Guns N Roses Music Tour Dates: Metalrage - News: Slash confirms .

Courtney Devores of The Charlotte Observer recently conducted an interview with legendary guitarist Slash (Velver Revolver, Guns N' Roses). A duo of excerpts from the chat follow below.The Charlotte Observer: For so long you were the guy behind the guitar, the hat or hair. Has social media let more of your personality or spirit of humor out?Slash: I don't know.

I don't actually get an idea as to what I'm supposed to be from any form of real perspective. People get their own idea. The cool thing about Twitter or Facebook was it's given me a fortune to get out to anybody who is implicated as opposed to having to issue press releases. or leaking stuff out to reliable sources. It puts you more in control of your own promotion or just to be more significant with fans in general.The Charlotte Observer: When did you realize Myles [Kennedy] was the [right singer] for [your solo] tour?Slash: When he came in and did the second (song) I view this is the only guy that could do all this material.stuff from the solo record and Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. Myles was just so capable. We didn't have any prior relationship. He happened to be on a break (from Alter Bridge). He accepted. At that point I simply had two weeks to do with a set and but a week of that I could communicate with Myles.The Charlotte Observer: Your experience with notorious singers is well known. Is personality something you consider?Slash: Beggars can't be choosers. The first most important matter is to get individuals who are musically capable and so you have to get into account whatever their personality is. It's something you need to convey within reason if they defend the way you need them to play. A lot of musicians are disturbed and that's what makes them great musicians.The Charlotte Observer: Where does Velvet Revolver stand on finding a new singer?Slash: There was truth to the rumour that we were looking at Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), but so I left for tour. So there's nothing being done at the moment. No decision. Read the entire interview from The Charlotte Observer.
