WENN Manic Street Preachers have revealed a number of details about their upcoming album Postcards From A Young Man.
The group told NME that one track, 'A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun', features ex-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
Three other tracks are said to feature a gospel choir, while the band's Nicky Wire quipped "back of the net" when told that the title track sounded like Queen.
Frontman James Dean Bradfield said: "We're going for big radio hits on this one. It isn't a follow-up to Journal For Plague Lovers, it's one last shot at mass communication."
Wire added: "We've always been about infiltrating the mainstream. It was a conscious decision this time to want to hear ourselves on the radio. Our mantra at the start was, 'If you've got something to say, say it to as many people as possible'."
A potential lead single is titled 'It's Not War Just The End Of Love' and Wire claimed: "I believe in the tactile nature of rock 'n; roll. There's a generation missing out on what music meant to us.
"You can only elaborate on the stuff that compels you to. But 'It's Not War...' is kind of saying, 'Alright, we're not 18, but even at 40 the rage is still there'."
Il titolo del disco, previsto per settembre, è Postcards From A Young Man e la canzone in cui comparirà Duff è chiamata A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun. ]]>http://www.velvetrevolver.it/press/index.php?entry=entry100701-2047072010-07-01T00:00:00Z2010-07-01T00:00:00ZNotizie da parte di Dave

Hmmm... Where do I even start ? Since my last post (emmy nom for SOA), a lot o' stuff has happened ! Most important of all, I've got two amazing kids now ! But, I digress. I'm gonna start using this 'news' section for everything (personal, biz, styling tips...huh!?!?) But I will try and keep it organized with titles on the entries. Here you go...
DETROIT 1-8-7 (ABC)... In April, my longtime friend John O'Brien and I were called upon by Bob Thiele jr (SOA music spvsr) to try and compose all the music for a new cop show starting this fall (2010). Well, apparently we did something right cuz the show got picked up and so did we ! Here's a link for more info...http://abc.go.com/shows/detroit-1-8-7
VELVET REVOLVER... Well, if you a fan of the band, you've probably seen a lot of press where Slash says we're still a band, AND the next record will be heavier AND that we're gonna get back to work in Feb 2010 AND we still don't have a singer... Well, its ALL true ! That's where that's at.
TOTAL GUITAR magazine... I just wrote my first column for these guys. Its Europe's biggest guitar mag, so I'm really honored. Its a column on recording and the first one is out soon (not sure if its the next issue though).
ASCAP awards... Got one last month for the Sons of Anarchy theme song. That's all about that.
HISSss the movie.... this is a film by Jennifer Lynch. Franky Perez and i had written a song for the U.S. troops that Franky gave away via download on one of his trips to Iraq to play for the troops. I took the voCals off and messed around with it and called it 'Beyond the Snake'. it will appear over the end title credits for this film. http://www.hisssthemovie.com/default.htm
HAMILL the movie... this is a movie about UFC fighter Matt Hamill who rose to fame from the Ultimate Fighter series. It's his story as a deaf fighter and the struggles he overcame. Franky Perez and i did four songs that will appear in the film
BARTROCK.... A new merch line from the Simpsons. a good friend of mine Dave Warren who works at FOX wanted to write a song to tie in with the merch line. It's killer . he and I, along with Franky Perez, John O'Brien and Dave Navarro all worked on it together.
that's all i can think of now, although i know there's more but my fingers hurt from all the typing !
Dave ha composto svariate canzoni come colonna sonora per film, telefilm, ecc.:
DETROIT 1-8-7 (ABC)- show poliziesco che andrà in onda da questo autunno. HISSss - film di Jennifer Lynch. HAMILL - altro film BARTROCK - per i Simpson
Ha inoltre ricevuto un ASCAP award per la canzone di Sons of Anarchy.
Per quanto riguarda i VELVET REVOLVER, conferma ciò che è stato detto dai suoi compagni: il disco sarà più pesante e si rimetteranno al lavoro da febbraio, anche per continuare la ricerca del cantante.
Dave ci dice inoltre che ha cominciato una nuova rubrica per TOTAL GUITAR.

'When we started working with Scott, we started to lighten things up,' the guitarist says of former frontman Scott Weiland.
Other than taking a short break to play some riffs for Rihanna, top-hatted guitarist Slash spent the better part of last year working on his solo album, which many fans took as further proof that Velvet Revolver were no more.
