Former Guns N 'Roses man plays special performance

Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash performed a special guitar duet yesterday (January 6) at the Computer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Delivering a speech at the annual event, Microsoft boss Bill Gates invited Kelly Law-Yone, champion of the computer game Guitar Hero, for which Slash is a patron, to perform the game on stage.

He also introduced Slash, who performed ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ by his former band on a real guitar.

However is Slash the best guitarist ever? Have your say by voting for the greatest guitarist ever on NME.COM right now.

awesome. in his autobiography out last year slash writes about smashing his way out of a glass shower whilst on drugs, convinced that tiny aliens were trying to kill him. he then ran naked onto a golf course to escape, using golfers as 'human shields' until he was arrested. the part-man-part-jim-henson-puppet is a legend.
