Slash: 'This Is Not Velvet Revolver's Last Tour'

[Feel_The_Burn]

He wrote a fucking book to get less GN'R questions and "clear things up".

Does it really bother you that much?

[Smoking Guns]

Oh God...... 

His band is falling apart so he has to talk about GN'R again? Move on.....



/jarmo

Maybe Mountain Dew is challenging them with a reunion.

What are you jealous no one cares about VR enough to do something like that with them? 

ummm, no, its a joke.  I am very happy if you read the thread on the other part of the board.

I got the joke.  Though, it may take more than a free Dew to get Weiland and Sorum to work together in the future

What, so he should never discuss GNR in an interview again?

Yeah, Slash is most famous for being in GNR, so in interviews he's expected to talk about the band. People generally like to ask Paul McCartney about The Beatles too.  I don't get what's so wrong about that, or why anyone would see it as some sort of character flaw.

Sure you are, I've been reading the other thread and you've been making snide comments throughout the whole thing.

I am on board!  At first I questioned it.  We still don't know everything.  Don't question my fandom.  Ha!

In reality, that book stoked the fire for more questions, it's that simple.

Bottom line:

Journalists will never stop asking those type of questions and with at least this version of VR breaking up - those questions will likely remain prevelent.

I agree.

You are right and it's pathetic that people still ask ... I'd NEVER ask that if I were a journalist!  What an uninspiring set of questions to ask!

You will agree no doubt, that this is not Slash's fault... or ... maybe indirectly because he was a massive part of GnR and created their best known songs, he kinda created this inevitable never ending wish from people to want him back in the band ...

but ... as I say ... I think Slash, more than you ... I ... or anyone else in the world, will probably hate this question.  I've seen him answer it with longer quotes... because generally he's not rude to journalists... but I've also seen him show how tired he is of it by saying simply "There's no more to be said about it" ...

So I just hope people give up the questions about GnR.  GnR is the way it is now.  Like it or not.  I prefer the old GnR, but that doesn't mean I wanna see Slash get asked the same old "are you getting back into GnR" type questions!

It's annoying!

[Top-Hatted One]

without Slash's signature sound Guns would sound like LA Guns/Hollywood Rose and never truly break

do you have nothing better to do other than bitch everytime slash answers a question?

You should've added "about the band he quit years ago" at the end.

Jarmo, there are a lot of good things going on with GNR right now.  Why focus on this?

Good point.  And, as many above, pointed out, he gets asked, despite the fucking book!!  I'm sure he gets sick of talking about it, too.   If I were a journalist, I wouldn't bring up GnR, either, but they do.  Statements, like that, are getting old.  Really old.

Good quote, TomFriend!   

[Continental Drift]

Solo project

Slash has also confirmed that he is planning to release a solo album in the near future, working with guest vocalists.

He said: "I don't think I have the patience to do an instrumental record, so I want to work with a bunch of artists whose records I've played on and some who I've never worked with."

But, the self admitted nervous and insecure guitar player stopped short of relevaling any names.

He said: "I'm scared they pull out at the last minute and make me look like a schmuck."

I know I'm dreaming here.... but what a cool gesture it would be to Guns N' Roses fans of all types if Axl could somehow sing on one of these tracks. I would think that they could do it without even seeing each other in the studio or collaborating with each other in any way.

I keep posting the same thing, I really think fans are building themselves up for a let down with Slash's solo album, especially with pipe-dreams like that last one lol. I think the album is going to have a lot of really shitty people on it no one here will care much for. Santana-esque. I think it's less likely to have Alice Cooper, Dave Mustaine, Lemmy, Anselmo, Tyler, or anyone great on it and more likely to have Daughtry, Rob Thomas, and Carrie Underwood.

Slash is personal friends of the rock stars you mentioned ... I am pretty damn sure that they'd drop everything to help Slash on his album.

I never said they wouldn't. I just don't think Slash is going to take it in that direction. I would lose my mind if he did. Those are basically a few of my favorite artists ever and they'd be working with my favorite musician ever. I just think it's gonna be shitty pop stars doing there own thing with some soloing. Santana made a fortune off of it. I would love it if it was more like Iommi tho. Thats a sweet album.

[1987]

wow.. never heard of Poets & Pornstars..  just watched that video.. they are awesom.. sign that guy up.  see ya scotty..  i'm actually going to go get a Poets & Pornstars album.. i usually hate new music.. but i want to hear more.  the lyrics weren't the best.. but they had a great rock sound. 

[ToonGuns]

or it could also mean that Scott is under contract for three albums and promotional work for those....so he'll have to do more concerts....but i doubt that's the case....

Which would pretty much be what they're doing right now. Finishing up what they have to do so he can go tour with STP and be excited again.



/jarmo

however, they have a three album deal, and they've only done two....so it comes down to the mechanics of the contract...if scott is not a hired gun as far as the record company is concerned, then they could let him walk.....but if he is....that breach of contract could cost them millions....so perhaps what slash meant by that comment was that scott will come back to end his stint as per his contract...

They could always do the whole "live album" thing to get out of the deal - hundreds of bands have done that.
