16 songs and one instrumental tracked for follow-up to Apocalyptic Love

Slash has confirmed that work on his third solo album has been completed.

And although he doesn’t have a title, he does have a release date, which he’ll confirm soon.

The former Guns n’Roses axeman laid down 17 tracks – 16 with vocals and one instrumental – with the assistance of singer Myles Kennedy and backing band the Conspirators, who appeared on 2012 release Apocalyptic Love.

Working titles include I Wanna Pull Your Hair, It Puts The Lotion On Its Skynyrd, Cheap Dick, Manual Automation, You’re The Truth, Dirty Girl and Music To Murder Your Girlfriend By.

Slash reports: “These are all working titles – except for one. I don’t have the cover art and title just yet, but it won’t be long.”

He’s also said there are plans to return to the UK and Europe following his upcoming US tour with Aerosmith.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
