Maybe after 1 more SMKC record since they are already working on it 1 hour ago, Free Bird said: It doesn't seem to me that they're ending this anytime soon. I wouldn't hold my breath, and Slash has said in recent interviews (like that Rolling Stone one) that he's not stopping SMKC anytime soon.

Euchre Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Slash just isn’t that great a song writer. Slash is great at elevating a base, but not really good at creating that base. Back to the original post put Izzy, Slash, Steve and Duff together and you’ll have a great band. Collectively they are much stronger than the sum of the parts. At the point anyone singing over the top will sound great. Edited February 14, 2022 by Euchre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Right. Sebastian Bach or Josh Todd can sing the more complex songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 It can happen if Izzy and duff who isn’t doin anything these days push for it. Again Slash would just be putting SMKC aside on the back burner after the next SMKC record. Then Slash can continue doing his thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope that Myles is leaving this band for whatever reason in the near future. Slash really, really needs a challenge and an exciting singer. I’d like to see him do an album with Gary Stringer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 3 hours ago, El Guapo said: Slash really, really needs a challenge and an exciting singer. There's 2 ways to do that... the first would be another album with different guests on every track - guys like Marc LaBelle, Luke Spiller, Ayron Jones, Anderson .Paak, and plenty of others would probably sound great with Slash. Break out of the routine of working with the Conspirators for a while and try more variety. The other way to do it would be not to have a singer at all, or just a small amount of vocals, on a blues record. A [mostly] instrumental blues record would be the coolest thing Slash could do at this point, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah... Velvet Revolver😜 Not a hope! All you need to know is how Slash talks about VR and the process of finding a singer. Izzy/Duff can sing, yeah but they are not going to be singing Sweet Child on those gigs, and if those guys are all in a band together they have to play GNR hits... so they then have to hire a high register singer, insert Myles and now you're back to SMKC with a different rhythm section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'm quite happy with SMKC as Slash's main outlet for creativity. Obviously in an ideal world, he would be writing new songs for Axl as well, but it's not Slash's fault Axl is allergic to work. The new SMKC album is great! Haven't been able to stop listening to it these last few days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Slash really knocking that out of the park and be really motivated by the project.. He would need a proper blues singer though.. Not fucking Teddy Zig Zag lol. He jammed with a Blues musiician Jimmy Vivino a few times and I thought they had great chemistry. I think they could put out a killer blues album if they colaborated together. Slash actually did some 30 hour Gibson interview a couple months ago as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think I heard enough of Slash's blooze noodling for several lifetimes...but with a cool singer and strong material, sure. How about Steven Tyler or Beth Hart. Or Danzig, wasn't there a rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Anything would be better than the puddle water that is SMKC. Truly a band on autopilot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korean Democracy Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Slash should do another album like his self titled with rotating singers for each song, with ones that didn't appear the first time around like Steven Tyler, Lenny Kravitz and Axl Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphelmo Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I see only one band that runs on autopilot and rips fans from money year by year, giving nothing in exchange. Edited February 16, 2022 by Ralphelmo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't argue with that either. And the two singles prove they're also on autopilot. However, at the end of the day, I'd rather see them half-ass performances of Civil War and Nightrain over another band doing painfully generic modern rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuerta86 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 What other "generic modern rock" band sounds like SMKC? 4 sounds anything but generic, the riffs and hooks Slash wrote are pretty creative and has a throwback 70's/80's rock vibe for the most part. Even Myles whose voice is an acquired taste has a distinctive voice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireSoul Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I personally have no interest in anything that doesn't have Axl on vocals. I wish I did but I don't 😄 Never got into VR, let alone SMKC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
