SLASH Featured On New TRAVIS BARKER Solo Track; Audio Available - Mar. 2, 2011
Legendary guitarist Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) makes a guest appearance on the song "Saturday Night" from BLINK-182 drummer and hip-hop producer Travis Barker. The track, which will appear on Barker's upcoming solo album, "Give The Drummer Some", is now available for streaming at the KROQ.radio.com web site.
"Give The Drummer Some" is scheduled for release on March 15 via Interscope Records. The CD's first single is "Can A Drummer Get Some", featuring The Game, Swizz Beats, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. "Jump Down", featuring The Cool Kids; and "Carry It", featuring RZA, Raekwon, and Tom Morello, are currently available on iTunes. Other confirmed tracks include "Devil's Got A Hold of Me", featuring hip-hop supergroup SLAUGHTERHOUSE; "Misfits", featuring Steve Aoki; "Cool Head", featuring Kid Cudi; "Don't F*** With Me", featuring Paul Wall, Kurupt, and J Roc; "City of Dreams", featuring The Clipse and Kobe; and "On My Own", featuring SLIPKNOT's Corey Taylor.
In addition to the list of musical artists that Barker worked with on "Give The Drummer Some", he has enlisted his favorite artists from the art world to come up with a visual representation of each track on the album. The who's-who list includes seminal artists from the street, tattoo, graffiti, fashion and music world: Slick, David Choe, Mr. Brainwash, Mike Giant, Haze, Munk One, Nate Dino, Skinhead Rob, Cool Head - Jeff Soto, Richard Sanchez, Risk One, Chase Tafoya, Chris Peters, Dire One, Mr. Cartoon, Maxx242 and Usugro. Additionally, "Can A Drummer Get Some"'s cover art was created by legendary rock and roll cover artist Pushead. Pushead has collaborated on revered classic album covers with such recording artists as METALLICA and Dr. Octagon.
As Barker announced on Twitter, the album will contain 12 tracks, with 16 tracks to be included on the deluxe version. In addition, Barker continues to be actively involved with his clothing and accessory company Famous Stars and Straps, his label LaSalle Records, and his band THE TRANSPLANTS (with Tim Armstrong and Skinhead Rob), are gearing up to record their third album. Barker has also been in the studio with the reformed BLINK-182, who will release a new album in 2011.

Not really my sort of thing, although I guess a nice santana esque solo from slash.
It's always nice to check out a slash guest spot though cos some of them are pretty awesome. Think my fav is probably "Vengence is Mine" with Alice Cooper...although there's other good ones too!

It's OK, but I don't really understand the use of these 'I just pop in and play a little solo here and there' apperances. They are friends, which is fine, but once you call Slash, why don't you give him more space?
