"And the other piece of news also concerns Mr Sorum. As you guys know, I will not be doing CFR this week, so Matt is going to hold down the fort - and is bringing in a rather special guest. His very own bandmate, Slash. And according to Matt, they will be tackling all the recent rumors surrounding VR, Axl, GnR etc HEAD ON!!! Expect some juicy chunks of gossip, and for once in this business, you can get your information "Straight From The Horses Mouth"!! Slash has been a guest at Camp Freddy shows many times, but has never appeared on CFR. So tune in to Indie 103.1FM this coming Saturday, from 6.00pm to 8.00pm PST or log on to www.indie1031.fm and hear Matt and Slash hosting Camp Freddy Radio. I will HAVE to call in from Hawaii now!!"

This should be good fucking radio. :yes:

good to hear same he couldnt of made it tonight then it wouls of been a full VR performance

Thanks Falcon, cant wait to hear this.

Same here, shaping up to be a big weekend in Slash/Axl/VR/GNR land for sure.

Slash speaks and Axl plays..

oh my, exciting news indeed!! dunno if I'll be up late enough to hear it live, but Navarro posts the podcasts of the shows a day or two after they aired on his site so I'll hear it for sure!

another thing, what IS Blackberry from T-Mobile? something like what Jack Bauer uses? ;D

The podcast will NOT be available on Dave's site, better listen when it happens.

oh fuck! why not? I'll have to stay up till like 5am..haha.

With Dave's touring commitments this summer with The Panic Channel and his work on Rock Star - Supernova he will have little if any involvement with Camp Freddy Radio for the summer, thus no plans for the podcasts being available through his site.

However, there's a slim chance Billy Morrison will be posting the shows on his site at some point.
No official word yet though.

When will it be in swedish time? Don't know what pacific time is  :-[ :'(

it's from 6-8pm LA time. so if my calculations is correct, me and you will hear it from 3-5am.. :-\

hope Morrison puts the podcasts on his site, I love CFR, but I the hours is ridiculous :hihi:

ok,thanks :)

Then it will be sunday morning for me,right?
I think I will listen to it, there's nothing better than being awake at the crack of dawn  8)
Is there anyone who will record it?

should be interesting; hope someone puts this up because thats prime time bar hours on the east Coast

great this will rest alot of rumours!!hey ever tought slash and matt are announcing that they are back in GN'R ?:rofl:

why would they announce that the day after the first gig? :hihi:

sunday morning, 3 to 5, Im pretty sure ;D
I like being up at those hours too, so I'll probably be listening.

UPDATE-

Camp Freddy Radio podcasts will be available through Billy Morrison's site www.billymorrison.net while Dave's busy with The Panic Channel summer tour and Rock Star -  Supernova.

pheeeew! thanks man! : ok:

Not sure how quickly the shows will be available after original airdate, should have more info in the next day or so.

good stuff. no hurry, just glad I get to hear it :)

the pod casts will be up very quick-i should know as im the 1 doing it for billy.
when its done ill give u guys the heads up with the link or if not check the site n get it from there.
ill also be doing all the podcasts while dave is away.
peace.

wow, awesome man! say hello to Billy from me! ;D

That's great! : ok:
I think I will be listening to it anyway, as I said, I love dawn   :)

Awesome! thanks a lot! we all appreciate it.

He's on.

OMG!
he's actually playing GNR? :o :drool:
Whola Lotta Rosie
live Marquee? (sp?)

I think Slash might want '59 Les Paul.

Tour Soon.
 ;D ;D ;D

I think so too  ;D


Yes!!  ;D

I've been unabale to get CFR ... can anyone fill me in?

- Slash wants a '59 Les paul.
- No Axl/Slash conversation
- No Reunion
- Trumpet Guy = Faggot
- VR recorded song for Spielberg animated movie
- VR touring soon

Slash thinks Axl is making the conversation up to promote an album.
Slash deny's the conversation to death. Slash actually believed some guy "in the buisness" Chinese Democracy is coming out...

They want no more GN'R questions. They started cutting people off.

Hahaha,that trumpet guy  :rofl:

Have to say that I love Slash's and Matt's voices  :drool: :smoking:

Any word on what movie?

