Slither (Live at The Roxy, 25/9/14)
[Spoken Word: Myles Kennedy & Todd Kerns]
Yeah!
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise
On the electric guitar, a good man, Mr. Frank Sidoris
Another fantastic man, human being, on the vocals and the bass
Make some noise for Mr. Todd "Dammit" Kerns
Ladies and gentlemen, the amazing Brent Fitz on the drums
The reason we're all here
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to give it up
On the electric guitar, for the one and only, Slash
Now you have to hold it
Normally, there's a microphone stand and Myles can walk away, but now
He's fucked
He's gonna stand here and hold the microphone while I introduce him
Should I embarrass the fuck out of 'im or what?
I think he's embarrassed enough as it is
This right here, holding the microphone
Is the one and only Mr. Myles motherfuckin' Kennedy
Real quick, I just wanted to say, the first gig
That this band ever did, which was five years ago
Was right here, so we've come full circle, two records later
That just dawned on me
So I'm glad you all could make it down
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 1]
When you look, you see right through me
Cut the rope, I fell to my knees
Born and broken every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you run to me
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind
[Chorus]
Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, with me
[Post-Chorus]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 2]
When you seek me, you'll destroy me
Rape my mind and smell the poppies
Born and bloodied every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you might linger
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind
[Chorus]
Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you'll see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time, with me
[Spoken Word]
I wanna hear you scream!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
When you look, you see right through me
Cut the rope, I fell to my knees
Born and bloodied
Every single time
[Chorus]
Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time, with me
[Outro]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Spoken Word: Myles Kennedy]
Hollywood, thank you so much
You guys have been great
Thanks for comin' out
[Instrumental Outro]
[Spoken Word: Slash]
You guys
Thank you so much, man
Fuckin'– Great fuckin' crowd, man
Makes us feel really at home, thank you
We'll see you around
Well, gotta fuckin' dedicate this to somethin', so
Since we're in L.A. and fuckin' playin' here at the Roxy at one of my fuckin'
Venues I was raised at
We'll call this one for you guys
This is "Paradise City"
