One last note on GnR guys....



Yes, the interplay between Slash and Izzy is amazing on Appetite.
Izzy's on the right and Slash the left.  Well, I had a chance to meet
Slash in 97 twice.  He was doing the Blues Ball tour... Maybe 20 dates
with friends for fun. "To get out of the house", he told me.   Teddy (GnR's
touring keyboard player), handled vocals, harmonica, keys, etc... He's
from New Orleans... They did a smokin version of 'Bring It On Home", and a 
huge list of great covers.  "The Pusher" Steppenwolf, "Supersition" Stevie 
Wonder, "Night Prowler" AC/DC, "Use me" Bill Withers, "Oh Well" Fleetwood 
Mac, "Only Women Bleed" Alice Cooper, "Crossroads" Cream, etc... The 
playing was amazing.  Slash was so cool man... The guy even
went on the bus and made us Vodka and Cranberrys!!! ha  Got my Les Paul 
signed, and we took pictures.  I was surprised that he remembered
doing the gig at the Cajun Dome (Lafayette, Louisiana) in 87!  Check out 
the Slash's Snakepit Official Site.  His snail mail address is there.  I 
wrote him about 2 years ago, and he wrote back.  The guy is very good to 
his fans.

Rock on,
