Slash's Next Album To Feature Myles Kennedy Handling All Vocals; May 22nd

[Smoking Guns]

The quality of the clip they posted is poor. Not as clear as it should be... Still sounds good.

Faldor, let me tell u why:

1.Song is catchy i can already tell it will be a kick ass rocking song.

2. This will be released on heels of Rock N Roll HOF.. Slash is gonna be red hot.. He is a genius with the timing of this release.


I can tell in 20 secs that the guitar riff is gonna be bad ass... What he is playing over top the verse is vintage Slash... sounds like a mix of Ghost and Slither.

3) don't forget that myles is a very underated guitar player! he can play like anything! allthough Mark Tremonti is just outstanding! Myles can pull of some nice sweet riffs two and I hope we hear some of it on the new record with Slash.

Would love to hear their struggle together on the axes!   maybe a new Izzy/Slash Vibe.

hmm 30 sec clip, i don't think its very good. sounds like cheesy 80s stuff which, don't get me wrong, I like, but in 2012 is cheesy and probably a bit too oldschool for mainstream audience. although it might still do good due to RRHOF

 but its just a bit. meh  . we'll see

Well, I seem to remember countless people telling me "Beautiful Dangerous" would be a hit after hearing the ENTIRE song.  I didn't see it that way, and it didn't happen.  So I'll wait to hear more.  You COULD be right, but I honestly can't make a firm judgement right now.  I don't think anyone can.

[Naupis]

The song might get a decent radio push because of the combination of Slash/Myles. AB actually had some good success on the rock charts with Isolation which was #1 on the mainstream rock chart for 7 weeks last year. 

On the other hand without a traditional label behind him since he is his own label, Slash might continue to find radio play a little harder to come by than artists getting the traditional label push.

It's kind of a crapshoot, you just don't know.

Slash has released "You're A Lie" to radio today worldwide. The hard-charging song, which is available for streaming in its entirety at Loudwire.com, marks the first single off the iconic, Grammy-winning rock guitarist and songwriter's forthcoming second studio album "Apocalyptic Love".

"'You're A Lie' is the second song I brought to the band in 2011 during the last tour,? explains Slash. ?We worked on it at soundcheck somewhere, I can't remember where. It's gone through some minor changes along the way, mainly the chorus. But for the most part, it's remained true to its original arrangement. I can't wait to play this live."

solid track.  I liked it after I got to hear the whole song.  I wasn't blown away by it, but it was pretty good.

[CheapJon]

Not a fan of the new song.

Intro riff is decent.. nothing to write home about.. but that killer Ghost type riff he plays right before chorus kicks ass...

I like the lyrics,melodies and feel of the song.. put on some headphones and crank it.. i was singing a long second time through

Def sounds made for radio and i expect it to do pretty well on the charts.

Guitarist Slash says his new album Apocalyptic Love is so rock rock-friendly radio stations will not play it

February 28, 2012

BRACE yourself for the bad news. Slash, one of the world's greatest living guitarists, has made a new record so rock that rock stations probably won't play it.

As fans and industry insiders were given a world exclusive preview of his Apocalyptic Love album at Triple M headquarters this week, there were suggestions the Australian guitar-friendly station won't be adding its songs to their playlist.

"Here in Australia it seems to have been welcomed but in the States there are two speeds - what used to be alternative rock, which is now mainstream rock, and classic rock. There's no in-between," Slash said.

Hard rock fans turned out last weekend for the Soundwave Festival at the Sydney Showgrounds where Slash played with Alter Bridge.

Seeing more than 50,000 black T-shirted and tattooed fans confirmed Slash's faith even as the music industry seems increasingly disinterested in signing new rock acts.

"The more alienated rock becomes, the more I feel I really have to hold the flag," he said.

"I know there's going to be a creative revolution where playing stuff from the heart is going to end up being more important than the cookie cutter commercial stuff.

"This is the time to really stick to your guns."

[Smoking Guns]

Then why does Slash's new song sound cookie cutter...?
