Slash Working on Solo Album - Release Date April 6th

[Smoking Guns]

if he has Fergie. That will suck

Fergie and Franky would be pretty good.  I think Fergie does great singing rock.

[Falcon]

Fergie as the touring singer???

Not a chance..

Smart money says Franky Perez...

I think he needs a bigger name to get buts in the seats...  Franky is a good singer, but he seems to lack that "it" factor.

I don't think that'll happen..

It's not like this is some arena rock endeavor (unless they open for someone), they'll probably be playing clubs/theatres here in the states.  Places like The Warfield in SF, Joint in LV, Nokia in LA, Terminal 5 in NYC and assorted House of Blues..

Just my opinion..

Good point, and, I prefer that!  I love small shows like that.  Franky will do fine.

Regarding Fergie, Black Eyes Peas are on tour until mid-April.

Andrew Stockdale and Wolfmother are on tour until early March.

Unfortunately the big name singers who would get butts in the seats are busy getting butts in the seats for their OWN shows.  No time to help Slash out.  Franky, as far as I know, doesn't have any commitments, so he would make sense.

[WTTJ_91]

He doesn't need anyone's name to get people in seats ; he is slash lol won't be fergie I'm saying frankie as well

[D]

LOL@ people who think only singers attract an audience.

[mrlee]

i wish Slash would work with Prince.

[faldor]

LOL@ people who think only singers attract an audience.

A well known singer certainly wouldn't hurt his cause. 

[FunkyMonkey]

@SlashHudson Hey man, any chance of findin out the name of the song you recorded with Ronnie Wood for your new record?

From Slash:

@rockinrosss Ronnie is not on my record, I'm on his & I can't remeber the names of the songs.

I don't think that Slash really cares for Prince. I don't mean Prince as a musician, I mean Prince as a person. A long time ago I read an interview with Slash and he mentioned something about meeting Prince and he was really arrogant. I can't remember what Slash said exactly because the interview was a long time ago but I certainly remember that Slash thought he was an ass.

[Six Strings]

How about Steven Tylor? That would kick asses!

[faldor]

How about Steven Tylor? That would kick asses!

Steven has said he wants to focus on "Brand Tyler", which I would assume means HIS solo stuff, not Slash's.

[FunkyMonkey]

@SlashHudson Hey Slash, is Meat Loaf going to sing on your album? Thanks.

@MackArillo. No, Meatloaf didn't sing on my record, but Meatloaf is badass.

SLASH: New Solo Album Due In April - Dec. 23, 2009

VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash has issued the following update:

"I'll be staying in town for the holidays, but I'm doing a poker tourney in the Bahamas first week of January, which is a benefit for 'The Foundation for AIDS Research,' or AMFAR. It should be a cool trip and it's for an important cause.

"The mastering session of my solo record is done. We did it at Sterling Sound with George Marino, who is hands down the most genius mastering engineer I've ever worked with. He is the perfect engineer to best bring out the dynamic nuances of the analog recording and I'm ecstatic with the results.

"Although it is not in my nature to brag about how good the performances are or how good the songs are, I will say, between [producer] Eric Valentine and George Marino, it is a fucking great-sounding record.

"We are now in the process of mixing the special bonus tracks which should be done next week. Then we will master those and be done with the whole recording, mixing, mastering process.

"I should be signing a U.S. distribution deal in the coming days, I will announce who with as soon as I do. We're still looking at an April release so far.

"I'll be at the NAMM show next year announcing the new 'Slash model' Marshall, as well as a new signature Les Paul and a signature set of Seymour Duncan pickups, all of which will be available early in the new year. I played the new 'Slash model' prototype with the new Seymour Duncan pickups at the KLOS Christmas Show at the Nokia recently and they sound fantastic. The performance was a little loose, but the guitar sounded great."

Slash will release his debut solo album, "Slash", in the spring in Europe via Roadrunner Records.

"Slash" will see Roadrunner Records enter into a unique and innovative association with a U.K. media partner ? the special-interest media group Future. In a brand new concept in record distribution, the standard album release will be preceded by a "Fan Pack," in which the Roadrunner Records album will be bundled together with a highly collectable, 132-page special issue of Future Publishing's Classic Rock magazine dedicated to Slash's career. This will be the first format of the album available anywhere in the world.

The partnership is a first for music and media industries, marking the first-time a major new album has been released this way. The partnership ensures that Slash's new album is available through over 4,000 U.K. retailers that stock Classic Rock ? sidestepping the issue of dwindling high street music outlets and top 20 only stocking in supermarkets. Classic Rock is one of the U.K.'s biggest rock music magazines and this year recorded its eighth consecutive circulation increase, the only paid-for music magazine to grow.

The Slash "Fan Pack" featuring his debut solo album from Roadrunner Records, along with a 132-page "Classic Rock Presents: Slash" special will have a cover price of ?14.99.

LOL


J/K, this album should be good. I wonder how many songs will be on it with these 'bonus tracks'....

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I'm sure his stuff will be good, who he has on vocals for each track is what makes me wonder though....

Is this going to be a Santana type CD?
