Even Myles whose voice is an acquired taste has a distinctive voice. They're a great band with great music. We'll have a 5th album in the next 2-3 years. That's fantastic. Slash has finally found a singer who's not a premadonna and can just work with making music 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 6 years, and we've only got two songs so far. Slash isn't going to sit around while Axl does whatever he does. If GNR(Axl) were really interested in putting out a new album, obviously, Slash's priorities would be there. He knows that's where the real $$$ is. But, there's no point of dumping SKMC when Guns(Axl) has no honest intention of releasing new music. Yup. I don't think they have any intention of doing new music. You nailed it. Slash has his creative outlet with his band. It's a shame though, what is so hard about banging out a record with the current lineup. Budget wise there is nothing to worry about. Just lock up a month in everyone's calendar and jam something out. It doest have to be ground breaking statement. Just enjoying jamming and making music. Fans will like the output even if it never captures the success of the past. CD was hardly a ground breaking success, so I'd have thought axl would be comfortable there. Every time I look at it, I just can't understand the logic around why, or what's bothering them, that they don't or can't record something and put it out. The only conclusion I get from it is that they don't want to, and are happy just playing shows and touring - and if that's the case be open and honest about it.

It's Axl who's responsible. Only him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It's Axl. When you think about it, what we have now is Axl Rose gave up and it shows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethalis Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Slash and Myles seem to enjoy being in a band together and make some money along the way. I don't see how SMKC will ever end. I'm not a big fan of the band's music myself. But hey, if they're having fun and enough people show up to see them and buy their music. Well, then there is nothing wrong with that.

I never thought about this before but you are right.....it's pretty bad having to play the same song over and over again when its your own, but when you are playing the same cover over and over again for 30 years, then its just getting sad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I'm sure they put on a fine show, but them releasing record after record of uninspired rock music proves that quantity doesn't trump quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people who like music other than what Axl sings enjoy it. They haven't had a bad release for me. Zep are a decent band I'll give you that one fella. Imagine if Myles had ended up singing for them. What would have chose razorblades or a noose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericstacey Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think Slash prefers what he is doing now-it seems like he's the one who wasn't interested in doing VR anymore-not sure adding Izzy would sway him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘ve been to 2 smkc shows just to see Slash & Todd kerns. The songs are so boring… the only time I get excited is when they play a GNR song. SMKC stuff doesn’t touch me in any way and moreover I hate Myles voice. Won t go to their show anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget Slash was alive durong that period and has been playing that style of music for most of his life. It's like complaining that Steven Tyler released a solo album and it sounds like 70's era Aerosmith or even yet how people complained about KK Downing solo album sounding like Priest when that music has been engrained in their DNA. You didn't answer my question. What other generic modern band sounds like SMKC? What other singer sounds like Myles Kennedy? If you don't like the style or music that's fine to each their own but saying they sound like every other modern band is just absurd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafeijo Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I always felt a bit indifferent about SMKC. But this '4' album really made me change my mind. Very solid and inspired IMO. The last one was total autopilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have yet to hear a song from this band that hits me. It's like the worst of Velvet Revolver, with a vocalist a few tiers below Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMKC is more simple compared to VR but that doesn't make the music less good automatically. It's still personal preference. If they haven't release anything yet that you like, then don't expect different from them in the future. Whatever they do, they keeping it straight up and simple rocknroll. With each SMKC release I get the impression that some people are surprised how much they dislike their music everytime again. By now their formula should be known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
