SLASH Performs 'Sweet Child O' Mine' With FERGIE; Video Available

July 20, 2008

VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash joined American pop/R&B singer, rapper and actress Fergie (a.k.a. Stacy Ann Ferguson) on stage at Saturday's (July 19) nearly sold-out show at Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California for renditions of GN'R's "Sweet Child O' Mine" and HEART's "Barracuda". According to The Orange County Register, Fergie introduced him: "Some of you little ones may know him from 'Guitar Hero', but I know him from a band called VELVET REVOLVER and a band called GUNS N' (bleeping) ROSES!" The Orange County Register writer Kelli Skye Fadroski added, "At the end of the latter track Fergie did numerous one-handed cartwheels, mic in hand, while singing the last high note of the song — I counted four cartwheels but started to get dizzy. Despite the acrobatics, Fergie should stick to doing what Fergie does best — pop-tart tunes — and stay away from rock."

Fan-filmed video footage of the "Sweet Child O' Mine" performance can be viewed below.
