I went to see SMKC yesterday for the first time and I must say, man what a band. They sound really REALLY good.
Myles is a beast as a singer, he sounds EXACTLY as the recorded songs. He is pretty static and IMO lacks the rocking edge I love about Axl or any of the great singers/frontmans out there.
Slash...well, he gets the show going, we all love him with all our hearts, I get goosebumps just looking at him on a stage. But his lead playing was really a let down. I've been saying this for a long time now, but all the extended solos go nowhere melody wise...he seems to be trying to prove he can play fast licks that have nothing to do with the song that's playing. He even fucked up the Fill My World solo...
He is great on rythm though...but it's a big let down how he got worse and worse in comparison with his former self.
This is MY opinion and I'm just sharing it.
He'll always be my favorite guitar player, and in studio he still is the best as well...dont know what's happening live, it may be the energy of the show or whatever, who known?
Great show overall.
