SLASH - Next Solo Album To Feature ALTER BRIDGE's Myles Kennedy "Handling All The Vocals"
November 21, 2010, 14 years ago
SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) spoke with Paul Cole from Sundaymercury.net recently about a number of topics including his UK upbringing and more recently, working with BLACK EYED PEAS diva Fergie, who appears on the guitarist's latest solo venture.
The song they recorded together, 'Beautiful Dangerous', is being released as a single in the New Year – and Slash says it’s not as unlikely as it might appear to the uninitiated.
“To many people, Fergie wasn’t an obvious choice for me to work with,” he says. “But, you see, I just knew she had a dynamite rock and roll voice. I’d heard her doing a rock medley at a Black Eyed Peas gig, and she was belting out the lyrics.“I thought: 'Hell, yeah!' After that I did a bunch of gigs with Black Eyed Peas. They were including 'Sweet Child O’ Mine' in the set, and you should have heard her sing that. I think she’s the best woman rock and roll singer I’ve heard in the last 20 years. So when I came up with a song that required a woman’s touch, it was natural I should call. We’re going to work together again. There was another song we cut during the sessions for the album, and she liked it so much that she plans to use it on a solo album of her own. It’s going to be a real rock and roll album, and I’ll be delighted to play on it.”
There’ll also be another solo album, with ALTER BRIDGE frontman Myles Kennedy handling all the vocals.
