Slash is having a rush with this band and especially with Myles. It seems to me that he is going to go with it for a while, and that VR is not even a consideration now...

yeah its easy for him, and thats fine, he has earned the right to do what he wants.  But at the same time, fans like us have to suffer because he is just going to be giving us more generic rock n roll.  The first solo album was great and interesting.  You can hear especially with the song with M Shadows that these guest artists really pushed Slash out of his comfort zone, and i thought that was absolutely great.  What is the point of another record with Myles, what new ground are they going to break that they didn't break on "Apocalyptic Love"?

VR made one good album and one bad one, I would have liked to see what the third would have sounded like.

I buy any record Slash puts out, and will buy this next record as well, but I am not thrilled with the direction.

The point (if there is one) is that Slash isn't trying to make a point.  Slash has made his mark on the music world.  He doesn't need to spend the rest of his life trying to "break ground".  Now he is simply doing what he wants and not trying to relive his 20s.  Musical taste is always subjective, some will like it and some won't.  Personally, I enjoyed his second solo effort more than the first, and am looking forward to another.  I would also like to see a third VR record happen, but if the breakup of GNR taught me one thing, it's to never sit on my laurels waiting for a band to reunite.  Slash is coasting along painlessly and doesn't want to even try to deal with the horseshit of trying to reunite with Scott to do another VR album (even if Scott wants it) and I understand and support him on that.

Once an artist stops "breaking ground" that is when I lose interest.  All of my favorite bands are the ones where you hear a certain song and you can place what era of the band that it came out in.  I don't like bands where when you listen to a song you have no idea when they recorded it.  This is why I dislike bands like AC/DC, I like hearing a band evolve and their progression over time.  Which for example is why I am such a big GNR fan, AFD sounds nothing like the Illusions, and the Illusions sound nothing like CD.

I can picture in my head exactly what this next Slash/Myles collaboration is going to sound like, so once again what is the point?  As much as I disliked Libertad, I do appreciate the fact it sounds nothing like Contraband, and I do still listen to it from time to time.

Slash is brilliant when he pushes himself, that is why I get so bent out of shape over this.

Well that's clearly not true, because Bad Religion has been making the same record for 30 years.

It's cool though, Social Distortion has been selling me the same record, and countless concert tickets to the same show for as long as I can remember!

Anyways, I think it has more to do with your dislike, or disdain for Myles Kennedy, because AL doesn't really sound like GN'R, VR, the solo album, or Snakepit.
It sounds like a rock n' roll record, and if you can get past Myles voice, there's nothing to dislike about Slash's playing on it.

Unfortunately, Myles and company aren't quite on Slash's level.
It's cohesive, it sounds like a "band", just not with very exciting components I guess. Slash's playing is the highlight, and not much else about them is terribly interesting.
I think they rip live though, and there are far worse albums being spit out than AL.

I'd probably prefer another VR record at this point given the choice, but wishing Slash back w/Scott is no less selfish or delusional than Axl to Slash..
Either way it's a rock record to look forward to, and I can count on one hand the amount of bands putting those out these days.

Ha, I said my favorite bands, Bad Religion is not one of my top bands, but I do enjoy them, as well as Social D, but those bands never switch it up.  But I do like a lot of punk bands because lyrically they are not singing about their hangover, how much pussy they are going to get or how much they like to "rock".  I loathe that shit.

I dont hate Myles Kennedy, I liked him in small doses with Slash, and I really do enjoy him in Alter Bridge.

The last record was a very generic rock record with the exception of "Anastasia."  There are countless bands like Hinder and Nickelback making generic radio rock, we don't need Slash to contribute to that.

I personally prefer AL to the first solo album.  And in general, I prefer Slash's playing these days to the VR days when he was stifled by Scott.  Not knocking Scott... he is an incredible frontman but he lacks range and that makes it harder for a guitar player like slash.   

Overall Id be prefer a 3rd solo album over a VR reunion.

I also prefer Slash's playing on the solo records to the VR records, but I'm not sure I'd blame that on Scott.  Hell, in his book, Slash blamed his reserved playing on Contraband on the small ass studio he chose to save VR some money!
