Re: Some Slash memories overheard at work
Thought I'd share.
We were taking a break at a film shoot, and one of the camera guys was wearing a Slash t-shirt, which I hadn't even noticed. This led to an impromptu discussion on Slash himself. The soundman recollected he was in Roskilde '95, the last day of the festival. Around noon, he hovered around the area and heard some racket on the main stage. He approached the stage and found around 10 people there, moshing to Slash's Snakepit! He reckoned they got "the shittiest slot on the whole festival". He got in less than 10 feet from Slash without even trying, though, which he considered a rare commodity.
Second time he met with Slash was when VR played back here in 2004. He thought the band was tighter now than the Snakepit act, but even so, Slash amused the concert-goers by yelling to the engineers between every other track: "More geetar!"
Not exactly spectacular stories, but it was amusing to notice that the people involved were seemingly quite knowledgeable about Snakepit, which was never exactly even a VR-level band in terms of recognizability.

Yeah I have a friend that went to a snakepit version 1 gig in Sydney Australia and met Slash after the show and they ended up going to see a local band and getting drunk. Slash is a real cool fan-friendly dude in addition to smoking on the guitar!!!

Re: Some Slash memories overheard at work
i first met slash before a snakepit vsn 1 gig in glasgow - he was really friendly to the few that were there and hung around chatting for quite a while. Someone was wearing a Guns t-shirt and kept turning around showing him Illusions UK tour dates and saying "where was scotland -eh?" too damn bloody right!
