LEGENDARY FILM PRODUCER ROBERT EVANS
JOINS GUITAR VIRTUOSO SLASH AND COMPOSER JEFF DANNA AT TOWER RECORDS SUNSET
FOR SPECIAL IN-STORE SIGNING OF
"THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE" SOUNDTRACK ON AUG. 6th
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Legendary film producer Robert Evans, subject of this summer's Focus Features release The Kid Stays in the Picture, appeared at Tower Records Sunset for a special in-store signing of the film's Milan Records soundtrack CD on Tuesday, August 6th at 7:00 PM.
Mr. Evans (who, as chief of production at Paramount Pictures, oversaw the production of such classics as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, and Love Story) was joined for this special event by guitar virtuoso Slash (whose rendition of Nino Rota's unforgettable "Love Theme from The Godfather" will be available commercially, for the first time, as part of the soundtrack); and The Kid Stays in the Picture composer Jeff Danna (whose other film scoring credits include O and Green Dragon).
Focus Features will release The Kid Stays in the Picture on July 26th in
New York and Los Angeles; on August 2nd in Orange County; and on August 9th in select cities. The Kid Stays in the Picture traces the meteoric rise, fall, and rise again of the legendary Hollywood producer. Adapted from Mr. Evans's tell-all autobiography, the movie takes the audience on an intimate journey into the mind of this Hollywood legend, and is narrated by Mr. Evans in his distinctive voice and storytelling manner. Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Brett Morgen and Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes) and producer Graydon Carter bring this Hollywood tale to life utilizing visual effects, archival footage, clips from classic films, and 35MM photography by cinematographer John Bailey to create a rich visual and aural portrait of the man who, throughout the 1970s, was considered Hollywood's "Golden Boy." The Kid Stays in the Picture made its World Premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival; and was a Special Screening selection at the 2002 Cannes International Film Festival.

kbobrod - 8/20/2002 7:47:42 PM slash is the biggest bum guitarist in the world.and his pictures speak for themselves.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!get up you fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1chick4izzy - 8/18/2002 12:48:27 AM Like I said Things have always been this way with these guys. And the resemblance between Slash and Gene,nah. What was scary was my exboyfriend who could be Slash's identical twin, fucking jerk. Made for intresting sex though, especialy after he would play Sweet Child for me on his Gold top Les Paul(same as Slash's). That's just twisted isn't it?
1chick4izzy - 8/18/2002 12:39:55 AM no, it wasn't Duff's dad who called him Slash first.
xtrahd - 8/16/2002 11:37:20 AM I love Slash skill with guitar and Appetite is still one of the best rock albums ever, but he's not the best. And now he looks like a hispanic drug dealer. The most horrible shirt I have ever seen.
venom18 - 8/15/2002 5:26:41 PM I always wanted to know that myself.
VicRattlehead502 - 8/15/2002 11:11:02 AM I think Slash is a talented guitarist... but the best ever?!?!?! Mmmmmmmmmmm-no. Marty Friedman has forgotten more about the guitar than Slash will *EVER* know.
Meisterchow_1 - 8/15/2002 11:00:31 AM Slash got his nick name from a childhood friends dad who used to call him that because he was such a metal scruff. It just kinda stuck after that. I'm not sure but it might have been Duff's dad, I can't confirm that one.
Wartpig - 8/15/2002 2:55:44 AM Slash is Cool. I never really liked Guns N roses but ive always thought Slash was a Great Guitar player. Ive always Wondered how in the Hell he got that Nickname. Anybody Know?
leroidesrois - 8/14/2002 6:46:01 AM elfdio: great guitarists you name ,no doubt about that.
i wouldn't say however that page's playing is flowing.
He seems always on the edge of playing out of tune and out of time, that's what i like about him because he's the only one playing like he plays and he is awesome. But for me, playing like this is the opposite of flowing but it's memorable that's for sure.
In my opinion, Slash is as good as Page in guitar playing, not in songwriting though.
My favorite is Alex Lifeson
elfdio - 8/13/2002 5:04:28 PM leroidesrois if you want flowing memorable solos Jimmy Page is the man also Ty Tabor from Kings X.
leroidesrois - 8/13/2002 3:41:40 PM Slash overrated? fuck no! He's really one of the best guitar player i've heard. Just listen to his solos, always flowing, always recognizable, memorable. You can sing his solos. And he's fun to watch , have a style so elfdio who are your favorite guitarist? i'm curious
tzw - 8/13/2002 12:09:45 PM Yeah, the similarity between Slash and Gene Simmons is almost scary! LMFAO
