Killing Floor - Slash feat. Brian Johnson
MaskingApathy replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Yes 100% This is absolutely not true. If his heart wasn't in it he wouldn't be on tour with them right now. -

I don't think Slash is sitting there counting YouTube views. He's still planning on making a new SMKC record later this year, the blues album isn't going to change that. -

Some of the songs on 4 could've used a little work on the arrangements, so that they're not all the same. They could've been developed a little more. -

Yeah they were awesome back then, although I think by that point Jason Bonham had left and they had gotten Joey Castillo to fill in for the tour (major downgrade from Jason imo). Glenn and Andrew had a falling out too I think so that was the end of the band. Tbh I think it was just one of those magical things that just happens once; I don't think they would've been able to top that album. -

Same with the songs from 4, they sounds much better live. California Breed was really good because (apart from being mixed by Vance Powell who is an audio wizard) Glenn Hughes and co had really good songs to begin with and they had everything prepared and ready to go (and Glenn is a great songwriter). Another record that he ruined is the last Sammy Hagar and the Circle album. Songs could've been better, production was disappointing. And he told Sammy to not play guitar and just focus on singing so that he could play guitar (which is a douche move imo). -
The fact is, Slash is up there playing at the Oscars and you're not, so no one cares about your analysis of his mistakes. He also flew in from Korea right before the gig and flew back right after, so he was probably pretty jetlagged also and possibly didn't have a chance to fully rehearse with them.

Common thread there, Dave Cobb produced the GvF record also. Pretty much every "rock" type of record that he's produced has sounded worse than other albums by the same band (another good example is Boneshaker by Airbourne), unless it was mixed by someone else (like the California Breed album which was mixed by Vance Powell). I guess Dave is good at making country records but he has no idea how to make a rock record that sounds like it was recorded in this century. -

Agreed. The other big issue is that there's plenty of cool song ideas but they needed a good producer to develop them into something better (take them from good to great). I think Clink would've done a better job than Dave Cobb. -

I'm hoping that this leads to Mike Clink doing the next SMKC record. Such an improvement in production compared to 4. -
I mean that now that they've been doing GnR successfully for 8 years I don't think they're interested in rebooting VR. Yeah once SMKC got going he probably decided that he preferred that to trying to redo VR, especially since he was playing some VR songs too back then.

No, I want more SMKC. I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Slash and The Conspirators 2024 tour

Yeah he's dying it for sure. I don't think he's got hair attached to his hat but it's definitely starting to become thinner. I know what photo you're talking about though.
