Gisteren op de radio gehoord en ben dan maar meteen op zoek gegaan.
In 't kort: Slash werkt aan een nieuw solo-album met Stevne Adler, Flea (bassist van de Red Hot Chili Peppers), Ozzy Ozbourne, Iggy Pop,...
Guitarist Slash, formerly of Guns N’ Roses and current guitarist for Velvet Revolver, has been teasing fans about a solo record for some time now and it appears he’s finally about to finish it.
The guitarist posted an update on his MySpace to let fans know how things are shaping up in the studio. He writes, "Hey all, what's happening? Everything's good on this end. It has been a pretty productive summer so far. My record should be done next month & the recording has gone smoothly & sounds fucking great."
"[Former Guns N’ Roses drummer] Steven Adler played on the 1st of the last 3 tracks yesterday, along with [Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist] Flea on bass. The song kicks ass & the drums & bass sound so recognizable & sound so fucking good," he adds. "Steven is staying clean, which is great, Flea is just amazing, period. Steven, Flea & I all lived & met in the same neighborhood in West Hollywood back in the day. Yesterday, we had a great time reminiscing about when we all 1st started playing Rock & Roll & how school didn't fit into the plan, we were like 15. Flea was the 1st one to join an ‘established’ band called "Anthem," I remember being envious. I had a band called ‘Tidus Sloan’ but we didn't have a singer. Sound familiar? Steven & I didn't really have a band together until a few years later when we joined [Motley Crue bassist] Nikki Sixx's old band "London" after Izzy [Stradlin, former Guns N’ Roses guitarist] left. Which, incidentally, was very short lived."
He continues, "Izzy came down & played on a track a couple weeks ago, that sounds great too. It was good to see him, it's been awhile. Our guitars together really do have a sound all their own. Besides having some friends of Eric Valentine's come down from Northern California & play cello & violin on a track, I haven't had any other guest musicians so far. Having Flea, Steven & Izzy play has been a real gas. There might be a couple more surprise musicians on this record I think."
Slash recently performed his first solo show at the Quart Festival in Norway on June 30. His band included the likes of John 5 on guitar and Jason Bonham on drums and included guest appearances by Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, and Ronnie Wood. Ozzy, Fergie, and Ronnie have all been confirmed to be making appearances on the album.
