SLASH Performs National Anthem At Dodger Stadium; Video Footage, Photos Available
October 9, 2009VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash performed the U.S. national anthem yesterday (Thursday, October 8) at Dodger Stadium just prior to the Major League Baseball playoff game two between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Video footage of his performance can be viewed at MLB.com. Photos are available here.
Slash has spent the last few months recording material for his forthcoming solo album, which will be released under the "Slash & Friends" banner. He says, "the [record] is in its mixing stage and the mixes to this point sound great. We have recorded 18 songs, with one more I want to track in the next couple weeks." He adds, "the record is still slated for a February/March release."
Slash tracked most of the CD with former NINE INCH NAILS drummer Josh Freese and ex-JANE'S ADDICTION bassist Chris Chaney. Confirmed guest singers so far include Ozzy Osbourne, AVENGED SEVENFOLD's M. Shadows and Chris Cornell (SOUNDGARDEN, AUDIOSLAVE). 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, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist Flea and former NIRVANA drummer and current FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl.
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).
