Billy Morrison: SLASH SPEAKS

May 12, 2006

SLASH SPEAKS - CFR EXCLUSIVE

I wasn't going to post again until I was lying on a beach, soaking up the sun and feeling rested. But two things are important this morning. First of all - SIX FLAGS!!!! Oh my GOD!! What an amazing party. Joe Francis (owner of the Girls Gone Wild video company) decided to celebrate his birthday in style. So he rented the WHOLE of Six Flags Magic Mountain last night and threw the birthday party to end all birthday parties. Two thousand of his closest friends ran around the park like 7 year olds, with the aim of ending up feeling like they had just been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. And I am happy to report that Yours Truly achieved that feeling with professional gusto!! As my darling wife was unable to attend, I hit the park about 8.00pm with my partner in crime, CF videographer, Todd Newman. Unbelievably, EVERY ride was open, including the new Tatsu ride, and even the concessions and side shows were running. We hooked up with Matt Sorum (another perfect partner to do an amusement park with - the man has NO FEAR!!!) and that was it. Kids in Candy Stores, we ran around jumping on any Rollercoaster that appeared in front of us, front seats, screaming like little girls!!! I left about 11.00pm feeling totally sick, and the last I saw of Matt, he was striding off into the darkness to hit his 15th ride!!!

And the other piece of news also concerns Mr Sorum. As you guys know, I will not be doing CFR this week, so Matt is going to hold down the fort - and is bringing in a rather special guest. His very own bandmate, Slash. And according to Matt, they will be tackling all the recent rumors surrounding VR, Axl, GnR etc HEAD ON!!! Expect some juicy chunks of gossip, and for once in this business, you can get your information "Straight From The Horses Mouth"!! Slash has been a guest at Camp Freddy shows many times, but has never appeared on CFR. So tune in to Indie 103.1FM this coming Saturday, from 6.00pm to 8.00pm PST or log on to www.indie1031.fm and hear Matt and Slash hosting Camp Freddy Radio. I will HAVE to call in from Hawaii now!!

Thats the update. Outta here.

Peace

Billy

I swear...I just read Matt's blog about the party last night and you guys are like two little boys! Glad that you had an awesome time at 6 Flags.....

And AWESOME that Slash will be there on Saturday (though of course no one can fill your able shoes Mr. Morrison) and it should definitely be an interesting show...can't wait!

Have a great vacation Billy, and we shall see you when you are back from the beach...

Oh...and have fun at the MAP Musicares shindig tonight...we shall be looking for pics from that event since it's not being televised!

I can't imagine being on a rollercoaster and every seat filled with one of your friends! That would be so cool!

Hmmmmm Slash? Filling your seat. Even though we will miss you this should make for very interesting radio. Btw...Matt said that guest was #3 on his list. Who would be #1 and #2?? LOL

Have blast in Hawaii!

Slash did a bang up job in your absence. Squashed all the recent rumors and ONLY said "fuck" three times on air.
Our lil Slash is growing up ;-)
