Axl Rose’s past managers have slapped him with a roughly $1.9 meg causa that claims the Guns n’ Roses cheater reneged on a verbal agreement from 2008. The $1.9 meg represents the 15 percent commission Irving Azoff’s Front Line Management was promised of the estimated $12 meg Gn’R have earned so far in their tours of Southeast Asia, Canada and South America.
In jural documents filed yesterday at Los Angeles’ Superior Court, Front Line criminate Axl, or “William Bill Bailey” as he’s referred to in the complaint, of severance of lessen for “failing and refusing” to pay Front Line the promised fees. Neither Front Line nor Guns n’ Roses’ camp have commented on the lawsuit, and Rose has still to truism on it on his active Twitter feed. Guns n’ Roses are currently on tour in South America.
Since then they have bounced from their example label, Good Life, to Hopeless, where they free their sophomore album, Waking The Fallen, and finally landed a major adjudge care with filmmaker Brothers. The latter resulted in their 2005 promulgation City of Evil.
Now AX7 are prepping their fourth flat promulgation (and ordinal for filmmaker Bros.). Simply named Avenged Sevenfold (what is it with band's glomming onto the whole "self-titled" album bandwagon these days?), the album's stark artwork seems to reflexion the streamlined nature of the denomination itself. ever made it as a working-class hero."
21st Century Breakdown is modify better, so skilled and confident it makes Idiot seem same a warm-up. They're back in rock-opera mode, dividing the album into threesome parts, "Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans and Saints" and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades." But there are no nine-minute excursions this time — exclusive two of the 18 songs fissure the five-minute evaluation — and Green Day convergent their ideas into their sharpest, toughest tunes. Armstrong brings a nurturant bounds to his snarl, modify when he's spitting discover self-lacerating lines like, "My procreation is zero I never made it as a working-class hero."
Idris Muhammad doesn’t mind the term "crossover." The New Orleans-born drummer, as a member of Lou Donaldson’s group in the mid-Sixties, was on the ground floor of that movement which fuses jazz with pop before anyone had even thought of a label for it. As one of the most in-demand studio musicians in New York, Muhammad has played on sessions with such major Seventies crossover figures as Bob James, Donald Byrd, Grover Washington, and Freddie Hubbard.
And, in the late Seventies, Idris has emerged as a top-selling crossover artist in his own right, with his last several albums placing high on the pop, soul, disco, and jazz charts: Turn This Mutha Out and Boogie to the Top (for CTI’s Kudu label), and his Fantasy debut, You Ain’t No Friend of Mine! (produced by William Fischer).
His brand-new Fantasy release, Foxhuntin’,reunites him with Dave Matthews and Tony Sarafino, the team that produced his Kudu hits. The results? State-of-the-art disco with a rhythmic foundation that’s unmistakably Muhammad.
Idris is understandably enthusiastic about the album. "The dance beat is there, of course," he says, "but it’s also got a fresh new sound that I’m very excited about."
Matthews and Sarafino composed most of the LP’s material; there’s also a track written by Idris’s wife, Sakinah Muhammad. Sidemen include Hiram Bullock on guitar, keyboardist Cliff Carter, Wilbur Bascomb on bass, and singers Ronnie Eagle and Frank Floyd.
Although the jazz public first became aware of Muhammad in 1967 when his funk rhythms propelled alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson’s hit, "Alligator Boogaloo," he had been the driving force behind countless rock and r&b hits for a decade previously. His beat graced such classics as Larry Williams’s "Bony Moronie," the Impressions’ "Keep On Pushing" and "People Get Ready," and the Dixie Cups’ "Chapel of Love."
The son of traditional jazz banjo player Nathaniel Morris, Idris was the youngest of four drum-playing brothers. "The Dixieland musicians all lived in the neighborhood," he recalls, "so they all used to get together on Sundays and parade through the streets. They had a feeling different from any other musicians in any other place. In New Orleans you have to play all types of music, because it’s just not a one-type-of-music town."
