There are a couple of funny guys in England, actually there are a lot of funny guys there, but these guys do videos for a music store called Anderton's. One of the guys is Lee Anderton, and the other is a great guitar player and singer named Rob Chapman, who is in the band Dorje and owns Chapman Guitars (with Lee). They do a lot of really cool product demos of the gear they get in, so you can get the scoop on the gear before you buy it.

Slash has been seen in animated form before, whether it be in his 'Bad Rain' video or appearing in a 'Phineas & Ferb' film and music video, but he's never quite looked as he does in the 'Angry Birds Space' game.

Lizzy Hale and Slash Rock GnR's "Out Ta Get Me" Live [VIDEO]

Johnnie Walker — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:59:09 +0000

Okay, this is a Guns N Roses lineup I’d go see, with Lizzy singing. Not only would she show up on time, but she kicks this songs ass every way it’s possible to. Would you go see GnR if it was the complete original lineup, but with Lizzy singing?

Axl Rose Proves He's Still A Putz [VIDEO]

Dubba G — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:34:04 +0000

Could this guy get any lamer? Axl Rose recently sued Activision Blizzard Inc over their Guitar Hero III game. Why? Because they used Slash as a character in the game. (Put him right on the cover to!) According to Axl, he only allowed the game maker to use Welcome To The Jungle on the condition [...]

Time To Crank Up a New Video for "Anastasia" From Slash and Myles Kennedy! [VIDEO]

Johnnie Walker — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:46:08 +0000

This is a cool track that starts off with a nice little acoustic intro (just ignore the Les Paul he's playing in the video) and then kicks into a cool classical-style riff before the vocals come in. This song could also have one of my favorite Slash solos in it...those fast runs in the middle kick serious buttock. Crank it up and check it out!

Want to own a piece of Guns N' Roses history? All you've got to do is track down this dude who has Slash's driver's license.

Geoff Tate Uses KLAQ Streetfest Footage in New Video – Check to See If You're in It!

Dubba G — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 19:26:21 +0000

Geoff Tate has a video up on his website that features El Paso and his 2011 performance here with Queensryche!! Geoff Tate rocked the El Paso Downtown Street Fest before getting caught up in one of the nastiest band breakups in recent rock history. (I sure hope that wasn’t because I laughed when only Geoff had the huevos to try the hot sauce.) Anyway, [...]

Slash Gets His Star On The Hollywood Walk of Fame [Video]

Teresa Provencio — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:28:23 +0000

Slash got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday and Charlie Sheen was on hand to speak at the ceremony and took a shot at Axl Rose. Really Charlie Sheen? It’s unbelieveable to me that this guy has the nerve to make fun of Axl Rose. I guess he’s already forgotten what has happened [...]

Slash announced some headlining dates for the US today, and there is, unfortunately, no show schedule listed for El Paso or Las Cruces. (This is where I’d insert a sad face if this were a text or something) But if you don’t mind a little road-trip, you can check out Slash with Foxy Shazam near [...]
