SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) and Andrew Stockdale of WOLFMOTHER will be shooting a music video for the new Slash song 'By The Sword' next Saturday, April 3rd, and Sunday, April 4th, in the Los Angeles area. The band would like fans to be a part of it with the following requirements:

We're looking for 75 male/female extras, 18-22 years old of all ethnicities.

Punk/Rock 'n Roll types preferred as this will take place in a concert crowd/mosh pit setting.

We'll need you to be available for a long day of 12-14 hours, as you guys will be a major creative factor in the video. We will need people to crowd surf and slide down a tube.

All of this will require people prepared to take clear direction.

Please note there is no pay involved, however, we will provide lunch and drinks.

Important: Extras must be willing to get dirty in their own clothing.

If you would like to be a part of this awesome music video that will get some great exposure, please submit full name, photo, age, and cell number to: slashmusicvideo@gmail.com."

Slash will be releasing his upcoming solo album, Slash, in the US on April 6th via EMI and in Canada via Universal Music. In the UK the album is due out on May 10th through Roadrunner Records. Check out a newly-released media player promoting the album below:

The new Slash instrumental track called 'Watch This' featuring Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS) and bandmate Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-Guns N' Roses) is available for free download below.

Slash spoke to BraveWords.com recently about the track: "There was no plan to do an instrumental and I had been chasing Dave Grohl down to sing that song for months, and originally it was this cool riff and like a couple different parts and it didn’t have any real arrangement. And I finally got Dave and he’s like, 'you know, the reason I’ve been sort of dodging you is I don’t wanna sing it.' He goes, 'I hate singing other people’s stuff. I did it once and it was a disaster. I wanna play drums.' So, you know, I was like, 'okay, you know what, maybe we’ll make this the instrumental ‘cause I just want to do something with Dave.' And I sat down and I did a demo of it with the vocal in my head, sort of did the vocal lines on the guitar. And just slapped it together, called Duff up, asked him if he wanted to play it, got Duff and I and Dave in the studio. And I think that was like 3, maybe the fourth take and that was it."
