Mistress Carrie of the Worcester/Boston, Massachusetts radio station
WAAF has posted the following message on her
official blog:
"One of the benefits of being the Music Director of
WAAF is hearing new music WAY before anyone else!
"Today I got a chance to hear some of the new
Slash [
VELVET REVOLVER/ex-
GUNS N' ROSES] album that will be released in March of 2010. We should have the new single (which is going to feature
Ozzy [
Osbourne] on lead vocals) in January!
"This song was AWESOME! And the lyrics are going to piss off
Axl and
BLACK SABBATH!
"I heard
Chris Cornell,
Kid Rock,
M. Shadows, and even
Fergie lending their voices to
Slash. They were all great! Also featured on the lineup…
Lemmy,
Iggy,
Alice Cooper,
Flea,
Duff,
Myles Kennedy and, you guessed,
Dave Grohl!
"According to my 'source,'
Slash wrote the 'blueprint' for the songs with someone specific in mind. Then he asked that person to get involved and help write and record the track!
"Every song has a bit of
Slash and the other musicians in it… Very COOL!
"This album is going to be HUGE!"
Slash has just released a two-track CD single in Japan containing the song
"Sahara" (featuring singer
Koshi Inaba of the Japanese hard rock duo
B'Z) and a version of the
GN'R classic
"Paradise City" (featuring
CYPRESS HILL and
Fergie [a.k.a.
Stacy Ann Ferguson] of the
BLACK EYED PEAS).
Slash recently told
MusicRadar.com that he got almost every special guest he wanted to appear on his upcoming solo album, except for one:
WHITE STRIPES singer/guitarist and
DEAD WEATHER drummer
Jack White.
Slash revealed, "I wanted to get
Jack White to sing on something, but he didn't want to sing. He said I'll play drums, I'll play guitar, but I don't wanna sing. He was one guy that I wanted to work with. Pretty much everyone else that I went after I managed to get."
"Slash" will see
Roadrunner Records enter into a unique and innovative association with a U.K. media partner — the special-interest media group
Future. In a brand new concept in record distribution the standard album release will be preceded by a "fan pack," in which the
Roadrunner Records album will be bundled together with a highly collectable special issue of
Future Publishing's
Classic Rock magazine dedicated to
Slash's career. This will be the first format of the album available anywhere in the world.
Slash tracked most of the CD with former
NINE INCH NAILS drummer
Josh Freese and ex-
JANE'S ADDICTION bassist
Chris Chaney.
"Sahara" (featuring singer
Koshi Inaba of the Japanese hard rock duo
B'Z):
