Slash’s irrelevant performance at the NFL Game Final in Sydney last night would be the talking point of today if Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott wasn’t there as well.
Abbott, the most despised Prime Minister of all-time in Australia, was given an instant opinion poll from 83,833 footy fans who booed when he was introduced by MC Ken Sutcliffe at the match.
Abbott gave the 80,000 plus fans a reason to forget the Slash performance earlier at the game.
Early Slash’s performance had people asked the simple question “why?’. The placement of Slash playing guitar to a pre-recorded music track gave credibility to Gene Simmons’ recent statement that ‘Rock is dead’. Here we had one of the greatest guitarists of our time making a mockery of his own heritage.
Slash performed a “product placement” advertisement for his new album and tagged it off with a ringtone version of his classic Guns ‘n’ Roses piece ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’.
He could have been the most unnecessary guest at the match. Thank God he had the most unpopular Prime Minister in Australia’s history to save him from the fate.
