Slash hooks up with another member of The Black Eyed Peas.

Slash has hooked up with will. i . am (yeah, the one who’s not Fergie. That bloke. Not the other two that nobody knows the name of) to rework The Who’s classic, ‘My generation’. All proceeds from the track will raise money for Haiti relief work.

“It’s The Who, their song, and then I altered the lyric to fit my generation now and then have Slash on it,” explains will.i.am of “will. i. am. drop the beat now” fame.

“It was awesome. I loved that song way before this even came up, and talking to Pete Townshend on the phone is like… ‘What?! I’m talking to Pete Townshend on the phone?!’

“That was awesome, being able to just hear their advice and everything. Those guys are just awesome.”

Fergie has already recorded vocals for a cover of GNR classic ‘Paradise City’, which will appear on Slash’s forthcoming solo album.

Slash will release his debut solo album this year in a unique tie-up with Classic Rock. The full details are here.
