Saying goodbye to the best tour SMKC has ever done. 14 years later and better than ever. We got to say goodbye to Paris @zenith_paris with our good friend @wolfvanhalen who’s amazing band @mammothwvh have been with us on the entire Euro leg. Here we are saying goodbye and goodnight with some @acdc Thank you to everyone for sharing the greatest trip we’ve ever had. Hope to see you sooner than last time. There is a threat of new SMKC music on the horizon. We’ll see. Thank you so much for such a brilliant time. See you next time! #smkc #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksidoris #wolfgangvanhalen #wolfvanhalen #mammoth #mammothwvh #paris #france #zenith #acdc #highwaytohell
Last night in Munich was incredible. TONIGHT Luxembourg is gonna be rocked not only by SMKC but @mammothwvh and @pqueenmusic A mad evening of loud ass Rock N Roll! We have played Luxembourg many many times. Always an amazing time. I’m psyched. Let’s do this! #smkc #slash #franksidoris #munich #germany #luxembourg #europe
Last night Milano ROCKED! Tonight Zurich WILL rock! It’s been a hell of a tour. Only four shows left. Man, this time has flown. What a wild ride it has been. We are very excited to be back in Switzerland. Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg then France. Then that’s it! The ‘Rest Of The World’ completed. I’ll be back on couch soon enough. Gonna make the most of these final shows. Starting TONIGHT. Zurich needs to be ROCKED! #smkc #slash #milan #milano #italy #italia #zurich #switzerland #europe
It has been an absolute blast getting to watch @mammothwvh every night. What a blessing this has been. Some of the most talented ppl I know. Some of the coolest cats as well. Can’t believe the end of this tour is upon us. In a few hours The River Is Rising: The Rest Of The World Tour will be in the history books. Thank you Wolf, Garrett, John, Ronnie and, of course, Frank for being so awesome. They are about to take the stage and then SMKC rocks one last time before we all go out separate ways. See you soon, Paris! #mammoth #mammothwvh #paris #france
Another angle of the first time performance of Perfect Crime in beautiful Budapest, Hungary. Enjoying a day off in my home away from home Milano, Italy today. Very excited to be rocking Milano tomorrow night with SMKC and @mammothwvh It’s all starting to wind down now. It has been the best tour we’ve ever done in our 14 years together. Very much looking forward to the next 14 years. Hope you’re great wherever you are #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris #perfectcrime #budapest #hungary #milan #milano #italy #italia #europe
Berlin, Germany April 15th. Just shy of a month ago. Rockin’ the memory of the great Lemmy Kilmister on a nightly basis. Playing loud w yer best mates in a @mammothwvh shirt. Can’t beat it. It’s been good fun being home in @rock_vault Now my eye is staring into one week away from today- May 17th @vampdvegas for the TK & Friends show. Hope you can make it cuz it’s gonna be a blast. Today I start my homework for that show. See you Tuesday, Thursday with @rock_vault @hrcvegasstrip then Friday @vampdvegas then Saturday back @hrcvegasstrip with @rock_vault No rest-too wicked. I hope your week is going great. The weekend is HERE. Make it a good one. Happy Friday! #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris #lemmy #lemmykilmister #lemmykilmister♠️ #mammothwvh vid by @miriana_lestuzzi
Homeways is rightways now! After a glorious run through Latin America/Australia/Asia and Europe it’s time to put the USS SMKC in dry dock until our next adventure. It has been one hell of a run. A rollercoaster ride to say the least. The gigs and crowds have been the best of our 14 years of existence together (12 w Frank). Thank you so much for having our backs. Let it be said that we didn’t get to Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Spain and a whole lot more but we did our best to accommodate what we could. Now we all split off into our individual adventures. Slash has the blues, Myles is flying solo, Frank will be riding with Wolfie et al and Fitz and I will return to Canada this summer with @toquerocks but before that I’ll be in Vegas for my TK & friends show @vampdvegas May 17th. Come say HI! I’ll also be Raiding A Vault Of Rock while in Vegas @rock_vault Stay tuned for dates. And then in July I’ll be back in Italia with my @heroesandmonstersband homies! Wherever I am if I’m in your area come say HI! I’m grateful for all the adventures I get to experience. Life is never boring. Right now I’m grateful to have a home full of love I can’t wait to get home to. There was a time where home was just where my stuff was. Now it’s my favorite place in the world. Grateful for that too. Big love to all of you and looking forward to this next chapter. See you OUT THERE! #smkc #slash
Happy 9th Anniversary to the best thing that ever happened to me @moniquekerns Next year is the big 10! Wow! Thank you for making me the luckiest man alive!
