SLASH Autographed Items Being Auctioned For Charity

September 17, 2009

VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash is auctioning off an autographed top hat, book and photo for charity.

This auction is part of the Steve Vai "Where The Wild Things Are" DVD charity release party.

All proceeds from this auction will benefit Hollywood Arts.

The mission of Hollywood Arts a school that takes homeless and at risk teens off the streets and gives them creative tools to explore and express their artistic potentials.

Slash tracked his new solo record with former NINE INCH NAILS drummer Josh Freese and ex-JANE'S ADDICTION bassist Chris Chaney. Confirmed guest singers so far include Ozzy Osbourne and AVENGED SEVENFOLD's M. Shadows. The CD was produced by Eric Valentine (GOOD CHARLOTTE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE) and features additional appearances by ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist Flea. Freese told MusicRadar.com that Iggy Pop, Fergie (a.k.a. Stacy Ann Ferguson) of the BLACK EYED PEAS and Chris Cornell (SOUNDGARDEN, AUDIOSLAVE) will also appear on the LP. Working songtitles include "We're All Gonna Die", "These Last Words", "Crucify The Dead" and "Beautiful, Dangerous".

Slash left GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s, forming SLASH'S SNAKEPIT before later assembling VELVET REVOLVER with several other ex-members of GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland (who was dismissed in April 2008).
