Slash's bassist Todd Kerns has written on his official blog about working with Slash. Kerns says he and Slash are heading to the studio with singer Myles Kennedy, drummer Brent Fitz and guitarist Bobby Schneck, and with producer Eric Valentine.
Kerns said: "Back when I was originally asked to support [Slash] on his first solo tour, I wasn't sure if it would be a month or maybe fly-outs on weekends or what. Now here we are a year and a half later and we're getting ready to record a new CD as a band. did not see that coming.
"We have been working on riffs for a while since we were on the road even. Those riffs have ballooned to almost 20 songs and growing. We have been hard at it in several writing sessions and are now in the midst of two weeks' rehearsal. We'll be entering Barefoot studios with Eric Valentine in a few days to start work on the first few songs. We'll finish up the record before the end of the year.
"Eric has produced a lot of amazing stuff, including Slash's last record. We'll be in the very studio where one of my favorite albums ever was recorded - Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age (produced by Eric Valentine). It promises to be very exciting. I'm stoked!"
Slash recently Tweeted, referring to the original guitar he used to record Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction, "Played my original AFD Les Paul all day today. It’s been a while. It’s like an old friend. Such a great guitar (sic).”
The new Slash album is expected in the spring of 2012
