So naturally I'm pumped for the gig at the superbowl. I've got my ticket for the performance on the 16th. Is anyone else going to that gig? More so anyone who I can share a ride with from JHB to Sun City and back for that gig? Or anyone else taking the shuttle that way?

I got one of Matt Sorums's drum sticks,. the girl next to me got Slash's pick. I tried to swap with her but of course she did not want to know

Apparently Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are at Sun City filming a new movie...very cool, I look forward to it's release, I love Sandler's movies.
I guess at the current exchange rate SAfrica is one of the cheapest places in the world to make a movie.

A connection of mine was booked into the Palace for a few days prior to and for the KOC concert.
He says the hotel was crazy, besides the KOC boys hanging around everyday, you also had Sandler and crew there as well.

It took him a bit of bribery and corruption to get his signature 'Slash' Les Paul signed by Slash, in big bold black on the front of the guitar...he's been offered $14,000 for the guitar. ?
I said SELL it, he says he doesn't need the money. ???

Norio wrote @Don, agree. Axl may be a prick but he can (could?) sing! And write! (I'm assuming he wrote their songs?)

I agree as well. Axl was an awesome singer and front man during the G'nR days. I believe most of the songs were co-written with other band members, but he was a huge creative force back then.

Turned into a bit of a Diva towards the end, but wouldn't you get frustrated as well after 10 years on the road with a crazy bunch like Slash, Duff etc?? Hell, look at Steven Adler now, he must have gone totally overboard in those days, he's still buzzing...

If you have ever played GTA San Andreas, you'll know that he did the voice of Tommy "Nightmare" Smith, the DJ on the K-DST radio station. He ripped himself off quite a lot during his monologues, so that shows me the man has a bit of a sense of humour as well...

If I am not mistaken Steven Adler had a stroke or something.

Slash tweeted that he wants to come back with the Conspirators (and KOC?)

Yip, and unfortunately he's back in rehab at the moment.

Adam Sandler was in the KOC audience on Saturday and apparently the two Les Paul Slash signatures played by Slash on the KOC SA Tour were from Marshall Music straight of the Gibson wall (one from JHB and one from CA).

Slash actually tweeted how impressed he was with the standard USA production models.

JD Custom works from the Marshall Music Woodmead (JHB) premises, he most probably was setting up the guitar that came from Marshall JHB before being sent down to Slash. Slash apparently brought no guitars or amplifiers with him. Regarding amplifiers he specified JCM 800 Marshall's or similar.

Does JD setup your own personal guitars, Mike?

he has done some set-ups in the past but not exclusively. You know who I use most of the time ?

I have just found out that in the end Slash did bring his own guitars and the Marshall Music supplied items were not used at the shows.

Apologies