EDIT: Just noticed the other thread  ;D

did he say anything else?

I heard that he shot down divorce rumors with Perla. If they're really not divorcing I think that's totally cool for their babies.

No audio of this yet?

Thankyou!!

download limt exceeded  :-\

whoa, it's working now  :smoking:

I thought he had a 59 LP? if you look here http://slashsnakepit.chez-alice.fr/materiel/guitares/guitares.html
you can see one listed in the second picture. maybe it's a replica, and not properly tagged?

Can never have too many guitars!

slash said he's not divorcing perla, eevrything we've been hearing are all lies.. How quickly everyone jumps on slash..

I think he wants a mint condition new 59 Les Paul Flametop.  What he means by new is it was purchased, never played and just sat in its case all this time....

Wouldn't it be interesting though to know who's been starting these rumors? Slash's supposed "divorce", did that e-mail that was alledgedly from Arlette inspire someone to invent a Slash and Perla divorce rumor? Things are just weird right now. If everything that we've been hearing about Slash lately are rumors, (and I'm sure that there's a good chance that they are), then it's almost like someone's out to make him look like an asshole. Like I said, weird!

Metal Sludge seems to make up or post everything as truth these days-reunion rumors, and so-on-everytime a band has down time, people make shit up-I remember rumors of Tommy and Robin quitting after the Philly thing-there are never many rumors when a band is touring, selling records-in the 2 years VR toured, none of this came up

OMG, Metal Sludge seems to thrive on posting anything negative that they hear before even attempting to find out if it's true. I couldn't even believe it when they came out with that "Duff back in rehab" nonsense.

I know, and the worst thing about it was Duff was spending the time with his kids on some holiday while metalsludge were posting that about him.

this should keep the first 25 people happy

trumpet guy ruled "my girlfriend has both illusions thats hardcore" :rofl:

didn't get to listen to the whole thing yet but so far it has been pretty cool.. Thanks to whoever posted it...

VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash joined VR/ex-GNR drummer Matt Sorum this past Saturday, May 13, as a guest on Camp Freddy Radio. During the two-hour show, Slash addressed a number of topics, including the rumors that he was rejoining GUNS N' ROSES, Axl Rose's claim that Slash made an unannounced visit to Rose's house in October 2005, the reports that he had quit VELVET REVOLVER and filed for divorce, and the songwriting process for VR's sophomore album. A few excerpts from the broadcast follow (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):

On the rumors that Slash was rejoining GUNS N' ROSES:

Slash: "I saw a thing that was put out that said something to the effect that I won't be doing any gigs until after a certain point [referring to a May 8, 2006 Associated Press article which stated that 'Slash may end up back in the band as well, but probably not before the Hammerstein shows.' ? Ed.] He put out some sort of? He [GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose] did a radio interview, I guess, in New York, and it said whatever city he was gonna be playing, it said it won't be until after that? And I was like, 'Where does this stuff come from?' But before that, the whole thing was, like, everybody just assumed that I'd quit VELVET REVOLVER and I was joining? Even you guys [speaking to Matt ? Ed.] thought that."

Matt: "Well, hey? You can't believe everything you read. [Laughs]"

Slash: "It was like all these rumors going around. So I just wanted to dispel that one. That one and the fact that I ever had a conversation with him [Axl] at all.'

Matt: "I told the story last week that I ran into him [Rose] in New York and actually talked to him, and it was fairly pleasant. It was very pleasant, actually, but we were both drunk, so that helped. [Laughs]"

Slash: "When we were on the red carpet last night [at the MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert in Hollywood], that was the first thing that I went and talked about to what's-her-face from CNN, and [I was] just so inundated with questions about what's going on with VELVET REVOLVER, supposedly all this in-band fighting going on, and then all these rumors about GUNS N' ROSES, and this and that and the other, and I was just like? I've been minding my own business, sitting at home, working on the songs [for the new VELVET REVOLVER album]. I mean, the fact that people even care enough to start rumors or keep regurgitating them? it's amazing."

