August 9, 2009, 15 years ago
Artisan News reports that WOLFMOTHER's Andrew Stockdale recently wrote and recorded a song with SLASH in Los Angeles. The tune is expected to appear on the former GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER guitarist's forthcoming solo album.
According to Stockdale, "Well he (Slash) just reached out. His manager sent an email through and asked if I'd be interested and I was honored. Honored to play with Slash. So when we got to L.A. to make the Wolfmother record, after the session of doing Wolfmother songs, Slash dropped in one night and we just sat there with an acoustic and went through the song."
"It was really, really like an incredible experience to write with Slash. He's a cool guy. He moves really fast too. His creative process had me on my toes. He's very alert with what he's looking for and how a song needs to move."Video footage of Andrew talking about working with Slash can be seen here.
Stockdale joins a long list of guest performers on Slash's album, including: OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK EYED PEAS vocalist FERGIE, former Gunners IZZY STRADLIN and STEVEN ADLER, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist FLEA and guitarst RONNIE WOOD of THE ROLLING STONES, in addition to mainstay musicians CHRIS CHANEY, ex-JANE'S ADDICTION on bass and GN'R's JOSH FREESE on drums.
As previously reported, Slash has stated, "I've been recording my solo record since the end of April, its basically done, we start mixing soon. It is a very cool record, I must say."
The album's title and release date have not yet been announced.
