March 24, 2010

Legendary VELVET REVOLVER/GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash will perform at the second annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards presented by Epiphone — set to tape Thursday, April 8 at Los Angeles' Club Nokia and air on VH1 Classic on May 22.

One of the greatest rock guitar players of all time and Epiphone signature artist, Slash will open the show with several numbers from his upcoming debut solo album, "Slash". Lemmy Kilmister of MOTÖRHEAD, Andrew Stockdale of WOLFMOTHER and Myles Kennedy of ALTER BRIDGE, who appear on his album, will be his special guests.

Lemmy Kilmister will team up with Slash and Dave Grohl to perform the electrifying MOTÖRHEAD classic "Ace of Spades". Later in the evening, Grohl will be on hand to present Lemmy with the "Revolver Golden Gods Lifetime Achievement Award" (sponsored by Splatterhouse).

Another highly anticipated performance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards is by influential hard rock icon ROB ZOMBIE, who will be joined for the first time by new touring drummer, SLIPKNOT's Joey Jordison. Two songs from the group's live set will air on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Friday, April 23.

To add to the night of mayhem, Epiphone signature artist and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY leader Zakk Wylde will be on hand to perform a very special metal version of the national anthem.