Matt: "I mean, I guess FALL OUT BOY isn't doing anything crazy to talk about, so they might as well talk about us old sods. [Laughs]"

Slash: "I guess that's one thing that's always gone along with that name, GUNS N' ROSES ? there's always been this controversial? just talk. [Laughs]"

Matt: "Well, like you were saying before, it didn't help us get through airports quickly. It's like, 'You guys over there, in the room. Drop your pants.' [Laughs]"

Slash: "I think this is the first time, though, that it's actually been so intrusive that I started, like, going? 'Cause I don't read? I don't get on the computer and read everything that's going on, so it's always by word of mouth. 'Oh, I heard this,' or 'I heard that.' 'Where'd you hear that?' 'Oh, it's online.' [Laughs]"

Matt: "You can't get away with anything in this world anymore, man ? I'm telling you. If you're down there in Atlanta hanging out with some stripper, the next day it's on the Internet, and if you've got an old lady back in? wherever. I mean, there's nothing you can do in the world that everybody isn't gonna put up on the Internet, and it's a real drag, actually. [Laughs]"

Slash: "In this case, though, it started stuff with my band. And, of course, that whole thing that I filed for divorce didn't go over well either. [Laughs]"

Matt: "The old lady didn't dig that too much. [Laughs]"

Slash: "No, that was like? [I was like], 'What are you talking about?' 'Look on your computer.' And I'd look on there? [It was written] very matter-of-factly, on the date that [supposedly] I did it? this, that and the other, and all things considered..."

On VELVET REVOLVER's current status:

Slash: "We're still a band and none of that stuff [the rumors] is?"

Matt: "We actually just recorded a song that we're gonna put on this movie. Do we have the movie? Or don't we? [Laughs]"

Slash: "I think they offered it to us and we have to give them song, and? It sounds really good, so I don't think there's gonna be a problem, like, 'Oh, I don't think that's what we wanted.' [Laughs] I mean, I guess that could happen, but I doubt it."

Matt: "It's this new Steven Spielberg flick. It's?"

Slash: "And [Robert] Zemeckis."

Matt: "And Zemeckis? yeah, I forgot about him. Zemeckis and Spielberg? And it's this animated flick called 'Monster House'. It's really cool. They took us down to see it in a private screening room and the whole deal. It was nice."

Slash: "Yeah, it should probably be a big movie."

On Axl Rose's claim that Slash made an unannounced 5:30 a.m. visit to Rose's house in October 2005 during which he stated, among other things, that "Duff was spineless," "Scott [Weiland] was a fraud," and that he "hates Matt Sorum":

Slash: "I'm not gonna go into the whole long thing. It was just something that he [Axl] decided he was going to? It was a lot of this stuff was built to promote the next GUNS record and the tour and all that kind of stuff, 'cause there was this blatantly fabricated thing in there that I'd gone to his house and that he and I had a conversation in which I said all this stuff about my bandmates. And it's just blatantly untrue. For one, I have not talked to the guy in any way, shape or form since 1996, so it's going on 11 years. [Laughs] So that's basically it. There's just no truth to it. And all things considered, it put lot of whatever in people's minds that I was that kind of a guy, so it's? there you have it. So it's not true."

On Slash's claim in a February 2006 interview that GUNS N' ROSES' "Chinese Democracy" would finally surface in March:

Slash: "I got a lot of flak for having said that, 'cause everybody through I was on glue. I'm the first guy to go? I would never have put out a date. But somebody who would know is who told me that, and that's somebody close to that side of the fence that told me, 'Oh, we got a March release date.' So I just repeated it, basically. It was somebody in the business. They made it sound like it is coming out on such and such a date. Really, I didn't realize that it was such a big deal. And I think some people were like, 'You've gotta be out of your mind.' But it was very sort of casual, in conversation."

On potential producers for the new VELVET REVOLVER album:

Slash: "I think Duff ran into Lenny [Kravitz] at some point and they were talking about producers, and Lenny offered his serverices. Something like that."

Matt: "We haven't actually figured out who's gonna produce it yet, but we are doing one song with this guy Dave Sardy, who produced JET and the new WOLFMOTHER band. We're kind of gonna go? I think we're gonna be a little nastier sound on this record, hopefully."

