In the clip, a fan lurches towards Slash from the side of the stage but is immediately taken down by security. Stoic as ever, Slash goes on with his guitar solo as though nothing happened.
Slash later wrote about the incident on his Facebook page. "Rowdy crowd for sure. But amazing! The guy who nailed me didn't take me down but he busted my poor [guitar]. Ah well, it was a kick ass rock [show]."
