Re: Izzy, Duff & Matt Live 1995 Video (Hey Bo Diddley)
holy shit awesome
Bo Diddley is The Greatest King of Rock n Roll Ever! i'm weirdly proud & honoured 2 GnR heroes played w/him.. usually i find some of GnR's influences/tastes disagreeable but Bo is like the ultimate endorsement..
tho he maybe didn't have a clue who they were..

03.10.1995 - Las Vegas, NV, The Joint Hard Rock Hotel
Sheryl Crow, Weezer, Duran Duran and Wayne Neutron play at the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Wayne Neutron was a band including Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Teddy Andreadis. The set included songs like Manic Depression, Hey Joe (both with Seal on vocals), Rebel Yell, Shakin' All Over (both with Billy Idol), Black Leather (Steve Jones), Raw Power (Iggy Pop & Steve Jones). Izzy Stradlin, Gilby Clarke, BB King, Bo Diddley and others played Bo Diddley's song from 1957 called Hey Bo Diddley.
Izzy: "I returned to Los Angeles after Duff's phone call: "Hey man, you come back, we'll play for the opening of a new casino in Las Vegas. It's me who's handling the roster. There'll be Iggy Pop, Bo Diddley, B.B. King, etc." I answered him "Whoaa! When do you want me to find you over there? If I can play with Bo or B.B., I'll come." He called me back the next day: "Izzy, you're going to accompany Bo and B.B. at the same time." How could I have refused that offer? I so went there and I took my place".
