Aussie rock veteran Angry Anderson will join Slash on stage at the launch of new pay TV music channel MTV Classic. The duo will perform the Rose Tattoo song “Nice Boys,” a song the Gunners covered way back in 1988.
“Angry and I go way back to when GNR toured with Rose Tattoo in Australia back in 1992 – and had some great times – so when MTV asked me who I wanted to perform with at the launch of MTV Classic, I immediately thought of Angry,” Slash said in a statement. “I’m really looking forward to playing ‘Nice Boys’ with him at this historic event.”
“It’s a beautiful thing when you get an opportunity to jam with an artist who has made such a global impact on rock music in your home town,” added Angry. “I have a lot of time for Slash and MTV Classic: The Launch will see us re-creating some of those great music moments from the 90s.”
The one-of pairing is likely to be a highlight of the event which will take place at Melbourne’s Palace Theatre on April 28. If you want to be there, make sure you listen to the Triple M network and Mix 94.5 in Perth. Tickets will also be given away through the MTV Classic website.
If you’re not lucky enough to win your way in you can still tune in to the show on MTV Classic at 5 pm on May 1. This is sure to be one hell of a performance!
