The only song I know of theirs is Metalingus (the wrestler Edge uses it as his entrance music) which is pretty good.

It's a good interview.  He says that the Fergie track has a stripper beat to it -- so I guess it works for her.

I think that was just a running title as that is essentially what the album is. I don't think it was ever official.

That makes sence I thought "Slash N Friends" though sounded alot cooler.

  Yeah, "Slash and People My Manager Introduced Me To" just didn't have the same ring to it

Video Interview

Slash ? "Like the darker side of American Idol, you'd want something that's really fantastic with this contest"

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:53:00

Slash, legendary Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist, talks Martin Scorsese flicks to ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor Rick Florino in this exclusive interview and compares his own solo album to "History of the World Pt. 2"?

Interview: Slash ? "Like the darker side of American Idol, you'd want something that's really fantastic with this contest"
In this exclusive interview, Slash shares his favorite movies with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino. The iconic Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist happens to be a big Martin Scorsese fan, and he can't wait to see Shutter Island! He also dives deep into making of his solo album for us, and he explains how he's crafting "the darker side of American Idol" with his Guitar Center contest in an effort to find something that's, of course, "fucking fantastic."

If you want Slash to be behind the board on your album, enter the Guitar Center contest, but be sure to check out his solo album first due out April 6, 2010. With everyone from Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop to Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows and Fergie making guest appearances, it's one of the best rock records of 2010, and it showcases some of Slash's most incendiary and explosive playing since Appetite for Destruction?

Slash on Recording With Ozzy and Lemmy, Plans for Summer Tour

2/19/10, 4:20 pm EST

Slash spent more time navigating red tape than laying down guitar lines for his self-titled solo disc, due in stores this April. ?It took four months to make the record,? he says. ?I had to write all the material then I had to make demos to send to all the singers. And then the thing that made it take the longest was getting releases from all the different artists? record companies.? But the paperwork was well worth the effort since he got to settle into the studio with two of his heroes: Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy Kilmister.

?Sitting next to Ozzy while he?s writing lyrics and practicing the vocal is really fuckin? a trip,? Slash says, explaining that Osbourne recorded his vocal parts at his own house. ?I?ve been listening to Ozzy since I was like 13 years old.? Slash calls Lemmy ?the embodiment of rock & roll? and adds, ?Before we went into the studio I got a call from his guy saying, ?OK, so we need potato chips and we need Jack Daniels, and it just reminded me of myself. And he came down with his bass and it was great.?

The disc also features Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, Adam Levine and the Black Eyed Peas? Fergie, who Slash recently teamed with at Clive Davis? Grammy party. ?I think people are gonna trip when they hear do the stuff that Fergie is capable of doing,? he says. ?I really wanted to do something with her so people could hear what her rock chops are like.?

Slash is currently assembling a rhythm section for his summer tour, but he?s hired Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy to handle the vocals. ?He can sing anything,? says Slash. ?It?s songs off this record and songs from Velvet Revolver and songs from Guns n? Roses and Snakepit and his band. It?ll be a really cool show.? So will fans be permitted to don Axl Rose T-shirts at Slash?s solo gigs? (A rumor that Rose vehemently denies claimed Slash-wear was banned from Guns n? Roses shows.) ?Yes, go ahead!?
