It isn’t your everyday Staffordshire-born lad that gets a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, unless you’re
Slash, that is. This first true-solo effort sees the man responsible for some of rock’s most iconic riffery joining forces with the friends he met on the way (including
The Cult’s
Ian Astbury,
Lemmy and
Iggy Pop) and is a rocking riot from the off! ‘Crucify The Dead’ sees
Ozzy’s distinct vocal complemented by
Slash’s unique style while the gentle ‘Promise’ ft
Chris Cornell and the hefty
Duff Makagan /
Dave Grohl-led instrumental, ‘Watch This’, are must-hears. The only duff track is ‘Beautiful Dangerous’ featuring
Black Eye Peas bird
Fergie.
