Slash And Fergie Cover GN'R

2009-11-10 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 56 Comments
Former Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has recorded a cover of his old band's classic 'Paradise City' with Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and Cypress Hill.

The track is set to appear as a b-side on a Japan-only single also featuring the song 'Sahara' with Japanese singer Koshi Inaba. It is not yet known whether either of the tracks will appear on Slash's upcoming solo album, Slash & Friends, which has been penciled in for an early 2010 release via Roadrunner Records.

Both tracks are now available for streaming via Youtube.

Slash did some pretty ace work with Guns... and now he's trying to deny the fact he is not of any musical importance anymore.

Sick and wrong!
Fergie slightly gained respect for wanting to be invlolved with a good song for once..... but Slash has lost respect for allowing her.

Because he's releasing an album?


No, because he releases an album with no musical relevance.

I could care less for Fergie, she sucks

On the other hand however, due to a certain vocalist's inclusion... I'm very looking forward to Slash's solo album, which is hopefully gonna rule face

"No, because he releases an album with no musical relevance."

I'm pretty sure the album will be alright. It has flea, Alice Cooper and Iggy pop among others.

Yeah i'm looking forward to the album and the guest stars on it that are actually great musicians. Not looking forward to anything Fergie is contributing to it though.

It wasn't as terrible as it sounds on paper, but It's the scary fact that he did it that worries me

Would have been much better without Cypress Hill sucking so badly in the verses...and the intro "oohh yeaah my main man Slash in the house!" I thought Cypress Hill were supposed to be good?

somewhat impressive on Fergies part, pretty damn lackluster on Slash's and Cypress Hills though, didn't sound like they were putting much into it...though I dunno if Cypress Hill should have been involved in this particular collaboration in the first place

Sahara was mind numbingly boring and Paradise City was just bad. What's worse, Fergie was actually the best part of Paradise City and my friends, that is no fun at all. The Cypress Hill's parts were just depressing tbh

Am I the only one who is having his mind blown by the combination?

Slash is a has-been, Fergie is a never-was, but Koshi Inaba is actually pretty awesome. Granted, I'm probably the only American on this site who knows of or likes B'z, but still!

Agreed with Metalstyles. Fergie happened to be a redeeming factor in the Paradise City cover. Cypress Hill's rapping was pretty terrible.

^^ this, Cypress Hill were terrible and Slash just sounds bored. I actually like Fergie's voice for this song, she has that Pink "rock chic" sound, suits her better than that Black Eyed Peas shit...

Just because you know him doesn't make the song suck any less...it's extremely generic. And I do listen to a bit of Japanese music (The Pillows, Maximum The Hormone, etc.) thanks to my friends...but this song still sucks, and as much as I love Slash his riffs just sound like an uninspired bored version of his GnR material.

I heard Myles Kennedy is making a vocal appearance on here. He could pull it off easily.

I didn't say the song was good. I'm just stunned that someone appeared on the EP that wasn't either untalented or washed up.
