FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET: Guitar Center has announced the next installment of Guitar Center Sessions: An evening of dialogue and insight with former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash. This exclusive event is powered by Real Deal Media, Gibson, and Ernie Ball and will be taking place on September 3 at the Guitar Center in Northridge, California beginning at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Following the "GC Sessions", Slash will be signing copies of the book "Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses & The Making Of Appetite For Destruction" which was written by Marc Canter, the owner/manager of the legendary rock 'n' roll hangout Canter's Deli in Los Angeles.

Designed to provide informative, provocative conversation and hands-on tutorials, "GC Sessions" serves as an incubator for musicians, providing them an opportunity to network with their peers in an intimate setting and gain career-fostering advice from their heroes.
