SLASH Tackled On Stage In Milan: Video Footage Available

June 10, 2010

Fan-filmed video footage of legendary guitarist Slash performing the GUNS N' ROSES classic "Rocket Queen" in Milan on Thursday, June 10 can be viewed below.

Photos of the concert at the Palasharp Arena are available on the news blog Musica Metal.

According to Musica Metal, a man climbed onstage during Slash's solo in "Sweet Child O' Mine", tackling the guitarist from behind and making him fall and break his guitar. The solo was briefly interrupted, but the rest of the band seemed oblivious to the event and continued playing. Slash left the stage for a few seconds, but then returned with a new guitar and jumped into the song's outro solo without making a mention of the incident.

Video footage of the incident can be viewed at MetalItalia.com.

The Pulse of Radio reports: Could induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame be enough to finally reunite the original lineup of GUNS N' ROSES? The original lineup of GUNS N' ROSES will be eligible for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013, 25 years after the release of their debut album "Appetite For Destruction". While Slash told Billboard.com he'd be sure to show up, he's not certain what else might happen. "I have no idea how that's supposed to go," he said "If Axl (Rose, singer),Duff (McKagan, bassist),Izzy (Stradlin, guitarist) and myself start communicating, it could go one way. If we don't, God knows."

Slash added that he would have been a GUNS fan even if he was never in the band, explaining, "GUNS N' ROSES was all the really great bands I was turned onto as a kid. If I hadn't been in GUNS it would have been my favorite band."

He also theorized on why the band has remained popular despite the break-up of the original group, saying, "There was something about the honesty of Axl's lyrics and the energy of the music people related to. It was a phenomenon."
