The sounds coming from the Guantanamo Bay prison at night are better than VR

You bet, last night they were blasting Ozzy Osbourne!

Good American History X username, by the way.

Well played, Bridge.  Very well indeed.

Since this is about a new song from his solo album, I'll put it here:

Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) will perform a song off his upcoming self-titled solo album with WOLFMOTHER's Andrew Stockdale at a benefit concert on November 22 at the Avalon in Hollywood, California.

Osessing over the sequence of the album, hope to have a final decision by tomorrow......or not ; )

Obsessing, I mean. Good thing I'm not a tweaker, this thing would never get done.

From Myles Kennedy...

Speaking of great experiences, as some of you know, I recently had the opportunity to write a song and record with Slash. To say it was an honor would be an understatement.  Especially considering that his body of work has been integral in my musical evolution.

I can't wait to hear the new single of Slash featuring Ozzy Osbourne.   

[Smoking Guns]

It will be hard for them to top this song...

Yes, definitely it will. but I guess the single w/Ozzy won't be a ballad, but a hard song.

Interview

SLASH

Andrew Stockdale's playing with you on Sunday. Are you going to do your song together?

We're talking about it [Laughs]. That seems to be the plan. That's a cool thing too. There's a song that I recorded with Ozzy, but we're not going to have a chance to learn it. I've actually done two songs on the record with two of these guys performing at LAYN Rocks.

Is that vibe spilling over into your solo material?

The solo stuff is really cool because it does have a similar vibe. It wasn't created for any kind of cause, benefit, fundraising or anything like that but, at the same time, there's something to it. The last couple bands I've been in?Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses and even Snakepit?there were so many concerns coming from the record company about so many different things. The pressure can be a little bit of a drag at times especially if you've got ego problems within the band. That's what being in a rock n' roll band can be about. I wanted to do a solo record so I could do something that I'd dictate myself and would be my responsibility. Whether it sinks or swims is all up to me. To get a bunch of people together who I think are really talented and have them sing is amazing. The singers were all great because they didn't have to worry about pressures from their record labels about whether or not the song was going to be a huge hit single. I got amazing performances because the whole thing was so laidback. That's one of the similarities between my record and this concert that we're doing on Sunday. It's really done for the pure joy of it, as opposed to trying to prove something, trying to sell a certain number of copies or whatever it is that motivates everybody these days [Laughs].

Cool responses from Slash.

I did have a feeling that this record was for fun and not for album sales.  i am sure he'll still promote it though.

Make no mistake, he wants to sell albums. He's just saying there was no record company involvement. If it was self-financed, then he'll have even more at stake regarding album sales.

How do you know did you discuss that with him?

If you recorded an album, wouldn't you want it to sell? Guaranteed, he might have done it for a change from the usual band scene, but everyone wants success.

I would think that fact that he's releasing singles would indicate he's pretty interested in sales.  If it's just for 'fun' , and not for sales, why not offer it as a free download on his website?

That's kind of what I just said... or was it not clear in my post...

[BlowUpYourVideo]

If it's just for 'fun' , and not for sales, why not offer it as a free download on his website? 

Perhaps all the guests who appeared might not find that to be particularly 'fun'.

Yea.  I imagine it cost quite a bit just to get all of those guests on the album.   It's a bigger risk cuz he will have to make back all of that money that he spent, but I think it will pay off.   Seems like a cool idea overall.   

[D]

I believe him, I mean really, he has nothing to prove. He is just lowering expectations so if it doesn't sell amazingly well, it won't seem as big a deal

no body makes an album not wanting it to be successful though, so im sure he is hoping for a good number. with those guest stars though, it should certainly go Gold.

i have been hearing the same thing over and over..
"plating wihout caring about the record company"-- and all that kida thing
with VR he said the same.. with SS also
