There
was a meeting of rock legends at the Golden Gods Awards, as Alice
Cooper joined Slash for a spirited rendition of Cooper’s
classic, ‘School’s Out.’ (lower video).
Slash
and his band began their set with ‘Nothing to Say’ and ‘Back to
Cali’ from his 2010 self-titled debut. They then went into their
current single, ‘You’re a Lie,’ from ‘Apocalyptic Love.’
But unlike the other bands on the night, they didn’t leave the
stage after their third song, an indication that something big was
about to happen.
After
asking for “11 seconds of noise” in memory of the late Jim
Marshall, Slash introduced Cooper as “a good, dear friend of mine
for a lot of fucking years” and “one of the great rock n’ roll
icons.” We presume their friendship is based on their shared
love of great rock music and top hats.
Cooper
came out to rapturous applause wearing a “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
leather jacket and carrying a riding crop. Although Cooper’s voice
was ragged, he still had plenty of energy. Slash threw out some
typically blistering solos as the crowd captured it all on their
smartphones.
The
entire Golden Gods Awards show can be streamed on the
show’s Facebook page.
