In the ever-revolving, never-evolving drama that is Guns N’ Roses and the will they / won’t they reunite drama surrounding their upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the “all you need is hate” motif seems to still apply.

Ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash attended this year’s ‘Slacker Canadian Music Week’ in Toronto — but as he readies for Sunday night’s sold-out gig at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, he took time to sit down for an interview.

It’s a Guns N’ Roses reunion, just not the one fans were hoping for. Slash and ‘Appetite for Destruction’ drummer Steven Adler are going to be in studio tonight (March 15) to cut tracks for Adler’s new album.

Slash sure has been chummy with the Brits lately. First he recorded a series for BBC Radio Two, and now he’s been featured on the BBC TV show ‘Top Gear.’

Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Tommy Lee and seemingly dozens of other rockers and actors are all featured in a new documentary called ‘Sunset Strip’ that premiers at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas on Friday.

When confronted during a recent interview with a rumor that he once twisted tongues with the tallest member of the animal kingdom, Slash insisted it wasn’t his fault. She kissed him! The guitarist told the story from his glory days with Guns N’ Roses while on Australia’s Triple M Radio.

Slash has released more details on his second solo album, the follow-up to the 2010 ‘Slash’ project which featured a crowd of guest-vocalists. ‘Apocalyptic Love’ will feature Myles Kennedy on vocals and be released on May 22 through Slash’s Dik Hayd International label.

Slash is a pretty busy guy these days, between filming commercials with Betty White and responding to rumors of a Guns N’ Roses reunion at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony — but that isn’t enough to keep him from preparing to unleash his new album ‘Apocalyptic Love’ on a rock-starved planet, or from recording a new video teaser, complete with a bit of the first single ‘You’re a Lie.

Impatient to hear Slash‘s upcoming album, ‘Apocalyptic Love’? You’re going to have to wait until late May for the whole experience, but the former Guns N’ Roses guitar god has been kind enough to share a clip from the record to tide us over in the meantime.

Once again, the hard rock world will spend Memorial Day Weekend converging on Pryor, Okla. for the seventh annual Rocklahoma Festival. Earlier today, AEG Live, the promoters of the festival, announced the lineup for the three-day event. As usual, this year’s roster brings together many top present and classic hard rock and metal acts from May 25-27.

Slash has revealed the first dates for a 2012 U.S. tour in support of his upcoming sophomore solo album. The Guns N’ Roses guitar hero will be backed by singer Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

A year ago, Slash was in Texas rocking out with pop stars the Black Eyed Peas and Usher as part of the Super Bowl XLV halftime show. This past weekend, he was a good 2,000-plus miles away from Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis — and for good reason. The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist was in Los Angeles wrapping up his second solo studio album, which is slated for a May 22 release on Slash’s own Dik
