Guns N Roses star Slash explores Malahide Castle before Dublin concert

Guns N Roses lead guitarist Slash has been making the most of his time in Dublin ahead of the band's gig at Marlay Park.

The rock star was exploring Malahide Castle and Gardens in north County Dublin with his girlfriend Meegan Hodges, who posted a snap of the pair together in front of the historical Dublin castle. Meegan also posted a snap to her Instagram at the market in Herbert Park which she says she found during her walks around Dublin.

Guns N Roses play Dublin's Marlay Park on Tuesday, June 28 and will bring fans some of their best hits during the concert. Songs that are on the rumoured setlist include Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, November Rain as well as famous covers such as Live and Let Die and Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Slash also popped into local guitar shop Some Neck Guitars with his girlfriend Meegan.

Taking to Instagram, Some Neck Guitars wrote: "It’s not every day that you have a living legend walk through your shop doors, and that’s exactly what happened today.

"It was an absolute joy to have Slash in the shop this afternoon ahead of the Guns N’Roses show tomorrow night, picking up a killer GFI Pedalsteel. A true gentleman. We can’t wait for the show tomorrow, thanks again for dropping in!"
