Thanks to Aaron for sending in his new interview with Slash!

Tickets to SLASH’s homecoming concert this past summer in Stoke on Trent, England sold out in less than two hours. July 24th, 2011 marked the first time Slash had returned to Stoke since leaving there as a little boy at the tender age of five years old. Destined to be a special event from the onset, the evening’s festivities unfolded fabulously inside Victoria Hall – a venue built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. The 21-song set – featuring songs spanning Slash’s entire catalogue: GUNS N’ ROSES, SLASH’S SNAKEPIT, VELVET REVOLVER, and his new solo material – was recorded and is now available as Slash’s first live solo album, appropriately titled Made In Stoke.

Gus: Going on with the singer auditions with Velvet Revolver… when will we see this band take flight again? Slash: I have no idea. We had a couple of guys in the week before last. We have some more guys coming in next week or the week after. Yeah, the week after. All things considered they are all great guys of everyone we have been trying out so far. For the most part anyways there have been some really good singers. Trying to find the right guy for this thing is a lot more complicated than one would probably think. So we will keep on toiling away it until we hit that magic and when that happens then everything will start rolling.
