Re: Slash and Bert
Pretty sure but can’t be certain that some time in the early 90’s there was a show in Wembley Arena or somewhere similar in London that was a Gibson Guitar show, and I’m pretty sure Bert rocked up and played Poor Boy Blues with the house band which had Slash and Jason Bonham in it.

Re: Slash and Bert
That would be cool to see! Rumor has it that Slash tried out for Poison in the early days. Bret says he wanted him over CC but the other 2 guys were adamant about CC. Not sure if Bret is just re-writing history with that one though.PhrozenInferno wrote: ↑Fri May 09, 2025 6:50 amGreat comment , thanks.sunshinehead wrote: ↑Thu May 08, 2025 12:50 pm Pretty sure but can’t be certain that some time in the early 90’s there was a show in Wembley Arena or somewhere similar in London that was a Gibson Guitar show, and I’m pretty sure Bert rocked up and played Poor Boy Blues with the house band which had Slash and Jason Bonham in it.

As for the hair....he started wearing the bandanna exclusively during the Flesh & Blood recordings. And he's admitted to wearing hair extensions at least.

Slash talks about this in his book.

Re: Slash and Bert
It was reported back in the 80’s that it was between Slash and CC. Bert was more in to Slash’s Aerosmithy style but CC came with oven baked songs and a look the other two realised would give them an edge. Worked out for the best.
