Slash Live - Blues Solo + The Godfather Instrumental - Winnipeg

September 24, 2010 Show. The title says it all, the man tore the roof off of the place! Greatest guitarist of our time, bar none.

Huge props to Myles Kennedy, the man burdened with singing the tunes birthed by many of rock's greatest vocal talents. Not only does he perform every track with surreal accuracy, but he makes each one his own to the point where you prefer his version to the originals. If these two musical geniuses do not make an album together the world of rock will be never forgive itself.

But Slash and Kennedy are not the only two who deserve credit for this memorable tour. Winnipeg-born drummer Brent "Fitzy" Fitz hammers out every tune with the timing of a machine. Bassist Todd Kerns, picked up by Slash after impressing the guitarist with his knowledge of the famed axeman's catalogue at an impromptu gig brings the energy of a rockstar. Rhythm guitarist Bobby Schneck plays next to Slash with pride and power, not an easy thing to do for a guitarist of his skill level, and he should be commended for it.

If you get a chance to see this band, for the love of rock DO IT. I only pray they continue to work together for many years to come, regardless of what happens with Velvet Revolver, Slash's previous band made up of the Guns N' Roses crew minus frontman Axl and at the time replaced with Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scoot Wieland. Let me just say I am praying Myles is offered the position, but really I hope this touring band does something of their own. They're too good not to.

R&F'nR boys!

@guitarist149 Oh man, I've seen a lot of rock shows in my few years on this earth but NOTHING I've seen matched the vibe in that room.
