Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash almost appeared on Anesthetic, the debut solo album from Lamb of God’s Mark Morton, which features Alice In Chains bassist Mike Inez, former Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age singer Mark Lanegan, late Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots singer Chester Bennington, Buckcherry singer Josh Todd, and his own Conspirators bandmate Myles Kennedy.
Morton told RockSverige, “I’m friendly with Slash and we’ve talked a few times, He’s a Lamb of God fan, from what I understand. I had corresponded with Slash enough where I felt comfortable asking him if I could send him a song. I think it was while he was touring with Guns N’ Roses, when I reached out to him.
He replied: ‘Yeah, I’d consider it. I’m busy, but if I can find the time, send me the track and let me have a listen and I’ll go from there.’
What a positive and awesome response. In the meantime, I cut a solo for the song that I was going to send him because I hadn’t heard back and didn’t know what was going down, and it just so happened to be a solo I really loved, so I never sent him the song. [Laughs] That’s how that worked out.
Not that I’m better than Slash. Slash is one of my favorite guitar players. I love, love Slash and GN’R. I got a magic take and I didn’t want to let go of it. I just never sent the e-mail.”
