Last Friday, Slash performed a series of covers to mark the re-opening of the iconic Hard Hat Lounge bar in Las Vegas.

Accompanying the Guns N' Roses axe-slinger on stage were Apocalyptica's Franky Perez, The Offspring's Todd Morse and Brent Fitz and Frank Sidoris of Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators.

Sidoris, who is also a member of Mammoth WVH, owns the bar, and closed it earlier this year for renovations.

To celebrate its finished refurb, Sidoris' supergroup of musician pals soundtracked the evening with a host of legendary hits, such as Guns N' Roses' It's So Easy, Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, Black Sabbath's War Pigs, AC/DC's Highway To Hell, Lenny Kravitz's Always On The Run and The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter.

Speaking of the relaunch last month, Sidoris said: "We are thrilled to re-re-open with a refresh under the hood. We kept the 1960s charm without the grime, and for the first time in 60 years, Hard Hat has new plumbing, floors, and more importantly, a new, fresh scent! We cannot wait to reopen our doors and have the community back in to enjoy."
