*waits impatiently for tour dates*

yes, yes...where can we find dates? i've looked online and only really found his myspace. i'd rather find the dates elsewhere. does slash happen to have a website? www.slashonline.com just redirects to myspace.

Velvet revovlver forums have active pages in their subforums along with the gnr forums. I imagine when the dates are finalized they will be posted everywhere including this site. I believe when Slash heads up to Toronto next month for a music business conference there will be some major announcements made, if not beforehand. He said he will be releasing the names of the other band members soon. I'm surprised noone has started a thread on who they will be.

I will be very interested to see who else will be backing Myles up. I think it'd be funny if he chose Steven "I just want my best friend Slash back" Adler for drums.

I heard speculation that it could be Josh Freese. Also Chris Charney on bass. Dosen't Adler still have some sobriety issues? This will be a house "band" type of affair I believe so I could imagine Adler wandering onto the stage at some point during a tour, along with Flea, Izzy, Cornell, Ozzy, Fergie, etc.

Freese would be a pretty good choice... I can't really think of anyone else Drum wise (that's free anyway), I guess he could always bring Matt Sorum back...I think he's pretty solid. I'd go with Daniel Adair if he wasn't doing anything with Nickelback.

Freese would be sick.

Yeah dude, he's been in rehab like two dozen times. I think he still makes like $100k/year off of Appetite sales, so he's got no real reason to kick the habit and get his life together.

Its like Slash is ignoring Matt. After all those years of loyalty... *hearts Matt Sorum*

Updates from Slash...

"Will have Asian & Australian tour dates in about a week. Then Europe, then South America."

"US tour will be in the Fall. Australia includes NZ. Discussing S. Africa & other countries."

Damn man. This is crazy. I never believed once that the Slash/Myles combo would be coming down under to OZ. Fuck yeah.

I don't care what people say. Sorum is a sick drummer.

He just fits perfectly with Slash's and Duff's style. Very fond of his drumming.

I keep forgetting that all this recent news is for real. AB back in the studio... Myles touring with Slash... it's like I just dreamed it. And then I come on the boards and remember "oh yeah, that's true."

Indeed. Adler had a nice feel to his drumming, but he was sloppy as hell.

Yeah... Sorum >> Adler.
