Demi Lovato Dives Deeper Into Rock With Slash on Temptations’ ‘Papa Was a Rolling Stone’ Cover


Hear Slash and Demi Lovato's cover of the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" from Guns N' Roses guitarist's new solo album, 'Orgy of the Damned.'

Most of the guest singers on Slash ‘s just-released album of blues and soul covers, Orgy of the Damned, seem like a who’s who of hard rock: Paul Rodgers, Steven Tyler, Billy Gibbons, Iggy Pop. But the clip also shows Lovato’s intensity as she reads the lyrics about making sense of an absent father and finding her own meaning in words like, “And when he died, all he left us was alone.” Her voice even climbs to the same height as Slash’s guitar for the final solo. Slash previously released videos for his rendition of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Killing Floor,” which features AC/DC’s Brian Johnson on vocals and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler on harmonica and screams, and Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well,” with Chris Stapleton.
