May 2010 saw rock icon Slash release his debut solo album “Slash” on Roadrunner Records. The album features an all-star roster of guest musicians and Slash also enlisted the services of producing partner Eric Valentine (Queens of Stone Age, The All-American Rejects) and compiled a rhythm section of bassist Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction) and drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails). Slash handled the majority of arranging and songwriting duties and hand-picked each guest artist. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and saw Slash headlining a sold out UK tour as well as show stealing performances at Download, Glastonbury and Wireless festivals in the UK.
"The song that Fergie sings on the record (Beautiful Dangerous) is a very hard rock song and was written to a stripper kind of beat, tailor-made for a girl that has balls. Her singing blew my mind…she’s got this killer rock ‘n’ roll voice” – Slash on Fergie
Roadrunner are set to release “Beautiful Dangerous” as a single in early 2011. The single features a stunning vocal performance from Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) and an equally compulsive video. The track is sure to become one of the singles of 2011.
To tie in with the single release, Roadrunner are also set to release a special edition of the Slash album in a 1 cd/1 dvd format. The CD will feature the full album plus exclusive acoustic versions of “Back To Cali” (Slash), “Fall To Pieces” (original by Velvet Revolver) and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (originally GnR) all featuring Myles Kennedy on vocals.
