Slash Guitar Solo - Michael Jackson's MTV Music Awards (1995)

Saul Hudson (born July 23, 1965), better known as Slash, is a British-American musician who is best known as the lead guitarist of the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he achieved worldwide success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Slash has received critical acclaim and is considered one of the greatest guitarists in history.

Slash also joined Jackson on several occasions on stage, most notably at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards playing with Jackson on "Black or White" (and the introduction of "Billie Jean").

How long can a guitar solo be?

Slash: yes

1990s really was the peak of humanity all things considered. May not have been the most technologically advanced time, but the middle class had a good chance to own a home in a good neighborhood and things were affordable, music was carried by passionate musicians, technology shaped our lives but didn't hijack it either, no global crisis going on

That transition into billie Jean will forever give me goosebumps

[chicagowest]

Slash solo was fire so Mike had to come back on stage like a God to get him off stage

[jesusisking]

Slash when he did that segway into billie jean was 🔥.

[Theremustbemorelight]

The FACT that him playing too long is BIT that they decided on together and have done more than once- brings joy and elation to my heart 🤩😭
MJ was soooo fun and creative! And Slash is legend! This is beautiful (look for the other concert)🥹🥹😂😂

BEST PERFORMANCE IN MUSIC HISTORY, MICHAEL FT SLASH. BRUTALIDAD MAXIMA

[yolanda]

Slash that guitar riff is insane !!! ❤❤❤

[nataliamisixroni]

I had melted the history DVD containing this performance and I was thinking that Billie Jean bass intro is perfect as is, then Slash played his solo on top of that intro and turned into another perfect version of the song. This is classical music here my friends. Enjoy!

[sudharsanpaskaran]

Love you Michael.... Slash, your solo should have been longer ! Haha, great performance ! 💯💯💯

[DerpSadge]

I felt every bit of where slash was going with it. 😂😂

[zkq]

slash is wild few months ago I could see a fraction of his solo power on SATC show

[gibby]

1:10 I don’t know if this is intentional but the way they both hit the same exact note here is incredible!!!!

[LukiferXX]

I remember watching this on television as it happened.

[shellybrown]

slash man of the moment 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂I came here to watch him 🤧🤧😅😅😅🇿🇲

[jhacking]

And just like that Michael was a back up dancer 🤣

[ericstewert]

I remember this. A lot of people thought it was set up but/went way past his time on his solo. That's why the stage manager came out. It was real.

"born July 23"
