Guitarist Slash (VELVET REVOLVER) is featured in a new interview with Ivan Chopik at GuitarMessenger.com. An excerpt is available below.

Q: I’m glad you’re doing well, because Fergie does kill you at the end of your new video!

Slash: "Yeah, right? [laughs]"

Q: I think the title ‘Beautiful Dangerous’ really sums up that video, and I know that you’ve mentioned that Fergie has a dark side before. Surely this must be it.

Slash: "I think I’m a great outlet for Fergie to be able exorcise some shit that she doesn’t get away with in the THE BLACK EYED PEAS. I wrote another song with her – when we did ‘Beautiful Dangerous’ we also did this other song, which brought out a side of Fergie that I never had before. It was just really hardcore. I was like: ‘Wow!’ It will be interesting. When she does her solo rock record at some point, it’ll be very telling to people of the different sides of Fergie, besides the celebrity side that you see in The Black Eyed Peas."

Q: What was the whole experience like on your end for shooting that video?

Slash: "We shot it all one day, basically – except for the live footage that they tacked on there. It was actually one of the most painless videos I’ve ever shot, because we just went in and did the takes and everything was moving very fast. The director was very pro, and there wasn’t too much sitting around and waiting. So all things considered, that was the main thing. Fergie was great – she knew exactly what she was doing. The overall concept of the video was her idea anyway, so she knew exactly the character that she was playing. Basically all I had to do was show up – so all things considered, it was fun."

As previously reported, on this week’s episode of That Metal Show, hosts Jim Florentine, Don Jamieson, and Eddie Trunk sit down with legendary GUNS N' ROSES guitarist SLASH to discuss the DVD release of Back From Hell: A Tribute To Sam Kinison. The group not only discuss the DVD but Kinison’s impact on both the comedy and hard rock worlds.

Check out a preview below.

Co-host and comedian Don Jamieson said this about the experience - “As a comedian, I feel that there have been very few comics who have pushed the boundaries of comedy like Sam and even fewer that bridged the gap between rock n’ roll and comedy like Sam. As a That Metal Show host, I am proud to support Back From Hell. It’s a must-see tribute to a legendary comic.”

This clip in particular features Slash recalling stories from the set of Sam’s video for 'Wild Thing'. Which had cameos by many rock icons, including Slash who was charged with swinging a guitar violently to smash it in an effort to give the video a good shot.

This episode of That Metal Show will premiere this Saturday, December 4th at 10 PM (EST) on VH1 Classic.
