[4] Recording for Slash's debut solo album began in September 2008 with different singers being enlisted for each song,[5] including Ozzy Osbourne and The Black Eyed Peas vocalist Fergie.

[15] Myles Kennedy was chosen to front Slash's solo band for the resulting promotional tour, and just a few months later Live in Manchester, a live album documenting the group's performance at the Manchester Academy in July 2010, was released.

[16] The following year, Made in Stoke 24/7/11 was released as a live album and video, which documented the band's performance at the Victoria Hall in Stoke-on-Trent, his childhood hometown, in July 2011.

[21] In 2012, with Kennedy now a permanent part of his band, Slash released his second solo album Apocalyptic Love, which reached a peak position of number four on the Billboard 200.

[14] As of April 2014, Slash is recording his third solo album with Kennedy and their band The Conspirators (Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz).
