It’s easy to imagine
Slash as perhaps the most connected musician in rock and roll history — and on May 17, the iconic
Guns N’ Roses guitarist will release a new record,
Orgy of the Damned, with the help of a fleet of A-list musical pals.
Announced on Friday, the big news came with the debut of “Killing Floor,” originally known as a song from
Howlin’ Wolf. This time, Slash — real name Saul Hudson — is joined by
AC/DC vocalist
Brian Johnson and, for good measure,
Aerosmith‘s
Steven Tyler on harmonica.
Slash previewed a new album 'Orgy of the Damned,' with a Howlin' Wolf cover featuring AC/DC's Brian Johnson & Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
