According to NME.com, Slash teamed up with Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE's Tom Morello and LINKIN PARK's Chester Bennington for a special benefit concert in Los Angeles last night (November 22).
The ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist joined forces with a host of guest stars at the LAYN (Los Angeles Youth Network) charity show at the Avalon to help raise funds for the homeless.
He was joined by his former GN'R bandmates Duff McKagan and Steven Adler, plus Bennington, who fronted their rendition of "Paradise City" on the night (see video below).
The Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization based on helping over 10,000 homeless adolescents become self-sufficient by providing shelter, food, and counseling for the abused, neglected, and abandoned.
In a recent interview with ARTISTdirect.com, Slash stated about his involvement with LAYN Rocks!, "My wife, Perla, and I support LAYN. She's actually on the board. We're trying to raise money to keep it going, and we've been doing these 'Slash & Friends' gigs recently. Basically, we get a bunch of people together and put on a concert. Perla had asked me if I'd be interested in doing it to support LAYN, and I was fully into it! This will actually be the first 'Slash & Friends' gig I've done in Los Angeles. Basically, I wanted to put together something that would be a really big blowout, and that's what we've done! We've got all these different artists, and it should be an amazing event."
