Slash + Myles Kennedy

[Suziemay]

I've always thought that Slash is an awesome musician but never really bothered to look up his stuff. And them saw him on Muhammad Ali's 70th bday bash and at the same time got an email from Classic Rock mag about the upcoming album "Apocalyptic Love". Didn't see a thread so I thought I might as well start one

Not looking to start a debate on GNR/Axl/Slash, but I'm just finding all this stuff about Slash and am getting really excited for the new album

I'm looking forward to the new record, I'm a big Myles Kennedy fan so it will be good to hear a full record with him singing. Here's a teaser for the new single:

Love Slash, he is just awesome. But I'm a huge Myles Kennedy fan so I am more excited to hear an album from him!

I'd never heard of Myles Kennedy until last night and I'm not sure why Everything I've seen so far has been pretty awesome

Not impressed with it at all. Very generic sounding. In fact, apart from the intro and the solo, you'd hardly tell it was Slash at all.

[Yellow Ledbelly]

Sounds just ok to me but the album will be worth checking out I think.

I think the song's fine for what it is, the chorus is catchy and has a decent groove. Knowing what Myles Kennedy is capable of as a singer and lyricist (I'm talking about Mayfield Four not Alter Bridge) it's obvious he's dumbing it down, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like me some big dumb rock

[Of The Aggie]

It's hard for me to get into guitarists doing solo albums. You have to like the people they get to write the lyrics and sing otherwise it ruins it for me and I can't just focus on their guitar playing.

Love these guys - still don't understand how they weren't "bigger". Anyone that enjoys Myles on vocals should track these CDs down. Mayfield 4 >>>>>> Alter Bridge.

Yeah they really should have been a lot bigger. In all honesty I'm most looking forward to Myles' solo record, I think it will be good to hear him without him having to copromise and fit in with his collaborators.

For me, there is no downside to this new album. I am a huge Alter Bridge/Mayfield Four/Myles Kennedy fan...and really loved Slash's earlier collaborations with him (and with others too - I really loved the song he did with Chris Cornell and the one he did with M. Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) especially.

Slash is doing a great job of selecting his collaborators, and as singers go, there is none better than Myles Kennedy. I'm looking forward to the new record too.

Get ready to love him even more:

Wow, I really love Starlight! I prefer this video, doesn't hurt that he's singing shirtless

He's like a hot Kevin Bacon!

Really like this too! Ghost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onRDfwyU ... re=related

Ghost is great because it also has a certain Izzy Stradlin
