Ant Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't count on it, at this point in his career he looks like he's really into what he's doing with MK&C. For sure, I have no expectation of it . Just my wish as a major slash devotee haha.I feel like comfort is ultimately the enemy of really great music.

moreblack Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'd say he's doing alright for a dude in his 50s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 He's a once in a lifetime talent. Fuck doing alright. And fuck thinking 50 requires you to slow down . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 most would agree Slash wrote his best stuff with Izzy.A lot of that was Slash writing parts to compliment the ideas Izzy's brought in. Izzy was the more prolific initiator of songs back then. Slash would just take those and make them heavier and turn them into more riff based hard rock.That's another myth along the likes of Axl being a perfectionist.I don't know about myth, you can definitely hear it in the songs they did together, and the songs they did apart afterwards. Still, Slash brought in a ton of great riffs that were the foundation to classic Guns songs. WTTJ, SCOM, Paradise City and many more.Izzy was crucial to the construction of Appetite as well. Out Ta Get Me, Brownstone, My Michelle, You're Crazy, Nightrain. All songs Slash made 10 times better imo. They were the perfect guitar duo.Even Ghost has some of that magic. Like it sounds right, it fits their 2 distinct guitar styles create something unique.I wish the Illusions had that guitar interplay.Crazy that one of the best musical elements about Guns was Izzy and Slash weaving together riffs, leads, and chords and that wasn't a part of UYI.Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Duff write the Jungle riff?lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDay7 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Too Far Gone has a cool riff, solo, and breakdown.I do like parts of it, but the lyrics are so bland they annoy me.What i find incredibly frustrating about Slashes solo work is the lack of a certain precocious ginger warbling over em. Sorry to state the obvious.Do you not rate Slash's solo work at all, Len?No Safari Inn?I preferred Watch This.Safari Inn is boring, although I've probably only listened to it twice through.I love Safari Inn - one of the few tracks I really like on WOF, actually. I wish Slash would take more risks, creatively. Seeing him live was amazing but I'm not over-excited by some of his solo album work. He's a once in a lifetime talent. Fuck doing alright. And fuck thinking 50 requires you to slow down . This I agree with too, despite some of my frustrations. A superb talent - but I guess I'm not into the MK and the C stuff that much.

Memdroid Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 He should do a Hard Rock/Blues album in the veins like Gary Moore but with his own style and with a singer who compliments his chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoking guns Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I would love a blues hard rock album from Slash like Gary Moore did. Would he amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) He's never really been a blues guy though. There's bluesy elements in his playing. But he doesn't really do pure blues.And as for hard rock, that's him 100%. If he were to do Gary Moore type work it'd be closer to Thunder Rising or Out In The Fields, than Midnight Blues, or Still Got The Blues.

It's another to make a Joe Bonamassa type of album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash2baz Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well regarding a blues album Slash has already somewhere; he said never say never but not his plan right now, he prefers to keep focus on Conspirators + his movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well regarding a blues album Slash has already somewhere; he said never say never but not his plan right now, he prefers to keep focus on Conspirators + his movies.He prefers to focus on his chosen genre. It's what he does best. A blues album could limit Slash, but I admit it sounds interesting. Maybe at least a couple of tunes, but he's more of a rock guitar player.

moreblack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Exactly, he couldn't possibly top the best blues players that are already out there. But he can always write something like Anastasia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Exactly, he couldn't possibly top the best blues players that are already out there. But he can always write something like Anastasia.I think he is more varied musically like inside what he does. He incorporates new elements and flourishes but it's still hard rock.He's also finally doing more interesting song structures which was lacking in the past especially on his solo album and Contraband imo.I hope Conspirators 3 builds upon what they did with World On Fire. Make it short and sweet like the early Aerosmith albums.I totally believe they can top World On Fire and I listen to it often. The consistency of this band and momentum is what gonna really help them imo. You don't have to spend too much time in the studio to create a great album if you're inspired.Alice in Chains went into a studio with no intention to actually record an album or anything written with a bass player that has never written with them before. They wrote and recorded Jar Of Flies in a week. Edited August 11, 2015 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
