Velvet Revolver - Sucker Train Blues solo 05/16/2007 Boston

[otm3904]

Slash has never played Les Pauls. What look like Les Pauls are custom made $10,000 guitars he has made for him. Its been that way since the 80's.

[DYZSYX]

that rare moment when slash uses a guitar with a whammy bar and 24 frets

[MrSFblack]

thats rare,its not everyday u see slash play his bc rich anymore.

[gnrfreak1]

@MrSFblack now he has les pauls with floyd rose

[PickThe6Strings]

Some people have no idea where that guitar has been

[Burritoman2]

He wasn't fired, he went back to STP

[Pop2Lock]

He already donated that fuckin' guitar to some charity program. The guitar was sold for about $12,000.

[huzza18]

@Pop2Lock exactly. Today he uses those Axcess LesPauls equipped with a Floyd Rose ,I guess. On the one hand I really apreciate Slash donating it,on the other hand it's such a pity that we won't see Slash with his iconic Mockingbird anymore :'(

[GuitaristfromHell100]

Damn Scott, why'd ya have to leave?

[stonerh]

@GuitaristfromHell100 He didn't, he was fired

[cris931609]

its obvious he uses it whenever he wants to use a whammy in a song

[bcrichplayer88]

heres my theory hes endorsed by gibson not by bc rich and his gold top does not have a floyd for some of the solos cause they are fun as hell to fuck around with either that or he still likes the mocking bird all major artists are pretty much endorsement whores unfortunately not everyone has the coin for a gibson

[Canadianspunge]

@bcrichplayer88 He used Mockingbird's before he used Les Pauls and I'm guessing his Les Pauls are a trademark of him in GNR so he may also have wanted to change it up a little with Velvet Revolver

[iggvf]

@Canadianspunge no... his first guitar was a les paul copy and he used a lp for the first album... the bc rich in songs where he needs the tremolo system

[ConstantineGuitar]

@iggvf Right but now he uses a Les Paul with a tremolo

[Guywithcorn69]

@ConstantineGuitar yeah its pretty nice a black lp with a tremolo pretty cool

[ConstantineGuitar]

@Guywithcorn69 Personally I hate it

[groovey65]

@Canadianspunge no he's used mockingbirds in GNR as well. It's just a guitar he uses every now and then mainly because he wants to use the whammy lol or because the song was recorded with this guitar.

[Canadianspunge]

@groovey65 Ah okay. thanks for clearing that up.

[darrenw5094]

BC Rich Mockingbird debut was You Could Be Mine. 1991 official video was the one. Course he has used it quite a bit since then.

[iloveslashhard1]

he doesnt use it for nightrain.

[fleafarteasy]

His actuall all time fav guitar isnt a Gibson its a hand made les paul that a guy in New York made him. He used it extensively throughout appetite.

[vidjal]

@fleafarteasy its true but he said the guy that made it was from Redondo Beach CA.

[ptinain94]

Slash use this guitare for Nightrain and you could be mine ;)

[highandmighty93]

Slash playing a b.c. rich, instead of a les paul, blasphemy.

[slashpawns]

he uses a bc rich a lot of times!

[vitinhoBR3]

you u see his biografy, you'see that he has many gutiars, not only les paul, and B.C Rich apeaars several times

[ConstantineGuitar]

He plays mockingbirds alot with VR -.- ...really no different than his Les Pauls except his Mockingbirds have floyd rose bridges.

[MetalBaronRojo]

Damn Better Than sexxx

[emperorof420]

holy shit... first time i see slash use a tremelo bar

[Backslashy]

really ? :D:D

the first time i saw it was in the concert tokyo 1992 where slash played you could be mine :D

[msuman91]

he has used that mocking bird since he started dude ha ah

[200500470]

if that was axl rose hed snatch that camera right offa ya

[Musicvideos7000]

@200500470 hahhahaha

[ten8goa]

Nothing sounds finer than the audio from a CAMCORDER

[hilldominator27]

awesome guitar

[LoveIsaWonderfulWord]

What a solo. I'm really tired of the comparisons to Slash's previous band. I don't understand why people can't just look at it as a separate entity, a separate band.

....

Be sure to search for me, Jason leBlanc on Facebook and take a listen to some of the tunes and "become a fan". and check out my videos here on YouTube.

