Slash & Fergie Perform Sweet Child O' Mine At Rose Bowl; Video

In Slash's defense, He has had plenty of success outside GNR. Contraband was Hugely successful and a damn great album.

Slash's Snakepit "Its Five O'Clock Somewhere" sold over 1,000,000 albums in no time then the record company pulled the plug on the tour after they made their money back.

When GNR was at its height of popularity and people still bought albums.  Those numbers were expected at that time.  Slash's Snakepit isn't exactly a legendary band though.  I haven't heard a song of theirs on the radio since the year the album was released.  Not exactly lighting up the request lines.

I'll give you Contraband being a hit, and even Libertad to an extent.  But not Slash's Snakepit.

Anyway, back on topic.  I still don't like this performance.  Both Fergie AND Slash were off their games.

Snakepit isn't too much radiomusic, though high quality

[babydolls]

urgh, that was awful. I shouldnt ahve bothered watching that. have always been against the idea of fergie singing this - actually its just a thing against any female singing GnR - it does not work for me at all.  Even Courtney Love, who I thinks ROCKS, now she's a true rocker as opposed to Fergie, but when Courtney sings Paradise City (with Hole at Big Day out back in the day) = BAD.
girls - leave the GnR alone. and slash, well this performance? no fkn comment.

No it didn't.  It isn't certified gold or platinum by RIAA and there is no basis for that number aside from what Slash himself claims

OFF TOPIC, but don't you have to request for RIAA certification?

Ok, that performance was ok. Slash didn't have the chemistry of his old bandmates beside him to make this sound like GnR but its just a bunch of musicians doing a cover on-stage. Nothing to get heated up about. I'm still happy to watch Slash play anything!

Yeah and there lack of Drums, a second guitar (excluding the base one you see in there or at least I think it was a base guitar) and without all that it dosnt sound like a good song. But Slash did his part they should have made it at least have the element of a actual band playing.

Ha I think that it was just the wrong girls that were singing I mean who can say that a girl can rock as much as a guy I hope by now we all can say thats not the problem.

Go back a few pages and you will see my link.  The first one had bad audio, I posted 2 other links from the same show that had a good mix.

Not only that, I rather listening to "I'ts 5 o' Clock" over Chinese Democracy anytime. There's better guitar playing all over it!

Btw, I just can't stand Slash playing with Fergie, she's part of the problem...

Maybe you should give the bong a rest.

Maybe we all need to give the bong a chance 

But I gotta say Chinese Democracy is the better song!

Man, that Fergie is hot. I would not be unhappy if she emerged as the new lead singer for VR.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

That will never happen she is not even close to the qualifcations to be the lead singer. She should be bowing down to Slash for even concidering doing this SCOM at the Rose Bowl.
