At Slash's homecoming gig Viccy Hall, loads of Stokies singing along Just thought Id mention Slash isn't from Stoke at all he just lived here until he was 5. That’s an interesting one though. When people ask me where I’m from I say Stoke, even though I only lived here until I was 3. I was born in Stoke, so that’s where I consider myself from.

Block 19 will have finished that song and moved onto the next before the rest of the ground have got to the 1st chorus

Yes if I was born elsewhere but raised all my life in Stoke I suppose Id consider myself a dual national. But Slash didn't really do any of those things. I suppose hes a Londoner/Yank really.

It's defo interesting - I tend to give a too convoluted life story when folk ask me and can see them glass over but if they ask feel duty bound to give them the information they requested. Born in Aberdeen but from Stoke as went school/uni there but always supported Scotland is the truncated version.

Can't fault Slash on his local football knowledge

My folks were too 'grippet' to pay for public transport so the things I had to do to facilitate hitchhiking will live with me forever but on the plus side it meant going to a comprehensive in Stoke on Trent was a piece of piss mentally in comparison.

An after school detention must have played havoc...

Don't know about the 'at all' anyway, i think you'd be more pedantically correct to say "isn't technically from Stoke", rather than "isn't from Stoke at all". I mean, he lived in Stoke til he was 5, his earliest memories are of Stoke. The film of that night they made is called "Made in Stoke" lol Edit: at the end of that vid lagwafis posted, Slash says "so there's me Lemmy and Robbie Williams". Eggy I think you need break the news to him he isn't from Stoke at all!

He was brilliant though and in the lead up to it, he was definitely marketing it as a homecoming tour. I can remember an interview with him saying something like out of all the hardcore sessions he’s been on over the years, nobody could out drink his Stoke family 😂🙈 It was around the time of the FA Cup final too, so he started jumping all over Stoke then 😃 Regardless, doesn’t matter, still one of the finest guitarists ever.

As an aside, always liked Kennedy on that mic a LOT better. He actually SANG the notes.

Ah brilliant, bet that was a great night Yeah I noticed it was geared as a homecoming, that's why I took so much pains to respond to Eggy I guess lol 😅 But you're right, doesn't matter at all in grand scheme of things. Only thing that really matters here is he's a great guitarist and it was a brilliant gig!

Why? So we can still have three fit defenders for 90% of the season?

We should leave him well alone, talented but he'd expect way too much money and is too big a risk.

No, no, no, he won't have had a pre season, will take ages to get match fit, then break down after a few games.

Post by GeneralFaye on Aug 13, 2023 12:45:04 GMT
The fact he didn't take it upon himself to get a club sorted for pre season with his fitness record is a gigantic red flag for me.
