The Rock Radio is reporting that Velvet Revolver and ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has posted an update at his MySpace page, announcing that he has commenced work on his new solo album.
Slash has revealed that he is recording the project with former Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese and ex-Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney, writing, “Things are going fantastic in the studio, Josh Freese and Chris Chaney are one hell of a rhythm machine and the guitar sound is FAT! Fucking Awesome Tone! All is going perfect so far. We start recording vocals today and I’m really excited about working with this particular individual; it’s going to be quite an event.”
The guitarist also addressed Velvet Revolver’s ongoing search for a replacement for singer Scott Weiland, who was dismissed from the band a year ago. Slash wrote, “There was a lot of talk about our announcing a new singer in March but it obviously didn’t happen. We had somebody that we thought was a really good candidate, but it just wasn’t meant to be. So, we’re still looking.”
Slash added that Velvet Revolver will perform again, adding, “We have a bunch of new material and we’re all anxious to get going, but the key ingredient for a rock n’ roll band such as VR is an amazing frontman, and we haven’t found the right man for the job, yet.”Here’s a Slash guitar version of ‘The Godfather’ theme for my good friend Mr. Cillino-
