Sound ON! I don’t remember playing this one but have to say I think we nailed it. Happy Sunday, y’all!
The first official performance of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators 2012. Our first performance with @franksidoris completing the lineup. I always loved this song. I still have that @hagstrom_guitars Viking bass. I love it. I love hollow bodies. During this swing through LA we shot the music video for You’re A Lie which was epic. This appearance was at @guitarcenter in Hollywood. Dream location. I hope you are having an amazing week. I dragged the wife for a quick Vegas to LA to Vegas turnaround yesterday. Adventures adventures adventures. The weekend is on its way. I’m getting ready for the @heroesandmonstersband tour. No days off! Happy Thursday! #smkc #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksidoris #snakepit #beggars #acoustic #guitarcenter #hollywood #losangeles #la #california #cali #usa #sunsetblvd #sunsetboulevard #2012 #12yearsago #hagstrom #hagstromguitars
SMKC on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon 2012. This was a trip. It had been a dream of mine to get to do something/anything at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Saturday Night Live, Late Night with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien had all been shot there plus a lot more. Keep in mind we had only just completed the We’re All Gonna Die Tour 2010/2011 when it had been proposed to record an album with the lineup assembled to support Slash’s 2010 solo album. The proposed album went on to be Apocalyptic Love. We grabbed a young kid named Frank Sidoris and went to New York to celebrate the release of the album and found ourselves on Jimmy Fallon’s stage. Not long after Jimmy would move on to host the Tonight Show. I remember Quest Love had us sign some drumsticks. I was like, “Quest wants me to sign these?” I assumed he meant Slash but he had us all sign. I’m such a fan of Quest Love and the Roots. Wild times. Now it’s 12 years later and a new album is being cooked up. Life is truly like a box of chocolates. I heard that somewhere… Have yourself an amazing little Wednesday. I know it’s mid week but the weekend is right around the corner! #smkc #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksidoris #jimmyfallon #latenight #newyorkcity#newyork #30rock #2012
Bucket hat, Pearl Jam shirt and a Fender P named Dee Dee. Can’t get this riff out of my head. Sonixomnia by my friends @blacksonicpearlsofficial When they asked me to jam with them last weekend in the Czech Republic this is one of the songs I played with them. I don’t usually play way up there on the dusty end of the bass but that riff is a killer. Has inspired me to come up with more bass riffage. Go check the song out. It’s a monster. TONIGHT I’m at @hrcvegasstrip with the @rock_vault gang. Come say HI! #bass #bassguitar #bassriff #riff #riffs #fenderprecision #fenderprecisionbass
One year ago starting at 5:30am til 7:20am all these monkeys were born in our house and it’s never been anything but super lively ever since. I highly recommend taking on such a life changing experience. Mama and babies all have happy, comfortable lives which would have otherwise been out on the street. I can’t imagine such an existence for such a well fed and beloved brood. Happy Birthday, babies!
Good guys wear black. March 2nd 2024 in Osaka, Japan with my homeboy @officialmyleskennedy who has an amazing new single out with a solo album to follow. I love watching the homies split off and do amazing things. The weekend is HERE! I hope yours is amazing. Tonight I’m at @hrcvegasstrip with the @rock_vault fam one last time before a week off. I haven’t had a week off in a long time so we are gonna make the most of it. Happy Saturday! #smkc #myleskennedy #osaka #japan #2024
Newcastle, UK singing some GNR with @nike Air Jordans on. I don’t know if I’ll ever forget the words to Don’t Damn Me. It took some serious work learning them in the first place. Enjoying some downtime. Going to see the new Mad Max @furiosamovie today. Beyond that it’s an ‘anything can happen’ day. My favorite kinda days. I hope your day is an exciting one. Happy Tuesday! #smkc #newcastle #uk #england #gnr #gunsnroses #dontdamnme #airjordans #nike