Muhammad is a leading exponent of the unique New Orleans school of drumming and credits among his influences such hometown drummers as brother Nathaniel Morris, Jr., Ed Blackwell, John Boudreaux, and Smokey Johnson. "Because my father was a musician," he explains, "we could play drums in the house all day and no one would say anything. So John and Smokey used to come to my house and rehearse. We were all young cats, but between us, we kinda had the whole New Orleans scene hooked up."
Muhammad was working with the legendary Hawkettes, led by organist Art Neville of Meters fame, when Larry Williams asked them to go on the road with him in 1957. The following year found Muhammad touring with Sam Cooke, but he soon returned home to cut "You Talk Too Much" with singer Joe Jones.
That record and other New Orleans hits of the period were causing a sensation across the nation with their unique syncopated rhythms. Artists and producers in the major recording centers were looking for a way to duplicate the magic sound but it was so different that no one could copy it. Earl Palmer had already gone to Southern California, where he became the leading rock studio drummer of the late Fifties. Berry Gordy sent for Smokey Johnson, who, according to Muhammad, laid the rhythmic foundation for the Motown sound.
After a spell on the road with Maxine Brown, Muhammad became active in both Chicago (with Dee Clark, Jerry Butler, and Curtis Mayfield) and New York (with singer Lloyd Price and producers Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, and Jeff Barry).
In the late Sixties, he moved to New York and worked with such jazz greats as Donaldson, Nat Adderley, Sonny Stitt, and Gene Ammons. But they wouldn’t let him forget his roots, because, as he says, "I had this rhythm no one else could play."
Besides maintaining his busy recording schedule, Muhammad also found time to spend four years with the original band for Hair and four more with singer Roberta Flack. He also cut two solo albums, Black Rhythm Revolution and Peace and Rhythm, for Prestige in 1971.
Idris’s enormous flexibility and range were again brought to light during his recent gig with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin’s quartet. "That whole tour was the greatest experience! Johnny is such a strong player, and we had a ball playing together."
At the other end of the Muhammad spectrum is Foxhuntin’-dynamic disco, and another expression of his unique rhythmic talents.

1 Steve Priest (Sweet) Report Abuse
Flame haired, camped up, gorgeous glamrock geezer! Bass players are usually (but not always) known as the 'quiet one' - but not our Steve. Responsible for many many sexual inuendos on many top hits, delivered with a pout and a grind ('we just haven't got a clue WHAT to do!') . . The sexiest bass player I've ever seen (yeah . . I'm a 'Sheila' LOL)! Clear, clean fretting, fast fingered and loud! Made his first bass guitar himself, but is famed for using a Danelecto for most of his career, succumbing to a Rickenbacker in the end. Has some damn good bass riffs under his belt and the deepest talking voice ever - but also 25% of the harmonious Sweet - forerunners to Queen, Motley Crue, Kiss - with their songs covered by many. Forget Wig wam bam and Little Willy from 1971/2 - try some of their heavier songs, and you'll see what I mean! EXCELLENT. And he's still gigging at the age of 63.
2 Geddy Lee (Rush)
Clean and crisp, Lee's bass lines allowed Rush to be a three man band that sounded like a full orchestra. he had a unique ability to create a wall of sound with the bass perfect for Rush's grandiose style
3 Phil Kingsbury ('Nuff Said)
Big phat bass notes and harmonies to follow. The bass player of your dreams to work with!
4 John Entwistle (The Who)
He was the glue that kept one of the greatest rock bands of all time together. While Keith, Pete and Roger were off improvising and doing their own thing it was John who functioned as the backbone, keeping the band on track,
5 Cliff Lee Burton (Metallica)
6 Michael "Flea" Balzary (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
7 Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
8 Paul McCartney (The Beatles)
His status as one of the greatest songwriters of all time sometimes overshadows his other musical abilities, but there's no denying that McCartney was a master of the bass guitar. His crisp bass lines have become legendary and his mastery of the intricate arrangements of the later Beatles is astounding.
9 John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)
The most underappreciated member of Led Zeppelin, Jones made all of Zeppelin's complex and difficult arrangements seem simple and was able to maintain order while following Bonham's anarchic and improvisational drumming.

