GUITAR hero Slash made one request when he signed on to a trip to Melbourne to launch rebranded cable TV channel MTV Classic.
He wanted Rose Tattoo frontman Angry Anderson to join him on stage.

"That was one of the provisos of him agreeing to come out apparently," Anderson told music reporter Cameron Adams.

"He wants to catch up, we haven't seen one another in quite a few years, but we connected on a deep and dare I say spiritual level beyond just music."

Slash sent a video message when Anderson was on This Is Your Life, his previous band Guns N'Roses also covered Rose Tattoo's Nice Boys.

He and Angry will perform that track at the MTV Classic launch - an invite-only affair at the Palace Theatre on April 28 that airs on the network on May 1 at 5pm.

"Slash could probably play up to half a dozen Tatts songs which Gunners did back in the day," Anderson said.

It's not the first time they've performed together; Slash stayed in Australia after Guns N'Roses 1993 tour - where Rose Tattoo supported them - jumping on stage at Tatts club shows in Melbourne.

Continuing his enthusiasm for Australian bands, Slash recruited Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale to sing on his solo album Slash, which debuted at No.3 this week.
