Slash and Fergie, 'Beautiful Dangerous'
Friday, October 29, 2010 at 12:01AM
Slash and Fergie have a new video for their song "Beautiful Dangerous." The video is very Glam. I have to admit, I'm surprised at just how little clothing Fergie is wearing in this clip. Still, I read the video concept was all her idea. Watch closely - catch all the classic GnR references?
"Beautiful Dangerous" is from the album Slash.

thanks for posting that up!
The song itself is good but i give a C on the video.
I'm picky.
Great video. Love the whole "Roaches and Whiskey" feel of it.
Whoever said she could be wearing a little bit more, huh-uh-lo-oh! I'd say this concept would lend itself to even LESS clothes, but they do have to get it on the air, or at least attempt to.
Regardless of anything derogatory we can say about her looks, she's a killer singer and this is a great song, great video and of course, Slash is particularly great in his performance (though, I will say, he doesn't have to do much other than play his guitar) in both the song and the vid.
It's cool because I was bored of The Black Eyed Peas before I even heard 'em and bored of Slash before the last time I saw G'n'R in '92 (And I saw him guest on stage with various characters like Bang Tango and Gin Gypsy back in the day, as well as catching him twice in Velvet Revolver).
But put these two together with this little dittie and you've got something fresh(er).
This girl should put out a Rock Album! Still, reality is the pop stuff is what keeps the little girls dancing (and buying).
p.s. The product placement is subtle and humorously appropriate with the "slashed" graphics of the Monster can he's drinking. Hey, with production costs soaring and nobody to pay for it, can you really blame them, even tho it's a little unrealistic he'd be drinkin' that sh*t other than because of his kinship to the graphics...
Please don't kick the half-naked girls out of glam rock videos. It just wouldn't be glam rock without them. :)
Nice video, clumsy product-placement, kind of creeped me out a bit (but then, I have a huge problem with people who turn into psycho fans). The only thing was... I wanted the song to be better. Both performers have the talent, and the video seems to warrant something more edgy.
Just my opinion though. It's a good song... but it could have been better.
And she has a face that could crack a mirror!