From his groundbreaking work with Gn’R, to Slash’s Snakepit, to Velvet Revolver and numerous acclaimed solo and side projects, Slash has continued to embody the ultimate rebel rocker, putting addictive licks and eviscerating tone above all else, and throughout he has continued to do it on a Les Paul. To honor this achievement, Gibson introduces the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul, a guitar equipped with the finest features of the original Les Paul Standards of 1958-’60, and the added punch of Seymour Duncan Signature Series Alnico II Pro Slash humbucking pickups.
With looks to kill from a Grade AAA “reverse-chevron” figured maple top with nitrocellulose “Unburst” finish, amber top-hat knobs, rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays, and Slash headstock graphic, and enhanced resonance from a TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece at one end and a high-density Corian nut at the other, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul is as prime a piece of eye candy as it is ear candy.
Playability, naturally, is flawless, thanks to a solid one-piece Grade A quarter-sawn mahogany neck with Slash’s preferred slim ’60s profile, and the 12″ fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo frets that have made Les Pauls notorious for big, meaty rock bends for more the past 50 years. All Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Pauls come with plush-lined hardshell case with silkscreened Slash graphic and Owner’s Manual.
Body and Finish
Crafted from a Grade AAA maple top with Slash-style “reverse chevron” figuring and weight-relieved mahogany body, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer that replicates a beautifully faded vintage Les Paul Standard. The maple-mahogany combination and thin nitro finish help to bring the most out of these guitars, both tonally and visually.
Neck and Headstock
The guitar’s neck and headstock are made in the classic tradition of the original 1958-’60 Les Pauls. Carved from a single piece of quarter-sawn mahogany, and topped with a rosewood fingerboard, the design incorporates Gibson’s lauded 17-degree back-angled headstock, which contributes greatly to the instrument’s resonance and sustain.
Pickups and Electronics
To Slash’s own specifications, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul carries a set of Seymour Duncan Signature Series Alnico II Pro Slash humbucking pickups, which are made in the image of the original Gibson PAF humbucking pickups. From a rich, throaty wail at the neck position to a muscular, eviscerating roar at the bridge, these pickups offer all the tonal versatility that has made the Les Paul Standard famous. Their full splendor is transmitted via a Switchcraft selector switch, high-quality potentiometers with Orange Drop tone caps, and a robust Switchcraft output jack.
Hardware
In the image of the great Les Paul Standards of the 1958-’60 the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul wears a classic set of hardware, all enhanced for the tonal standards Slash demands. A TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece offer uncompromising resonant coupling between strings and body, while a set of Kluson-style tuners combines an authentic vintage look with efficient modern performance. Check for price. So what is Gibson going to do next, announce a Buckethead Signature Gibson Les Paul Guitar? Oh, wait!
SLASH was born in Hampstead (London), England on July 23, 1965, and he was raised in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England. His given name is Saul Hudson. His mother was a Black American, and his father is a albescent Englishman. Both artistic parents worked in the entertainment field. His mother was a clothing designer for entertainers. She fashioned whatever of David Bowie's unforgettable costumes. His father provides prowess content for record albums. Two notable clients are Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. On Friday, June 5, 2009, SLASH's mother Ola naturalist died of lung cancer in Los Angeles.
At age 11 SLASH touched to Los Angeles with his mother while his father remained based in England. Born in the UK, SLASH was an immigrant in the United States and was to rest one for whatever years. The family eventually lived unitedly again in L.A. where SLASH had a rough transformation to conservative Southern California. The daylong hair, jeans and t-shirts that he wore even then didn't exactly fit with the other kids. An outsider at school, he lived a bohemian life at home. Surrounded by artistic friends of his parents, SLASH grew accustomed to the moods and eccentricities of those in the penalization world. Frequent visitors at the naturalist household included Joni Mitchell, David Geffen, David Bowie, Daffo Wood and Iggy Pop. SLASH has said that these environment prepared him for coping with the stress of the penalization industry, the conflict between artistry and business.
