Slash's blues album set for May; single out now. SERPENT festival announced


Recommended Posts

I was expecting a lot of covers from a blues album, so I'm super glad to see one original. Also hyped to see a studio version of Bad Sign, I loved when that was the solo spot.

The personnel list is cool. It looks like Slash is collaborating a lot with Tash Neal who seems smaller and newer in the scene. The bassist Johnny Griparic and keyboardist Teddy Andreadis both played on Ain't Life Grand.

Haha! You have Steven Tyler on your record and he is playing harmonica instead of singing. Hopefully he collaborated as full band member at least and is present on multiple songs, rather than just playing on one single track.

Don't give up yet, after Steven Tyler on Harmonica maybe under the credits of the next single we'll see

Piano: Axl Rose

That would be cool, symbolically

I’m just glad it’s something different. He has no control over a new GNR album
 

If any genre is acceptable to have a covers album with- it’s blues. He needed to switch it up after 4 SMKC records. Slash 2 with guests on blues songs works for me!

i've seen a couple of people say Axl is on Metal Chesnut still looking into that because it could have been said to get people over hyped

Axl is on it because it's probably the Blues Jam known as "Bon Jovi Can Suck My Dick Rant" from 1987 under a proper song title, so Slash doesn't get sued by Jon

  • Voodoochild changed the title to Slash's blues album set for May; single out in March, 8

The list of guests is impressive and most are people I already like. I predicted Chris Robinson and Beth Hart recently, but I'm super excited to also see Chris Stapleton, Brian Johnson, Gary Clarke, Billy Gibbons, Paul Rodgers and Iggy Pop. 

I don't object to a cover album at all. In fact I really like it!

But what worries me a little - most of these are blues staples that I already know quite well by at least 2 artists. In a few cases more. And they're often already extremely well done. So it's going to be challenging for Slash his interpretations to hold up against all of those. But I hope he pulls it off! This has a ton of potential and I already greatly prefer it over another SMKC album. 

On the downside the title is just really dumb and the cover art isn't that much better. The concept is fine, but I'm not a fan of the computer-like style. On the upside at least it has tits n asses on it.

Most curious to hear Chris Stapleton and Dorothy. Something about Stapleton, I just love. I discovered Dorothy after local radio added Black Sheep. Went to stream the album and I really enjoy it. She's a phenomenal singer.
