They are playing an acoustic set tonight for a Guitar Center show that airs on Direct TV at some point I guess.

I saw this posted on an Alter Bridge site talking about it.

Looks like 2 news songs are being played in the set.

[WAR41]

I would not mind being in attendance for that one!

I was a little concerned about the lack of wallet chains myself

No shit! Who are the twins standing in the back? This band really needs a red haired singer and a blond rhythm section.

SLASH Taps 'Nothing To Fear' Director For 'You're A Lie' Video - Mar. 23, 2012

Legendary guitarist Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) is currently shooting a "dark" video for his new single, "You're A Lie", with director Anthony Leonardi III. Leonardi is also helming the first feature film produced by Slash, called "Nothing To Fear", which was recently picked up for distribution by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The movie is the first of a proposed series of horror films produced by Slash's company, called Slasher Films, which he launched last year in partnership with two other producers. The film began shooting last month in Louisiana, with Anne Heche and others confirmed for the cast.

A teaser for the "You're A Lie" clip can be seen below.

10 questions for Slash

The former Guns ?N Roses man speaks out  Talks about his new album, his love of Canadians and how his pet snake likes music

For a Guns ?N Roses survivor ? and someone who?s been saved by defibrillator paddles three times ? Slash looks awfully healthy sitting in his Toronto hotel suite on the eve of Canadian Music Week (CMW). 

You must like coming up for this event.

I love coming up here ?twice in three years ? but the timing for CMW is just something that sorta happens.

This album is billed as Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Why?

The first solo record I did was called Slash but when we took the band on the road, I called it Slash featuring Myles Kennedy (Slash?s singer). 

That became a bigger event than I expected. So when I thought about doing another record with Brent (Fitz, drummer) and Todd (Kearns, bassist, ex of Age of Electric), I needed to give some kind of credit to the guys who were the backline.

You seem to have a thing for hiring Canadians for your band.

Brent is from Ottawa, or Toronto? 

He?s gonna kill me. And Todd is from Vancouver.  He?s a great singer, too.

You recently appeared on the U.K. edition of Top Gear.  How was that?

It was OK although I couldn?t get the hang of the left-hand stick in the rain.  The Stig couldn?t understand why I had issues.

How did the commercials for the Los Angeles Zoo with Betty White come about?

Me and Betty are on the board for the zoo. There?s a new reptile exhibit and I?m a big reptile guy. We just thought it would be fun.

You got to play at Muhammed Ali?s 70th birthday celebration.

That was a tremendous honour.  He?s one of my idols.

You?ve done some recording with Steve Adler (GNR drummer in the Appetite for Destruction era).

I got him to play on my record and I promised that if he?d stay clean, I?d play on his.

Word is that your snake, Sam, really likes the new album, Apocalyptic Love (due May 22).

The first time through he just lay there. The second time he was all over the cage.  So I figure he either digs it or wants to move.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony:  what?s going to happen?

I don?t know. I?m just going to show up.

  chain wallets

and silver neck chains lol...and long hair(I can almost smell the hair dye).  At least they all are wearing their jackets so they don't get cold.   Just fucking around.  They all bring it, musically.

[SlashRxR]

I have no interest in this new album... just can't stand Myles' Vocals. A little too whiny for me. Anyone Else?

He's not quite on the Axl or even Weiland level, and is a bit generic...but he is still one of the better modern rock singers.  I think him and Slash are a good combo.  Just listened to "You're a Lie" for the 1st time today, and although I'm not crazy about his voice...he sounds good on the chorus and I like the lyrics.   I also really liked "Back to Cali"...he can still be a powerful singer.  Loved that version of Wild Horses too.
