Few musicians in rock ‘n’ roll can carry off a single name, and carry it with gravitas. That is except Slash. And few guitarists command as much respect as Slash (real name Saul Hudson).

The pioneering  member of Los Angeles-based hellraisers Guns N’ Roses  and  one  of  hard  rock’s  finest  guitarists  is  set to rock Malaysia for the very first time on Aug 5.

The Slash concert venue, subject to permits and confirmation, is tentatively Sunway Lagoon in Selangor.

“We’re still working on his permit. It shouldn’t be a problem for Slash to perform here,” assures Datuk Mohammad Mohammad Daud, deputy secretary-general of the Information, Communications and Culture Ministry, the powers that be in issuing performing license to local and international acts.

“However, we might propose a change of venue because we don’t think Sunway Lagoon is suitable for a rock icon of Slash’s stature.”

Back in blistering live form, Slash, 44, is touring in support of his highly acclaimed recently released solo self titled debut.

Slash’s touring band includes Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy (vocals), Bobby Schneck (guitar), Todd Kerns (bass) and Brent Fitz (drums). For a celebrated rock star that has such an illustrious past, Slash has confirmed he will perform a mix of his new solo material, Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver songs. Among the Guns N’ Roses classics featured in his concert sets include Civil War, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Night Train, Paradise City and Nice Boys.

Tickets details for Slash’s show in Malaysia to be announced soon.

It was 17 years ago when I first received a special gift for my excellent UPSR exam results. A mini-compo stereo set that came with a high-tech CD Player which in the year 1993 is considered advance technology and exciting. I still remember my first CD that I bought to test out the set. It was none other than Guns & Roses Spaghetti Incident.

The reason was simple; nothing beats the sound of solo guitar and hard rock on a new radio set, no matter how funny the set look today!

Eventually from the Spaghetti Incident album I fell in love with Guns N Roses in particular listening to Slash in action as there is nothing cooler than the sound of lead guitarist mastering a music piece. Like many, my favourite songs would be the famous “November Rain”, “Sweet Child of Mine” and the less famous “Down of the Farm” and “Since I Don’t Have You”

Ranked #2 by Time Magazine in August 2009 in the “10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time”, Slash is a rock legend. He is one of the most distinctive and in-demand guitarists of the last 30 years, equally confident working in hard rock and pop.

He is even cool enough to be a key character in Guitar Hero, “Now Everyone Can Be Slash” !

And many do not know that Slash is no stranger to Malaysia’s music industry. The master himself had a touch in one of our Rock Queen, Ella’s hit single. Check out the music video of Bayangan which features the sound of Slash on guitar alongside Ella’s strong vocal.

I cannot hide my excitement when I first got to know that my favourite airline, Firefly is actually bringing in Slash for a concert in Malaysia! Yes, here in Malaysia!
