New Slash Good! Why Slashtone?

New Slash Good! Why Slashtone?

Happened to see a clip of Slash’s band on the Guitar Center Sessions or whatever they’re called, aka MTV Unplugged 2. Personally I find that as boring as I found the Unplugged stuff (hey, let’s take the rock ‘n’ roll out of it – brilliant!), but it reminded me to look into the new Slash […]

Review: Cry Baby Doc Worth Checking Out

Review: Cry Baby Doc Worth Checking Out

The documentary “Cry Baby: The Pedal that Rocks the World” was released a few months back. Did you hear about it? Since I’m not a frequent Cry Baby (or any wah or pedal) user, I didn’t feel compelled to track it down for a look-see. But then I saw recently that the entire movie – […]

Internal Pics, Audio of Slash Amp Prototype

Internal Pics, Audio of Slash Amp Prototype

Close-up pics of the prototype Slash signature Marshall AFD100 amp were recently posted by user “stoof” at mylespaul.com. Veeeeeery interesting, especially if you’re a Slash fan and maybe an amp builder – or just want to try his knob settings.

Slash Using a Tele: Can You Hear It?

Slash Using a Tele: Can You Hear It?

Most people swore Jimmy Page only used a Les Paul, but we now know about the Fender Telecasters. Jimi Hendrix apparently used a Tele on the Purple Haze solo. Virtually everyone thinks Steve Gaines used a Strat on Skynyrd’s “I Know a Little,” but it turns out it might have been a Les Paul. Point […]

Slash’s ‘New’ Favorite Les Paul

Slash’s ‘New’ Favorite Les Paul

If you’re a diehard Slash fan, you might know this already, but it was news to me – interesting news. Lately, Slash has been spotted playing only a Les Paul (no surprise), but one that is not one of his many signature Les Pauls (a surprise). Naturally lots of people have been curious about the […]

New Slash Les Paul in the Works, New Pickups

New Slash Les Paul in the Works, New Pickups

Slash signature Les Pauls must be selling pretty well because word is that the Gibson Custom Shop is working on another one, Slash’s fifth by my count. I believe that would make Slash the guy with the most signature Les Pauls ever: > In the late ’90s the Gibson Custom Shop produced the Slash Snakepit […]

New Chickenfoot ‘Tune’

New Chickenfoot ‘Tune’

Plus Sammy skull-cracks just about everybody (Dave, Eddie, Slash, Ronnie Montrose, Gary Cherone) – nicely! You may recall that Chickenfoot was the stand-in name, and now looks like the official name, of the Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) super group. They said an album and tour were coming […]

Axl Goes Off (on Slash)!

Axl Goes Off (on Slash)!

Axl Rose (apparently) recently posted a long “clearing the air” type diatribe on the GnR message board, and it’s a doozy. The guy who gets cracked the most? Slash. I’ll leave you to wade through the whole thing, but here are what I thought were the most interesting quotes. Axl going off on everyone, particularly […]

X and X Live

X and X Live

I was fortunate that a friend got tix to last night’s King’s X/Extreme (in that order) show at NYC’s Fillmore Irving Plaza. Follow is my “review” — just my experience, really — but the bottom line was that both bands were very good. King’s X opened and they were awesome as usual. What a great, […]

STP Screwed the Velvet?

STP Screwed the Velvet?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, well, well. According to this article, brought to my attention courtesy of premierguitar.com, it looks like the boys from STP were preparing to pull the drug-addled road out from under Slash and the boys in Velvet Revolver. Maybe it’s not worded right, maybe I’m reading it wrong, but if it’s what it looks like, […]
