Michael Monroe has been invited to support Slash at Hartwall Arena on Tuesday, February 19th. After a long and respectable career Michael Monroe embodies the energy of rock and roll with his electric and passionate performances. Slash, himself has admitted to being a Michael Monroe fan: “Michael Monroe is one of THE great rock and roll front-men. He’s also a good man and a good friend.”
One of the most important rock icons, Slash earned his place as one of history’s greatest guitar heroes 25 years ago on the Guns’n'Roses debut “Appetite For Destruction”. One of Guns’n'Roses’ idols was Hanoi Rocks with Michael Monroe as their leading figure before his solo career. The last time Slash played in Finland was in Ruisrock 2010 where Michael Monroe also appeared as a guest star during his set. Michael Monroe is currectly finishing a new album, due to be released in the spring. In addition to Monroe his band includes bassist Sami Yaffa, guitarists Steve Conte and Dregen and drummer Karl Rockfist.

We are deeply sorry that we have to cancel our performance at Eurosonic this year. We were very much looking forward to it! But our reason for cancellation is more than positive. Mini Dregen is on his way to this world a bit earlier than planned and Papa Dregen has the most important job in the world, to welcome a mini version of him and show him his first moves! Always ahead of time like his dad!
Everything is well in Stocklahoma and hopefully we´ll see you on tour in Holland very soon again with double D´s kicking some major ass!!
That’s right folks – we are in Stockholm recording our new killer album! As of today we have bass and drums on 14 songs, guitars on 3 songs and lead vocals on 2 songs – and it is SLAMMIN’!!! More later….
Cheers! ~ Steve
