DO subscribers get this as part of our subscription?

If not why not?

ScottR EditorInChief

Hello Mr Stuff: No, subscribers don’t get it. Why? Because it’s not a regular issue of Classic Rock – it’s a special, one-off, stand-alone, bells-and-whistles, never to be repeated, limited edition, onsale for 4 weeks only, buy-two-and-sell-one-on-Ebay, type deal.

Don’t think of it as an issue of Classic Rock, think of it as the Slash album, with 2 bonus tracks that won’t actually be on the Roadrunner version, released a month before that version… with free gubbins AND the ultimate guide to the making of the album. The mag is like the greatest sleevenotes ever – including interviews with many of the people on the album – plus an over-view of Slash’s career (and is edited by Mick Wall).

It’ll be great – but I’m afraid it’s not what you subscribed to or for.

This month’s issue, meanwhile, DOES have the full new Joe Perry album…

@stuff

Stop whining

GazzaScotland

I don’t think so. Since its a “Classic Rock Presents” and not just another monthly issue.

Caroline

Will it be for sale on the newsstands outside of the UK as well? Cause I live in the Netherlands and I want to make sure it’ll be for sale here as well.

Agent Robbo

oh, and while we’re having a whinge, can we go back to having some prog back in the mag please, I’ve been a reader since issue 1 and a bit disappointed that I’m now expected to buy 2 magazines to read about me fave bands.

Ta

Looks like a Roger Dean cover if looked at from an angle. Useless observation, I know.

Sounds fab. I’ve got my order in. I am really enjoying the Joe Perry CD that came with the latest CR – a welcome change to get a complete album rather than a compilation of tracks.

Good evening.
I’ve a question: I’m italian and I want this pack, so how can I get it? Can I call and order it or have I to order it online? Or can I find the magazine here in Italy [Milan]?
Thx
Nik

How can I get it in Romania? In my town there’s only one store in one mall when Classic Rock arrives regularly and I’m afraid this special Slash issue won’t arrive. Help?!

Markos B

For people in europe, try play.com

wow song with Nisole Scherzinger woww

Soul Mover

No Problem Scott….I´ll just download the motherfucker…bonus tracks included ! If there´s a will, there´s a way !!!

Is the batch the only difference between the C.R.- and the play.com-Version ?

Chris Kinloch

I Thought Izzy Stradlin Was gonna Be In It?

Made four attempts to order this to be sent to TX, USA. Errored each time. I guess no Slash for me!

: (

PSBOTTE

Do we get the Cd on a jewel case or the usual cardboard package?

philip kay ridiculous 666

be on the safe side ordered mine on play .com and my favourite magazines so one will still be in its wrapper whilst the other one il will devour every page on slash and play the cd upto 11,

surprised Axl Rose hasn’t sent in his lawyers to prevent slash from covering “Paradise City” with cypress hil and Fergie, put it this way slash and co have done a lot more in the 15 or so years than it took for Axl to complete one measly album in CHINESE DEMOCRACY!

A pre pre-release for subscribers would be good!!!!!

CRUSADER

COME ON DO THE DESCENT THING AND GIVE US A SLASH PIN FOR ORDERING DIRECT FROM YOU.!.

http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/store/displayitem.asp?sid=421&id=36044 will get you the order page for US, Europe, etc. Made mistake and ordered 3 somehow! Got call from credit card fraud dept.

scott p

Is anyone going to answer the question about CD format, hope it’s a jewel case and not shitty cardboard.

Fifteen quid? Bit steep isn’t it?

If Alice is on it it cant be half bad

agus bayu

fantastic solo album of Slash..but i think he still has a band attitude…so he always need another vocalist..when will he create a total solo guitar? i don’t know…but he’s very incredible guitar player..

Conor M

I really hope its not a cardboard case
If it is im buying this and the actual album seperate

Darren Jaynoy

I live in Oz and have been buying CR for years, admittedly getting the “latest” issue about 3 months after UK release so I guess we won’t get a sniff of the Slash CD. Never mind, Oz still rocks like a bastard, poor UK!!

ScottR EditorInChief

The CD is not like our the mag’s regular cardboard sleeve. It is, says Brad our Art Ed, “like a book, with the liner notes, in the book, and the CD at the back. Pics when we get em.

so, is it so called digi-book?

Gobberz

Might as well go through play.com, you get a few extra tid-bits as well as the album and badge.

Have I read this wrong only1,000 earlybird copies available for April 7th yet they go on to say they will be available in over 3,000 outlets on April 7th……..doesn’t make sense to me, can anyone tell me if I have read it wrong cos 1 copy in each outlet adds up to more than 1,000 being released on April 7th.

