Slash Defends Fergie’s Rock Cred
After the cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City” from the unlikely combo of Slash, Fergie and Cypress Hill made its way online last week, former GNR guitarist Slash Hudson took to his Twitter account to defend the curvy Black Eyed Peas’ fox’s inclusion on the track. Or maybe he’s just making a general assessment about Fergie’s rock chops.
Here’s Slash’s tweet:

Screamer or not, Prefix now notes that the guitar legend has yet to decide whether the “Paradise City” reinterpretation will end up on his upcoming Slash & Friends album.

Maybe this clip of Slash shredding it on stage in Vegas with Nicole last month to the slinky PCD number “When I Grow Up” will give some sort of indication:
