Prior to the Kings taking the ice tonight against the Atlanta Thrashers, the National Anthem will be performed by legendary rock guitarist Slash.
Below we take a look at five Kings players and their corresponding Slash songs.
Watch This - a song taken from his latest release (a cd simply titled Slash), could easily be a song title for an ode to Anze Kopitar. Long time Kings fans will tell you they just knew something was going to happen each time Dionne or Gretzky took a shift. The same can be said for Kopitar. He really came into his own last season and looks poised for another monster campaign this year. Just watch! With Slash at center on this song, his wingers were Dave Grohl and Duff McKagan. In the music world, that's a triple crown-esque line.
Doin' Fine - after Guns N' Roses toured to support their double disc Use Your Illusion, Slash put out the first of his solo records - It's Five O'Clock Somewhere. Truth be told, he wrote this while on tour with GnR and it could have been the follow-up record to Illusion. However, Axl Rose wanted no part of it. So, Slash hooked up with the highly underrated Eric Dover on vocals and put it out himself. Doin' Fine is the perfect song for Michal Handzus - also underrated and a gem of a player.
