Hey, I hope everybody is doing well, these are some pretty harsh times we're experiencing at present. But, I feel optimistic that things are going to get better in relatively short order. I have faith in our new president, especially after 8 years of having absolutely no faith in the last one whatsoever. Obama seems to be on the path to righteousness, I guess we'll just have to watch & wait.

Anyway, hard at work in the studio, we are 6 tracks into it & it sounds really great, great playing & super killer tones, not to mention stellar vocals so far. I'm still not at liberty to publically divulge any singer's names, but trust me, they're amazing. I know a lot of you out there know who at least some of them are.

I will however, give you working titles for a couple songs; "we're all gonna die" is one, "These last words" is another. There is one song called "Crucify the dead" & another called "Beautiful, dangerous. We have about 8 songs left to record & I'm really excited about every one.

On the VR front, not a whole lot news to report singerwise , which is a drag. But, this is one of those situations where just when you're ready to give up, something great happens. So, we're hanging in there until then, no matter what.

That seems to be all that's fit to update, other then I missed Jeff Beck 2 nights in a row this week, which is a bummer. I did record some bitchin' guitar stuff instead though.........but still.

Ok boys & girls, gotta go, see you next week.

I'm working on getting an Adam Fox Demo for you. I'll send it to your management company as soon as he gets it completed. I think once you guys hear him, you'll agree, he's pretty amazing in all departments. http://www.myspace.com/adamfoxxx..

Looking forward to the new cd. Jeff Beck was F'N off the charts. I saw him in CT and Philly. Glad to hear you guys haven't given up on VR. Was hoping you were going to make it to the Road Recovery Benefit this year. You still have a week to change your mind!..

Two things I wanna say:....1) Thanks for the update Slash, I'm one of the biggest fans you'll ever find of "The Real GNR!" I like VR too and am really excited for the solo album...2) Why did you have to go fucking make a stupid ass political comment? I mean come on man, it was a throw away comment that'll do nothing but alienate around half of your fans. I gotta say I'm disappointed and never thought you'd pull one of those dumbfuck moves like so many celebrities do. I respect your right to an opinion, but it's just idiotic in this setting with no context. Hope you don't do it again.....

Glad you guys haven't given up on VR. Hey I could be the new singer for VR. I'm not any good and can't rap either, but I'd have to meet you to audition, right? ^_^ ..

Na, no need 2 be so private about your music slash. I guess you have your reasons with papaci and publicity though. No shit, I'm not giving up on VR, considering the libertad cd was the best alum ever. I bet u go through a million singers weekly, just hoping 2 find the rite 1. Its all 2 overwhelming, just pick 1 and go with him. Hey, why not do something different like you've never done be4. Try a black singer and see how that goes...

Yay for morbid! Woohoo! I know what it's like when things go bad. I have a bad life. Things for once are starting to look up for me.....I don't have much hope for Obama. What is he doing for us poor people? No offense, but he's still helping the rich people-while times get more tough for us. This economy is not getting any better...
