Slash at Quart - Today's Main Stage Lineup

? Slash & Friends
? McQueen
? Skambankt
? Juke Kartel

Opening the show today will be Melbourne, Australia-based band Juke Kartel.

Hand-picked by Slash himself to open the show "Juke Kartel is about one thing only. Forget the branding, strip away the hype. All that matters is the music.Rocking loud and hard, with a respectful nod to the blues, Juke Kartel is a charismatic blend of talent, passion and dedication with a downright mischievous streak."

Next up is Skambankt, a Norwegian hard rock band from Klepp.

They play a mixture of classic rock'n'roll, punk and hard rock in the tradition of bands like Mot?rhead, AC/DC, Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Stooges. All the lyrics are in Norwegian, and they convey the real spirit of punk: against the state, against the system, against corruption, capitalism, monitoring, religious fanaticism, and generally hate and treachery. (Wikipedia)

Playing the penultimate slot is Brighton's own McQueen.

One of Slash' own personal favorites, in 2008 McQueen signed-up with new Manager Tom Zutaut, former head of A&R at Geffen Records and the man who signed Guns N' Roses.

"Zoot" wasted no time getting McQueen on the bill with Velvet Revolver for their UK tour before shipping the band out for a bullet tour of Australia and New Zealand, supporting Finnish band HIM.

Slash told Classic Rock Magazine that "the main band that I am excited about at the moment is McQueen. They?re one of those off-the-wall sorta left-field bands, all-girls, sorta heavy metal, but they?re really fucking committed - they take their shit very seriously. I played Nightrain with them in Nashville - and I haven?t played that song since before I left GN?R - and the singer, Leah, sang Paradise City at a Camp Freddy gig. It was impressive - she sang in key; there was no auto tuner on her voice. They have a lot of attitude, but if you don?t fuck with them, they?re very well behaved!"

However, the biggest star of this show may be the stage itself. The largest stage ever built in Norway - 576 square meters not including support stages or ramps - is situated at the base of the "Amfiet," a 10 acre lawn with spectacular view of the skerries outside Kristiansand.

That is an awesome setlist, it blows there was no high quality audio or video for it streamed by the festival people. Hopefully something better than some grainy cell phone camera quality stuff shows up.

Who sang the non-Ozzy songs?  Or did Ozzy sing them all?

Franky Perez was on vocals. The band was Slash and John 5 (guitars), Chris Chaney (bass), Jason Bonham (drums), Franky Perez (vocals), & Teddy 'Zig-Zag' Andreadis (keybords).


Ozzy sang Crazy Train and Paranoid. Fergie I am sure sang SCOM and Barracuda, so unless there are no other guest singers we don't know appeared Franky sang everything else I would guess.

maybe slash will hook up his fans w some soundboard vdeos on his myspace page

Slash left GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s, forming SLASH'S SNAKEPIT before later assembling VELVET REVOLVER with several other ex-members of GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland.

VELVET REVOLVER is currently searching for a replacement for Weiland, who was dismissed in April 2008.