It’s all looking in the rear view now. Always On The Run from the final show of the tour @zenith_paris People wonder why we are playing a Lenny Kravitz song. I’m always surprised people don’t remember Slash cowrote it. He’s in the video. Lenny even calls out “Slash!” before the solo. On the album. On the final recording. Seems pretty frozen in history to me. I saw Lenny play in 1991 supporting the Mama Said album and he rendered the band he was opening for invisible. It has been my honor to sing this song in recent years. This, Doctor Alibi and a handful of deep cut Use Your Illusion 1 songs. It has been my pleasure to serve. Hope to see you next time out. Don’t forget May 17th I’ll be playing with my friends in Las Vegas @vampdvegas That’s just over two weeks away! Sounds fun to me! There’s always something to look forward to! #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris #lennykravitz #alwaysontherun #paris #france #zenith
Just over an hour til @mammothwvh takes the stage then SMKC will be loud and proud in the great city of Milano, Italia! I couldn’t be more excited. We are very lucky to get to see such beautiful places. This video is from our last show in Budapest, Hungary which was amazing. Very much looking forward to Zurich, Switzerland tomorrow. These last five shows are gonna go by in the blink of an eye. Before I know it I’ll be on couch covered in cats. Gonna make the most of these shows. #smkc #slash #brentfitz #myleskennedy #franksidoris #budapest #hungary #milan #milano #italy #italia
The bridge for Wicked Stone somewhere on Earth just before Slash launches into the mother of all guitar solos. Slash is on the verge of his blues album and tour. Very exciting. I’m hoping I get to catch a show. In the meantime I’m rocking Vegas style. I’ll be one the world famous Las Vegas Strip tomorrow night @hrcvegasstrip with my @rock_vault homies. FRIDAY night I’ll be playing my welcome home show @vampdvegas with a whole lot of noisy friends. Lots of opportunities to come say hi to T-DAMM if you’re in Vegas. Still celebrating our anniversary with the Mrs today with dinner and a movie. Hoping your Monday is a good one and your new week is amazing. #smkc #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksidoris
Blowing the roof off the place. Last night in Zurich was 🔥🔥🔥 Tomorrow night we rock Munich. Back in Germany for show the fourth German show this tour. Only three shows left now. Munich, Luxembourg and Paris. As quick as it started its ending. With every goodbye there is a new hello. If everything goes well there’ll be new SMKC music on the not too distant horizon. That means we’ll be back hopefully sooner than later. In the meantime the rock continues #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris #perfectcrime #zurich #switzerland #munich #germany #europw
Let’s do this Luxembourg! @mammothwvh
Gotta tell ya I love being home. This ol’ alley cat can adjust to being a spoiled house cat pretty fast. Suddenly the simple act of going to your neighborhood grocery story is an exciting new prospect. Taking my Mother In Law for a proper spoiling today for watching over our brood while we was away. We’re calling it an early Mother’s Day as we won’t have her on the actual day. I hope you’re happy wherever you are. My plan is always make wherever you are the place to be. Not always successful but that’s the goal. Have an amazing weekend. Happy Saturday #smkc #france #paris #2024
As hard as it was to remember all of the lyrics to Don’t Damn Me I don’t know if I’ll ever forget them. That said let’s hope I remember the words to all the songs I have to sing TONIGHT at the Hard Rock @hrcvegasstrip with my Raiding The @rock_vault Fam! There’s part of me that feels like I should be on a beach somewhere sipping some girly, fruity beverage chillin’ after such an exhaustive tour. The BIGGER part of me canNOT wait to get back on stage. It’s not what I do It’s who I IS! After 4 months away I’m happy to be back in Las Vegas Entertainer mode. Let’s be honest it’s where I’m bound to end up. 75 years old singing all your favs from Jessie’s Girl to The Final Countdown and all points in between (these were just the first songs that popped into my head) in a tiny, unassuming restaurant somewhere in the heart of ‘old Vegas’. Sounds absolutely awesome to me. What am I gonna do? Putter around in the garden and wait to die? Well, I’ll do that as well but at night you’ll find me singing everything from ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ to ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ somewhere. (God help me lol) If you’re in Vegas come say HI! If you’re not-you should be. Every day is a party in Vegas. May 17th will be my welcome home party @vampdvegas with a bunch of friends ready to make a bunch of unholy racket just for YOU! Be there or be ⬜️. Happy Tuesday, brothers and sisters. Have an amazing week! #smkc #raidingtherockvault #lasvegas #nevada #vegas #hardrocklasvegas #slash Vid by @miriana_lestuzzi
The look of a happy dude home from great adventures and getting ready for great adventures on the horizon. In the meantime it’s all about family. Spent the day yesterday spoiling my Ma In Law with food and ballet. We try to get to the @smithcenterlv here in Vegas for a little ‘culture’ on occasion. It’s Sunday. Some of my favorite days are those that have absolutely nothing on the agenda. That is so rare. It’s an ‘anything can happen’ kinda day. I foresee food and playing with a houseful of monkeys. I’ll be back on stage soon enough. I’m feeling the need. Sooooooon! Happy Sunday. Hope you’re resting with those you care most for. Time to go. Gonna go call my Mom. Every Sunday! On the 7th day we rock #smkc #paris #france #europe.
