MidnightToker Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) It's been reported that SMKC covered Elton John's "Rocket Man" for a documentary called "Stuntman." There are even pictures of them in the studio - https://gnrcentral.com/2018/04/16/remember-how-slash-and-myles-kennedy-were-going-to-record-elton-johns-rocket-man-a-few-years-ago-well-it-maybe-coming-out-soon/ The IMDB page for the documentary says it was released last September -- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6539830/ But I can't find the film anywhere, and I certainly can't find the song. Anyone think we'll ever hear this? It'd be a shame if not, since it apparently has already been recorded.

I would love to hear Slashes take on it and think it'd suit Myles nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Myles sounded great on the "Levon" cover he did during his solo tour: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would have gone straight to DVD release but it hasn't as yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderram Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I assume this has been posted elsewhere but I have yet to see it. Here’s a condensed version of the song. A full version can be downloaded eventually by contributing to a Kickstarter fund.

MaskingApathy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Looks like the Kickstarter is inactive. 16 minutes ago, thunderram said: I assume this has been posted elsewhere but I have yet to see it.

I’m not sure what’s going on there. The documentary launched on Disney+ a few days ago, so I imagine we’ll get more info on how to get a full version soon.

ToonGuns Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I don't like Slash's tone too much these days. I'm not a guitarist so I don't know what's changed, and he's still one of my favourite guitarists still playing, ut he had much better sustain and tone in the 90's and early 2000's. The acoustic bits are amazing. I'm talking about the solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @MaskingApathy Was it produced by Mike Clink? Myles sounds so good... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightToker Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wow, this is great. Whoever produced this needs to produce everything Myles is on, including AB and solo albums. Sounds way better than what he's been doing with Elvis. I also thought he sounded great on Back to Cali and Starlight, which again was a producer other than Elvis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Mike did Rocket Man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