Slash: "The whole record thing? Everything that I've heard that everybody's been working on is just awesome."

Matt: "Yeah, we've got a bunch of songs, so we've basically? Everyone's kind of just been doing their own thing. You come off the road after being on the road together for 18 months and it's kind of like, 'I'll see you in a couple.' [Laughs] So we kind of all spread out. We've got a big pile of? Slash's got a pile of songs, and me and Duff got a couple of that we did together, and Dave's [Kushner] got one, and actually one that we're using for this movie."

Slash: "That's how this band seems to get together every time. We just do one song for a movie and that kick-starts the whole project. [Laughs]"

Matt: "It's gonna be kind of cool 'cause the song is coming out really good, so it'll get us out there again, 'cause we've kind of been out on the road. People don't realize that when you're out on the road that you're out there. I've just been on an 18-month tour.

"But the new album is gonna be good? very good. We don't know who's producing it yet.'

Slash: "A lot of good candidates."

Matt: "Everybody's just throwing it out there. Sometimes you get in a press thing or something and you might say something that maybe? Scott talked to Pharrell at the Grammys and then it became, like, an idea, but it hasn't been, like, engraved in stone or anything. And then, like, I? I talked to? Duff talked to Lenny Kravitz ? I was there when Duff was talking to him ? and it was sort of like, 'Let's just get together and see what we can come up with.' That kind of thing. It wasn't like, 'Hey, do the record.' It was more like just a couple of musicians getting together seeing what they could come up with, really."

Slash: "What really is casual conversation, once it hits the press, man, it gets turned into something else. Everybody who's out there listening sort of gets the wrong? gets the misconception, basically."

Matt: "So that's basically the story for now. We're definitely? I have my studio. We were over there the other day, and it seems like it's a pretty good vibe over there, so we're just gonna get in there and kind of demo everything up and get the songs happening, because, you know, it's all about the songs, my friend."

An MP3 file containing the audio of Slash's May 13 appearance on Camp Freddy Radio has been made available for download at this location (40 MB).

sorry if this has already been posted! i did check though!!

Matt: "I told the story last week that I ran into him [Rose] in New York and actually talked to him, and it was fairly pleasant. It was very pleasant, actually, but we were both drunk, so that helped."

this guy has definitely no balls.
hope Axl will dedicate him Double Talkin' Jive next time.

Slash: "I'm not gonna go into the whole long thing. It was just something that he [Axl] decided he was going to? It was a lot of this stuff was built to promote the next GUNS record and the tour and all that kind of stuff, 'cause there was this blatantly fabricated thing in there that I'd gone to his house and that he and I had a conversation in which I said all this stuff about my bandmates. And it's just blatantly untrue. For one, I have not talked to the guy in any way, shape or form since 1996, so it's going on 11 years. [Laughs] So that's basically it. There's just no truth to it. And all things considered, it put lot of whatever in people's minds that I was that kind of a guy, so it's? there you have it. So it's not true."

i can't see why Guns N'Roses needs that to promote the new album, it's just non sense.
so, two possibilities : GNR management put that thing in the press stuff, or Slash lies because he's embarrassed.
and i can understand that  :hihi:

Why has Matt got no balls exactly?
He doesn't diss Axl here, he just said it was pleasant because they were both drunk, and probably because of that, they both had their guards down. Whereas if they were both sober it might've been a different story.
There seems like no animosity there between Matt & Axl, so why are you carrying on as if there is?

Man, you Axl worshippers need to give it up. ::)

Anyway, that was a cool read, thanks for that. It's true how a tiny bit of online gossip can turn into such a big monster, I know I'm guilty of reading too deep into stuff like that myself.

VR sound as though they're in a really positive place and are confident with their new songs, which I like to hear. Bring on the new album! : ok:

You should download the whole show.. It was actually a pretty good listen. I havent gotten through the whole thing but it is definately entertaining if you are a fan of VR or Guns...

Interesting stuff...its good to see Slash put some of those annying rumors to rest.  I want a reunion more than almost anything, but to have all these BS umors floating around is annoying.  Its good to have Slash set the record straight.  I'm looking forward to the new album.  I just listened to Contraband and it got me psyched for some new music from this band.

