The video, shared via sources like theprp, documents a ten-song performance by the hard rock group at the annual Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, on June 12, 2015. The setlist blends originals from Slash's work with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, such as "You're A Lie," "Back From Cali," "The Dissident," "World On Fire," and "Anastasia," alongside covers including "Nightrain," "You Could Be Mine," and "Sweet Child O' Mine" from Guns N' Roses, "Slither" from Velvet Revolver, and "Paradise City" from Guns N' Roses.
Slash, born in Hampstead, London, and raised in Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent, moved to Los Angeles at age six with his father. His parents worked in the entertainment industry, and actor Seymour Cassel nicknamed him "Slash" in his youth. He entered the music scene by joining the glam metal band Hollywood Rose in 1983 and later replaced Tracii Guns in Guns N' Roses in 1985, a group formed from members of Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns.
Amid rising tensions in Guns N' Roses, Slash founded supergroup Slash's Snakepit in 1994 and departed the band in 1996 due to conflicts with Axl Rose. In 2002, he co-founded Velvet Revolver with singer Scott Weiland, revitalizing his prominence in the mid- to late 2000s. Slash has since released solo albums "Slash" in 2010 and "Orgy of the Damned" in 2024, featuring various guest vocalists. With Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, he has put out "Apocalyptic Love" in 2012, "World on Fire" in 2014, "Living the Dream" in 2018, and "4" in 2022. Notably, Slash rejoined Guns N' Roses in 2016.
This pro-shot footage offers fans a high-quality glimpse into Slash's dynamic live energy and his rich catalog, underscoring his status as one of rock's premier guitarists.
