skik08 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yea I never thought about by the sword, which is a really great song. However we are talking about the singles with SMKC, which have all been quite generic and no where near the quality of the other songs on the albums. So it's fair to say that his new single, if he follows the same trend he has been doing with SMKC, will simply not be as great as HS. On the album as a whole, I am hoping it returns to the likes of Apocalyptic Love. Todd seriously needs lead vocals on a song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 I can easly name 20 SMKC songs that are more complex than HS, not to mention Absurd which contains only one chord for 3 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd contains 2 chords in the verse. It's So Easy for example 3 chords. It really doesn't mean anything. You must really dislike Punk or The Ramones. thank fuck not every rock song in the world is musically complex. A lot of people want some variety.

Definitely his best solo outing in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think HS is a very good song, not great, but very good song with piss poor production/mixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.” Who's Dave Cobb, is he good? And just read below quote from Myles article "Asked about the sound and style of the new SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS LP, Myles said: "The thing about the record is that it's got a live vibe to it. It was a record that was recorded in kind of an old-school way. So, with that said, without giving too much away, it definitely has a bit of that energy and that vibe that a lot of us listened to growing up. So, it was fun. It was a fun record to make". It'll be interesting to hear the riffs that didn't make the gnr cut, assuming axl didn't want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it works this way. I really doubt Slash gives riffs to Axl and takes back unwanted stuff to SMKC. Slash mentioned a few times he writes music separately for both bands. And I honestly don't think there's an upcoming album from GNR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah SMKC is definitely not generic compared to other current rock bands. Anyone who says that needs their hearing checked. 12 hours ago, jimisbatman said: Who's Dave Cobb, is he good?

Whatever he wants to use for GnR he'll send to Axl and Duff but he's keeping whatever he wants for SMKC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be the case with most artists out there today, especially new rock acts.

Gibson87 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 IMO, Myles' voice is one of the things that makes SMKC sound generic. Myles is a very talented musician but I wish Slash would work with a singer who doesn't sound so "clean". Rod Jackson would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
