Slashed rumours

Velvet Revolver guitarist sets record straight on Led Zep

25 March 08 - Slash has been setting the record straight on those rumours Velvet Revolver would be supporting Led Zeppelin on a tour.

He said: “There’s been a huge rumour going around about us opening for them and I think that was something that was just taken out of context.

“As far as Zeppelin doing a tour, I think that remains to be seen anyway and I saw Robert last night.

“He’s got his thing going on, he doesn’t look like he’s gearing up to do a Led Zeppelin tour.”

He went on: “As far as Velvet Revolver is concerned – we’ve got another record to do – we’re not really thinking about that y’know.”

Velvet Revolver are playing in London on 25 and 26 March and will go on to perform in Brighton on the 27.
