If there's not gonna be any new Guns songs, I'm all for a new Slash solo album. But not with the fuckin voice that sounds like a house cat being raped by a German Shepherd. For the love of monster porn Slash, find a new singer!!!!

But Axl isn't the singer on Slash's records. I'm confused now

Yeah, the odds aren't exactly in our favor going by the way Axl operates.  I'm just saying that one project won't necessarily impact the other.  In theory, Slash could spend just a week or so in the studio adding solos or whatever else to existing GNR tracks and that will be that and it can move on to mixing.

Unfortunately, it really depends on Axl's desire to make it happen.  Who knows where he's at with that as of today.  

A week to record solos? Maybe in a normal band, but not GnR. It took bumblefoot 3 years to redo bucket heads solos, that took him 3 years to record...

They're not going to put an album out during this tour (unless it's a greatest hits kinda thing) and they won't put an album out if not everyone's schedule is clear to tour it, so if Slash is planning solo stuff in a year or year in a half that doesn't leave time for a new album from GNR anytime soon.

I'm looking forward. :thumbsup:

Of course I also want new music from Guns, and hope they can sort something out. But it's not a zero sum game. If Slash is happy to do both – and we know he is, as he likes to keep busy – then there's no reason why both can't happen. And maybe even solo Axl, but I know that's really farfetched.

Who knows. Axl did say in that hour longish interview this year that he wished he would've done releases outside of a major label like Geffen (probably because its easier with less legalese). I mean look at Metallica (regardless if you like them or not), theyre releasing their new album on their own label, and they release teasers to their new songs, as well as new videos for them (3 as of writing this). Meaning they work on their own terms so to speak. So who knows, maybe Axl will just up and release one stuff

Those of us who are fans of both bands will always wish Guns had their shit together like Metallica. Imagine if Guns had a similar studio set-up, and we got regular behind the scenes videos. Imagine if they had the "5th member" concept. Metallica are a different beast, but here's hoping Duff, Slash and Axl can build the reunion into something more.

Did you listen to their latest teaser, Atlas, Rise!  I actually thought it could be about Axl.

If i remember correctly, there was only 1 or 2 productive studio sessions in late 2006/ early 2007 where Frank and BBF laid down their all their parts.

As for Slash, the best thing he could do is to undertake once again what he did with his Slash.. That beats anything any of the GnR members has done so far...

Agree.  :thumbsup:

I would love another SMK&C album but am I the only one who thinks that World On Fire can't be topped?

In my view, World on Fire is the first album in many years (probably since Snakepit) that truly captured what makes Slash, Slash.

All the solo albums in between didn't really do much for me

Slash has two choices: either give Axl his riffs and watch them be caked in overdubbery and mauled to the point of obscenity, before finely being chucked in a Vault forever, or, place those riffs and ideas on a good little rock album which can be created within a month or so, and will certainly see the light of day.

But how many riffs did Slash write for GNR? Not albums of them. Slash came up with some very significant riffs and contributions. But a Guns record was never just Slash riffs with Axl singing? It was Slash playing Izzy and Axl songs mainly (not to mention Duff, Wes) 

But songs like Garden of Eden, Don't Damn Me, Civil War, Coma, Locomotive would go a long way to making a GNR album the fans want, not to mention some of his solo material. I would rather he worked with Axl even if we only get 4 more classic Axl Slash songs than wasting potential material on Myles (he's a good singer but I hate his voice). 

Like you said Slash can just enjoy the solo situation, instead of having to deal with Axl. 

Maybe Axl just wants to use Slash on some songs but won't relinquish power to let Slash and Duff lead the way.

Quite a few: Jungle, SCOM (intro), Coma, Locomotive, Civil War, etc.

If Slash hands over riffs, they are never seeing the light of day again. Axl simply refuses to release new material.

Haha that's because we create drama out of nowhere.

I don't believe that Myles is familar with 'Axls side' of the GnR fanbase.

Check check and check again that if anything you want to say, that seems like a molehill, can in any way be turned into Mount Everest with Kilimanjaro on top. 

Because oh dear, I am one of those dreaded Axlites and I'm thinking bring on AXL/DC then, because SMKC is the only thing Slash has done I have no interest in and won't be interested in. Oh well.

Not really, Slash already has a record pretty much written (he can add/change some things here and there but it's mostly done) for which Brent and Todd were going to start recording their parts in may.

So, the guy is playing everyday at all times and recording ideas. He can show Axl hundreds of riffs and different musical ideas he's had during this tour and see if Axl is interested in working on some of those. This won't affect his solo album and even for following records, he can send Myles all the ideas that Axl reject. Maybe some of his ideas will end up nowhere 'cause Axl will like them but will never actually release the songs, but the guy's way too prolific nowadays, he has nothing to worry about.

Haha I'm pretty sure Myles is more than familiar with Axl's fans, especially after the Hall of Fame.

