Apparently Slash got nailed with an object and it busted his guitar.

fuckin rabid fans man.


 Slash  What'd I say? Rowdy crowd for sure. But amazing! The guy who nailed me didn't take me down but he busted my poor gtr. Ah well, it was a kick ass rock show

Rocket Queen, if you don't like myles after this you never will.

Slash needs to hold Myles prisoner in a recording studio if need be to get him to record a VR album if thats what it takes. He is an amazing singer, and really the first guy since Axl I have seen Slash on stage with that gets me excited to hear him. Slash's playing not surprisingly seems to have responded positively to having someone like that on stage with him as the songs just sound better.

Where's the Bow Down emoticon? I informed Myles on Twitter to watch out cause us GNR fans are gonna plan a mass kidnapping so he can never leave Slash. LOL!

This Godfather solo is completely amazing when the band kicks in full.

Slash is playing out of his mind right now, as his playing on this stuff dwarfs how he sounded on that GNR tour from 91-93 on all the same songs.

The Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti's brother Mike just posted this on the Alter Bridge forum:


Even the people close to that band seem to be taking notice of the awesomeness that is the Slash/Myles combo right now.

thats takin me to Rocket Queen dude.

Godfather... Awesome.

Jesus that tone

id sell my soul to have a tone half that amazing :drool:

Absolute class.

I'd like to see a better video of this, that's kind of wild...

According to Metalitalia.com, an unknown person suddenly appeared onstage at former GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER guitarist SLASH's Milan, Italy performance on June 10th. The commotion took place during the 'Sweet Child O' Mine' solo and almost slammed Slash down. Slash hit a stage monitor with his guitar, paused the solo for a few seconds, and then started playing again until the end of the song.

The whole scene can be viewed here: http://www.metalitalia.com/articles/4/35438/slash_atterrato_durante_concerto_milano_[video].html

Copy and past the link.

how awesome he just picked it back up and started playing!

wonder who that was???

hmmm u know i haven't seen Jim Bob on here in a while. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :o :o ;D ;D :P

Rocket Queen sounds amazing, probably the best sounding GN'R song that Myles sings.
Hope they keep it in the set for the Australian tour!

I kind of want to hear Fall to Pieces as well to see how Myles sounds on it. That in alot of ways was really Scott's song, so I am interested to see what he was able to do with it.

Yeah, Fall To Pieces is another great song, would be cool to hear Myles' take on it.

Only song I reckon is complete rubbish is Mean Bone. Why is that in the set when there are so many better Snakepit songs to play?!?!?!

This was Slash's comment on the incident. Nice to see wasn't too bothered by it and kept his eyes on the bigger picture that they were playing an amazing show.



Myles take on the show.


Brent Fitz (drummer) take on the show.


It is amazing to me that someone attacked Slash on stage tonight and no one in the band (Slash included) for the most part seems to care as they all raved about the crowd for being passionate and into it. That is rock n' roll personified.

Slash looks buff as fuck now and he must be strong cause it seems he just shook that fuck right off of him.

That does sound pretty fucking good.  I've not really heard much Alter Bridge.  Can this guy write?  If so he would make the most excellent choice for VR.

That's one of the best versions of Rocket Queen I've heard in awhile.

Fucking awesome.

Were any songs axed with these 2 being included?

They were included with nothing being axed.

This is kind of an awesome video. It is a best of from the show a fan made that is pretty cool.

That Rocket Queen was awesome. Nice job by Myles.

Here is a better video of the attack on Slash. Why people do stupid stuff like that at what was otherwise a seemingly amazing gig is beyond me. You try not to think the worst but after what happened to dimebag you just can't be too careful with deranged fans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQVJpOQ6tbE

Disgraceful... and Perla is rightfully annoyed on Twitter.  Slash could of got hurt badly here if it wasnt for the dude that took him out.  Im sure he was probably very scared for a minute there.

Imagine that was Axl  :hihi:  Axl would of jumped off stage after him and whooped his ass. haha.

That actually looks like the security knocked the idiot into Slash.  Looks like he may have been just up there to be up there and then jump off to the crowd.  Still you never know.

yeah they cant take chances after Dimebag.

It didn't seem to phase him at all -- he just straightened his hat first.


 :hihi:

Close up vid of the 'attack'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_XfY2RT6WU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_XfY2RT6WU)

Wow, that's crazy.  The guy is just running at him.

wish Myles had been paying attention and whacked him with the mic stand baseball swing style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keNKGl7LOEg

Here is a full video of Fall to Pieces. Really like what Myles did with it, he sings ballads very well as he has a good tone to his voice.

Ok wtf, I didn't see the point, he was just gonna touch Slash? :hihi:

That securityguard must have hurt himself...

just saw that video, that fat fuck should get the shit knocked out of him, stupid drunk fucks.

scary part is, how the fuck did he even get onstage? Ive been to so many concerts.. just seems impossible.

+1 and also lets hope he was just drunk and out of control and not some crazy with other motives. Because according to Perla's latest tweets the authority's let him go.

