Slash Wrapping Up Solo Project

SlashSlash is finishing recording his solo album today.

The former guitarist said he’s recording the last song for his debut solo album - which will feature a number of guest vocalists - and can’t wait for the results to be released.

“It’s pretty much done. I’ve got a couple of songs left to mix and I’ve got one song left to record which I’m doing as soon as I leave here, after I head back tomorrow,” he said Monday at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards. “There’s quite a list of people on the album. I’m not publicly talking about who it is until all the ink is dried on all the different contracts, but the rumors are out there - you sort of know what’s going on.”

Those reportedly appearing on the album include ex Guns N’ Roses bandmate Steven Adler, Black Eyed Peas’ vocalist Fergie, , Chris Cornell, Flea, Dave Grohl and Cyprus Hill on a new version of “Paradise City.”

“There will be some people from the pop business that people are surprised that I’m using, and there’s also some real rock n roll people with pop guises,” Slash added.

The “It’s So Easy” guitarist also said he only drew up his wish list of singers when he had written the songs for the record.

“When I was actually doing the writing of the songs I didn’t have singers. But then, when I had finished them, I thought ‘you know who would sound good on this…’ and that’s how it would start,” he explained.

Slash’s self-titled debut album will be released early next year.
