Former Guns N’ Roses and current Velvet Revolver guitarist, Slash, is working on a solo album along the lines of Carlos Santana’s recent work. Slash, who has worked as a guest guitarist with many well known singers, is now calling on them to come work with him on his album.
Slash is expected to be recording a new Velvet Revolver CD in 2009, but unless a singer is found to replace Scott Weiland, that won’t be happening. Weiland left the group earlier this year under less than friendly circumstances, and has rejoined with former band Stone Temple Pilots. Velvet Revolver was approached to do “Rock Star,” a reality show search for a new singer, but the band declined. So, with free time on his hands, Slash is preparing to go into the studio to record with several different, as yet unnamed, rock singers.
The guitarist told Billboard that he’s “at the very tail end of the demo phase” for the solo project, which he hopes to start recording early next year.
He began creating material during Velvet Revolver’s last tour and said that while it will have references to his work with that band and Guns N’ Roses, “there’s really no particular direction. I just wanted to take a little bit of a break from all the politics and the democracy that is a band and just sort of do my own thing for a little bit. There will be a lot of stuff I don’t have the freedom to do in a band situation.”
Slash plans to use different singers for each of the album’s songs but isn’t divulging who’s on the list yet. “They’re all sort of well-known singers,” he said. “It’s sort of like how I go play on a lot of other people’s records, so other people will just play on this one.”

Slash has guest-guitared with a wide variety of singers, so this album could have something to interest everyone. Having worked with such a range of people as Alice Cooper, Paulina Rubio, Daughtry, Rod Stewart and Michael Jackson, just to name a few, it could prove to be quite the eclectic set of tunes. Slash is a great guitar player and song writer, expect some equally great music to come from this endeavor.

1) Are her boobs not speaking to each other?
2) He looks like Gene Simmons. That’s not a good thing.

I used to have a major crush on this guy, but seeing him with his elderly rock star hair and standing next to his *ahem* interestingly dressed wife has cured me once and for all. Not to be rude, but she looks like she brought their twins with her in a trendy black baby sling – smart to show off your ultimate hollywood accessories at any red carpet event!

I used to think Slash was just the coolest thing ever. But then I found out he’s a whiny bitch who abandons the people who love him the most, who got him where he is today. I hope his CD bombs.

Ohhhhhh wow. I used to have a secret crush on Slash. He HAD that sort of dirty-bad-boy image. And now…well he sort of has the dirty thing down, but not in a good way. Looks like all that hard living caught up with him.
I can’t even comment on those boobs. They are really somethin’! Eeewwwww….

Yeah, Slash is cool. Yes he’s no longer a boy/man, but still looks good. His “missy” looks (real) I like that.
