Only vaguely Slash-related but a cool show for you to check out:
The Ronnie Wood Show is coming to North America!
Slash has previously been a guest on the show and you can check out a “behind the scenes” video here:
The Ronnie Wood Show features the guitarist playing a variety of music from his favorite new and established artists, while sharing personal stories from his legendary music career. Wood has also welcomed friends, music artists, celebrities and others such as Slash, Kenney Jones and Mary Wilson. It airs for the first time January 29 on Q104.3/WAXQ-FM in New York.

Anchor Bay has picked up rights to Nothing to Fear

Slash will also co-produce movie’s score.
The movie is in pre-production and has Anne Heche, James Tupper and Willa Holland among the cast.

Slash: “Anthony Leonardi’s vision of this story is exceptionally unnerving and dark. It will keep you totally engaged from the first second of the film to the last. It’s guaranteed to scare the hell out of you.”
VELVET REVOLVER reunited with singer Scott Weiland for a one-off performance at last night’s (Thursday, January 12) “Love You Madly: A Concert For John O’Brien” at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. The band played a four-song set — including a cover version of the PINK FLOYD classic “Wish You Were Here” — at the event, which paid tribute to award-winning ASCAP composer John O’Brien, who was found dead in his Chicago hotel room last August.
Velvet Revolver played these 4 songs in their set:
Sucker Train Blues
She Builds Quick Machines
Slither
Wish You Were Here

Slash has said that the guitar solos on his new album are “sloppier” than on his solo debut. [...]
Slash told Total Guitar: “We’re just going for the one take that sounds good, so my solos are more raw, probably sloppier in a way, because they’re very spontaneous to the point where it’s in the heat of the moment.
“Everything is being played live with the music tracks: the solos, everything. We’re trying not to overdub extra bits. So if there’s a solo, I’m playing on one side, singer Myles [Kennedy]‘s rhythm track is on the other.”
