I can't believe there is actually people here complaining that they went to a Slash gig and heard a long solo! Just shows that some people really do go for a night out rather than appreciating the music, Slash is a guitarist! You bought a ticket to see a legendary guitarist who played an amazing long solo during Rocket Queen which I thought was amazing.

Opinions vary, the quality of a solo isn't determined by it's length.

Ah the solo in all fairness started peetering out near the end, it was briliant at the start but then started to turn into self-indulgance, it was something similar last year in The Olympia, long solos??, put on some Pink Floyd and hear Dave Gilmores,that will wear your patience

Having said that it was a cracking gig, fingers crossed for a Slane appearance!!

If anyone deserves to 'self indulge' a bit then it's Slash

As a guitarist who loves a long solo, I thought the solo in Rocket Queen got repetitive

Yeah Pink Floyd is great too, I like instrumental guitar music like Buckethead, some John Frusciante, Steve Vai to name a few... I enjoyed Slashes solo performance as it was great to concentrate on his playing instead of all the singing and heavy drums to give him his big moment, Myles is a great singer but I prefer less lyrics in songs I guess. Monster Truck were just as good as I knew they'd be too! Now all I want is to see The Sword and Scorpion Child in Ireland, and of course my Slane ticket Hotel is booked and all!