The supergroup — made up of Slash, fellow Guns N' Roses alums Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, Wasted Youth guitarist Dave Kushner and Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland — produced a pair of well-received albums. Then Weiland went back to STP, leaving Velvet Revolver without a frontman. Still, despite the group having been mostly quiet for the last two years, Slash says they fully intend to push forward — and they even have some songs ready to go.
"As soon as we got off the road from the last tour and parted ways with Scott, we got together and wrote half a dozen really great, sort of heavy metal pieces of music," Slash told MTV News. "It's a lot heavier than what Velvet Revolver has put out, so I'm dying to put out the quintessential Velvet Revolver record."
Slash said the new material better matches the group's original intentions. "When Duff and Matt and I first got together, we wrote a ton of material that never saw the light of day, and that was all very heavy," Slash explained.
"It's definitely our natural way of doing things. But when we started working with Scott, we started to lighten things up a lot, and we progressively got lighter. As much as I love the two records we did do, one of the things that was progressively more and more frustrating was the direction the band took."
Slash's self-titled solo effort, released in April, features an eclectic mix of guest appearances, from Fergie to Iggy Pop to Kid Rock to former Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy, who's currently fronting the guitarist's touring band. And according to Slash, he wasn't the only Velvet Revolver bandmember with more than one iron in the fire.
"I've been doing this record, and there's a tour and Duff's been playing with Jane's Addiction, so everybody has been pretty busy," Slash said. "But at some point early next year, we're going to reconvene and take a good serious look at everything that we've got."
In the meantime, Velvet Revolver remain a band without a singer — but not for lack of trying. "This next record will be us doing what we want to do without making any concessions to anybody," Slash declared. "Which is why it's taking so long to find a singer, because we want to find the guy who can front that band and not something we have to conform to."

By Nick Aveling May 27, 2010 – 7:00 am
Record hit albums. Do drugs. Get arrested. Break up with band. Repeat. Not the most stable résumé but good enough for Atlantic Records, employer of Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland. The famously mercurial singer’s eleventh album, his first with STP since the group disbanded seven years ago, hit stores Tuesday. The word is still out as to whether it was worth the expense of what can now be described as Weiland’s new former band, Velvet Revolver, a rock ‘n’ roll supergroup he formed with three ex-Guns n’ Roses in 2003. Weiland spoke to the Post from his home in LA sounding slightly distracted by the Lakers game on TV.
Q Your story — battles with drugs, alcohol and the law — has become the stuff of legend. Do you worry it overshadows your music? A No, not when our songs have been played consistently on the radio for almost 20 years. I just read a biography of the Rolling Stones and both Keith and Mick, who wasn’t really a major drug user, were arrested more times than I’ve been.
Q How is your new stuff different than those earlier songs? A It’s a very well-rounded record. It has some stuff that’s more outside of the box but at its core it’s a rock ‘n’ roll record. One thing we’ve always said we’d never do is cover ourselves, become our own cover band and try to figure out the formula for a hit song. It’s more about being satisfied. Of course you want your fans to dig it, but being satisfied with what you’re doing as an artist, most of the time, means your fans will follow. I’ve also had the opportunity to put out my solo album on my own label… and to play with another band, Velvet Revolver, which was a great experience until it wasn’t a great experience. Now it’s kind of like a new beginning with STP, although in a way it feels like we never left each other. We successfully toured (starting in 2008) then worked on the record, and I think it’s quite an accomplishment that we produced the album ourselves.
Q This one of the few albums you’ve recorded sober. How does sobriety affect the recording process? A I’ve done it before, and it’s different actually. When you’re starting to experience and experiment with mind-altering chemicals it can be a positive thing. It can open you up and add an extra boost to your radar frequency. And you’re able to be a little bit less fearful and a little bit more progressive in the ideas that you put out there. But then after a long period of time it ends up sort of cutting you off from the heart and soul of things, and it becomes too cerebral. Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that’s why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that’s kind of the beauty of it.
Q Can you tell me about how you reconciled with the guys from STP? A With STP it was very organic. There were some opportunities that came about that looked like they would be very low-pressure and we would do well financially. It was also at a time when Velvet Revolver was going to be off the road so I said, “Yeah, let’s do it,” and took it from there. It just gathered momentum until we made the record. Doing all the touring that we did made us yearn to get back in the studio. That’s where we really thrive — at least I really feel that way. Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.
