Artist: kid rock

The first proper solo album by former Guns N' Roses guitarist, Slash will be released next week. However, as is the protocol these days, the self-titled record is streaming online now. The all-star lineup of guest vocalists, who appear on the album, are a who's who in music ranging from Chris Cornell, Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Kid Rock, and Ian Astbury. The guitar solos in the tracks provide a comfortable feeling and compliment the various vocalists. Slash managed everything on the album including the majority of arranging and songwriting duties and selected each [...]

There are now six songs* available online from Slash's Slash, his forthcoming sort-of-but-not-really solo debut (as though Slash's Snakepit wasn't a solo band) that I care far too much about. If you include bonus tracks, that's actually more than a full third of the album; if you don't include bonus track, it's (obviously) even more. So [...]

Cesar les presentó hace algunas semanas los primeros extractos del nuevo disco de Slash , el cual en un principio se había manejado que se llamaría 'Slash and Friends', sin embargo, parece que afortunadamente reconsideraron su idea y se quedará sólo como un álbum homónimo.

Hey ZME Universe, I'm sorry I've fallen a bit off the map in terms of my columns, but I'm excited about these end-of-decade lists. I've been preoccupied with my own list of best albums of songs. I love the lists that the ZME crew is putting together, but something tells me no one else on the staff would have the proper appreciation for the Portland, Maine power-pop trio The Leftovers. I can understand, though. While we're busy compiling a list of the best, most innovative, most interesting, and all around sweet music of the Aughts, I've decided to [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Best-of-an-era lists are always super-subjective: One judge's American Idol might be another's ' American Idiot .'
