Photos, Set List and Video


Slash paid a go to to Los Angeles’ famed Amoeba Music on Wednesday to play a stripped-down acoustic set in help of his new blues covers album, Orgy of the Damned.

You can see UCR’s exclusive images from the occasion, watch footage of the overall performance and see the set list beneath.

Accompanied by singer/guitarist Tash Neal and singer/keyboardist Teddy Andreadis, Slash performed a nine-song set that drew largely from Orgy of the Damned. Neal and Andreadis traded vocals on covers of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Killing Floor,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well,” Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker” and a lot more. At the finish of the overall performance, Slash said it was the “first Blues Ball gig since nineteen ninety-fuckin’-nine.” (He was close: According to setlist.fm, the group, which also featured Andreadis, played its final show in January 1998.)

Orgy of the Damned attributes souped-up renditions of various blues staples, with diverse guests vocalists on every track including Brian Johnson, Billy Gibbons, Chris Robinson, Iggy Pop, Paul Rodgers and a lot more.

“The most important thing about it was just having fun with it,” Slash told UCR about generating the album. “When we’re playing the songs through, [we’re] not trying to emulate them. … But you keep the integrity of the main throughline and make sure that the riff, melody and all of that stuff stay intact. So you’re not trying to have too much artistic license and it’s not too self-indulgent. You want to make sure that you’re respecting the original to some extent.”
