Popular Post Free Bird Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 (edited) This is the first single of the upcoming blues cover album by Slash with various guests - as soon as it’s available in Europe without VPN I’ll edit the OP and add the youtube link. Next to Brian Johnson on vocals it’s Steven Tyler on Harmonica With Teddy Andreadis and Johnny Griparic there are two of Slash’s pals contributing to this record. Mike Clink is another welcome surprise Your Thougts… Edited March 7 by Free Bird 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) You should add (feat. Steven Tyler) onto the title, I mean come on, he's a giant of rockPretty cool to have 2 legends like that on the same track. ACDC and Aerosmith were like my 2 favourite bands growing up, so this is wild to me. I'll listen tomorrow when it's out here Edited March 7 by StrangerInThisTown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is hard to recognize at first moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Well, I don’t like it that much to be honest. It’s not the blues I love and hoped for. I find Brian Johnson to be annoying on this one unfortunately. I like the lead guitar and the harmonica even more, but not the song itself. I’m glad it’s just the first single and usually I don’t like Slash’s lead single choices, knowing there are better songs on the record. And there will be. I’m confident by that tracklist and these guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I like everything about it. I was hoping Brian would stay in his lower register for this one, and he did. His voice has a lot of personality. Slash sounds like he had a lot of fun with this. Steven does a fantastic job. The song is a standard heard many, many times before but it's just a cool tune. What's not to like? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuerta86 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 It's very very different than Slash has ever done. His whole tone seems to have changed. I would have never guessed that was Johnson singing. Never really been a blues fan but I'm really digging this. Love the riff and the solos/licks are kinda of cool! Saw the song list and guests and I'm very intrigued. Orgy of the Damned starts now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kelmi Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 I take this as a fun project for Slash and dont treat it too seriously. That said I liked the first single and will buy the album once its released. I could listen to a whole album of these :) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like? Oh Brians lower register is cool, I don’t like… what is that, this “vibrato” in his voice. That’s kind of annoying. And the whole song is played in such a happy kind of way, it’s really the lead guitar and Steven Tyler who saves that to me but maybe I’m too critical… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm usually not into Slash's solo projects but this is decent, great to hear Brian sounding on form aswell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1. The Pusher (feat. Chris Robinson) 2. Crossroads (feat. Gary Clark Jr.) 3. Hoochie Coochie Man (feat. Billy Gibbons) 4. Oh Well (feat. Chris Stapleton) 5. Key to the Highway (feat. Dorothy) 6. Awful Dream (feat. Iggy Pop) 7. Born Under a Bad Sign (feat. Paul Rodgers) 8. Papa Was a Rolling Stone (feat. Demi Lovato) 9. Killing Floor (feat. Brian Johnson) 10. Living for the City (feat. Tash Neal) 11. Stormy Day (feat. Beth Hart) 12. Metal Chesnut Good selection of tunes for a blues record, the standards pretty much. Killing Floor tune with Brain was pretty good....My eyebrow raised a bit when I saw Demi Lovato is singing Papa was a Rolling Stone, gonna be interesting how that turned out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post freak6767 Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 I was one (and still am) to think how bad Slash live tone and playing has gone downhill for fair numbers of years now (and it makes me even more sad when listening to Tokyo '92 or both Snakepits!) but this new (old) song Killer Floor is giving me hope! It proves that he can still pull it off in this registry that is actually so him when he first started. You don't need a million wanking notes and 20min non sense solos like he's been doing with GNR lately. Really enjoyed this first track, and can't wait for the rest of the album to be released, there's definitely some good/solid guitar playing from Slash here, and it's a beautiful thing in 2024! Now if only he could get his GNR live sound back (and not these weak ass Magnatone, for god sake, if anyone apart from Marshall, Friedman should be the legitimate option to build him an amp...), and inspired playing (and timing... thank you in-ear monitoring...) then that would be amazing. Can only dream! 😃 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Hank Williams, Jr. did an album like this year or two ago and it's awesome. I love the blues. I have high hopes for Slash's record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiRose Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I thought this was going to be originals - didn't realise it was covers. That's disappointing, but like the first single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I love it, best thing in years from Slash. I don't really know these songs so they feel new to me. I guess I identify them as new songs 🎵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demi has recorded with Slash before (solo at 2:36). Im not a fan of her vocals tbh not sure if she can pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
