Tune-in to MTV Classic on channel 810 @ 5pm (AEST) for 'MTV Classic: The Launch'.
In just a few days, MTV is flicking the switch on it’s brand new 24-hour music channel MTV Classic, and to celebrate, MTV have acquired the hottest rock royalty around to perform at ’MTV Classic: The Launch’, kicking off tonight (Wednesday, April 28, 2010) at the Melbourne’s Palace Theatre!
Yesterday rock legend Slash, appearing in his trademark black top hat, leather pants and sunnies, along with Molly Meldrum and iconic local rocker Angry Anderson got together to talk about the event. Molly, who was sporting a bootleg Slash Tee he bought in Bangkok, joked around with the rockers and shared stories about the early days.
“I remember one time I interviewed you in Pheonix, it was so hot that day we almost did it in the pool” said Molly. Slash quickly explained that by “it” he meant the interview.
After giving Andrew Stockdale the honour of being “the most rock and roll among us” because he missed his early morning flight, Slash then confirmed that he and his band will be back in Australia in August to play dates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, which will be music to hardcore fans’ ears who missed out on tickets to tonight’s event.
The Launch, which is officially Slash’s band’s second show “will be absolutely killer, and we're not just saying that.”
As well as Andrew and Slash playing their track from Slash’s new album, ’MTV Classic: The Launch’ will see Slash and Angry reunite for the first time in 18 years to perform iconic Rose Tattoo track 'Nice Boys' which was covered by Guns N’ Roses in 1988.
Angry said: “It's a great choice on MTV's part that they picked a real rock n' roll player as opposed to a lot of the posers and 'would-bes-if-they-could-bes-and-they-never-will-bes-coz-they-can't'!”
The event will take place at the Palace Theatre, 20-30 Bourke Street, Melbourne on Wednesday 28 April 2010. The Red Carpet will commence at 6:30pm and the show will begin at 8:00pm.
The MTV Classic: The Launch will kick off on MTV Classic as the channel goes live on May 1, 2010 at 5pm (AEST). MTV Classic is available on Channel 810 on Foxtel and Austar.