Rumor stuff aside, we finally got somewhat of an answer to why "Loving The Alien" has never been played - they just never put it on the setlist.  Matt also said they werent sure it would even make the record since it had a different feel from the rest of the record and was more thrown together than the other songs.  They indicated that they might play "Loving The Alien" sometime.

I wonder why Slash didn't address some of the horrible rumors going around about his wife and her causing so much trouble in his professional life and her being portrayed as such an evil woman. I'm sure that the things being said about Perla must bother him terribly.

I'm glad they didn't get into a bunch of name calling and he said this bullshit.  They haven't been together for over a decaded so just go to the next question.  They were great when they were together but now there is a dff. GN'R.  Maybe someday they will play againg maybe not.

Wow that is awesome..  That must have been near the end of the interview cause I didn't hear it.. I was just thinking the the day how cool it would be if they busted it out next tour.   That would suck if that song was brushed under the rug.. There was a thead about peoples 3 favorite VR tunes on another board and almost everyone had that one in there....

He did. Basically PErla wasnt happy about the divorce rumors which arent true. So yeh that answers that

U r a total & utter moron, then again what do i expect by ppl who feel they need to take sides over a favorite band of ours from 20  years ago i mean come on why? WHY? JUST ANSWER ME WHY?!?!?! & i bet u wont coz u have no reason ur just a miserable c**t

What did Matt say there that was wrong at all? tell me? TELL ME?  :rant: u stupid mother fucker (hey axl says it why cant i this is MY RANT). He said it was pleasant &t hat they were both drunk & u know what it does help ppl relax & talk esp to someone u have some history  or "beef" with that u havent seen ina  while

Umm theres more than 2 options there heaps some stupid kid who feels the need to bag the ex members, like u, put it in there (from what Gilby says that Axl didnt put it in & is shocked it was in the PR). & yes Guns N Roses do need prootion. 99% of the world has no idea when this albums coming, about axls radio appearance or the concerts. Sure its in the press but does everyone get to read it, or care to....NO! so it MAY have been to get ppl talking about GNR which in turn would help sales of the record

IM not bagging new GNR i like the music but im also not deluded into thinking that either Guns N Roses or Velvet Revolver is the most talked about thing since jesus christ

No need to stoop to insults.  Just ignore a post like that.

Did you listen to the whole show just to post that and try to rip on Matt and Slash?  Believe it or not, to those people that don't post on this or any other GnR boards, most don't because they just don't care.  To them, the band died when Slash and Duff quit. 

Whether or not you or others believe that to be the case, it's the way alot of people think.  Even those that still support Axl.

Well, if Slash is lying then Axl was lying when he told Rolling Stone he hadn't seen Slash in 10 years. Both of them have said the same thing  so isn't it possible that they are telling the truth and someone added that story to stir up shit? It wasn't even in the press release sent to the press. It was only sent here. Doesn't that sound suspicious?

Chill out, personal insults aren't allowed on this board.

I think that it would have been interesting if Slash would have talked about all of the horrible rumors going around about his wife Perla and where he thought that they came from. I know that all of the negative rumors about her must have really bothered him because in any interview with Slash if Perla's mentioned he speaks of her like he just loves her with all of his heart.

Slash isn't the kind of person to talk about that stuff in public.

People on the message boards must be new GNR fans because I have never heard him say anything negative about Axl or anyone else in public.  (Except when he threatened CICI DEVILLE for copying the top hat look)

People that say Slash has lied or talks too, are very mistaken.

I'm sure he was very hurt by everything.  He is a nice guy, I only met him once but I've read other celebrities, musicians, coworkers, and fans comments and everyone says he's the most humble rock star they've ever met.

My wife's good friend worked with VR and helped hire one of their roadies, and has told her many times that Slash and Duff are awesome, guys who are actually kind of boring now, bnut that they are extremely nice and keep to themselves.

When I was lucky enough to meet Slash he was layed back signed over 50 autogrpahs, had a nice (short) conversation with me that he started --
and never said anything negative--even to the OLD GNr fans with no VR stuff and guys obviously wanting stuff for EBAy.
He was way cool and super polite not like other "Rock Stars" I've seen.