He just doesn't seem to be a drama guy (which is something Slash loves about him), if you like him and what he does great and if you don't, it's all good.

I'm not sure I want the AC/DC thing to happen. Slash is a guitar player so if he wants to tour 12 months a year, more power to him but Axl needs to have some time off IMO, otherwise it will take its toll on his voice.

Okay so let me get this straight. This band was supposed to release an album already with Slash it clearly got put off for GnR. They likely contacted Slash to find out when he thinks it's doable. Check old interviews on the album and tour info.

Axl said in an interview he showed some things he did to Slash and Duff and they like it. He says they can be on the album if they want. Meaning they are talking of releasing music together.

So how do we get out of this Slash has to go with this band because Axl will just throw his rifts in a vault?

Axl made it clear he gave Slash an opportunity to record with him. Slash already committed a while back to an album and tour with his other band.

If I seem to recall they even said Slash always recorded separately from the band anyway. I also seem to recall Slash working on the album around the time GnR was announced again.  This isnt like Slash can't write with GnR so he will with them. It's more like honoring something already agreed to.

Get Eric Dover or Rod Jackson back. They're better vocalist and probably cheaper. The best song Slash made post Snakepit and VR probably Watch This and Safari Inn.

Can't stand Myles voice, I can listen the song with Myles only one a times, because it's keep getting harder to listen after each song, he's better go back to Alter Bridge stay there. Although I'm sure their fan prefer to listen Mark Tremonti with Scott Stapp.

Slash to Record New Album in Spring 2016

Slash and his band are in the process of wrapping another tour leg in support of his World on Fire album, but fans of the guitarist may not have to wait too long for the next disc after they finally conclude their touring.

In an interview with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, it’s reported that Slash is 90 percent done with the writing for his next studio album. The guitarist revealed, “I live for live performing, but I can’t perform live if I don’t record.” As for his new music, he reveals, “The stuff for the next record is really great. One of the cool things about this band is that instead of peaking early and burning out is we’ve started at one place and escalated in terms of our creative inspiration.”

He adds, “It keeps getting better from record to record which is a really nice thing to have happen so yeah, we just seem to get more in a groove the longer we stay together and the harder we work on the road and so on. It just seems to come out in the new material.”

Slash says the next step in the process is pre-production for the album and he expects to go into the studio with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators in the spring of 2016.

And that’s not all that’s on his plate. The guitarist, who has his own Slasher Films production company, is dipping his toes into the film world again. “I’ve also got The Hell Within to shoot sometime in the beginning of the New Year so that’s the immediate stuff,” states the guitarist. Slash intends to finish up his touring overseas with dates that run through Nov. 24.

Yeah......, no.  For me, I rather see Mark Tremonti either solo or with Myles and Alter Bridge rather than see Creed.  In fact, I'm getting my wish now.  This is what I want to see.  My favorite band, Alter Bridge, touring on the backs of another great album in their catalog without having stuff like Slash's solo band getting in the way of that.  

It's not like Myles is begging Slash to do another album with Slash/Myles/Conspirators as soon as GNR is done touring or Alter Bridge is done touring their album.  He's got a solo album, that his fans want to hear and see it be released, waiting in case Slash still wants to do more with GNR (whether it is touring or recording an album) or Tremonti going back to solo stuff.

Not many is more like it. 

I think it's more important that Slash collabs on the whole record. It's true you have to tangle with Axl to do a GNR record. Finck was in GNR about 10 years and only really got Better out which was really written by him. Bucket only really did Shackler's and Scraped. 

If Slash is back you'd think you would give him free reign. A tightly edited WOF with one Axl epic could be a GNR album?

If try to be positive maybe Slash doesn't see it as that big a deal. He'll do a few tracks for Axl and collab where needed. He can do it after Myles.

Bucket also wrote Sorry. It's likely Axl will ask Slash to contribute to the album. I would think free reign, but even if Slash comes up with great solos and ideas, maybe Axl won't use it as is. It's possible he will want to edit or even pick from many ideas what he personally likes.

I have no idea how, I know Bucket is not Slash, but even his talent didn't allow him free reign. There is a rumor that Bucket thought it was going to be Axl melodies and Bucket mainly.

But this is Slash, maybe it won't be an issue cause his sound is basically the Guns sound. I still think Axl will want to direct and have the final decision.

As for The Conspirators, let's face it: it's gonna take years if at all for Axl to deliver, Slash riffs and solos on Con lll every 2 years is something to listen to in the mean time, I'm not against it.

But Myles has proved incapable of coming up with something that doesn't make you wish he was mixed low like It's Jason Newsted's bass in And Justice For All. It's brutal how generic he is and his timbre hurts my libido.

I got used to it, I listen to Slash's melodies, but you kinda wish it was all instrumental. Myles has nothing interesting to say, just not a good fit.

But Slash can probably come up with ideas for 3 bands, riffs and leads. I think most of the next Guns album will not be Slash and Duff tunes anyway so why not.
