Popular Post Willis1988 Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2021 I love the song and I’m a huge Myles fan (Alter Bridge, Slash, solo). What’s most impressive to me about Myles is how prolific he is. We talk about Slash never taking a break, but since Alter Bridge’s third album in 2010, Myles has recorded 10 full albums between his three projects, plus the two songs on Slash’s first album, something like 5 or 6 live albums, and a slew of guest appearances. I think this contributes to a lot of the “generic” talk. Myles has simply overextended himself. When you’re trying to write lyrics and melodies for three very different projects (more dramatic “metal” rock with AB, blues based sleazy hard rock with SMKC, and blues/country/Americana rock with his solo stuff) I imagine you could start repeating yourself after awhile without even realizing it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the vocal stuff was also done a bit quicker for this record than the ones before. He might not have had as much time to figure out all the melodies etc (Todd probably helped a bit).

I will forever be grateful to Myles for allowing Slash to embrace the GNR catalog again when the solo project first started. There were so many songs we hadn't heard him play for 15-20 years and in the pre-reunion world seemed like we would never hear again. Stockdale would never have given him that ability to play the GNR stuff the way Myles did. Myles frankly is the only guy I can think of that Slash could have gotten to sing all the GNR and VR stuff as well as he did. In that period where it looked like the reunion was never happening, Myles made it possible for Slash to thrill the GNR fans once again who never got to see him play the hits. That 2010-12 period was awesome, and I will always hold Myles in high regard for being the guy who largely made it happen. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care so much about that. I was thinking more in regards to creating music.. I just think they could have made some better kick ass music together. That first Wolfmother record was awesome.. I am sure they could have found some songs he could have covered though too. Myles had the range to sing them all but I don't particularly think he sounds good singing them.. Anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just heard The River is Rising for the first time. Sounds harmless enough. Myles vocals add a consistent smoothness too most Slash collaborations. I get the impression the band bang out tracks and if one becomes a stand out track then that's all well and good enough. Anastasia will probably remain the stand out of all stand out tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsdrummer63 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I don't mind myles, just at the point where I'm kinda done with him and slash. Musically I love the rest of the band, I've always had a soft spot for Rod Jackson too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a simple rocker but it's fun and seems like a good live song. On 10/27/2021 at 6:04 PM, Tom-Ass said: I wished he had stuck with Andrew Stockdale from the beginning. Unfortunately as @Free Bird said another singer doesn't seem likely at this point.. I would love to see him just do something different like a traditional blues album with that guy Jimmy Vivino he jammed with a couple times a few years back.. A mostly instrumental blues album would be the best thing Slash could release at this point IMO, that would be great. Another album with guest singers or another EP like the Universal Monsters soundtrack would be cool too. By The Sword is one of the best songs on the s/t album but if there's anyone I wish he'd stuck with it's M Shadows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Dexter didn’t read this. He’d have had a coronary reading about 10 albums in just over ten years. You can dislike Myles voice but he’s undeniably an artist and loves to create music. Axl is barely a blip on his radar these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 To me it feels and sounds more like Myles is working assembly line. It's all so bland and boring because of him but Slash wants no drama and no challenge it seems. The music suffers a lot though, imo. At this point, the most interesting he could would be another Slash & friends style album, but that's unlikely cause it's complicated and a lot of work. I totally understand where he's coming from, but is anybody really exciting about SMKC album Nr. 4,5,6... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why all SMKC albums will always sound the same. I was trying to think of a way of describing how his voice makes me feel and you more or less hit the nail on the head for me👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd be very happy about a singer with more attitude and rawer vocals I'm grateful of every album Slash records. Even if it's Myles on vocals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash albums are always fun and he’s about the only gig going for that style of rock and roll abandon (GNR don’t have it anymore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Towelie Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 I think Myles gets a raw deal. I totally see why some people can't enjoy his vocals, but he's done some excellent tracks with SMKC over the first three albums. Stuff like The Great Pretender, Beneath The Savage Sun, You're A Lie, The Unholy, The One You Loved Is Gone, Anastasia, 30 Years To Life is top drawer and as good as anything on Chinese Democracy if you ask me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