Q And where do things stand with Velvet Revolver? Might your career involve a second reunion with a second band? A You just absolutely never know.
The Stone Temple Pilots play Winnipeg’s Rock on the Range festival Aug. 7.
"Come stanno le cose con i VR? Nella tua carriera ci potrà essere una seconda reunion con una seconda band?" "Non lo puoi mai sapere"]]>http://www.velvetrevolver.it/press/index.php?entry=entry100530-2148412010-05-30T00:00:00Z2010-05-30T00:00:00ZMatt forma i Carnival Of DogsINTRODUCING CARNIVAL OF DOGS

I am loving playin man and these guys play the stuff I grew up with Zeppelin, Hendrix, Cream, Free, Bad Co , Sabbath etc. So look out for us.
Matt ha formato un'altra cover band, dopo i Camp Freddy, questa volta assieme ai suoi amici Tracii Guns,Phil Soussan e Franky Perez alla voce. Il gruppo ha debuttato lo scorso 3 Maggio al Troubadour a Los Angeles, per uno show di beneficenza e l'esperienza è stata così positiva che hanno deciso di fare altre date insieme. Secondo Matt, Franky Perez è "il cantante rock più incredibile". Sono una cover band anni '70 ed il loro repertorio comprende canzoni con cui Matt è cresciuto: Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cream e Black Sabbath.

GUITAR hero Slash revealed having the hots for singer Fergie led to him taking one of the biggest gambles of his controversial rock career. The ex-Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver idol recruited the stunning Black Eyed Peas star to perform lead vocals on Beautiful Dangerous, a track on his first solo album. His collaboration with sexy Fergie raised eyebrows among diehard rockers but Slash is unrepentant and claims she's one of the best vocalists he's ever worked with. In 2009, Fergie and Slash performed together on a live version of Guns N' Roses classic hit Sweet Child O' Mine at the Rosebowl in the US when Black Eyed Peas opened for U2. He was so knocked out by her amazing voice he insisted she appear on his self-titled album. He said: "I've played w ith Black Eyed Peas a number of times over the years and knew she'd be able to do it. "I'm sure there were some people surprised Fergie was on my album but that's ridiculous. "I got hip to Fergie being probably as good - or better - a rock singer than she is a pop singer. "She's one of the most phenomenal rock 'n'roll singers - male or female - I've ever heard. "She's got an amazing voice - and she's hot. Who wouldn't want to work with someone as hot as she is?" Now Slash is preparing to hit the road for a UK tour. We can exclusively reveal he'll play Edinburgh HMV Picture House on July 1 and tickets - which cost £25 - go on sale on Wednesday. Guest vocalist will be ex-Alter Bridge star Myles Kennedy, once tipped to replace Robert Plant in Led Zeppelin. The new album features a string of big name singers including Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Kid Rock and Ian Astbury of The Cult. Plus there are surprise appearances from former Guns N' Roses mates Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan, and Foo Fighter Dave Grohl. Slash said: "I wasn't trying to br idge any generation gap or try to be eclectic. "I wrote the music first then farmed it to singers who I thought might like it or be appropriate for it. "While that may be offthe beaten Sla sh pat h I knew it would sound great. "This was a music statement from me but the singers could do what they wanted and have as much input as they liked. They had a free rein on the lyrics and melod ies." Slash revealed his brilliant collaboration with Iggy Pop on We're All Gonna Die set the standard for the project. He said: "When I sent Iggy the song he called up a couple of days later and left a message of him singing the words while my demo was playing on his stereo in the background. "It was so rock 'n'roll. Igg y set the tone for the record."
Parti di interviste già note, la novità è appunto la data del concerto che si terrà il 1 luglio alla HMV Picture House. I biglietti andranno in vendita da giovedì, al costo di 25 £. A quanto pare si tratta di un concerto esclusivo, non è quindi parte di un festival. Ecco due foto della bellissima Picture House, in cui si terrà il concerto:

From: The Courier-Mail May 06, 2010
Former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist tells Cameron Adams Fergie rocks. Seriously.
