Slash Working on Solo Album - Release Date April 6th

[FunkyMonkey]

And for those who didn't listen to Perla's interview in the Psychic Hollywood thread, at the end she talks about his solo album.

Apparently Slash has been playing his new album for the elementary school kids that he carpools.  They like it.

I did listen to the interview and that part about the kids was a real kick. You know, kids are very honest because they don't know better so they really must like the album. Myself, can't wait to hear it.

Something else that's a real kick for me is Slash driving a carpool. I remember when I was a young GnR fan hanging out at the Rainbow in Hollywood and seeing Slash and Axl in there constantly. My friend's and I never actually met them because we didn't approach them because of a strict policy we had against bothering celebs. To me it's just funny thinking of the Slash from those days driving a carload of kids to school. Never really thought I'd see the day!

well, the dude is in his 40's now and I guess thats what parents with young kids do; no matter how famous

still think Slash should've had Adler,Duff and Izzy all on the same track with him. would've been monumental!

I thought people on GNR boards were a little more patient 

I think it might be in the febuary or march edition.  There was never any further details on that.

The release of the "fan pack" in Classic Rock Magazine was reported to be a month before the general release.

Slash said the album would be released in April, so yeah, probably in the February or March issue depending on when it drops.

It's going to be a SPECIAL EDITION of Classic Rock magazine, out in March.
It's not going to be in the regular March issue.

Yeah, some details here:

Slash - New Distribution Model For Solo Album

In a revolutionary move, Future and Roadrunner Records will create the first-ever "Fan Pack" release - giving UK fans the world premiere of the Slash album before it receives a standard release elsewhere. The Fan Pack comes with its own collectable issue of Future's Classic Rock Magazine - Classic Rock Presents: Slash - a 132-page Slash special bringing the album and his successful career into context, with new features from leading music journalists and exclusive input from Slash himself.

From Snakepit:

SLASH is mixing his album and is doing it entirely on tape. The entire album was recorded analogue. It will be released in April, and there will be tours to promote the album. It will be released in all formats including vinyl. The first release will be through the "FanPack" release to include a 132 page special issue of Classic Rock for 14.99 pounds. This special release will be out a month before the CD alone is out. Note that the new album is not titled, as rumored, SLASH and Friends, but SLASH. SLASH is signed to Roadrunner Records for Europe, and U.S. distributor will be announced soon. Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge recently spoke out about his work on SLASH. Kennedy wrote a song and recorded it with SLASH. Kennedy said, "To say it was an honor would be an understatement." The single "Sahara" by Japanese singer Koshi Inaba was released November 11. The B side is "Paradise City" featuring Fergie and Cypress Hill. SLASH said neither will be on the album, but we recently read that he is reconsidering. Another single featuring Ozzy is scheduled to be out in January. Other guests are Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Duff, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin, Dave Grohl, Flea, Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, Chris Cornell, Myles Kennedy, Fergie, Adam Levine and Andrew Stockdale. Killer!

From Lorenzo Greene:

Slash, it's Lorenzo. I will put up $1000.00 cash and you bring me up onstage to do Patience and I will bring the house down w/ the way I perform it. Check my YouTube version of it here:

gotta say that that's pretty damn cool from that lorenzo dude! slash can't say no to that

[Judas Fuckin Priest]

What a GREAT, GREAT voice Lorenzo has. The guy reminds me Ozzy, I think that is the Man for Velvet Revolver.

[Smoking Guns]

gotta say that that's pretty damn cool from that lorenzo dude! slash can't say no to that

Agree, he can't say no, and its for a good cause!  Do it SLASH!!!!!

[Genesis]

Lorenzo has a great voice, but I don't think he's the right man for VR. I don't think he has much skill in the writing department, which is what matters.

[andy1981]

thanks for the replys about the album/fan pack guys

 

[MrMojoRa]

I'm not impressed with Lorenzo's offer. He's an unknown wanting to pay his way into some attention.
