The thing about Ben Nevis is that it's not a fun climb, it's not scenic on the way up either but if you get a clear day you can see right across the Trossachs and sometimes right over to Ireland from the summit so you're really relying on the views at the top to make it worth it.

On this particular day it was wet, cold, windy and when we got to the top we couldn't see 5 foot in front of us.

I doubt I'll be doing that one again.

shame you didnt get the view ..... at least you made it up there...

Some photos of me tooling around with my knew bass over the past few days. Been playing a wee bit of Green Day and Weezer tunes as I'm learning.

Miles Kennedy is a really good singer and a really smart choice to sing all of Slash's solo stuff, and he nailed all of the Velevet Revolver songs and did a more than decent job on the GNR material.

Great pics. How good was Slash?

Slash was great. I've never really seen anyone in an intimate venue before... but this was 1300 people so it was really close and it seamed everyone sang along louder to songs sweet child of mine and Civil War louder than they would at an arena concert. I really enjoyed it - Slash and Miles joked with the audience and it was really, really cool... he also said that he was playing with the best band he has ever been with and it seamed like he meant it. Lots of chemistry on stage and it was pretty cheap tickets... I payed $40 for my floor tickets.

The setlist was so:

1. Ghost
2. Mean Bone (Slash's Snakepit cover)
3. Night Train (Guns N' Roses cover)
4. Sucker Train Blues (Velvet Revolver cover)
5. Back From Cali
6. Civil War (Guns N' Roses cover)
7. Rocket Queen (Guns N' Roses cover)
8. Do It For The Kids (Velvet Revolver cover)
9. Doctor Alibi
10. Watch This
11. Dirty Little Thing (Velvet Revolver cover)
12. Starlight
13. Just Like Anything (Slash's Snakepit cover)
14. Solo/Godfather Theme
15. Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns N' Roses cover)
16. Rise Today (Alter Bridge cover)
17. Slither (Velvet Revolver cover)

Encore-
18. By The Sword
19. My Michelle (Guns N' Roses cover)
20. Paradise City (Guns N' Roses cover)

Ghost was a really good opener and I liked the choice of Mean Bone as the second song, really quickend the pace. The Slash Godfather theme solo was EPIC and the lead up into sweet child of mine was the icing on the cake. The only song that really didn't belong was the Alter Bridge song... I know Miles is the lead singer of Alter Bridge, but quite honestly after a killer guitar solo and Sweet Child of mine it just flattened the crowd. Luckily Slither picked it right back up...

Sounds like an amazing gig. Great set list too. Interesting that the Alter Bridge song didn't go off well, I would have thought it would have. What was Dirty Little Thing like? Would loved to have heard Paradise City too.

Dirty Little Thing was great as well. I love velvet revolver, so I was happy to see 4 of their songs make the setlist. I've always thought Slither was a decent song, but after seing it live I've liked it so much more. Paradise City was epic. Crowd went nuts for it and sang every word.
