Slash! Seriously, its fricken Slash! Saul Hudson if you will. On September 18, 2015, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators took the stage at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island. And I was there, man!
This was my fourth time seeing Slash perform with Myles Kennedy, and for the fourth time, there was absolutely no disappointment.
Slash made a smart move teaming up with Myles. He’s an incredibly versatile vocalist who can handle just about anything from Slash’s extensive catalog, including the Guns N’ Roses classics.
And let’s face it, there’s something pretty awesome about seeing a guitarist as iconic as Slash performing in a relatively small rock club.
Opening with “You’re a Lie” and “Nightrain”
They started the night off with You’re a Lie from Apocalyptic Love which is a pretty killer song which made a nice opener. It was quickly time for some GNR action with Night Train taking the 2nd spot for the night. I love that track, and Myles does the song a lot of justice.
Guns N’ Roses Classics and Slash Favorites
Slash, like always, played his ass off throughout the night. A nice treat for the night was when they played Double Talkin’ Jive which I had never heard live until this night. That was pretty damn cool since that’s such a bad ass song to begin with. Following that gem, they moved into what is probably my favorite GNR track, You Could Be Mine. Such great energy, and again, Myles can pull this one off quite nicely. “When I come home, late at night, don’t ask me where I’ve been. Just count your stars I’m home again.”

There was a good mix of Slash and GNR songs throughout the night and no Slash concert is complete without a 20 minute rendition of Rocket Queen. This has been a staple in all his headlining shows that I have witnessed.
“Anastasia,” “Rocket Queen,” and the Encore
I was also pretty stoked that they played my favorite Slash song, Anastasia. It’s such a great track and it kicks ass live. They finished their set with Slither in order to get some Velvet Revolver into the mix and then came back out for the Paradise City encore. This is always an epic song to hear live. Such great energy and a solid song that everyone seems to love. The confetti cannons just make it all that much better. It was a great night overall. Hope you were there or were at least able to see him on another stop.
