Slash Rocks With The Black Eyed Peas At Rose Bowl In Pasadena, CA

Black Eyed Peas opening for U2's "360 Degrees" World Tour at the Rose Bowl In Pasadena, CA on Sunday, October 25.

excerpt from the Los Angeles Times U2 live show review reported by Ann Powers

Opening the show, the Black Eyed Peas went for something more tried and true, but also powerful: a party vibe celebrating the home team. Performing its many hits in an exuberant set, the Peas radiated Southern California pride. Tabu draped himself in Mexican and American flags; will.i.am name-checked neighborhoods and towns from Hollywood to East L.A. to La Crescenta.

The set's spirited climax came when Fergie took Axl Rose's part in a rough and true-blooded cover of the Guns N' Roses classic "Sweet Child o' Mine," with Slash himself on guitar. If U2 aimed for universals, the Black Eyed Peas reminded us that particulars have their uses too. Especially when those particulars are as diverse as the elements that make up the Southland.
