Slash Live in Hong Kong
Last week on July 29th, former lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses performed live in Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo. GnR has been my favorite rock band growing up. But since Axl went crazy years ago and with all that bad blood within the band, I was pretty sure that I’d never see them live ever. So [...]
