Slash (Self-Titled) 2010 Deluxe Edition Cover Slash, his Self-Titled album is just so f u c k i n g good. There's really no other words to describe it. Awesome? Yes. Fantastic? Absolutely. Kick ass? You betcha. This is like the ultimate mix CD/Party album. I've been listening to this pretty regularly for awhile now. The entire album is full of guest singers and it's what I would call the closest thing to a
Guns N' Roses reunion album we will get since 4 of the 5 former
GN'R members are present here. Welcome back home
Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and
Steven Adler. No, they don't all play together at the same time, but they each contribute to their respective songs. Only one missing of course is
Axl Rose. Duh.
Izzy Stradlin can be found performing rhythm guitar on
Ghost featuring
Ian Astbury, which is a great opening track to this album.
Duff McKagan along with
Dave Grohl can be found on
Watch This, a full-fledge instrumental for
Slash to shred.
Steven Adler can be found on the
Deluxe Edition on the song for
Baby Can't Drive, which also features
Alice Cooper, Nicole Scherzinger and
Flea. The song can also be found on the Vinyl version as well.
Normally I'm not a fan of these kinds of records. I prefer to have consistency throughout an album, i.e. same band and singer from song to song, top to bottom. But with this one I gladly make an exception. It's clear that
Slash must have had a blast putting it together. The songs and the track order is about as close to perfection you can get. There isn't one wasted minute here. Stand out performances for me are
Ian Astbury, Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Chris Cornell and
Myles Kennedy.
Fave Songs: Every last one of 'em. MVP, hands down goes to
Beautiful Dangerous featuring
Fergie. So many guest vocals here, it deserves a full track list run down. If your too lazy to look at the back of the cover up above, then look down below here, b i t c h e s.

Highly recommend this if your into
Slash or Hard Rock in general.
I love both version of the Album cover. The regular edition one with the skull and bones with Top Hat fits
Slash to a T. But I'm pretty fond of the
Deluxe Edition cover that was drawn by caricaturist artist
Ralph Steadman.
Slash and
Fergie have already shot the video for
Beautiful Dangerous but it has yet to be released. So for the time being you will have to watch the video below. The sound and picture quality is surprisingly good. Gawd she looks so hot in leather. Fergie ftw!! She really should ditch the
Black Eyed Peas. Her vocal chops are being wasted in that genre and that band if you ask me.
