Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash announced Tuesday he’ll release a live album and concert film, Slash: Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival. The iconic ’90s rocker teased the new live album and concert film by releasing the album’s first video, a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well.”
The album and concert footage were recorded in July 2024 at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, during Slash’s S.E.R.P.E.N.T. (Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance) tour.

With the announcement came the first video from the album, an epic cover of “Oh Well.” The cover of the Peter Green-era hit features Slash and his Blues Hall band, which includes Teddy “ZigZag” Andreadis on keyboards, harmonica, and vocals; Tash Neal on rhythm guitar and vocals; Johnny Griparic on bass and backing vocals; and drummer Michael Jerome.
“The blues has always functioned as a release for people that are having hard times – both the people playing it and the people listening to it. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people are having a hard time these days,” Slash told Classic Rock Magazine last year.

Slash’s Influence Beyond Guns N’ Roses
When Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction was released in 1987, mainstream rock music was mostly dominated by pop-heavy sounds. Slash’s aggressive, grittier tone—drawing on influences from the blues—added an authentic edge that came to define early ’90s rock.
Guns N’ Roses’ sound was as defined by Slash’s guitar work as it was by lead singer Axl Rose’s high-pitched screams. Slash continues to be a force in mainstream rock, recently joining The Black Crowes onstage for the FireAid concert in Los Angeles, as well as performing with ’70s icon John Fogerty the same evening.
Rockers from Creed’s Mark Tremonti to Myles Kennedy of Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators have acknowledged Slash’s influence. With his emotional soloing and heavy riffs, many of today’s most celebrated guitarists count the Guns N’ Roses guitarist as their inspiration for picking up the guitar.
