Slash Working on Solo Album - Release Date April 6th

[FunkyMonkey]

So the release dates so far are, if I have this correct:

Japan (Universal) - March 24

U.S. (EMI) - April 6

U.K. (Classic Rock Special Edition) - April 7

U.K. (Roadrunner) - May 10th

[FunkyMonkey]

So it looks like the Adler/Flea track didn't make the album. 

Steven Adler must be seriously disappointed.  He was so excited to be playing on the album.  And yes, I know it will be a bonus track.

I'm assuming it will be released in Canada as well ? Probably the same date as in U.S. , right ?

i was seriosly looking forward to the track with steven, Flea and Slash.  3 quality musicians.
That said, i disagree that its a dick move.  He obviously had to leave some tracks off and the label might have pressured him to remove this one for whatever reason.  (we don't know).
I just hope its not a similar situatuation to messages.

I really doubt that its shit, i mean cmon, Slash, Flea and Popcorn Adler!  How could that be shit lol.

I don't think he is screwing Steven over though.  The track will still see the light of day in some format im sure.
There must be some reason for not including it. 

i might just tweet Slash and ask. and join the queue

It could be that it's a massive track, and they are going to do something really special with it. LOL @ "Dick Move" Gimme a break!

I dont think thats the case - I think the artists mentioned there are contributing vocals - so I still think the track him and Flea on is one of those tracks

[w.axl.rose]

its probably one of those tracks that you can only get from buying the album off of itunes. like VR's libertad, you buy it off itunes and you also get messages and psycho something, can't remember the name.

No, Slash said that one of the bonus tracks is going to have Flea and Steven. Also - the Dave Grohl/Duff track is an instrumental.

It will be a bonus track, it's not on the album.

I love this song, and can't wait to hear the studio version. That riff is just killer and really catchy, and I love the way the solo builds. I also think the vocals are going to sound really good on this song.

I saw that video a while back, but as far as quality from both times the song was performed I think this one was the best in terms of audio quality.

If all the songs are of the quality of "By The Sword" this album is gonna be great!

[FunkyMonkey]

Ozzy's song is tentatively titled "Crucify Me Again".

Although the track was initially slated to be the first single from Slash's record, due to legal issues The Pulse of Radio hears that a song featuring AVENGED SEVENFOLD's M. Shadows on vocals, titled "Nothing To Say", may now be the first one headed to rock radio stations.

I'd rather see it be the Myles Kennedy track.
