With his two new Apple iOS-based applications, Slash is aiming to enhance the music listening experience for fans. Slash360 invites fans to enter his studio to relive the recording of his recent album Apocalyptic Love through six 360-degree spherical, panoramic cameras. "The app captures the energy of the band in the best way and MATIvision allows fans to experience the album just as if they were in the room with us," said Slash in a statement.

There are two versions of Slash360: an introductory version featuring the track "You're a Lie" plus extras for $0.99, and also a full version with the entire album and more for $4.99. The app is available now on iTunes.

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
