Re: Slash & Friends

...I have a wealth of respect for your musical knowledge Cosmic, but I'm afraid I can't stand Axl Rose...he is ...well I have a word to describe him that Magic doesn't like so I'll refrain from using it.

Appetite For Destruction, begins and ends my G 'n R collection.

Aww....that's a shame....While a lot of people probably think I'm insane Axl is one of my favorite singers. He's just so distinctive and for whatever reason I'm hooked. Unlike Brain Johnson and Joe Cocker and other really gritty singers Axl has more depth to his voice that could be showcase by songs ranging all the way from "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Coma" all the way to the softer side of "Patience" and "November Rain".

Just a bit of an update on this: A final LP has reached the approval stage and if it is approved then it'll be released shortly.

The first single off "Slash & Friends", "By The Sword", featuring Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.

I think it's a very solid rock song and I'm really excited about it's release because I'd imagine that means the album itself will be coming out soon.

Also I'm glad that my prediction was wrong because I swore the first single would feature the guy from Maroon 5.

Re: Slash & Friends

I like Wolfmother so Stockdale being involved is a good thing. I'll just keep reading your updates in here Cosmic for the Official release info.

Here's a press release on another new song Slash plays on...

GLOBAL SOUND LODGE

NEW SINGLE “HANDS TOGETHER” FOR HAITI FEATURING SLASH
ON ITUNES, AMAZON, NAPSTER, RHAPSODY AND EMUSIC

Hollywood, CA (February 26, 2010) — GLOBAL SOUND LODGE, a new musical consciousness comprising musicians Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) and Lanny Cordola in partnership with Brendan Morrissey and Star Biz Management, have released their debut single, “Hands Together,” featuring a guest appearance by Slash.

Through many experiments and communions over the years, Sorum and Cordola felt a calling to explore a deeper sonic terrain. Now, in 2010, a transcontinental vision has emerged: Uniting musicians from around the world to form GLOBAL SOUND LODGE (GSL) — a tribe of peacemaking musical provocateurs whose aim is to create music with a social, spiritual and moral conscience, while offering melodies to those caught in the grips of poverty and social upheaval.

“Our first single ‘Hands Together’ was written for the Haitian people in this time of tragedy in their homeland,” says Sorum. “We are building a group of international musicians with varied humanitarian efforts based on situations around the world that need our attention.”

Taking their cues from sonic avatars John Coltrane and John Lennon, Cordola explains that GSL “excavates profound musical truths to create a new consciousness of social justice, cosmic harmony, spiritual unity and reverence for the earth.”

In addition to the new single, GSL have recorded songs inspired by Aung San Suu Kyi, a leader of the nonviolent movement for human rights and democracy in Burma, and Neda Agha-Soltan, who was killed during the Iranian elections of 2009.

“After many years traveling the world playing music and meeting so many people,” Sorum continues, “we believe it is in us all to come together with love and music to help one another.”

Plans are also underway for Global Sound Lodge to hit the road this summer and raise awareness for various causes worldwide with a series of song cycles and multimedia live performances.

Re: Slash & Friends

Oh bloody hell. Seems they announce the release date without me knowing. Turns out the album comes out on April 6th in the US and May 10th in the UK. Also it seems they have dropped the "& Friends" from the title so now it's just self titled.

Here is the album cover and the track listings:






Standard Edition

1. "Ghost" (feat. Ian Astbury & Izzy Stradlin) 3:34
2. "Beautiful Dangerous" (feat. Fergie) 4:35
3. "Nothing to Say" (feat. M. Shadows) 5:27
4. "Crucify the Dead" (feat. Ozzy Osbourne) 4:04
5. "Promise" (feat. Chris Cornell) 4:41
6. "By the Sword" (feat. Andrew Stockdale) 4:50
7. "Doctor Alibi" (feat. Lemmy) 3:07
8. "Saint is a Sinner Too" (feat. Rocco DeLuca) 3:28
9. "Watch This" (feat. Dave Grohl & Duff McKagan) 3:46
10. "I Hold On" (feat. Kid Rock) 4:10
11. "Gotten" (feat. Adam Levine) 5:05
12. "We're All Gonna Die" (feat. Iggy Pop) 4:30
13. "Starlight" (feat. Myles Kennedy) 5:35

Classic Rock Slashpack Edition

14. "Baby Can't Drive" (feat. Alice Cooper, Nicole Scherzinger, Steven Adler & Flea)
15. "Paradise City" (feat. Fergie & Cypress Hill)

Japanese version

14. "Sahara" (feat. Koshi Inaba)

Australian version

14. "Chains and Shackles" (feat. Nick Oliveri)


So from the looks of things Meat Loaf didn't quite make the cut but adding Ian Astbury and Lemmy in there at the last minute is pretty good. They're no Meat Loaf but I do like both their voices in their own respects.

Re: Slash & Friends

A track-by-track guild to Slash's entire album where talks about working along side some of his heroes, reuniting with former Guns N' Roses members, and recording with many current stars that are still rising.

I must say, I'd've preferred it if Slash had actually been able to get Jack White to sing on the song "Starlight" (like he originally wanted) instead of Myles Kennedy. Now I've not actually heard the song so I don't know how Kennedy did but I like Jack voice and I think it would've been awesome for his and Slash to collaborate.
