SLASH & Friends

Filed Under chester, news 

This Sunday November 22nd at Avalon in Hollywood, SLASH & Friends will play a benefit show for Los Angeles Youth Network [LAYN], an organization aiming to end homelessness among kids. Some of those “super friends” appearing at LAYN Rocks include Ozzy Osbourne, Perry Farrell, Billy Idol, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park & Dead By Sunrise, Travis Barker, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother, Dave Navarro and a few surprise guests. Plus, Mr. George Lopez will be MC-ing.

Does performing on stage with other musicians tend to breed studio collaborations later on for something like your solo record?

No, this show actually has nothing to do with my solo album. One doesn’t feed the other. However, having done a couple gigs with Chester Bennington makes me think about him if I’m writing a song. If there’s a song that’s right for Chester, I’ll be like, “I’ve jammed with him, he would be perfect for this!” Performing together on stage inadvertently fuels future collaborations. The correlation isn’t totally direct though. But, if there was an idea, we may come back to it. The more people you know that are singers and musicians, the bigger pool you have to pull from when you want to do some sort of collaboration.

Well, the lineup looks legendary enough to be worth the sleep deprivation.

[Laughs] Musicians are coming from all different directions. We’ll all convene over the weekend and rehearse. Then we’ll put it together on Sunday and see how it goes. It should be a lot of fun! I’ve worked with pretty much everybody on the bill. I’ve never played with Travis Barker before, which is going to be cool. I’ve never worked with Andrew Stockdale outside of the studio, but he’s a great guy. I’ve played with Chester, Dave Navarro, Billy Idol, Perry Farrell and Ozzy live before. Having all of these amazing get together is incredible. For me, to be on stage the whole night while they walk up is huge. [More]

Thanks to Ana A. for this.
