Slash Discusses Solo Work, Obama
Slash is getting ready for a busy fall that includes a new solo record and deciding who he will vote for in the elections. The Velvet Revolver guitarist tells NME Radio that he's recruited several vocalists to appear on his solo effort, but is keeping the guest list a secret. Slash said he had been carrying a tape recorder with him during Velvet Revolver's touring earlier this year and when he returned from their European trek this summer he liked what he heard and decided to proceed with a new disc. The guitarist also opened up about his thoughts on the upcoming elections. Slash says he's a Barack Obama supporter. He joked, quote, "I think Obama's great. It's the first time in eight years I've heard somebody speak English." The guitarist added that he thought it was great to have an intelligent candidate and he agrees with most of Obama's ideas, though there is some that concern him, and he feels the Illinois senator is the best candidate for president. |
