The Dandy Warhols have joined forces with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash for the new song “I'd Like to Help You with Your Problem.”
It is the latest single from Dandy Warhols' upcoming album. ROCK MANUFACTURER, available March 15. As if to make good on the album's title, the Dandys chose none other than Slash himself for the song that he himself describes as “Vietnam-era acid rock.”
The churning chord progression and big hooks are right in Slash's wheelhouse, and he adds some captivating wah-wah leads and seemingly the solo in the middle of the song. It's a perfect collaboration, with some rare ax work from a living legend.
“The first time we heard it in our studio we stared at each other with our mouths open,” said frontman Courney Taylor-Taylor. “What he played on the court is amazing. I had never heard him play like that, but what fascinates me is that he is clearly the one playing. As recognizable as a familiar human voice.”
Taylor-Taylor went on to say that it was a “Hail Mary” to try to get Slash on the track, adding that it became “apparent that there really was no one else whose hands we could put him in.”
Last month, the Dandy Warhols released the single “Danzig with Myself,” featuring another music legend, Pixies frontman Black Francis.
The Dandy Warhols will support the launch of ROCK MANUFACTURER with a two-week North American tour in March. You can collect tickets. here.
