Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash has contributed a guitar solo to the forthcoming solo album from Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy. "As always, he knocked it out of the park!" Myles states. "They don't call him one of the best guitarists of all time for nothing."
Slash recently announced via his MySpace page that he has tapped Kennedy as the lead singer for his upcoming solo tour, which will take place this spring following the release of Slash's self-titled solo debut. Slash wrote, "Myles sang a killer track on the record and I think he is by far one of the best rock and roll singers out there today. I'm really honored and proud to be working with him. I will announce the other band members shortly."
Slash's solo album is due out on April 6 and features a guest vocalist on every track, including
Ozzy Osbourne,
M. Shadows,
Kid Rock,
Chris Cornell,
Dave Grohl,
Fergie and others in addition to
Kennedy.
Slash also added that the routing of his solo tour is underway, adding, "I want all my fans to follow me on Twitter and tell me what city/country they're from and to tell all their friends and family in that city/country, who are fans, to do the same. I want to get a really good idea on where my fans are, even the obvious major cities and focus the tour around that."
Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

My favourite rock singer, and favourite guitarist, IN ONE SHOW!
I cannot wait!
