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.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
