VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash has revealed the lineup of musicians who will join him for his all-star concert in Las Vegas on October 2. The concert, billed "Slash & Friends", celebrates the 20th anniversary of Las Vegas hotel, casino and white tiger playground the Mirage.

According to Slash, the "house band" for the Mirage gig will be as follows:

* Tommy Clufetos (ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER, TED NUGENT) - Drums
* Johnny Griparic (SLASH'S SNAKEPIT) - Bass
* Ted "Zig Zag" Andreadis (GUNS N' ROSES) - Keyboards
* John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON) - Guitar
* Slash - Guitar
* Franky Perez (SCARS ON BROADWAY) - Vocals

Slash's special guests that night are "more or less in this order":

* Rocco Deluca (THE BURDEN)
* Nicole Scherzinger (PUSSYCAT DOLLS)
* Courtney Love (HOLE)
* Rick Nielsen (CHEAP TRICK)
* Robin Zander (CHEAP TRICK)
* Joe Perry (AEROSMITH)

Slash says, "Matt Sorum [VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES] is [also] jamming a couple songs, plus there will be some other surprises. I also just got confirmation that the JOE PERRY PROJECT is playing as well, [so] it promises to be a bitchin' evening."

Slash left GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s, forming SLASH'S SNAKEPIT before later assembling VELVET REVOLVER with several other ex-members of GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland (who was dismissed in April 2008).
