I got my tickets.  After all the videos/interviews that I've viewed/read/posted over the years -- I've never seen Slash live.

I'm looking forward to the show.

I'm looking forward to the show.

I saw Slash on his last Tour- was on the rail ,small club- a foot in front of him- you will not b disappointed! He is thoroughly entertaining & never stops moving, you can see him talking thru his licks & totally living thru his Ax- hearing him play all the classic Appetite songs was incredible for a hardcore GnR fan- i Love the new GnR line-up but it's surreal to have Slash take you thru the memories of these songs- It's like he is the lead singer & the entire band (his current band) & all eyes are on him - everyone else is secondary& that's a good thing!

 Honestly it doesn't matter who else is on stage with him as long as they stay out of his way & let us enjoy his playing & showmanship. I know a lot of people think Myles is a good singer & he is, but NOT for GnR songs. He embodies zero of the qualities Axl has-no swagger, no bad-ass vibe- he's just singing in the back round like he's in some boy band- somebody like Scott Weiland does a much better job with the GnR songs & attitude. Now I have no desire to see Axl Back with Slash because the current band fucking rules & they ARE GNR! But the Slash show is an awesome nugget & I'd see it again in a heartbeat- enjoy!

got my ticket for August 4th in Huntington, NY!!!! That venue is only 10 minutes from my house! Glad he is playing so close, dont have to worry about paying a ton of money for train and subway tickets or anything like that. So pumped hes playing so close!
