I thought this deserved it's own thread...I'm speechless.

Hey, how is everybody?
Things are ramping up towards the release of my solo record, there's a lot of cool shit going on.

But, more importantly, there is the George Lopez's "Help Haiti Benefit" show at the Nokia Theater tomorrow night. I am performing a couple songs with Beth Hart. Who, if you are not familiar with her is a 1st rate blues/R&R singer/song writer. But go to click here for the list of special guests & click here to get tickets.
Raising cash for devastated Haiti has to be at the forefront of everybody's minds right now & will need to be for some time so we can help them rebuild.

On another note, Ernie Ball, Guitar Center & I have a couple new campaigns, the details of which are at ernieball.com & yournextrecord.com. I'm really into the idea of inspiring young guitar players & discovering new talented R&R bands & unleashing them unto the world. Up & coming Rock & Roll talent is getting largely overlooked in the business these days & I want to change that.

Also, I want to announce that Myles Kennedy is going to be fronting the band for the upcoming tour. Something I'm really stoked about. Myles sang a killer track on the record & I think he is by far one of the best Rock & Roll singers out there today. I'm really honored & proud to be working with him. I will announce the other band members shortly.

Lastly, we're starting to route the tour. I want all my fans to follow me on Twitter & tell me what city/country they're from & to tell all their friends & family in that city/country, who are fans, to do the same. I want to get a really good idea on where my fans are, even the obvious major cities & focus the tour around that. So if you're from Alaska or Zimbabwe or anywhere in between I want to hear from you. Follow me at Twitter.com/slashhudson

That's it, I'm excited about the new record & about the band I'm putting together for the tour. I've been jamming around town with everybody & their brother for the last year & I can't wait to get out & do my own show finally. It's going to be a gas.

See you soon,
Slash iiii|; ),

Wow, awesome news. What band is it that Myles is gonna be singing for? GNR? Velvet Revolver? Some new band?

[Dark_Knight]

I'm actually not a big fan of this.... I mean, good for Myles, it's a great marketing thing, but Slash is highly overrated.... Let's hope this doesn't take away from the possibility of Myles doing a solo tour with his own backing band...

Slash confirmed that they'll be playing stuff from AB, GNR, VR, Snakepit & Myles' solo stuff on the tour. I'm anxious to hear what AB songs they choose to do...to be honest I'm not really for it because no one can play them like Mark and the rest of the guys but ah well.

I expect AB fans to be angry then? Because they sure were when Stapp went solo and played Creed songs.

[Dark_Knight]

Yeah it's not going over too well... but we'll see. I have no idea why Slash would want to do that though, I could maybe see Myles busting out an acoustic version of one of AB's tunes, it's just weird.

[Dark_Knight]

Update from Slash...

"Will have Asian & Australian tour dates in about a week. Then Europe, then South America."

[BSC]

I'm not against Slash playing AB stuff, but it'll be incredibly weird!

I'm not gonna bother posting on ABB.net, I haven't checked over there yet, but I can only just imagine what it's like after this news.

[Dark_Knight]

Another update...

"US tour will be in the Fall. Australia includes NZ. Discussing S. Africa & other countries."

its is perculiar indeed im sure it will go over just fine never count your chickens before they hatch slash is established enough to pull of in the rock circut to pull of anything he wants And is well use to small time critcs and so forth so i really dont think they gloom ya,alls matters much Time Went By And All When Up Smoke I dont see a probleam wit it Im Just HAPPY To See Everybody Working Together Thanks Dark Knight For Posting The Tour Dates AND AS ALWAYS :rockon:

[Agent D]

Well, on the flip side, Alter Bridge has covered GNR, right?

[BSC]

Myles Kennedy played Sweet Child O' Mine acoustically at Bofest. Alter Bridge themselves have covered Sweet Child O' Mine, I have an audio of it, and I can't say it was very good, unfortunately.

well i have,nt heared it so i cant say but i will say this sweet child is hard tune to cover really hard Crow Pulled It Off With Her Own Style And Another Hard Cover Tune To Pull Of Is Hurt By Elvis Neither Are Easy Done So A Lot Luck To Those Trying To Capture The Sound Of Were They Are Going With It First One Must Feel Before Ya Force Anything It Seems To Come Together Better :rockon:

Well, quality aside, I'm sure no one complained at the time. Isn't it kind of a compliment that Slash would want to play Tremo's music?

[Buried And Gone]

Why would they play AB songs? Its a slash show. Do they bust out fuel songs at Riders of the Storm shows? Plus Nagpo is right. AB fans shit a brick when Stapp played Creed songs live. It's a double standard.

yes indeed brother i do see your point but these are the days when many cross overs do in fact emerge If Taylor Swift And Stevie Nicks Can sing it out together which is one of my Influnces i can bare it ya,alls double standards are in fact fading :rockon: ya,alls we owe to this to the king of rock n roll so dont get all shook up From Rock To Country To Gospel :laugh: the chemestry is magic ya,alls so let it flow
