FOURTH ANNUAL MUSICARES MAP FUNDSM BENEFIT CONCERT
ON MAY 9 TO HONOR ALICE COOPER AND SLASH

Concert Event - Sponsored In Part By Gibson Foundation - At The Music Box @
Fonda In Hollywood Raises Funds For MusiCares® Addiction Recovery Services

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (March 20, 2008) - The fourth annual MusiCares MAP
FundSM benefit concert, honoring legendary artist Alice Cooper and renowned
guitarist Slash, will be held on May 9, 2008, at The Music Box @ Fonda,
6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Calif. All proceeds will benefit the
MusiCares® MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access
to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.
The benefit is sponsored in part by the Gibson Foundation.

Cooper will be honored as the recipient of the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for
his dedication to and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund and his devotion to
helping other addicts with the recovery process. Slash will be the
recipient of the MusiCares From the Heart Award for his unconditional
friendship and dedication to the mission and goals of the organization.

"The issues of addiction and recovery have been front and center this past
year," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy® and
President of MusiCares. "And our annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit draws
attention and raises funds to support the critical resources we offer
members of the music community from all walks of life who may be struggling
with addiction. We thank Alice and Slash for being strong supporters of our
cause - it's more important now than ever before."

The evening will feature a buffet dinner and a special performance by Blind
Melon (Glen Graham, Brad Smith, Rogers Stevens, Christopher Thorn and
Travis Warren). In addition, there will be a performance by the all-star
group Camp Freddy (Chris Chaney, Donovan Leitch, Billy Morrison, Dave
Navarro and Matt Sorum) along with some special guests. The evening will
also feature special performances by Cooper and Slash. A range of other
artists and guests will be announced shortly. Out of respect for the
clients the MusiCares MAP Fund serves, the event will be alcohol-free.

"When I got sober more than 20 years ago, the MusiCares MAP Fund did not
exist," said Cooper. "It's so important that musicians and other music
industry people have access to the kind of resources MusiCares and the MAP
Fund provide and I'm proud to be honored this year and help raise funds to
support this significant work."

"There are specific challenges to being sober in the music world, but for
individuals who have addiction problems, every story has a common thread,"
said Slash. "And that is the first step to recovery is to ask for help -
for music people, the MusiCares MAP Fund provides that assistance."

Tickets are offered at three price levels: floor placement in a private
living room grouping of 10 for $12,500; floor seating for $1,000 each; and
balcony seating for $100 each.

About the Honorees:
Alice Cooper
Being described as a legend in one's own time is certainly a blatantly
abused cliché, but no one has taken a vivid imagination and unusual persona
to the people with as much controversy and success as Alice Cooper. Cooper
touched a deep nerve in the minds of teenagers everywhere, bringing him countless
gold and platinum albums from around the
world, including Love It To Death, Billion Dollar Babies, Welcome To My
Nightmare and Trash, featuring such anthems
as "Eighteen," "Elected," "School's Out," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," as
well as the classics "Only Women Bleed" and "Poison."

With plans for a new album in 2008, he shows no sign of slowing down.
Cooper's recently released book Golf Monster, an autobiographical book
about how he transferred his alcohol addiction to a golf addiction, is
chock full of anecdotes, photos, golf tips, and his trademark sense of
humor. The book was published in hardcover in North America in May 2007 and
in the UK in September 2007, and will be released in paperback in May 2008.
Recent tour highlights have included a stop at the legendary Montreux
Festival, filmed for a recently released live DVD, three shows in 2006 in
North America as special guests to the Rolling Stones, and concerts
throughout North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and
Asia. The road is still Cooper's second home as he continues to tour
extensively throughout the world, with a full schedule planned for his 2008
itinerary.

Slash
Saul Hudson, also known as Slash, formed Guns N' Roses in 1986 with Steven
Adler (drums), Duff McKagan (bass), Axl Rose (vocals) and Izzy Stradlin
(guitar). Shortly thereafter, GNR was known across the globe as a new rock
and roll sensation. After the successful "Use Your Illusion" tour, GNR
decided to take a break. Needing to play music, Slash formed his own band
Slash's Snakepit, which issued its successful album It's Five O'Clock
Somewhere in 1995.

In 2003, Velvet Revolver was formed by former members of Guns N' Roses -
Slash, McKagan and Matt Sorum (who replaced Adler on drums in 1990) - along
with Scott Weiland (vocals) from Stone Temple Pilots and Dave Kushner
(guitar) from Wasted Youth. Their 2004 debut album, Contraband, sold
incredibly well and garnered them a 2004 GRAMMY Award for Best Hard Rock
Performance for "Slither." With the release of their second album,
Libertad, in 2007 and the subsequent world tour, Velvet Revolver has become
a rock band of magnitude, and Slash has earned his title as one of rock and
roll's great guitar players.

Established in 1989 by The Recording Academy, MusiCares provides a
safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need.
MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical
and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and
confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the
music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and
welfare of the music community. For more information, please visit

As a result of acquiring MAP in September 2004, MusiCares developed the
MusiCares MAP Fund as a pool of resources set aside specifically to address
addiction recovery and sober living needs. Named for the Musicians'
Assistance Program, the MusiCares MAP Fund represents the joint goal of MAP
and MusiCares to provide members of the music community access to addiction
recovery treatment regardless of their financial circumstances.