Your new solo album Slash features Fergie as a guest vocalist. How did that go down with your rock fans? It certainly raised some eyebrows. She's pretty badass. She's a rock singer who has made it as a pop singer. She has great rock chops. When the rumours went around Fergie was on my record everyone thought I was going to go pop. I knew what I was doing. I'd heard her sing rock before, no one else had, so I kept my mouth shut and waited until it came out. This is the first rock recording she's done.
There's a cover of Guns N' Roses' Paradise City she's singing on. Discuss. Ha. That got an interesting response. Some people loved it; all the purists were f---ing devastated I'd covered it. It was just a fun thing I did. I'd been playing that song with Cypress Hill for years, I always wanted to record it. Fergie was around, she's a huge Axl (Rose) fan, she came and sang it. I didn't put it on the album because I didn't want to make it look like it was really serious. So I put it on a Japanese B-side, and of course it trickled down. But it's actually a really cool version.
What did you have in common with Fergie? It turns out we have a lot of similar war stories from the past. We both come from a chequered past, let's just say.
You're clean and sober now, but everyone always talks about your drink and drug hell - which you didn't really touch on in your autobiography. I didn't want to focus on all that stuff in the book. I'm over it. The main focus on the book was to get out some of the reality about Guns N' Roses and the reunion.
Have you had offers to turn it into a movie? People asked me if I wanted to license it for a movie. It doesn't really interest me. It's just a book I wrote to get some s--- off my chest. I couldn't imagine someone playing me in a movie.
Has the book at least stopped people asking if you are going to reunite with Axl Rose in Guns N' Roses? It slowed down considerably when I put the book out, yes. It really does spell it out. You'd have to be an idiot to not get it, but there's still obnoxious people who insist on perpetuating that myth. All things considered, I'm really flattered the band has this stigma, this ongoing mystique attached. I try not to get too agitated. There's this newer generation of Guns N' Roses fans who never saw the band - it'd almost be nice to get it together to do some shows for them, but it's just not logistically going to happen.
What did you think of Chinese Democracy, the first Guns N' Roses album without you? It's great. It's the perfect Axl record.
That's very diplomatic. No, it is. Axl's brilliant. I look at it differently than your average fan, I look at it more from what he's about and what it represents and our relationship. I think it's a great record. It's very much the record I would have expected him to do.
So what's the status of Velvet Revolver - dormant? It's just in a state of limbo until we bunker down and figure out who the (new) singer's going to be.
Will there be Guns N' Roses songs in your solo tour of Australia? Yep, Night Train, Civil War, Paradise City, Sweet Child (O'Mine). Myles (Kennedy) sings everything. There's Velvet Revolver and (Slash's) Snakepit songs too, as well as the stuff from the solo album. The band kick ass. It's not like were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
What's your favourite Guns N' Roses video? The only one I like is Paradise City because it's live.
What about November Rain? Your guitar solo on a mountain is a great rockvideo moment. I haven't seen that in years. November Rain is still one of the most expensive videos ever made. I hate videos. So that's right up at the top - the epitome of the kind of thing I cannot stand.
Intervista in cui Slash risponde a cose già note, in più svela che l'unico video dei Gn'R che gli piace è Paradise City, perché è l'unico live. Dice infatti di odiare i video e che quello che odia di più è November Rain, uno dei più costosi in assoluto, che rappresenta l'esempio tipico di ciò che non sopporta.
G&R guitarist Slash tells us that he’d love to see the band’s songs appear on Fox’s smash hit show, but lead singer Axl Rose won’t let it happen!
Who wouldn’t love a Guns & Roses-themed episode of Glee? We’d die to see Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) take Rachel Barry (Lea Michele) to “Paradise City” and for Noah “Puck” Puckerman (Mark Salling) to trade in his Mohawk for a mullet. But sadly, BFFs, a G&R episode of Glee probably won’t happen. (Insert frown face here).
“I’d be shocked if it ever came to be, because Axl might not be down with it,” the 44-year-old rocker told HollywoodLife.com at Charlotte Ronson’s ‘I Love Ronson’/JC Penney party in LA May 4.
WHAT! Lead singer Axl Rose should stop being so selfish — the world NEEDS a G&R-Glee union.
Slash, however, is totally on board with seeing his music appear on the show, and even has some thoughts as to what songs should be performed. “I would love to see “Paradise City” or “November Rain” used on a future episode,” he told us, adding, “but if it ever came to be, I think they would probably pick “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” That seems to be the go-to [song].”
