Slash has announced his new live album and concert film will be released on 7 November via earMUSIC. Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival was recorded on 17 July 2024 at the Mission Ballroom in Colorado, and the set brought his love of the blues and his musical roots to the fore. S.E.R.P.E.N.T. stands for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality, N’ Tolerance.
Performing as Slash’s Blues Ball, the band features Slash on lead and rhythm guitar, joined by longtime collaborator Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis (keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Tash Neal (rhythm guitar, vocals), Johnny Griparic (bass, backing vocals), and Michael Jerome (drums).

The first single, Oh Well (Live), has been released and is a fiery live version of the Fleetwood Mac classic. Channelling Peter Green’s blues roots while unleashing his own signature firepower, Slash delivers a performance that feels both timeless and fiercely alive.
The set includes smouldering takes on Parchman Farm Blues, Killing Floor, Born Under a Bad Sign, Oh Well, Big Legged Woman, and Key to the Highway, followed by the slow-burn groove of Papa Was a Rolling Stone, the smoky soul of Stormy Monday, and the gritty punch of The Pusher.
Slash also debuts a brand-new original, Metal Chestnut, before diving into Cross Road Blues and a fiery rendition of Stone Free. The encore features It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry and a blistering closer with Shake Your Money Maker.
