Slash joined by former GNR bandmates

Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash was joined by two other ex-members of the original Guns lineup, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and others, at a benefit gig on Sunday night (November 22nd) in Hollywood for the Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN). At one point in the show, Slash was joined onstage by former Guns drummer Steven Adler and bassist Duff McKagan for a rendition of the Guns tune "Paradise City" with Bennington on vocals, making for perhaps the highest concentration of original Guns members to share a stage together in years.

According to NME.com, other surprise guests at the show included Rage Against The Machine axeman Tom Morello, singer Billy Idol and Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro.

Slash has enlisted a number of rock and pop luminaries to appear on his upcoming solo album, Slash & Friends, tentatively due out in March 2010.

Among the artists appearing on the album are Dave Grohl, Flea, Chris Cornell, Duff McKagan, Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Nicole Scherzinger, Meat Loaf, Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Ozzy Osbourne, who contributes vocals to the first single.
