Slash Defends Fergie Team-Up on Guns N' Roses Classic

In a move that is likely to set headbangers frothing at the mouth with rage, one-time Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash has defended his decision to use Black Eyed Peas' vocalist Fergie to sing on a new version of his former paymasters' global smash 'Paradise City.'

The pop singer joins Cypress Hill -- famed purveyors of beats and blunts -- on the new rendition which appears as a b-side of the Japanese edition of Slash's new single, 'Sahara.'



Standing his ground, the cork-screw haired plankspanker was moved to write on his Twitter account saying, "Until now, not too many people have heard Fergie sing rock & roll but she sings it better than most dudes I know. She's a screamer at heart.

Quite whether the track is set to appear or not on the guitarist's forthcoming album, 'Slash and Friends,' remains to be seen Scheduled for a release in early 2010, the record will feature guest appearances from Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, Alice Cooper and the ever-busy Dave Grohl.

I havent even HEARD the song, but it really isnt YOUR decision to make. Fergie rocks and so does Slash and Cypress Hill.......and to M.Patrick Parker....... If you dont like Fergie, it's probably because you probably know she wouldnt HAVE you......why would you say she has herpes and sh*t, you dont know her, grow up>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jealousy will get you nowhere.......

Mac, you must be dreaming if you think this montrosity of a song "works".read the countless horror-stricken comments on the internet for a much needed reality check.

what has slash made work? not his bands, that for sure. 4 years max and yet another frontman walks out on him.

fergie unrecognized? her fasce is everywhere - thats the only reason slash hooked up with her, hoping to get the little kids to think he's still relevant. poor guy.

A man as good as Slash can make anything work! Fergie is a talent that so far has gone unrecognized by the rock world, Bring it on Slash!!!
