Slash is all good with technology. But he’s seen the negative side of it creeping into how albums are made these days. “You’ve got a lot of bands that don’t even actually go to the studio to record a record,” he tells UCR. “I can name a dozen of them.” But he’s not naming names today. Instead, he’s celebrating the fact that Orgy of the Damned, his first blues album, recently made its debut at No. 1 on the blues album charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. It landed in the Top 10 in five other countries around the world. Even after all of his successes, this latest milestone caught him off guard....

Michael Schenker has recruited Slash and ex-Skid Row singer Erik Gronwall for an updated version of UFO‘s “Mother Mary,” the first single off his upcoming retrospective album My Years With UFO. You can listen to the song below. Originally released in 1975 on UFO’s fourth album Force It, “Mother Mary” sports a titanic groove and no shortage of punchy riffs. Schenker and Slash trade leads on the new version, while Gronwall hits plenty of the piercing high notes that made him a vocal phenom ever since he won Swedish Idol in 2009.

Slash paid a visit to Los Angeles’ famed Amoeba Music on Wednesday to play a stripped-down acoustic set in support of his new blues covers album, Orgy of the Damned.

According to Slash, Guns N’ Roses are at work on a new album and he’s involved in the process. “Guns N’ Roses are trying to make their own record,” the guitarist recently explained to the Daily Star (via NME) when asked about why people like Axl Rose or his Conspirators collaborator Myles Kennedy did not appear on his new solo album, Orgy of the Damned, released on May 17. “And I’m working with them in that capacity, but this [solo album] didn’t involve anyone else. It was my own side thing, so I wasn’t dragging my own guys in.” Orgy of the Damned did, however, feature a number of other guests...

Slash gave fans at Budapest’s MVM Dome a special treat on Friday, dusting off the Guns N’ Roses deep cut “Perfect Crime” for the first time with his solo band. You can watch the performance below. Bassist Todd Kerns handled lead vocals on the high-speed Use Your Illusion I rocker, approximating Axl Rose‘s alley-cat howl with ease. It’s one of several GN’R deep cuts that Slash has revived on his current tour with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, along with the Illusion tracks “Don’t Damn Me” and “Bad Apples,” both of which Kerns also sings. Guns N’ Roses themselves haven’t performed “Perfect...

McCreary — whose resume includes scores for Battlestar Galactica, Outlander, The Walking Dead, Call of Duty: Vanguard and Godzilla: King of the Monsters — described “The End of Tomorrow” as a “tribute to iconic rock anthems like ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘November Rain’” and promised that “Slash’s solo will melt your face!” Indeed, the guitarist delivers searing, cinematic leads to accompany the soaring vocals supplied ...

Several rockers have covered it over the years, including Rick Springfield, Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple. The song has also been part of Slash’s repertoire since the ’90s, when he performed it with his touring...
