Slash Brings his S.E.R.P.E.N.T Tour to Tucson, Arizona
Guns and Roses legend Slash brings his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. (meaning Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance) tour to Tucson, Arizona, and gets a lot of wows from the crowd. Unless I am forced to sit in my seat, I like to walk around the venue and get different perspectives of the stage, lighting, sound, angles of the musicians, etc. So, everywhere I walked I kept hearing “Wow!” from the guitar-watching crowd. Maybe it’s the chemistry Slash has put together, the raw energy, maybe all of the above. Including Slash’s band itself, the opening acts of Eric Gales, Samantha Fish, and The Warren Haynes Band rocked the house. I can’t think of a better way to honor the blues with a line-up of these all-star musicians.