In the mid-1970's, his parents separated. SLASH touched in with his beloved grandmother until he could sort out the status at home. About this time SLASH discovered BMX (bicycle motorcrossing), joined up with a group of kids, and rode with a passion. It's not surprising to hear that SLASH would ride without brakes! SLASH eventually became a professed BMX biker winning awards and money for his enthusiastic riding.
While in junior high school (age 15), SLASH's grandmother gave him his first guitar. Although it had just one string, SLASH was able to learn to play. SLASH's early musical influences were Led Zep, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith,Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Neil Young. He credits the Aerosmith medium ROCKS with changing his life. Getting to play with the musical idols of his life means a lot to him. Standing on a initiate in Paris with Jeff Beck and Joe Perry was overwhelming. SLASH also has gotten to play with player \"god\" Eric Clapton. He has played with whatever other artists including Lenny Kravitz, Paul Rogers, Iggy Pop, archangel Jackson, Brian May to name just a few.
Soon the bike was put aside. SLASH devoted at small 12 hours a day to activity guitar. His schoolwork suffered when he skipped classes and sat in the bleachers every day activity guitar. School may have suffered, but his ethnic life got better! The other kids today thought SLASH was cool, and he was no longer a ethnic outcast. SLASH joined adornment after adornment ECM with other teen musicians. Eventually, SLASH gave up on school and dropped out in eleventh grade. Another education was inactivity for him in the L.A. adornment scene. SLASH met Steven Adler, formed the adornment Road Crew, and was looking for a good singer. Then he met Izzy Stradlin who played him a tape of W. Axl Rose singing. SLASH went to see Axl perform and immediately wanted to steal him from Izzy, but the two Indiana natives were fast friends. SLASH found his bass player in Duff McKagan when Duff answered an ad SLASH had placed in the paper. All the players denaturized combinations, but the result was Guns N'Roses! With a lot of talent and a lot of drive, the adornment became an international success story.
After the Illusions tours, Guns N'Roses went on a well-deserved hiatus, and SLASH became a U.S citizen. He definite that immigration hassles, lost green cards, etc. were just likewise timeconsuming for his lifestyle. So SLASH became a citizen of the United States. Welcome, SLASH! About this time, SLASH became discontented and definite to form a newborn adornment as a side project to his GNR impact which seemed to be taking forever to intend started. Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke, Mike Inez, Eric Dover, and SLASH formed SLASH's Snakepit and transcribed the medium IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE. Never content to stay home and smell the roses, SLASH went on the road with his touring band: Gilby Clarke, Brian Tichy, saint Lomenso, Eric Dover. Playing to small venues, SLASH was able to intend back to activity in clubs and existence toe-to-toe with the audience. IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE went platinum worldwide, and SLASH promised that Snakepit would be back again.
In the summer of 1996, SLASH was invited to play at a vapors concert in Budapest, Hungary. He got unitedly whatever musicians and headed for Europe. From this beginning came a alarming adornment titled SLASH's Blues Ball. And though this adornment never transcribed an album, it was in big demand by promoters and fans.
While this was feat on, SLASH was inactivity for Axl Rose to intend Guns N'Roses together. SLASH and Axl had talks about the musical content of the band. SLASH saw GNR as a rock adornment while Axl Rose wanted to go in a more techno/industrial content with GNR. After many, whatever meetings and heated discussions, SLASH resigned from GNR in October 1996 with Rose retaining the rights to the adornment name. SLASH didn't set at home with his head in his hands. He got busy with Blues Ball! Blues comedienne played vapors covers, so they could move activity gigs right away. Throughout the end of 1996 till the fall of 1997, SLASH's Blues comedienne played at clubs throughout California, into the southwest and the northeast. Blues comedienne has rolled away for the time existence but may play whatever one-offs. You just never know with SLASH!
When SLASH left Guns N'Roses, his whatever fans wondered what he might be feat do with every that talent and personality. The media were wondering, too. At first, there was speculation that the Axl - SLASH rift would be of short continuance and a reconciliation was inevitable. SLASH had been quoted as locution that when Axl Rose was ready to make a rock and roll album, he would be back. As Rose filled GNR with hired guns and unknowns, SLASH made it country that Snakepit will be his permanent band. He says he could do a one off or a short journeying with the original band, but he would never walk on initiate with a adornment pretending to be the Guns N'Roses band.
