Slash and, uh, Mrs. Slash? (Photo by Scott Harrison)

In these times of global warming, energy concerns and environmental uncertainty, there’s only one man qualified to step in and get something done. There’s only one man who can salve the wounds of a troubled planet. There’s only one man who can rock hard enough to make the flowers bloom again and the rainforests grow back. That’s right: Saul Hudson.

Slash, people. Slash.

The top-hatted half of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ twin-guitar assault steps up Saturday at Red Rock Casino’s pool Saturday night to launch the Bottle Rock It poolside concert series that will run every Saturday through Sept. 27. Along with the show is an organic wine tasting event to benefit The Springs Preserve. Slash and booze. It’s like they’re custom tailoring events just for us.

Tickets are $30 at the door, and the wine tasting is another $20, but, for a limited time, if you act right now, the first 10 e-mailers to tips-at-dailyfiasco.com will get their very own specially numbered collector’s edition entrance into the event! Don’t wait! We guarantee that tickets will run out sometime before Chinese Democracy is released.

Joining Slash and his Blues Ball Band will be Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell, drummer Jason Bonham and Royston Langdon of Spacehog. Now go ahead and try not to have “In the Meantime” stuck in your head all day. We dare you.

Next week’s show features Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros fame. Doors to the shows are at 7 p.m., and the concert starts at 9 p.m.