Just 5 more minutes, mama… My days off are never really days off. I’m already going over @heroesandmonstersband music for the summer tour plus @toquerocks is right behind that. Last night @rock_vault Tomorrow night @rock_vault TODAY- sleeping in til 7:30am with my buddy StrawBarry. That’s as late as they let me sleep today. Listening to Seinfeld or Arrested Development on Netflix. Those are my go to comfort shows for that ‘just a few more minutes’ sleep. Shows I’ve seen so many times I’m not invested in what’s next. Plus they give me happy thoughts. New York Dolls shirt as pajamas. StrawBarry is the biggest baby of the bunch. And there is a bunch here. It’s Friday and the weekend is pretty much here. Take a big ol’ bite out of it! Happy Friday #cat #cats #catlife #cats_of_instagram #catsofinstagram Photo by Mama @moniquekerns
Thumbs up from the SMKC Living The Dream tour 5 or 6 years ago now. Time keeps on flying along. I hope this new week finds you well. It’s Monday. The beginning of my first week off in I don’t know how long. Planning to make it a productive one in its own way. Here’s to making it a good one. Happy Monday! #smkc #livingthedream Photo by @tako217
Me and the big DAWG rockin’ out somewhere. I’m on route to the Czech Republic to rock with my @blacksonicpearlsofficial homies @metalfest.cz May 31st! Hope to see some familiar faces. I’ll certainly be seeing fellow Vegas alumni @5fdp like the great @5fdpchriskael and @hoogieontheroad Have an amazing Thursday wherever YOU are! #slash #smkc
Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all my fellow daddios out there. It’s our first Father’s Day without our patriarch. We celebrate in his honor. He is greatly missed. Celebrating Father’s Day today and always. Big love, daddios

Sometimes you gotta go all the way to the Czech Republic to see one of your Vegas homies. Hangin’ with Brother @5fdpchriskael in Plzen, Czech Republic @metalfest.cz I jammed with my homies @blacksonicpearlsofficial in the pouring rain and had a blast. The mighty @5fdp headlining tonight. Thank you for being so good to me, my Czech brothers and sisters. I was just recently in Brno, Czech Republic with SMKC. It’s good to be back. It’s been a whirlwind. I’ll be back in Vegas in the blink of an eye. I love playing the great outdoors rain or shine. Can’t wait to do it again. I hope you’re doing something fun today, too. Happy Friday. Make the weekend yours! #chriskael #fivefingerdeathpunch #5fdp #plzen #plzen #czechrepublic #czechrepublic🇨🇿 #czechrepublik #metalfest #metalfestival #friday

SMKC Berlin, Germany 2015. It was always super random when Welcome To The Jungle got thrown on my plate but I was always up for it. I’m still always up for it. TONIGHT I’m at @hrcvegasstrip with my @rock_vault homies. Come say hi! Happy Thursday! #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris #berlin #germany #europe #2015 #welcometothejungle #raidingtherockvault #lasvegas #thursday
My friend the incredibly talented @johndelaney40 created this version of the Todd Dammit Joker. I think it’s high time we had a long haired Joker. What does he care about haircuts lol. What an honor. If I were as talented as John my life would look totally different. I’d be making comic books. An artist in a whole other world. Someday I’ll write one. Superman was created 86 years ago yesterday. Ground zero of superheroes. TODAY I’ll be enjoying breakfast with Season 4 @theboystv Never grow up, brothers and sisters. TONIGHT I’m back on the world famous Las Vegas strip @hrcvegasstrip with all of my @rock_vault fam. Come say HI! I can’t stay off stage for long. It’s my happy place. The weekend is coming. Happy Thursday! #thejoker #joker #superheroes #comics
Perfect Crime somewhere in Europe. Someone will remind me where. We only did this one for the last week of the tour or something. Slash is always adventurous. TODAY heading home from Lake Tahoe where we shared in our friends’ union. What a beautiful place for a wedding. TOMORROW night I’ll be @hrcvegasstrip with the @rock_vault crew. Come say hi! It’s Monday! Have an amazing new week!
Great capture by my friend the very talented @garyenglandphotopops from my welcome home party @vampdvegas not long ago. Those Vamp’d shows are some of the most fun I ever have. Getting all of my friends together and just playing for no other reason than for fun. I often wonder what life will look like in 20 years from now. I think it’ll look pretty much the same as it is right now. Playing music and rockin’ adventures. Sounds good to me. The weekend is HERE! I hope yours is amazing. Tomorrow night I’m back @hrcvegasstrip with the @rock_vault gang. Come say HI! Happy Friday!