As promised, SLASH brought back Snakepit! He had 300 demo tapes from musicians who wanted to be in his band. He effected on drummer Matt Laug (formerly with Venice) and bassist Johnny Griparic (formerly with SLASH's Blues Ball). Rhythm player was at first Ryan Roxie. Ryan was in Dad's Porno Magazine and Alice Cooper's band. Ryan did the pre-album journeying and the recording, but then definite to follow with his whatever other bands. SLASH was able to inscribe the wonderful Keri Kelli as the band's ordinal guitarist. Snakepit's vocalist is a newcomer, Rod Jackson, from Virginia and the adornment Ragdoll there. The newborn medium was released October 10, 2000 in the US with the upbeat denomination Ain't Life Grand. Elsewhere in this website, you will find whatever song clips, lyrics and reviews. SLASH's Snakepit began their journeying by opening for AC/DC on the North American leg of their tour. This gave the adornment huge exposure. The adornment toured the Far East with enthusiastic results and and then did a European journeying in December. In February 2001, the 'pit launched a club show in the US. The journeying did very well, but on March 11, SLASH came down with the flu and the rest of this journeying was cancelled. The adornment was also to unstoppered for AC/DC again in March in the US until SLASH's flu turned into pneumonia. It's hard to imagine this dynamo stopped by illness, and he won't be for long. May 2001 finds SLASH recuperating and planning the next leg of the tour. Snakepit gave its last action in July 2001. The adornment went home for whatever rest before recording the next album. The rest time was getting long, so Snakepit (minus SLASH) got unitedly to write whatever songs. Sadly, SLASH announced publicly that Snakepit was no more. SLASH was breaking up the adornment in order to do whatever solo projects of his own. He said that he had been through every that excitement of touring and arranging gigs when he was starting out. He was pleased the guys had a good time, but he was not interested in repeating what they had done. So, Snakepit adornment members disappeared to other bands.
SLASH then definite he would do a solo project involving penalization from assorted countries. He would use temporary musicians, but he would write every the music. At the same time, he started ECM with Duff and Matt. Soon, this project went from \"not a high priority\" to the threesome ex-Gunners' sole focus. Izzy was in and out, and The Project (this site gave it this temporary name) had penalization and whatever lyrics for 40 songs. Izzy definite he did not want to journeying though he might jump in and out of a tour, and the guys picked up the player from Duff's Loaded band, Dave Kushner. In early 2003, The Project auditioned vocalists. After throwing the job unstoppered to experienced and unknown singers, histrion Weiland, ex-Stone Temple Pilots was selected. The adornment titled themselves Velvet Revolver and played their entry gig in the summer of 2003 at the El Rey theater in L.A. The adornment did whatever soundtrack impact on The Hulk and The Italian Job and found a label (RCA). Velvet Revolver was to have their entry CD in the safekeeping of the label by year's end 2003, and they had it in by 12/19. Unfortunately, histrion Weiland continued to have drug and legal problems that kept pushing the release date back further and further. The medium denomination is Contraband and the release date is today June 8. While histrion is doing rehab, SLASH and Duff have been doing global promo! They prospect a worldwide journeying after the medium is released. The first single off the medium is \"Slither\", and a video was done where fans took part. The ordinal single was \"Fall To Pieces\" with a video where fans again took a small part. The third is \"Dirty Little Thing\" with whatever enthusiastic animation and graphics. The adornment received a enthusiastic honor in existence nominated for threesome Grammy awards and carrying away one for Best Rock Guitar Performance (\"Slither\"). Every day there is news on this enthusiastic adornment and/or SLASH solo work. Here, we just hit the high points. For additional, frequent information, check out the Velvet Revolver on this site. Also follow the News Section for additional updated aggregation on SLASH's newborn band. Rock 'N' Fuckin' Roll!
