rocknroll41 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Welp, it’s official. We’re getting TWO slash albums post-reunion before we get a GnR album, unless you count the boxsets… Sigh… Oh well… in other news: interesting to see a guitar company go this route, and cool of slash to support them in this way. Hope it all goes well for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Slash putting in the work keeping Gibson alive. Their level of partnership is unprecedented. He must be a huge cash cow for them. Props to them both. Glad to see Slash still out there making music, unlike someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonGuns Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 This wont be groundbreaking but it will be very good, which is good enough for me. Rnfnr please. Ronseal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'd say this is good news but I really hoped the release of this record would be this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be on tour with GN'R from July 2021 until November 2021 and then again from June 2022 until July 2022. That leaves a space of six months for Slash to promote SMKC.

MaskingApathy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Basically as long as GnR doesn't add more dates next year they can do a SMKC tour in the spring for a couple months then again from August or Sept through Nov. And then maybe some more in 2023. If they're looking at a early 2022 release then hopefully they'll release a single too (and hopefully it'll be really good).

The album will be released in February and the first single will be out next month. “It’s really a rockin’ record and we recorded it in Nashville in the studio live with Dave Cobb producing it,” he added. “It’s just really rad.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, really looking forward to the new single. Maybe everyone who is disappointed with Absurd will be more into this haha. Wish they would release his score from Halloween Horror Nights online. The one from a few years ago on Spotify is really good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know If it's similar to Driving Rain and Mind Your Manners then I doubt I'll be more into it.

ZoSoRose Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It seems they went with a new producer. I like Elvis, but this is good news for me. Alter Bridge, Slash, and Mammoth WVH all have a very similar sound, not just with the production but with the song writing, too. Maybe a new collaborator will lead to a fresher sounding record than Living the Dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not bad because there are enough other songs that I enjoy on each of his albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out some Whiskey Myers or Chris Stapleton, he produces their albums and many many other big names. Rival Sons too. This guy is legit and will sit in with the band and help them with songs and structure etc when needed plus he plays many instruments. This is a big deal.

Sounds like this guy could have been a better fit for the execution of Myles' solo albums than Elvis would (and I for one enjoyed Year of the Tiger and Ides of March, but Elvis' production is not for everyone and it may get a lot more tiring the more albums he produces in the Alter Bridge circle).

Ralphelmo Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 I was hoping for Mike Clink as I love the mix on Stuntman, but this band indeed needs a fresh look on their material, Elvis is way to predictable, even though I like his work on Alter Bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I also think a new producer is a positiv sign and good for the sound of the band. The lead singles of LTD could have been straight out of WOF. A new sound is necessary IMO. Hopefully Myles uses his deeper bluesier voice more on this one, instead of chasing the highest notes possible, as well as not trying to make a happy record. I think that's what he's good in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
