Grammy award winner Slash, who was born in London, England and moved to Los Angeles with his parents at age 5, burst onto the Hollywood hard rock scene in 1985 with the band Guns and Roses. Guns and Roses produced six studio albums and accumulated sales of more than 100 million albums worldwide. While he was with Guns and Roses, Slash helped the band change the face of Rock n Roll forever by writing musical riffs and guitar licks like those in the song “Sweet Child of Mine,” which Guitar World magazine once rated as the world’s most memorable guitar lick ever written. Over the last year, Slash, who has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has continued to make great music as a solo artist and entertain crowds around the world with several different bands, including Slash’s Snakepit and his super group Velvet Revolver.
Today, Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, are once again poised to change the landscape of rock with their heavy sound and energetic stage shows that have been lighting up venues across the country. Their latest album Apocalyptic Love has been tearing up the rock charts with songs such as “Apocalyptic Love”, “You’re a Lie”, “Bad Rain” and “Standing in The Sun”.
“We are very excited to have Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, at the Buffalo Chip,” say’s Buffalo Chip owner Rod Woodruff. “He’s 100% pure rock and guitar licks. He stands out even amonst others inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. There’s simply no one like him. He’s just that good.”