[MattkNT]

this song reminds me of you could be mine

[bcrichplayer88]

i didnt think he still used a bc rich

[sexyduck69]

love that guitar

[noeson]

waaaaaaa

♥___________________________♥

[ElJimboGuitar]

dude... awsome spot you were on... Keep on rocking (Love it no matter what style he has XD)

[remotecontrol1324]

it weird to see slash using the whammy bar ... Iam so use to see him with the les paul...

[CaughtSomeMahogany]

how about a B.C Rich Slash Signature?? hehe got a little carried away in my day dreaming. But it never hurts to imagine!

[lyndsayiu5]

... There's absolutely nothing special about the this Mockingbird compared to his other signature les paul which is modeled after his Fake Handmade Gibson Les Paul he used on Appetite.

[maxikoch]

fuck it.... you were actually that near to god himself?

[gunsnrev0lver]

Slash never dissapoints =D

[maxikoch]

it's fucking impossible for him to dissapoint dude

[AdyNX]

the fact that you caught slash on your phone is purely mindblowing.. i envy you :)

and yeah, the BC Rich Mockingbird was one of Slash's earliest choices among the well known Gibson Les Paul

[Mangaboy425]

I think that is Slash's second fav guitar model after a les paul

[stiltonzilla]

its a bc rich mockingbird ver nice guitar!

[whiib]

to answer everyones question slash is using a bc rich mockingbird sl because the st is a darker red

[Kalamacina2]

Do you know if some mockingbirds come with a floyd rose, or did Slash have to have one installed? 'cause I can't find a mockingbird with a tremolo in any shop.

[whiib]

well almost all the mocking bird have a tune o matic bridge exept the sl model because he ordered it but im sure you can order one!

[Kalamacina2]

Hej, pa sad sam tek vidio da smo zemljaci! :)

Mislis da bi mi se isplatilo narucivati Mockingbird sa Floydom? Da ne bi bilo preskupo?

[Kalamacina2]

Hej, pa sad sam tek vidio da smo zemljaci! :)

Mislis da bi mi se isplatilo narucivati Mockingbird sa Floydom? Da ne bi bilo preskupo?

[whiib]

oh super pa cuj ak ti se da onako se zajebavat sa zajebanom stimanjem floyda i zajebano mjenjanje zica onda naruci! ja iskreno vise volim tuno matic konjice ugodnije i lakse stimanje i mjenjanje zica! i mislim da ti nebu bilo preskupo sad je vec stari model pa se cijena snizila odkud si?

[Kalamacina2]

Zagreb, ti? Hvala na savjetu, budem jos malo promislio, da se ne zaletim.

[whiib]

isto iz zagreba to ti je dobro malo da saznas tocno kaj hoces!

[thebesthippy]

get the st, ive got one and it's awesome! but with a few modifications you can make it nearly the same as the sl

[deathir123]

yes there is one version with floyd =) thanks god

[B1az3xGoiNxPRO]

is slash useing a bc rich mocking bird

[jryan123]

yes

[crue31]

wow ur really lucky to be that close

[stratos4lif]

i was there dude....that was a freaking good concert!!

[PiercingTruth]

is that a mockingbird st?

[Ichron]

I'm pretty sure it's a BC Rich Mockingbird SL. The SL model is Slash's signature one.

[PiercingTruth]

thanks man

[Diehardslashfan]

st is much darker

[PiercingTruth]

yea but you never know with all the exclusive limited editions etc..anyways it would surprise me if slash played with a regular 600$ guitar...its possible, but not very probable

[Diehardslashfan]

right i read he played a bc rich costum back in the gnr days..and now its a special slash modell :-)

[guitaristONgasoline]

you can't buy the one he uses, simply cause that was custom ordered by slash and slash won't agree to a custom slash version for bc rich, so bc made the sl which is inspired by slashs guitar.

[funkyassfingers]

nice to see him with the mockingbird again!

[SkidRoses98]

slash = god

emo's = what slash's minions, servants, slaves, hamsters, fleas wipe off of the bottom of their shoes!

[alexisandres]

Todavia el Slash usa guitarras BC Rich ?

[dickkwikkwek]

Slash+tremolo is just... weird. lol.

[wiresystem]

hey what u think about my suckertrain blues

[Forgosss]

nadie hara rugir la guitarra como él.El puto amo

[Slash2776]

you are one lucky bastard to get that close

[FenderT154]

mess with the slash die like the Rest

[sledzik070988]

Slash is the best...Game Over...:-)))

[argentinamerican]

dude thats awsome
