oh wow, adam levine?? I can imagine this being good, but both artists would have to bend to make it work. Slash couldn't just go full balls ahead with his rock stuff and Levine will hopefully go down the Not Comin' Home/Harder to Breathe route!

[Unrulyguitarist]

Sweet

[JBailey23]

@Declan87....the video trailer for the new album has a clip of them two playing their song

[ChucklesMginty]

Slash - Guitar

Woah, that came as a shock.

[MacMan2001]

IAN ASTBURY??? As in, he of The Cult?? Why did he not bring Billy Duffy?

OMG

[Lagunaguitar]

cant wait to hear track 2, 8, 10, and 14

hope they come to KC

[stndrdprcdre]

This is either going to be a work of brilliance or a complete piece of crap, given some of the names he's working with.

[NightEmbers]

F*ck Yes, Myles Kennedy is the biggest reason i wanna buy this album

i kinda just want to hear the whole album.. ya know?

toronto or london dates please!! im stoked for this tour

[Korzack]

I'm looking forward to this, but c'mon, over a month between US and UK release dates?
Already heard Paradise City, which was cool - should be a good 'Un.

[jannick]

hell yeah! paradise city as bonus track!! great song with fergie and cypress. different than the original. not necessarily better. but f-ing nice!

[Jack Darkley]

I think I've already said this, but Myles Kennedy in Velvet Revolver would be fine by me.

Yeah that would be awesome...but then Alter Bridge would go away...

That would not be ok

Agreed. Some of the guests look awesome, some look like shit. Theres no way I would pay money for an album with kid rock on it.

[LTDman90]

Agreed. I hope Alter Bridge keeps going! PLEASE!!!

[gary1991]

aaww, man. I was hoping to see duff playing the bass, and how cool would it be if grohl was on drums and iggy or someone was singing, that would be soo cool.
I guess I kinda knew that would never happen though, those ideas are always too good to be true.

[sav46e]

Hope he plays Download festival. I heard a while ago it was plan but you always hear things like that.

all songs are going to be well written and slash wouldnt have chose each singer unless they suited each song they are in.

def chose hte best singer out all of them to tour with as well

[Ibzman]

I love the fact that Myles Kennedy is in the band. Incredible singer.

[Lagunaguitar]

i might get some hate for saying this but...
i wish adam lambert was on the album. he and slash got along great during idol

[barrymiles]

i'm not even a slash fan and i'm stoked for this album, i mean, look at that line up! cornell, grohl, lemmy, kennedy...

[Deathbass89]

Is there some kind of quota UG has to fulfill every month regarding the amount of Slash headlining news.

[StratDune]

Nicole Scherzinger? wtf?

[Vauxite]

The track list is wrong. There's another song added, Track 4 is now now "Back From Cali" with Myles Kennedy. All the rest are moved along a track.

[3 days grace14]

MYLES KENNEDY BITCH

[killyerscene]

two songs with fergie? slash is officially blacklisted... not even lemmy can save you now!!!

[khakiapple]

i wanna see slash cover fergalicious. would be SEXY.

[Jøhnny]

14. Baby Can't Drive (Alice Cooper, Nicole Scherzinger)

Singing in the same song with Alice Cooper? What? o_Ö

[CoMeAgAiN]

Thats TiGhT! Slash is Sweet!

[thedarkblues06]

Holy crap. This is going to make my life. Need to save now for concert tickets.

[concho_valen]

10. Nothing To Say (M. Shadows) (5:27)

^i cant wait to hear it

[rockandmetalfan]

i cant wait

[mcraddict81592]

Kinda makes me wanna go to Rock On the Range...Cept for all the shit bands that play there..Though Coheed makes me wanna go way more, haha.

[test1cles]

Slash is overrated, and making not only one but two songs with Fergie is just... bleh.

YES

[Galvatron]

The best thing about this album is that there are no songs with Chad Krueger.

+100

[Waterboy799]

two words:

Myles

Kennedy

hell yea

[aig91]

Checked

[AlterMonte]

Myles Kennedy

Best singer out there. Enough said!

And Alter Bridge ****in' rocks!

[Big Spender]

For all those who have seen the album trailer, the songs which we rock fans (and metal and whatever else have you) generally think would suck, by singers such as Fergie and Adam Levine, actually sound awesome

[Lukef4098]

I wonder what it will be like

[ThatCostsMoney]

what happened to back to cali?

Jack White only said no b/c he didn't want to sing, he would do anything but sing and Slash wanted him to sing

Indeed, and then they'll wonder why it's being pirated more than would be usual.

[metalfr3ak666]

Alice cooper...and the chick from the pussycat dolls? LMAO. Can't wait for the album though.

[hanselrocks1]

im ready to hear 1,2,4,7,8,10,13,14

[vommitron]

[SLonergan]

I'm gonna get flamed...but Fergie can ****ing sing some Rock music. I know she's FERGIE, but listen to her ****ing voice. She kicks ass on material like this.

Shh. This is actually news, and is interesting.

[chaoticfables]

Myles Kennedy!

Awesome.

Haha genius comment!

Myles Kennedy ownes, but I guess that's allready the overall opinion!

And wtf with Fergie and Nicole? Guess Slash just wants to be 'cool' u know!

[pottsy_91]

who cares if he is doing songs with Nicole and Fergie, get over it

[crazysam23_Atax]

Lol, why? How stupid. This whole thing is stupid.

[Idiot_Son]

um... I'm pretty sure the album is called "R & F'n R", not "Slash"...?

Looking forward to the album though, don't know if I will like it so much to actually buy it though.

[deadlyminista]

That's a serious line up. Talk about a Bruce Wayne account some of this talent don't come cheap. I think two guitar players is enough someone has to really stand out on this album with three guitar players unless you're Iron Maiden.

I think Chad's got an awesome voice, so it's sorta funny how everyone seemed to bandwagon onto your comment.

No, it's a self-titled affair.

[SOADriff]

Having myles sing will be interesting..

[Deathsdoor99]

No Axl Rose collaboration?

I'm disappointed.
