Official Slash Twitter and Myspace Update Thread

[Naupis]

I figured I would start a Twitter page for Slash for those who are following him. Some of his various posts are scattered through other threads, but this avoids starting a new one for anytime he says something interesting. He has been updating it through the making of his album process, so we can use this thread to post updates. His most recent one from today was:

"Writing some string parts for one of the tunes tomorrow, should be interesting. #fb"

He also has his weekly Myspace update he does:

May 29, 2009 - Friday 

Weekly update
Hey all, how's it going? I've been really busy with recording etc, I haven't been keeping in touch.

Outside of working on the record things have been quiet. No VR updates as of this writing, but I'm anxious to see something happen with an amazing frontman for the band in the not too distant future, whoever that might be.

My gig at the Quart Fest is coming up in Norway, June 30th. Which, is starting to come together. I'll post who all's playing next week, but it's a great line-up & the songs so far are shaping up to be a really great set.

As far as the record goes, we're almost done with vocals, 2 more songs left & a couple odds & ends. Then, I can stand back & see what we've got. It is a fucking awesome ensemble, that much I do know, with brilliant performances from each & every singer. I do hope to have a release date soon, but I can assure you, as I said before, it won't be this year. It will, most definitely, be out be very early in the new year. Even though the recording process is almost done, the legal logistics involved with so many different artists takes a minute to iron out.

When the record is released I plan on posting what gear was used on what songs; guitars, amps etc. Although, most of it was done with one guitar & 2 amps. A lot of interesting mike set-ups though. The record is being recorded anolog as well, this might be one of the last rock & roll records to be recorded that way, no joke. So, of course, I have to release it on vinyl, as well as cd.

Right then, I guess that's it. I'll have the Quart Fest line-up for you guys next week & anything else that comes up as well, have a good one.

Ola Hudson
Hello all, as some of you may already know, my mom (Ola Hudson) died 6:30am last Friday morning of Lung Cancer. This is a difficult time, but I have to share with you that she was the sweetest, warmest, most loving human being I've ever known (next to my grandmother on her side), as well as one of the most creative & talented. She was also the coolest Rock & Roll mom a Rock junkie like myself could ever possibly want to have. She was responsible for exposing me to a lot of the music that would influence me as a musician growing up. As well as introducing me to "the life" & priming me to survive this crazy business that I'm now in. But more importantly, she turned me on to all different forms of art & the importance of artistic self expression & creative communication thru music & dance from as early on as I can remember. She really was all things artistic & creative personified & the world is a lesser place without her.

 I still haven't grasped fully that she is gone & this is going to take some time to process. But, I have gotten a lot of really genuine condolences from many of you & I want to tell you that I appreciate it more than you can possibly know. My family & I thank you for your support.

 Sincerely,
   Slash

Kind of awesome Slash took time to thank everyone for the support he's been getting when I know for myself making sure I found a computer and did a weekly Myspace update would be the last thing I would be worrying about. Let's hope this will serve as his inspiration to not fall off the wagon in any way. Steven said he quit smoking recently, probably because of having found this out. I hope he sticks with it as I am sure he thought of the effect losing him would have on his kids now that he is in that position with his mom.




Also, its a nit picky thing, but how about anyone who updates the thread with stuff from his Myspace/Twitter put the Update in Bold, so we know what part is Slash's stuff and then what our commentary is. It will help with organization I think.

"It WAS a kick ass band"?   

Someone should FYI him that Guns N' Roses didn't die with him and of the kick ass GNR-tours in the last four years, not to mention the evolved and epic album released 9 months ago!

It IS a kick ass band!!
