how would you like to be on stage competing with those two
Slash is like a sponge, he can play anything he has ever heard and Zak kills you with shread from hell. I mean he will be shreading out something like that and suddenly you hear a country lick in the middle , your neck snaps as you head twist to figure where the hell he got that from.
Two extremely talented players there.

With the big Gibson headstock banner in the background I'm guessing some sort of Gibson bash.......like their 100th anniversary concert or something similar?  :dontknow:

Jack, I've seen that before.  I thought Slash underplayed and was under volumed quite a bit.  Also, the 3rd guitar player, who is he, why is he there, is he one of the band member's dads, or a contest winner?

Also, I would guess that's from the mid 90s when ZW was in his Southern Rock phase.  That drummer, Randy Castillo, is now passed.  James LoMenzo, or J.Lo, has had stints with White Lion, ZW, Megadeth, Slipnot, etc. etc.  For a bass player, he seems to be the go to guy.

I saw Slash sit in with Letterman's band, and that band lost him.....easily.

Say what you want about Slash, he's one serious BAMF :icon_thumright:

He's always been an inspiration for me.

I wish he would go back to his southern rock phase. I love those songs.

Say what you want, Slash is a major talent,  Now Letterans band, Paul, Yea they could lose a lot of guys out there. That is one of the best bands anywhere.

Well, it's laughable that I could ever take anything away from him.  However, I feel Slash's best stuff is the stuff he writes.  There are plenty of guys that flat out rawk, but thrown into an improv/jam situation, they play it safe and fall back to what is fa,iliar.  If you want to see them squirm, put it in a non-guitar key. 

 

[Jusatele]

I see your point, when I get pushed I tilt my headstock up put the body on a knee and pull off a classical solo, it is amazing how many guys have never studied classical and it intimidates the hell out of them.

I'm not picking a fight, that was just the impression I got.

One piece of music history that always grasped me was watching clips from "The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus."  There are two songs in mind that really make me think of paths crossed:

One of them is Jethro Tull opening up the show with "A Song for Jeffrey," with none other than Tony Iommi playing hippie music on a strat:

The second one is John Lennon's Dirty Mac, singing "Yer Blues" off of "The White Album,"  with Eric Clapton on lead, Lennon on rhythm, Mitch Mitchell on drums, Keith Richards on bass and Yoko Ono playing in the Hefty bag:

Tony Iommi originally played a Strat, and when you're Keef in a band with Lennon, Clapton, and Mitch Mitchell, you have to play bass, lol.

The Slash/ZW thing, ZW's backing band is Pride and Glory.  When Slash formed the 1st incarnation of the Snake Pit, it has the Pride and Glory rhythm section.  This corresponded with the 10 minutes that ZW was in Guns 'n' Roses.  It was their joke to each other that Slash joined Pride and Glory and ZW joined Guns 'n' Roses.  In another odd flip flop, when Jason Newstead was kicked out of Metallica, one of his 1st straight gigs was with Ozzy replacing Robert Trujillo, whom Trujillo had just left Ozzy to play with Metallica.
