The godlike genius that is Slash plays Vicar St., Dublin on June 29. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday priced €42.40. You can also catch him the following night when he travels up to Belfast's Mandela Hall where it's ?32.50 in.
It’s not the first time he’s trodden the boards there, with older members of the Hot Press staff still remembering the night he tore the gaff apart with Ronnie Wood.
While Ronnie didn’t make it on to Slash’s eponymous debut album, he did manage to bag the likes of Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Rocco DeLuca, Fergie, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy, Kid Rock, Lemmy, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Duff McKagan, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.
Already a top 5 hit in the States, Slash is a far more enticing proposition than Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy, and suggests that he really doesn’t Axl to deliver the goods.
