Legendary
VELVET REVOLVER/ex-
GUNS N' ROSES guitarist
Slash has posted the following message on his official
Twitter profile:
"Driving around listening to the analog mixes of my solo record, I gotta say it sounds awesome. The whole self-titled record was recorded analog.
"It will be released March/April. Tour starts around then too. It will be released in all formats, including vinyl."
According to
The Pulse of Radio,
Slash recently took to
Twitter to defend
BLACK EYED PEAS singer
Fergie's (a.k.a.
Stacy Ann Ferguson) vocal performance on a new recording she did with
Slash of the
GUNS N' ROSES classic
"Paradise City", also featuring
CYPRESS HILL. A copy of the recording surfaced online earlier in the month (hear audio below), while
Slash is contemplating whether to include it on his new solo album. The former
GUNS guitarist tweeted, "Until now, not too many people have heard
Fergie sing rock & roll but she sings it better (than) most dudes I know. She's a screamer at heart."
Among the other guests appearing on the album are
Dave Grohl,
Flea,
Chris Cornell,
Duff McKagan,
WOLFMOTHER's
Andrew Stockdale,
Iggy Pop,
Alice Cooper,
Nicole Scherzinger,
Meat Loaf,
MAROON 5's
Adam Levine and
Ozzy Osbourne, who contributes vocals to the first single.
"Slash" will see
Roadrunner Records (the guitarist's European record label) 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.

CYPRESS HILL and
Fergie [a.k.a.
Stacy Ann Ferguson] of the
BLACK EYED PEAS):
