Slash

[cornucopia]

Fourtherizing it.

Quite a few of the special guests are already doing Donington (sorry if this has already been mentioned). Not sure if Fergie will get announced though. Perhaps special guest to Rage.....

[Spengs Muck]

What did you guys think to the first single off this album?

Thats it if you havent heard it. Its featuring Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.

I wasnt bothered at first but the song has grown on me quite a bit.

Thats the first time I've heard it, It's pretty good.

Clicked on the 'The makin' of ..' link it seems like album has a good sound until I heard Cypress Hill pissing all over Slash's past by attempting and epicly failing to add vocals to Paradise City, Even Fergie sounded ok on it.

[Spengs Muck]

yeah the paradise city is only a bonus track and due to legal reasons its being wiped off the UK classic rock pre-sale version

so it might get dropped all together, it was awful.

[armthehomeless]

I think that people were a little harsh on that one, it didn't sound bad at all to me.

Though maybe I'm just saying that out of nostalgia for what Cypress used to sound like - put Temples of Boom era B-Real on it, cut out Fergie completely and I'd love it.

[LethalLegacy]

Heard the track with Andrew Stockdale this morning. Wasn't impressed - musically wasn't very exciting, and Stockdale's vocals just grate on my ears. Guess its going to be pick and mix with this album.

Didn't see it on here yet...

Slash has self confirmed via twitter. He's also playing Wireless & Glaso apparently.

Saw it on the official forums...Cracking news IMO.

[luckysalt]

I can't see jack shit on twitter

EDIT - reading it, its two apparent direct messages to two different people, although the first pic is titled LOLZH when you save it, so im more than a little unconvinced.

I hope it's true, but I don't believe it yet

[Spengs Muck]

yeah we went over this in the 'next announcement' thread.

There seems to be a few twitter hoaxes around.

Im really digging that starlight tune, maybe just me though

yeah scroll down 1st page http://forums.downloadfestival.co.uk/m4506493.aspx

[Spengs Muck]

bottom line is slash would have to actually follow that guy to send him a direct message. Thats how twitter works.

And i really dont think he would.

[Spengs Muck]

Seems like quite a bluesy album, dont think it'll be to everyones taste really and a whole bunch of people will be disapointed. I think its pretty good though. Quite surprised by the Fergie song, her voiced worked better than i thought it would.

[LethalLegacy]

Slash confirmed for Rock Am Ring. A shoe-in for Download?

[luckysalt]

AC has just twittered this

''So I'm hearing Slash and Zebrahead are making noises they are playing Download?? Hmmm...interesting''

[luckysalt]

He's also been announced for Nova Rock today [same weekend as Download]

[the_mars_volta]

The album is streaming in full here

http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/15

My favourite so far is the Fergie song lol. Does anyone else think she sounds like Axl Rose?!

Edited April 2, 2010 by the_mars_volta

[t8yman]

its leaked all over the place now anyway.

[dan666]

It might be good, but these guests wont be at Download so who will be singing? Himself for all of it?

Had a quick listen, With all these guests the first half of the album doesn't even sound like him!

2nd half of the album however is alot better.

Edited April 4, 2010 by dan666

[jackass]

i dont think if he plays he will be anything special

[Ravislayer]

yeh probably a very good shout, would love to see slash do some solo stuff.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I've heard Slash is playing Friday Main Stage from several different people so I reckon he will be.
