Slash to be recorded in Manchester
June 29th, 2010 by RBR
It was announced today that Legendary Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash and his band will be recorded at Manchester Academy in Manchester, UK on July 3rd, and will release limited edition, live discs from the band’s show that will made available immediately after the performance.
There will only be 1200 double-disc CD sets ever produced. Slash is one of the iconic artists of our day, and has never before done an instant recording – capturing the heat and intensity of the moment and delivering it directly to his fans.
The consumer price of each collectible disc set is £20 ($30 USD) online at www.slashonline.com, and also £20 at the show in Manchester. Discs may either be picked up at the end of the show, or shipped home.
These very special CDs will be fully mixed and mastered on-the-fly specifically for delivery to CD – not to be confused with a “board” mix, which usually just involves plugging into the house sound console and taking their mix. Therefore the quality will be very close to a “studio” mixed live CD.
Slash, known for his iconic top hat and Les Paul guitar, was born in Hampstead and raised in the city of Stock-on-Trent, Staffordshire, in the UK. He has gone on to become one of the most influential and important guitarists in the rock era, transcending both trends and genres.
Earlier this year, he released an acclaimed solo album, “Slash”, through EMI in the US and Roadrunner Records in the UK that features a wide array of his pals making guest appearances, including Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother (who sings on the current Slash radio hit “By The Sword”), Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, and the lead vocalist for his touring band, Myles Kennedy of Alterbridge.
In addition to Slash and Kennedy, other band members that will be featured on the CD set include Bobby Schneck on guitar; Todd Kerns on bass and backing vocals; and Brent Fitz on drums.
Pre-sales for these very special discs will only continue until the total edition size of 1200 units is sold.
For additional information or to purchase the CD, please visit www.slashonline.com.
