The Randy Castillo benefit concert Monday was the first chance to see SLASH live in quite awhile. A couple of fans did send in some reviews of the show! Jason says the show began at 8:45 with Nicklebag and went on for four and a half hours! There were other bands, but the big draw was the GNR "reunion" of SLASH, Duff and Matt. They did some from the old GNR setlist including "It's So Easy" and "Nice Boys". Next up was "God Save the Queen" followed with B-real from Cypress Hill joining them on stage for "Paradise City". As if this weren't enough to make you glad you came, out walked Aerosmith's Steven Tyler to sing "Mama Kin" with the band. The show ended with a half hour drum tribute to Randy Castillo that included about eight drummer friends of Randy's. Jason left awhile after that and ran into SLASH signing autographs and doing pictures with fans. Jason has been wanting an autograph from SLASH for so long; but when he was within a foot of SLASH, SLASH and entourage left. A big disappointment. We understand that the group left for a quieter club where they sat and considered baby names. Jason is still glad he went. He had to scalp tickets to get in. As soon as the name is settled, Jason, maybe you will do better in the autograph line!
