Axl Rose caused quite a stir in Buenos Aires during Guns N’ Roses’ October 18th show. A technical glitch sparked a reaction reminiscent of the fiery 1990s-era Axl—when his on-stage walk-offs and chaos made headlines around the world.
But the real story for rock fans was spotted right next to him: Slash appeared to be sporting a shirt from a band beloved by RATT loyalists everywhere—Stephen Pearcy’s original group, Mickey Ratt (circa 1977-1981).
Born in Stephen’s San Diego garage, Mickey Ratt rocked the Southern California club circuit from 1977 to 1981 before evolving into the Sunset Strip powerhouse the world would soon know as RATT.
It’s great to see Slash showing love for the roots of the Sunset Strip—where he and his fellow legends helped carve a path that inspired countless bands to follow.
Keep RATT'n and Roll'n Slash! 🤘
