| Aside
from the actual game, every year football fans and couch potatoes alike
look forward to the funny commercials and extravagant halftime show
during the Super Bowl. This year’s 2011 game with the Steelers
vs. the Packers was no exception, and in fact was the most watched TV
program in television history – with more than 106 million people
tuning in. Everybody’s talking about this year’s show, which
featured the Black Eyed Peas. It was eccentric to say the least, with
hundreds of “Tron inspired” neon-futuristic costumed dancers
doing their synchronized dances to their songs. Seemed like pretty standard
stuff until Slash and his signature Crybaby made a surprise appearance,
popping up from under the stage to play “Sweet Child O’
Mine” with Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie on lead vocals*.Slash’s
performance was awesome, but the “Sweet Child O’ Mine”
solo wouldn’t be complete with out some of his kickass wah mastery.
Most of us already know that Slash uses his signature Crybaby wah for
this part of the iconic song, but for you youngsters out there who don’t,
let me enlighten you.
Slash teamed up
with Dunlop to design the Slash wah (pictured) – having always
had a wah as part of his recording and live rigs. The SW-95 Slash wah
was designed to give the sweep and tone that is signature to Slash’s
legendary wah-wah tone. As an added bonus, the wah is equipped with
a distortion circuit the gives him added sustain.