SLASH's life once seemed a symbol of rock and roll decadence, but things have calmed down with him in whatever ways. Once a heroin addict, SLASH has been off drugs for several years. His astounding crapulence habits are sometimes in evidence, and he ease smokes his Marlboros and Galitanos. A major modify occurred when SLASH fell in love with Renee Suran.

She pursued her own career as model and actress. Renee and SLASH both appeared in Howard Stern's movie \"Private Parts\". The two separated and divorced in the fall of 1997. They rest friends. After his divorce, SLASH was in Las Vegas when he ran into a teen woman he had known for whatever years. Her name was Perla Ferrer, and the couple soon began dating seriously. Perla and SLASH eventually started living together, and fans started seeing Perla on the SLASH's Snakepit tours and his appearances in clubs or on TV. It became country that Perla was someone very special to SLASH, and in 2000, the two became engaged to be married. Perla's beautiful, sparkling diamond ring was fashioned by SLASH himself. On October 15, Saul naturalist married Perla Ferrar in Maui in a solemn relgious service there.

If you are in the Sunset Boulevard area, you might run into SLASH hanging out with Perla and his friends or ECM with a adornment on the Strip. He looks healthy and bright and a lowercase more settled, but you can ease see a lowercase of that devilish rocker in his eyes!

He said SLASH was always in a hurry, zipping around from one thing to another. He named SLASH well!
Well, they’ve been talking about it off and on for months, and a few photos have even gone around the web, but Gibson yesterday officially announced the release of their new Slash 'Appetite For Destruction' Les Paul, and based on the photos it’s a real beauty (take a look at that wood grain, yum…)
To honor the Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist, and apparently based on classic Les Paul Standards circa 1958-1960, this latest Custom Shop creation will sport the aformetioned gorgeous two-piece “reverse-chevron” Grade AAA figured maple top, which has been finished in a nitrocellulose “Unburst” lacquer, and fastened on top of a chambered, or “weight-relieved” mahogany body.
Electronics will include a pair of Seymour Duncan Signature Series Alnico II Pro Slash humbuckers, which are meant to recreate Gibson’s highly-prized PAF humbuckers from the late ’50s and early ’60s, along with traditional 3-way pickup switching, individual Tone and Volume knobs for each pickup, and a Switchraft 1/4″ output jack.
Other stand-out features are expected to include a single-piece, Grade A, quarter-sawn neck of mahogany w/slim ’60s neck profile, a rosewood fretboard (12″ radius) with 22 jumbo frets, trapezoid fret marker inlays, TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, Tone Pro Kluson-style Crème Key tuners w/press-in bushings, a high-density Corian nut, and a custom Slash graphic on the headstock.
The Gibson Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul will ship in a plush-lined black Gibson hardshell case with a silk-screened Slash logo on the front and an owner’s manual, and is currently selling for a street price of just over $2800… actually surprisingly cheap compared to some other recent Gibson Custom Shop creations.
The new Gibson Zoot Suit SG guitar is the ultimate for stage style and playability. The word “Zoot” is jazz slang meaning extravagant style to which this guitar encapsulates. At first glance, one might think that the unique coloration of the Zoot Suit guitar is simply a clever paint scheme. Incredibly though, there is no paint used on the guitar.
The Zoot Suit
The body of the Zoot Suit features a brand new body built with multiple birch wood laminate pieces (each one approximately .075” thick), each dyed with a different color then compressed and bonded together to form one solid block of wood. No paint is used. Each body is given two coats of satin nitrocellulose lacquer.
By reorienting the dyed laminates opposite from the body, you can view the pin-stripe color pattern through relief designs that have been machined out of the head veneers, which also allows maximum strength to the overall structure of the neck.
Featuring a brand new body built with multiple birch wood laminate, each laminate piece is dyed with a different color then compressed and bonded together to form one solid block of wood. Two coats of satin lacquer are then applied to provide a smooth finish and also help protect the body from any damage.
Unique
Standard sg features. The features are less in the mechanics thaqnin the body which is unique and gorgeous. Plays well,good action and tone.Im sure it will outlive me. It is a tad heavy if they could fix that with some routing like they did on the les paul.
