Slash Returns To The Sunset Strip

(Gibson) When Guns N' Roses started out in the mid-eighties, they were a mainstay at many of the bars and clubs on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. By constant exposure and gig after gig Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, and Steven Adler built a strong and loyal following that helped them expand their fan base to other US cities as well. Some thirty years later, Slash returned to the Strip for three sold out shows together with his band Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators as part of Guitar Centers 50th Anniversary celebration.

Slash and the band played at the Troubadour on September 23, The Roxy on September 25, and finally the Whisky A Go Go on September 26. "It was nice to play the Troubadour, but we've been playing in arenas for so long I was like, 'Wow, this is tiny!' I love playing small gigs like that when you get a chance to do it," Slash told LA Magazine the day after the gig.

Since Slash and his cohorts have just released their latest album World On Fire those songs were of course the focus of the show, with songs like "Bent To Fly," "30 Years to Life," and the title track. The setlists for the three shows were fairly similar each night, all containing twenty songs, and all ending with "Paradise City" - a must when you're playing in LA.