No idea where this was but it was early days of rockin’ Don’t Damn Me. When Slash asks you to take on such a challenge you just say YES then figure it out. I took on that challenge 3 times this year. 1. Don’t Damn Me 2. Bad Apples 3. Perfect Crime. I was insane to agree but would be insane not to jump at the challenge. What a blast. TODAY we jump into rehearsals for Friday night @vampdvegas for the TK&Friends party. Hope you can make it. It’s gonna be a DOOZY! I’ll be @hrcvegasstrip with @rock_vault Thursday night so come on by for TWO nights of RAWK! Gonna be a HUGE weekend. I hope your week is going great. Mine is slammin. Happy Wednesday #smkc #slash #brentfitz #franksidoris
Thank you for another amazing night @vampdvegas I say it all the time but the biggest reason to put on these shows is to get my friends together all in one place at one time. Last night was one of the biggest nights to reconnect with a lot of friends I haven’t seen in years. Thank you so much for coming. @korie4rock & @dannykokerofficial thank you for always being so kind to us. Very much looking forward to next time. At this point…my birthday??? That’s not til December. Taking my Mrs to @pearljam tonight as an extended anniversary celebration. Life is good. I hope your weekend is amazing. Happy Saturday!
Another angle of the big farewell last night @zenith_paris with @wolfvanhalen “featuring” SMKC rockin’ some AC/DC. What a blast. A couple of more days in France then home to my babies. I hope you are great wherever you are #smkc #wolfvanhalen #wolfgangvanhalen #mammoth #mammothwvh #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksidoris #paris #france #zenith #highwaytohell
Rockin’ my Jordans in New Castle @nike @jumpman23 That was an epic show. God I love the UK. I know it’s because of my Anglo roots that I feel such an immediate connection every time I’m there. It’s also because of the history of music that I connect with there. That could be said of many places. I get to practice my broken Italian soon in Italy with my @heroesandmonstersband homies! But first TONIGHT I’m back on the world famous Las Vegas Strip @hrcvegasstrip with my @rock_vault homies then TOMORROW Friday night is the big welcome home party @vampdvegas with TK&Friends. We have worked up some surprises for you so it’s gonna be a blast. Saturday @pearljam (an extended anniversary celebration with the Mrs), Sunday/Monday @toquerocks rehearsals then back to @rock_vault Tuesday night! A full calendar means a full life. Let’s do this! The weekend is nigh! Happy Thursday! #smkc #newcastle #england #uk #jordans #jordan1 #michaeljordan #michaeljordan23 #nike
Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest Mama a boy could want. You sure are loved. Happy Mother’s Day to all those Mamas of every configuration out there. Have an amazing day ❤️❤️❤️

Not sure where this photo is from but I DO know it’s from the SMKC The River Is Rising The Rest Of The World Tour. Only a few more days til the big Welcome Home Party @vampdvegas with TK&Friends! I can’t believe it’s already almost here. Couldn’t be more excited. In the meantime TONIGHT I’ll be down on the World Famous Las Vegas Strip @hrcvegasstrip with my @rock_vault homies! Come on by and say HI! I hope this new is being good to you. Have an amazing day. Happy Tuesday!
Munich we are here and we are READY to RAWK! In less that two hours we will be on stage. I’m kicking like a mule to get to it! @mammothwvh will be on in about an hour. The festivities are under way! Zürich was incredible. Tonight promises to be amazing. Only Luxembourg and Paris are left. Can’t believe how fast the Euro chapter went. This vid is a good example of the Heaverly Brothers singing together. It’s an honor to sing with Myles on a nightly basis. Too Far Gone from the Living The Dream album. Gonna make the most of these next three shows. Hope you can keep up with us cuz we are comin’ in HOT! #smkc #slash #myleskennedy #brentfitz #franksisoris #munich #germany #zurich #switzerland #livingthedream #toofargone
