Slightly off topic but this seems like an appropriate thread...

Can anyone point me towards bands that sound like Alter Bridge? I'm a fan of their sound but Myles' voice just kills it for me 

Tremonti. Mark is lead guitarist for Alter Bridge and therefore his solo band sounds similar (but heavier) except with him on vocals.

Contraband is better than Use Your Illusion for me - second only to Appetite in Slash’s catalogue.

I like the new album but, as a Myles fan, I must admit he sounds uninspired which is a shame because he dropped a masterpiece in Year Of The Tiger earlier this year. 

Slash and the band sound red-hot though. I think Slash, ultimately, is ready to get back onboard the GNR album train.

I’m a huge Myles fan but I’d agree that he sounds waaaay better on deeper songs like he performs solo and with Alter Bridge. The problem with SMKC is that there’s very little substance to their songs, whether that’s Myles or Slash’s fault depends on who’s pushing the fun-times, bbq Rock theme on their albums. There seems little for Myles to get his teeth into unlike Fortress, Blackbird and Year Of The Tiger.

Best Axl has sounded all year.

I’m at Download, Axl struggling tonight. Feel for the guy as you can tell he’s pushing for something that’s not in the tank.

Thanks for taking the time to clear the air Fernando. I gave you a bit of shit on Twitter after your post so I respect your coming here to answer questions.

Here’s mine: With the new Conspirator album/shows on the way, is Axl planning to go see any shows or even guest on stage?  Obviously Duff and Slash went to support Axl with AC/DC so it’d be interesting if that support is reciprocated. Also how does Axl feel about Myles Kennedy’s singing?

Bit gutted really. I enjoy SMKC but it’s neither Slash nor Myles Kennedy’s best outlet and I do wish they were focusing on their main bands. GNR, in particular, aren’t getting any younger.

Myles has just added dates into the end of May for his solo tour. Presumably, if SMKC is recording, then Myles is out.

Slash is working on something that he’s keeping under his hat. At this point it’s clearly GNR material.

I’m nearly positive we’re not getting SMKC at least - Myles is clueless about it and Todd is so open with his fans that we’d have had three or four blogs by now if they were in the studio.

Somethings cooking with GNR (maybe been pushed to the frontburner if Angus isn’t ready to write/record Axl/DC following his recent bereavements). 

I think you could get Axl to knuckle down on a Guns record if he knew he had to get it done before working with Angus. I also think we’ll have (at least) a new song before Donnington.

Slash makes all the difference here: he’s a respected, professional musician who releases albums in a timely fashion.

New GNR 2018, it’s obvious at this point.

Mark Tremonti has also alluded to Slash and Myles doing another album next year in a recent interview too. http://birminghamstages.net/catching-up-with-mark-tremonti-of-alter-bridge/

I think it's looking like there will be a new SMKC album and tour from the backend of next year through to summer 2019 with Alter Bridge bringing out an album late 2019. Good thing Myles likes to stay busy - potentially 3 albums in just over a year!

Here's the first single off Myles Kennedy's solo album (also titled Year Of The Tiger.).

Its not rock, its acoustic led singer/songwriter style and the single (as well as the whole album) covers the year Myles' father past away. It's very different to both Slash and Alter Bridge.

The album's out on 9th March, here's the first single. I really like it:

2019 is now very interesting too as Alter Bridge will be starting a new album cycle then, meaning no Conspirators 2019 either. I think we're getting a Guns album early 2018 honestly but if not, 2019 is a certainty. (Unless Slash is getting a new singer for Conspirators).

Myles is gearing up to release his album, Year Of The Tiger and go on a solo tour next year. Alter Bridge also stated they would be bringing out an album 2019. No way Slash will bring out a new album and tour in such a small window of time in comparison to previous Conspiritor tours.

The momentum is behind GNR, Slash has been wanting back in for years - it isn't stopping anytime soon. I stand by my opinion that GNR will bring out some kind of album during the down-time run up to summer which will reignite interest for a Euro run. I'd even bet on Download being the first show.

Let's just see if I'm right about a new album this year too... 🤔

SMKC won't happen; Myles has recorded a solo album which he plans to tour in 2018 and in 2019 he's back in the studio with Alter Bridge. SMKC, for the time being, seems to be done. Genuinely think we'll get a fast-tracked GNR album followed by whole new tour starting in Europe.

This CROWD sucks! In RIR 1991, people were jumping and singing SCOM like there would be no tomorrow. Now, they just raise their phones. I was at last show in Rio and the crowd sucked.

Sadly, it's not the crowd - see how they reacted to Alter Bridge the day before. And Myles was sick...

