Free Slash / Grohl / McKagan Download

Slash has released a track from his forthcoming album for free download.

The instrumental song, ‘Watch This’, features the Foo Fighter frontman on drums and Slash’s GNR / Velvet Revolver bandmate on bass.

In a recent interview with MusicRadar.com, Slash stated about the song, "I wrote the basic parts and I had sort of a loose arrangement, but this was definitely the loosest song of the bunch, and having Dave there, who is such a dynamic drummer — I'd never actually worked with him but I'm very familiar with his drumming — and with Duff there too, they're both very creative so I knew we could throw this together.

"I didn't want it to be epic, I wanted it to be three minutes long, and it came together very quickly with a very spontaneous, live kind of vibe. Actually, I tried to get Dave to sing it, but he wouldn't sing it, so I just said fuck it, we'll put guitars on it. He was adamant about not singing, he was like, I just wanna play drums, and he's a fucking phenomenal drummer."

Slash releases his self-titled debut solo album as a standard edition on 10 May but on 7 April releases a special collectors edition Classic Rock Magazine Fan Pack which features the album (with bonus material) and a special edition of the magazine.