Slash, surely you can use your powers of persuasion on Axl, 48? Or should we say, “Use Your Illusion?”
Slash ha detto che gli piacerebbe molto sentire le canzoni dei Gn'R nel telefilm musical della Fox, Glee. Ma crede che ciò non accadrà mai perché pensa che Axl non lo permetterebbe. “Vorrei vedere “Paradise City” o “November Rain” in un episodio futuro" ha detto Slash, "ma anche se succedesse, penso che probabilmente sceglierebbero “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Sembra quella che va per la maggiore.”

Currently down under to launch MTV Classic in Melbourne, ex Guns N’ Roses shredder Slash has just announced a full Australian tour set to kick off in August.
The world’s original guitar hero has just put the finishing touches on his first ‘official’ self-titled solo album, which features collaborations with the likes of Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy, just to name a few.
When FasterLouder interviewed Slash last week he spoke candidly about working with some of rock’s biggest names on this album, gushing in particular about the track he laid down with Dave Grohl: “ …I fucking love his drumming, his playing is phenomenal. I wanted him to sing the song on the record, but he didn’t want to sing on someone else’s album, he’s still very shy about that. He was really into his drums because he’d just done Them Crooked Vultures.”
You can read the rest of our interview with Slash, in which he discusses quitting smoking, twitter addictions and that infamous November Rain video, here.
Make sure you get up close and personal with Slash this August at the following shows:

Apr 27th 2010
When it came time to decide on a bonus track for his eponymous debut album, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash decided to include a slowed-down, hip-hop version of his former band's 1988 Top 10 single 'Paradise City' featuring the unexpected tandem of Cypress Hill and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.
"I've been playing 'Paradise City' with Cypress Hill since 2002 -- I just love the way they do the verses -- and we always have somebody come up and do the chorus," Slash explains to Spinner of the collaboration's genesis. "I always said, 'one of these days, we've got to record this' and here we were, seven years later.
"I had the Cypress Hill guys come down [to the studio] and I'd just done 'Beautiful Dangerous' with Fergie so I said, 'why don't you sing the chorus?' just for the hell of it."
Before releasing the track in North America, the guitar god decided to give it a test run with Japanese audiences.
"I put it out as a B-side of a Japanese single and, of course, it cruised around the internet," he recalls. "I had all the Guns N' Roses purists that were really pissed off about it and I had all these other people that really liked it."
Despite the mixed reaction, the guitarist ultimately decided to include the new 'Paradise City' on the deluxe edition because, as he says with a smirk, "I just figured some people are taking it a little too seriously."
Slash dice che i fan "puristi" dei Gn'R prendono la sua musica troppo sul serio
Slash decise di includere una nuova versione di Paradise City, con la partecipazione dei Cypress Hill e Fergie, come bonus track del suo disco solista.
"Suono 'Paradise City' con i Cypress Hill dal 2002 -- amo il modo in cui creano versi -- ed abbiamo sempre qualcuno che canta con noi il ritornello. Ho sempre detto 'un giorno la registreremo' ed eccoci qui dopo sette anni. "I Cypress Hill sono arrivati in studio ed avevo appena registrato 'Beautiful Dangerous' con Fergie, così dissi 'perché non canti tu il ritornello? Così, tanto per fare."
Prima di pubblicarla in nor America, il chitarrista decise di testarla sul pubblico giapponese.
"La inclusi come b-side di un singolo giapponese e si diffuse attraverso internet. C'erano questi puristi dei Gn'R che ne erano molto seccati e altri a cui invece piaceva molto."
Nonostante le reazioni diverse, Slash ha deciso alla fine di includere la nuova 'Paradise City' nell'edizione deluxe perché, come dice sorridendo, "penso semplicemente che alcune persone la stanno prendendo troppo sul serio."
Two of the original members of Guns N’ Roses stopped by Loveline last night. Slash showed up to promote his self titled debut solo album and Steven Adler just dropped by out of the blue. It made for great radio hearing these guys wax poetic about the good ol’ days. Slash’s album features such legendary artists as Iggy Pop, Dave Grohl, Ozzy, Lemmy, and many more. I highly recommend it.
Slash e Steven sono stati ospiti il 7 aprile di un programma radiofonico della Kroq, chiamato Loveline. A quanto pare Slash era stato invitato per parlare dell'album, mentre Steven si è semplicemente presentato all'improvviso.