Think someone mentioned earlier so sorry if i am repeating but what made it so bad was the fact the security guy tackled him which is really what knocked him into Slash. I say he would've just gave Slash a hug or something....... but better safe than sorry

I agree.  Myles brings a versatility and range Slash hasn't had for quite a long time.  They really have a lot of potential and I hope they continue working together.  They seem to have good chemistry and both appear to appreciate each other's talent and know they have a good thing going....

That's really shitty that somebody would do that to Slash.  Any idiot who runs onto the stage deserves to get their ass kicked.  I'm glad that Slash is alright though.

I agree with Perla.  That's messed up.

Watched the videos though and performance wise things are looking quite good.  Myles continues to impress.  Although during every song he seems to tell people to get their hands in the air.  Might want to cut back on that a bit.

Perla has every right to be angry. This is disgusting. After Dimebag, how can any venue let something like this happen?? What if something did happen? In this day and age letting anyone storm the stage is unacceptable. It sucks because that's how many good people used to enjoy the show and interact with the artists back in the day (stagediving). But, after the Dimebag tragedy, you just can't take those kinds of risks anymore. :(

Check out the photo of the guy when he gets to Slash:

Damn, that guy getting up on the stage was scary. Hopefully, they'll pay more attention to security in the future. Can't take a risk these days.

In one of the videos did I see Tood Kearns wearing a LAMF shirt? I believe it was the Rocket Queen video actually.

Slash was very lucky that he didn't didn't get hurt during that tackle.

What I found extremely funny was how Slash sounded so much like Robin Finck after the inncident  :hihi:

Seriously though this band is kicking ass on every song. Thanks for the links.

DH

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: post of the year :rofl: :rofl:  brilliant.,

that dude looked like a monster from a horror movie

Here is a link to a HD version someone shot of Rocket Queen (full song). Sounds very awesome. It's a 2 song video with Civil War first then Rocket Queen.

EXCLUSIVE: Slash comments on Milan stage tackle incident

June 13th, 2010

Last night I had the honour of interviewing Slash ? yes, the Slash ? for Mixdown magazine. The interview, which was conducted to promote his forthcoming Australian tour for Soundwave Touring,  will be published in the July issue of Mixdown, so you can check it out in a couple of weeks, but here?s a teaser.

As you may have heard, Slash was tackled by a fan while performing in Milan a few nights ago. Here?s what Slash had to say about it.

So what?s with some jerk tackling you on stage the other night?

Now that all the facts are out, it was just some drunk guy who got on stage. It doesn?t seem like he had any ill will. What happened was, he came up behind me, and he?d managed to get up on stage and my security guard came up and tackled him, not knowing what this guy was neccissarily capable of or whatever. So the real melee was the tackle (laughs). He basically deflected the guy off of me, and somehow the guy had managed to be hooked onto my guitar, which I let go of, all in a split second. They went off the edge of the stage, my guitar hit the ground and I picked it up and continued playing, only to find that it was broken, so I had to switch guitars and finish the song. It turned out to not be that big a deal, but you never know exactly what it could have been.

Being a guitar nerd I have to ask, which guitar? Is it gonna be okay?

Yeah it?s fine. I used it yesterday, and this happened the day before yesterday. All he did was rip the machine head off. The whole mechanism was sort of off. It was one of the Gibson ?Inspired By? guitars, which is a replica of my 1988 Les Paul Standard. So it?s one of those guitars that?s been Murphy-aged [aged by Gibson's Tom Murphy]. That?s why I only take new guitars on the road. I don?t take old guitars on the road because, in the sort of spirit and energy of the kind of performances that I do, and all the bands I?ve been in, there?s a certain amount of chaos, so if you?re looking to keep something preserved in its pristine state, don?t use it! (Laughs). Gibsons are durable, but if you feel any sentimental attachment to something that you?ve had for years and obviously have been through a lot of stuff with, leave it at home and take something else.

I would sure like to get a DVD of that show!

Why was that man not detained and arrested? Everybody knows how many nutcases there are out there who get obsessed with celebs. This man may have had the intention to hurt or kill Slash. What if he had the intention of showing up at Slash's next show? I know that this has been brought up before but look what happened to Dimebag. They say that the nut who killed Dime was obsessed with Pantera and blamed Dime for Pantera's breakup. What if the guy who went on stage after Slash blamed him for the demise of GnR?

Here is another high quality Rocket Queen from a few days ago at Nova Rock. Slash is just on fire right now and the band as a whole sounds amazing. Scary part is they are approaching their 3 month anniversary as a band and they are this good together already.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gHngadwn-c

they've really only been playing consistently for about 3 weeks; starting at the end of May;

those other shows and performances were kind of tease for this tour which they have just consistently gotten better and Myles seems to have gotten in a groove w all slash's back catalogue

Wow!!! Really great videos!!  : ok:

That incident was pretty crazy, I?d say the guy might?ve just hugged Slash when he got to him but the security guy dived on him and it resulted in him knocking Slash over. Slash was still pretty cool to just continue on playing after he switched guitars. R&FNR? ;D
