Watch Slash’s first acoustic session - ever


“This is the first time we’ve ever done an acoustic set...ever”
- Slash


Slash played a rare acoustic show while down under in Australia that was filmed for Foxtels’ “Max Sessions.”

The mid-August performance happened before an intimate audience of 300 fans at the Seymour Centre at the University Of Sydney; the Foxtel broadcast debuted this past weekend.

Slash and singer Myles Kennedy played a seven-song set, mixing Slash’s solo stuff with Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver tracks.

“This is the first time we’ve ever done an acoustic set...ever” said Slash. “I just pick songs that translate on acoustic: certain songs won’t, no matter what you do to it, they just don’t sound right not played at mega decibels. And certain songs, sometimes, were written on acoustic and translated later into a louder kind of thing, but they still feel good on acoustic. And then some are ballad-y and lend themselves to acoustic, anyways. You just sort of pick the ones that will work acoustically.”
