In September 2008 , Slash began production on his debut solo album . He described the process of recording by himself as " cathartic . " He also mentioned working on the album gave him a chance to " ... take a little bit of a break from all the politics and the democracy that is a band and just sort of do my own thing for a little bit . Slash 's wife Perla revealed that many different artists would appear on the album , saying , " It 's going to be Slash and friends , with everyone from Ozzy to Fergie . " The album , simply titled '' Slash '' , debuted at No. 3 on the U.S. chart upon its release in April 2010 .

Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold , Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead , Dave Grohl , Chris Cornell and Iggy Pop . The album also features musical collaborations with former Guns N ' Roses members Izzy Stradlin , Steven Adler and Duff McKagan .
