SLASH Rehearsing With Solo Band; Video Available
March 24, 2010Video footage of former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash rehearsing with three members of his solo band — rhythm guitarist Bobby Schneck (WEEZER, GREEN DAY),drummer Brent Fitz (ALICE COOPER, VINCE NEIL),and bass player Dave Henning (BIG WRECK)— can be viewed below. Slash's touring band, which will take to the road this spring in support of the guitarist's self-titled debut solo album, will also include vocalist Myles Kennedy from ALTER BRIDGE.
Slash told The Pulse of Radio that he's really pleased to have Kennedy singing on the tour. "He was one of these sort of youngish rock singers that I wasn't real familiar with, who is probably one of the best, you know, young new rock 'n' roll singers around," he said. "There's actually two songs on the record that he did, and he can basically perform any other songs on the record, plus he knows how to do all the GUNS N' ROSES stuff. So it's worked out nicely."
Slash's solo album is due out on April 6. To kick off the release, Slash will be the featured performer at Revolver Golden Gods Awards, with several of his album collaborators making special guest appearances. Slash will also make a series of late-night performances with talk show hosts Jay Leno, George Lopez and Craig Ferguson.
