Slash Takes Control
Slash is ready to be the host instead of the guest. The guitarist tells Billboard.com after years of being asked to help out on other people's albums, he wanted to do something on his own. He says, quote, "I just wanted to get different people I admired and thought were great on my record. I'd been doing that on other people's records forever." Avenged Sevenfold vocalist M. Shadows is one of the guests and the singer adds, quote, "You can tell he's doing the record as a way to try different things. He definitely branched out, and the result is all over the place. But the guitar playing is so obviously Slash. That holds it all together." Slash says he had no preconceived idea of who he wanted on the album, and notes he waited until he had some music ideas before approaching his potential guests. The cameo-filled collection, titled "Slash," is due April 6th. |
