When the Sunset Strip Music Festival kicked off on Thursday, August 26, the first order of business was to pay homage to the 2010 SSMF honouree Slash. The event was held at the House of Blues with radio veteran Jim Ladd as host. Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx, and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell were among the personalities who spoke at the special event. Whilst on stage, Slash remarked:
