SLASH 'At The Very Tail End Of The Demo Phase' For Solo Album

October 24, 2008

Former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash has told Billboard.com that he "at the very tail end of the demo phase" for his solo project, which he hopes to start recording early next year.

He began coming up with material during VELVET REVOLVER's last tour and says that while it will have references to his work with that band and GUNS N' ROSES, "there's really no particular direction. I just wanted to take a little bit of a break from all the politics and the democracy that is a band and just sort of do my own thing for a little bit. There will be a lot of stuff I don't have the freedom to do in a band situation."
