Hey all, as you may or may not know, the producers for American Idol have asked me to be the mentor for "Rock Week" next week. I was reluctant at 1st, but they offered me the freedom to do it however I wanted.

More importantly, there are a few singers this year who are really impressive. Its the 1st time any AI line-up has really caught my attention.

The approach I'm taking is different than usual on the show, & I'm going to make this as Rock & Roll an American Idol as possible, wish me luck!

Outside of that, things are going great in the studio, we are officially past the 1/2 way point, with some really cool collaborations coming up in the days & weeks ahead.

That's really all that's going on that's fit to write about, I'm mostly working, but I'm having a great time.

See you next week, cheers!

Thanks for the update Slash! Really looking forward to the album.....Also, are you going to be performing on AI? I assume so and would just like to request performing one of your new songs if that's possible. Good luck bud...

YEAH!!! Make sure you make ADAM LAMBERT & ALLISON IRAHETA sing Guns N' Roses tunes!!!! Also tell Adam when American Idol is over with this season you want him for the new frontman for VELVET!!!! I really think he would be a great fit for velvet with the way he screams it seems kinda perfect for you guys. GOOD LUCK on IDOL , can't wait to see you finally make American Idol ROCK OUT with a real ROCKER! $afe. BDie$el!..

Oh man! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!..Slash... you have to get Adam.... YOU'RE SLASH!!!!....I know as a guitarist... you will NEVER find a singer like him... talent...TALENT... not just luck with good tone.. the fucker is an actual artist! ....Make him an offer that he can't refuse... I'm sure he'd do it just to play with ya'll, but offer him a mil like Metallica did for Robert... This guy is it!!!!! and again... you're SLASH brotha!!!!!!!!....He's like a young Bach... with actual talent... a lot of it, and vision/style... and range that is out of this world! UNREAL oppertunity.....Man, what a project that'd be....

You should have kept being reluctant. This just gives the Slash haters another reason to talk shit. Meh, whatever, it'll be cool (I guess). BTW, Adam Lambert may be a good singer, but he IS NOT right for VR. Don't get any ideas, Slasher...
