Sebastian Bach has revealed that Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has contacted him about working on a 'top secret project' together.

The ex-Skid Row frontman denied rumours he'll be taking Scott Weiland's place as the singer of Velvet Revolver, saying it would be "awkward" given his friendship with Slash's former Guns N' Roses bandmate Axl Rose, who is no longer on good terms with the guitarist.

Bach told Billboard he's been sworn to secrecy about the new project, but said it was "mind-blowing".

Weiland recently left Velvet Revolver to embark on a reunion tour with his band Stone Temple Pilots, and Slash's band are still searching for his replacement.
