Slash – Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival

Description

EXPECTED 7TH NOVEMBER 2025

Rising to fame as the legendary lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, SLASH laid down some of the most iconic riffs in history and created hits like hits like “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” and “Paradise City”. Renowned for his top hat, curly hair, and Les Paul guitar, Slash remains a towering figure in rock history, celebrated for his raw talent, distinctive style, and enduring influence on generations of guitarists.
Following his temporary departure from Guns N’ Roses, he found success with his band Velvet Revolver, winning a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance, and later as a solo artist perfectly blending hard-rock and blues with a modern edge.
His latest studio album Orgy of the Damned reached top positions in several international album charts (#2 Germany, #2 Switzerland, #8 UK, #14 Australia).
It’s SLASH’s bold return to his roots and a celebration of classic blues, reimagined through his signature guitar grit featuring an all-star line-up of guest vocalists.
THE PRODUCT
Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival captures the full electrifying performance recorded on July 17, 2024, at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, where Slash and his formidable ensemble, Slash’s Blues Ball, deliver a gritty, soulful set honouring the legends who shaped rock and blues.
The band features Slash on lead and rhythm guitar, joined by long-time collaborator Teddy “ZigZag” Andreadis (keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Tash Neal (rhythm guitar, vocals), Johnny Griparic (bass, backing vocals), and Michael Jerome (drums).
Together, they tear through a blistering set of blues standards and rock staples, paying tribute to icons like Bukka White, Fleetwood Mac, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Bob Dylan, and Elmore James, while also debuting SLASH’s brand-new original, “Metal Chestnut.” Intercut with candid, behind-the-scenes interviews, SLASH reflects on his deep personal connection to the blues, sharing stories behind the songs and his reverence for the artists who paved the way.
Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival will become available in retail stores and online as 2CD+DVD Digipak, 2CD+Blu-ray Digipak and Heavyweight Black 3LP Gatefold.
