Slash plans Sebastian Bach collaboration

Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash is planning a collaboration with Sebastian Bach.

The Skid Row vocalist told Billboard that the project sounded "mind blowing", but claimed he was sworn to secrecy about the details.

However, Bach insisted that he would not be acting as a replacement for fired frontman Scott Weiland in Velvet Revolver.

Bach said it would be too "awkward" because of his close friendship with Slash's former Guns N' Roses bandmate Axl Rose.

Fiddler's Green were formed in 1990 in Erlanger and were major players in Germany's folk-rock rebirth of the early and mid '90s. They perform a residual of traditional Irish songs and original compositions in a expressive style sometimes redolent of the Pogues and Oysterband only they besides add twists of ska and nods to Johnny Cash and Tom Waits. They helped spawn many corresponding German bands like Tapsi Turtles, Paddy Whack and In Search of a Rose.


Their first tercet albums Fiddler's Green, (1992) Black Sheep (1993) and King Shepherd (1995) were quite consistent Celtic rock collections featuring particular playing by fiddler Tobias Rempe and accordionist Stefan Klug coupled with Peter Pathos' cracking original songs and intricate vocal harmonies. On and On (1997) was their first major label expiration and likewise marked the get-go signs of a more than rock oriented sound for Fiddler's Green. Jim Crichton (Saga) was employed to make Spin Around(1998) which cemented their reasoned transformation despite the comprehension of threesome traditional songs.
