SLASH On 'Chinese Democracy', VELVET REVOLVER Singer Search

November 4, 2008

Former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash has told BBC News that he is pleased that GN'R's long-awaited album is finally going to see the light of day.

"Chinese Democracy", which has been over a decade in the making, will be released in the U.S. exclusively through Best Buy on November 23.

Slash said: "I'm glad it's finally coming out after all this time. It's good to hear Axl's [Rose] voice again. That's what's cool. But I'm not in the band and I haven't had any input into the record."

Asked whether there is any chance of the band getting back together in the future, he added: "You know what everybody asks the same question. But how the fuck would I know?"

Slash added that his current band VELVET REVOLVER was continuing its singer search following the departure of Scott Weiland quit earlier this year.

"We're trying to find a singer for VELVET REVOLVER still," Slash said. "We've got a lot of really good ones but I don't know if we've found the guy yet but it's plodding along and I'm trying to get that together."
