Metalrage - News: Slash confirms Velvet Revolver is 'looking .

Courtney Devores of The Charlotte Observer recently conducted an audience with legendary guitarist Slash (Velver Revolver, Guns N' Roses). A pair 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 feel of humor out?Slash: I don't know.

I don't really have an estimate as to what I'm supposed to be from any sort of real perspective. People get their own idea. The cool thing about Twitter or Facebook was it's given me a fortune to make out to anybody who is concerned as opposed to having to issue press releases. or leaking stuff out to reliable sources. It puts you more in command of your own promotion or simply to be more substantial 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 manage all this material.stuff from the solo record and Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. Myles was hardly so capable. We didn't give any prior relationship. He happened to be on a break (from Alter Bridge). He accepted. At that place I just had two weeks to practice with a set and but a week of that I could pass with Myles.The Charlotte Observer: Your experience with notorious singers is easily known. Is personality something you consider?Slash: Beggars can't be choosers. The first most significant matter is to get individuals who are musically capable and then you give to get into account whatever their personality is. It's something you want to take within reason if they represent the way you need them to play. A lot of musicians are sick 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 full interview from The Charlotte Observer.
