MaskingApathy Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'm 100% ok with a new SMKC album and tour. I kind of care more about that now than a new GnR record. Even if they did more SMKC dates for the current record I would be happy with that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will, but I think he needs a breather, I also think SMKC need a breather because the material wasn't there on the last release. Slash and co should spend a bit more time with the material, live with it and then get in the studio and bang it out. Seemed like the record was made in a short window of time and the quality factor was not the top priority. They didn't want to make an average album obviously, but the results speak for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Alter Bridge doing in the foreseeable future? Dizzy Reed is supposedly hitting the road with Hookers N Blow in November and December. *sigh* Alter Bridge are on tour this upcoming summer..

Hell Yeah! \m/ First of all, GNR can easily do an 80-90 minute set like most bands out there. Then they'd be able to "change it up" every night. Instead, we get three hours of nearly all their hits. But to specifically answer your question: At Louder Than Life, I got "Madagascar" and "Yesterdays" and "Patience." At Voodoo Fest, I got "Dead Horse," and "Don't Cry." "Slither" and "Shadow of Your Love" were performed at both shows, but were new for me compared to previous shows I attended in 2016/2017. The last show I went to prior to this year was 2017 in Chicago where I heard "This I Love," "There was a Time," "New Rose," the Godfather theme, "Used to Love Her," "Sorry," and "My Michelle." And again, they play for three hours and play most of their hits and I've still seen variation in the set lists during different legs. But keep complaining on a message board. I'll keep going to the shows and having some of the best times of my life. Edited November 8, 2019 by GnR Chris 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last record had some pretty good ballady tunes. "The One You Loved is Gone" and "Lost Inside the Girl" were really good. The rockers were sort of lacking.

The rest seemed generic, some parts of the songs seemed like a rehash of GNR songs like The Great Pretender is almost written like Dont Cry & parts of The Call of the Wild has a Dont Damn Me feel to it. My favorite is Serve You Right cool riff and solo, eventhough the structure of the song kinda pissed me off when I first heard it cause I wrote a song called Same Ol Jive with pretty much the same intro minus the kick drum but with a cowbell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I thought this last SMKC tour was the best ever. Almost all originals, the new songs were really good live, and the band was the best it's ever been. It felt like the first time that they were standing there on their own with their own material and not depending mainly on Slash's back catalog (although the WOF tour had a lot of original material too). I hope they come back sooner than later but I guess we might have to wait a few years if Myles needs a break. I do think the LTD tour was a bit short and part of me wishes they hadn't done these GnR dates because maybe then the SMKC tour would've been longer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yes, SMKC should take a break, a long break, like, a permanent vacation. 😏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing them earlier this year and how slash gets into the material and the showmanship of the band and general commaraderie compared to how slash is onstage with gnr is like night and day. He seems so much into SMKC. I wonder with nitl and slashs gnr committments if they rushed LTD out rather than maybe working on it a little more.

Again, I think Myles is eager to work but the tank is running dry. 3 albums in just over 12 months, is crazy! not to mention constant record/tour cycles for how long? I think they hit the nail on the head with WOF, and tried to just duplicate it... unfortunately the worst songs on the extended version of WOF are better or just as good as the best of LTD album.

DieselDaisy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I am surprised you are all acting so surprised. This is exactly how Nugnr operated. The last two nugnr tours were corporate re-brandings if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beto 22 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I heard a rumour somewhere that Myles will take a break until the next Alter Bridge cycle... He is supposed to have played 300 shows by the end of the year and it took a price to his vocal chords... Maybe Slash will have 2020 to focus on GNR.

See if this does end up being true, I suspect the AB offtime portion of the cycle will be shortened since I doubt he will take a year and a half off from singing completely unless he just does a solo record and a small tour. Personally I'd be fine with another SMKC album and no tour although their show was one of the best ones I've ever seen. In relation to GNR i doubt they will end the NITL until they release a new album. No point changing it when it can remain branded as a reunion tour. Although I wish it was over so we could get a new album... unless they were to come up to the pacific northwest again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles from the vids I saw wasn’t even a good version of Myles! And I don’t really love his SMKC singing on his best days. He seemed spent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The SMKC show in Montclair, NJ that I went to was good. Slash was awesome. I think SMKC will be on a long hiatus. Myles doing 300 shows combined is nuts. That guy deserves a bit of a break. You also have a member of the band dealing with his wife's chemo treatments. I'm sure he's going to want to spend additional time with his wife. You also have the drummer dealing with his retina surgery. SMKC will probably be gone for a few years while Slash is with GNR.

Well Myles will be touring with AB for the most part of next year and maybe even into 2021. I think he jumped straight into his solo record and then SMKC after the last AB album/tourcycle wrapped up, so I can imagine the guy just wanting like a year off or something... What I'm trying to say is; I guess Myles will be the one 'delaying' some further progress on the SMKC-front this time around. Which can be a good thing for GnR I guess Edited November 12, 2019 by LovelessNL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I bought a ticket actually based on the fact they weren't doing much/any old stuff. Them doing loads of GNR songs has been the reason I haven't bothered going in the past. The crowd were good too - they wanted to hear the new stuff. I was really impressed actually - Slash seemed really engaged and into it. I'd obviously take new GNR material over new SMKC stuff in a heartbeat though- that goes without saying I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
