the Jew's Harp is held between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand. The narrow part of the frame should be positioned on the teeth of the performer. A small, bent, metal tongue inside the frame is then plucked by the finger of the performer to vibrate the tongue producing tones. The origin of the name is unknown as it has no apparent connection to the Jewish people.

considering his cable messed up, he did a good job. just glad he didn't hit some wrong notes Roseanne Barr style. Title: Re: Slash To Perform National Anthem At Tonights Dodgers Game Post by: Smoking Guns on April 19, 2010, 11:15:37 PM Didn't think it was that bad, the playing wasn't the problem.
Title: Re: Slash To Perform National Anthem At Tonights Dodgers Game Post by: Bodhi on April 19, 2010, 11:17:27 PM What the hell is going on here? We are talking about this like it was an actual real "performance." Who gives a fuck? It was the National Anthem at a fucking baseball game! If I was at the game I probably woudnt have even paid attention to it or skipped it and got there late, and im obviously a huge fan of Slash. Equipment failure? unreal. Who cares.
Title: Re: Slash To Perform National Anthem At Tonights Dodgers Game Post by: sleeper on April 20, 2010, 05:54:23 AM I agree with Bodhi what is the big deal? Slash can play the NA anyway you like it. He plays it this way because Tommy Lasorda likes this version. He was not having any kind of tech trouble in the NA. He had cable trouble in the 7th inning stretch when he did God Bless America. :)