Can anyone tell me if this makes sense, 1,000 copies for earlybirds on April 7th then they go on to say they will be available in over 3,000 outlets on april 7th…..if each outlet only get 1 copy each thats more than 1,000 released on April 7th!!!????

haydenwce27

I’m assuming it will be on the shelves in Australia, yes? Like every other issue?

i think it will be on shelves only in UK (or maybe not even there) , for the rest of the world you have to order it online .

is it a proper CD or one of those Gay slip things?

Also why no Sahara song?? that is Ridiculous! Please add it if you can CR

I’m confused, if we preorder this now when do we get it?

Just ordered the mag from Australia just in case it sells out… This is an awesome idea that I hope is the beginning of a new way of distributing some great music. Plus, you get all the info regarding the album in one neat package. Well done & can’t wait to receive my copy (in excellent condition I hope).

PSBOTTE

Thanks for the Cd format update, Scott. Already ordered, really looking forward to getting it. Congratulations on a great magazine and website…I come here bascially everyday. Thanks

cargath

So how do you get the bonus tracks in germany if you don’t own a credit card (no one owns a credit card around here, when will people in the UK / US learn…?)?

PSBOTTE

I seriously enjoy this new way of dstributing music (Joe Perry, Slash)… I am actually willing to go a bit over budget for the mag… It’s great

JuJuGuru

Chris Kinloch………….

Izzy Stradlin plays on track 1. Ghosts

Jaci Lead guitar

amazing album!

thelasttroubadour

I pre-ordered the slash pack a few days ago.. when will it be delivered? Will I get it on April 7th? It says it is on sale the 7th but in my order confirmation e-mail it said it would be delivered in 7 to 10 days.. I’m a little confused on when I will get it.

Are you going to sell it in Italy on April 7th too?

When i try to order mine to turkey from the place it says “order to rest of the world” it says that my address isn’t valid with recipient 1. Please help?

Will I be able to buy slashpack of the rack in new Zealand?
Thanks

DirtyPixel

‘Paradise City’ seems to have been taken off the track list over on the Myfavouritemagazines site??

Was there when almost ordered last week – typo, or has Axel thrown his toys out?

Will the new Myles Kennedy track “Back From Cali” be on this version of the CD?

In the new issue of CR on page 56, the pic of the Slashpack,on the right hand side there’s a pack of Slash pecs, anyone know if they come with it?!…they aren’t listed anywhere? Anyone know?

ricardo

dont rate slash that much so wont be forking out 15 nicker hope there is just a regular issue out in april if not need to buy a rival mag

DirtyPixel

ricardo – The Slash issue is a one off and doesn’t replace the regular CR monthly.

To answer my own question about Paradise City, I found this via Google:

*********

“Thank you for pre-ordering Classic Rock Presents Slash.

Due to legal reasons, Paradise City feat. Cypress Hill and Fergie has had to be withdrawn from this limited edition deluxe version of the Slash album. Fans should note that a brand new track, ‘Back From Cali’ has now been added (feat. Myles Kennedy) and that the exclusive ‘Baby Can’t Drive’, (feat. Alice Cooper & Nicole Scherzinger) still remains. The Slash Fan Pack still contains an exclusive 132 page deluxe magazine, a woven Slash patch and a giant fold out poster.

The Slash Fan Pack will be on sale April 7th.

The tracklisting for the Classic Rock deluxe format of the ‘Slash’ album includes:

Thought that might be useful to anyone who didn’t already know ;-)

Mick Wall…

As featured in Get In The Ring?

fuzzybear

you know im kinda glad the paradise city bonus track isnt on there! heard the song – and while its OK – nothing special, but love the original i think its much better that slashs first solo album proper doenst have anything to do with GNR on! While again the original times were good, we all know all of its gone sour – and GNR – is now just Axl!
Let him have his merry (crazy) way and lets enjoy Slashs new offering – which im sure will completely outdo Chinese democracy in critical and commercial success :-)

I pre-ordered my copy from HMV. Will that version also have back from cali on it? i’m a huge alter bridge and mayfield four fan and really want that second Myles Kennedy track!

Cheers, can’t wait

pikos apikos

Holy cow! Huge feedback indeed! If any CR man can see this please distribute this issue throughout Europe in every single country. By the way i’m from Greece so bring it on motherfu#ker…! :)

Lee Underwood

The pre-order for this item says that it is SOLD OUT. Does that mean they are all gone or will there be more on April 7th when it officially goes on sale?

to Lee

Bought a copy in HMV this morning so copies are still available

rachelle

Is there any way to get a copy of this in Canada. Can’t seem to order it online unless you in Europe or US

manzo27

Hi,I bought this cd in preorder……..when I’m gonna have it??? I’m waiting -.-’

Phillie

Adam stein

My friend and I never received our pre ordered Slash special edition magazine with CD.