It was like that in parts of the first London show too. Some fatty woman in front of us got drinks for her friend and they were all loudly chatting away and paying no attention to the band except for when SCOM was played.

Really ruins the atmosphere and is fucking annoying when you're trying to have fun and rock out.

i think the problem is many people who aren't necessarily fans, booking tickets just to say they saw Guns N' Roses, like as a fashion statement.

I was there last night, there's no signal whatsoever so impossible to stream sadly. Although I wouldn't have anyway, was too busy having the BEST time!

Just got back. Had an INCREDIBLE time. I thought Axl was in great voice (just check out Jungle and, more tellingly, Sweet Child o Mine for evidence), Slash is a beast and it was a great party atmosphere in the stadium on a beautiful, warm summers evening. Couldn't believe how early they went on too.

Expectations exceeded, you need to catch this show. Best Jungle and SCOM of the tour?

Seriously Ian, fuck you...and that fat ugly Manc' bitch of yours.  Oooh, the nazis and the marquis de sade, yeah, you're well hard mate...oh sorry, no, cuz you're not anything anymore are you?  Just another fuckin' pedo slag due for an unmarked grave to be missed by, ummmmm, no one.

Bye Ian!  Byeee, byeeee, happy trails Ian, so long, fare fuckin' horribly.  Shame there aint a God or there might've been a hell i could've met you in to kick you in the bollocks at.

I still wonder what is people trying to argue.

Steven came to Argentina and was allowed to play only one song at each show. That is a disgusting thing to do and it's not up to discussion. It doesn't matter if that's the original arrengement or not, it's something disgusting to do to an old friend (and the fans, we were over the moon having Steven here and the band didn't care even when it meant no effort to let him play one more song each night at least). They had Angus Young (who I love but has NOTHING to do with GNR) playing two covers at three shows in a row but they couldn't let Steven play at least the two songs he had been playing with them at both shows. If you're ok with this, if you don't see how fucked up it is, then I'm sorry but you don't have a fucking heart.

Ths is not about Steven being a saint as some people want to present it. As I already said, I'm a way bigger fan of Slash and Axl than of Steven but I love them despite the things they do wrong, I don't need to pretend they do everything perfect. And I'm not even talking about Steven playing a full show nor all his songs at the shows because that can be more complex and they might have reasons to not do that (which they're stupid enough to not explain and just give vague answers), I'm talking about letting the guy play the two songs everyone was expecting at both shows. There is no possible explanation for that that could make sense, it's horrible, it looks like trying to make it clear to Steven that he's not wanted.

I was very pissed off and disappointed when Duff accepted to open for Axl's solo band with Loaded a few years ago. It was very similar to this, it was painful to see Duff being some sort of a bonus and then seeing a band using the name GNR with some random dude playing bass, playing Duff's stuff for 2-3 hours. It didn't make any sense and it was sad because Guns N' Roses is Duff's band, not Tommy Stinson's (and I love Tommy, not saying this against him). I mean, there are videos on YouTube titled "Guns N' Roses featuring Duff McKagan"!! What is that shit? There is no Guns N' Roses without motherfucking Duff McKagan!!! It was easier to accept Izzy's case because he seemed to be sort of disappeared and so it was nice to see him join Axl and play for his fans once again. It was weird and it was awkward and it was wrong but it was better than nothing. Duff's thing was more painful but he accepted it because he wanted to reconnect with Axl and it paid off (Axl said it wasn't the same guy as back in the day or something like that and here he is now). Now Steven's case, he just couldn't win, he was never given a real chance of anything. He was silent for the whole year, he practiced as much as possible, showed up at every gig he was invited and it made no difference. He did it because he NEEDED to do it and he probably felt/thought things could get better with time. Eventually he ended up putting an end to his participation when he finally realized that there was nothing else coming for him, that he was gonna be a wildcard showing up once in a while to play the same two songs while some random dude who has nothing to do with GNR was there playing HIS SONGS. And thank God I didn't have to see Slash guesting in GNR, standing on the side watching Dj or Finck butchering his songs, otherwise I would have probably jumped off a bridge. Maybe I should have taken the easy road and pretend Axl Rose is Guns N' Roses and who else is in the band is irrelevant but I can't, I happen to love this band, not just one man, one of the five members. The band with its spirit and sound and style and image and attitude.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the casuals don't care and it doesn't matter if the band don't honor it, there are five guys who created this band, made it work and changed the lives of thousands of people. Steven's place in GNR's history can't be taken away and that warms my heart, especially when I have to see so many people unnecessarily trying to put him down for no reason. SLASH + IZZY + AXL + STEVEN + DUFF = GUNS N' ROSES

10/10 post dude. Couldn't agree more.
