Slash: New album and tour

[allwaystired]

@sofine11 I would.
To see Slash live would be a dream come true, and I've only seen him once with GN'R, this past tour.
Now I don't know about you, but when a favorite musician of mine is touring, I'd go; if I can do that more than once then I would fucking do it.
Myles is not a poor man's Axl, he's Myles - and the rest of the band are not GN'R either - and that's the beauty of it.

That's sort of proved his point though - "Myles is not a poor man's Axl, he's Myles - and the rest of the band are not GN'R either" - so why would people want to see them play 50 per cent GNR songs?

The interest in seeing them play GNR songs is seriously limited, now people can actually see him play those songs with GNR. In my view they'd be best off sticking to their own material now.

That was kind of a dick move, what you did there, quoting the whole sentence except for the last words, which were "AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT".
Then again it made me realize why people wouldn't want to spend their money on such a show.
Not me, I'd still go, even if it was Slash playing turkish folk songs on a broken Stratocaster. But that's just the kind of fan I am.

Why? Doesn't change the meaning of what you said at all. I can understand why people would want to hear smkc songs, but hearing them play gnr songs- that's lost it's pull, in the same way that a gnr without slash has loat its pull.

Slash has been playing less Gnr songs every tour.
He will mostly play the stuff with Myles and co on the next tour with some Snakepit & VR.
I doubt he will do more than 4 Gnr songs.
Look at Black Star Riders, they mostly did all Thin Lizzy for years but on the last tour they only did one Lizzy song.

Most of those years they were called 'Thin Lizzy' though to be fair!

Exactly.

Here's the setlist from October 2015, last time I saw them. 7 GNR songs, not 10 like someone else said.

You're a Lie
Nightrain

Avalon
Standing in the Sun
Back from Cali
Wicked Stone
Too Far Gone
You Could Be Mine
(Guns N? Roses cover)
Doctor Alibi
Welcome to the Jungle
(Guns N? Roses cover) (Todd Kerns on vocals)
Beneath the Savage Sun
Mr. Brownstone
(Guns N? Roses cover)
The Dissident
Rocket Queen
(Guns N? Roses cover)
Bent to Fly
World on Fire
Anastasia
Sweet Child O' Mine
(Guns N? Roses cover)
Slither
Encore:
Paradise City
(Guns N? Roses cover)

It was a kick ass show! Was my birthday and will never forget it. And what I really liked was that people were there to hear Slash songs. What I don't like about GNR crowds is that many people are there just to hear Appetite songs and everyone goes crazy for Sweet Child. I am so tired of Sweet Child. I wish they would delete it from the set list. But for Slash shows, people are not there to hear Sweet Child but rather for Anastasia, Slither, Cali, and all his other great songs.

No I?m talking about Black Star Riders not when they toured as Thin Lizzy.
They are on their third album tour, the same as Slash will be.

Time flies! Doesn't seem that long since i saw them as thin lizzy supporting gnr.

I saw Slash during his last two tours, and his setlists easily were 50% old Guns tunes.  Point being, who in their right minds are going to shell out money to see him do that with Myles, a poor man's Axl, after seeing the real deal killing it for two and a half years? I don't get that thinking and don't see this tour being much of a trek.

hmmm... my favourite guitar player playing a bunch of solo material, new songs and iconic songs with a stripped down tight band in a more intimate venue at a much cheaper cost.  Sign me up please.

Slash needed money for his divorce, Duff needed a gig, Axl needed some musicians to tour.

now you had it, the "reunion" thing.

they'll do some other shows and move to their respectives business, Slash with his band,
Duff will probably write another book about being a man, a dad, a grandfather and play with whatever,
and Axl has an exit strategy (difficult to do another Guns LP without Slash & Duff now) with AC/DC.

Axl should release the rest of Chinese as a solo album when Slash releases his.

[Sillything]

If it?s the only way to hear the material, I agree. There is so much he could do. Not being held up in GNR.

He will never do that. Doesnt need to either, he owns all rights. I just see the Record company being dicks as the main deterrent for Axl not to even want to move !

[sky dog]

Record company owns that material

I am pretty sure that SMKC tours were more than 12 months. I think more like 18 months or more.

They have been 15 months, 8 months and 16 months, respectively. So it could easily be less than a year.

They have only released two albums so I bet the 8 month tour is the second part of the first tour after a break, which would make it 23 months. Just like NITL has taken breaks but is still considered one tour.

The second tour of 16 months was cut short by GNR's schedule and Slash rejoining the band. I say this because I saw him in October 2015 in Denver and he said something about being back early next year (2016) with Kennedy and the Conspirators, but instead the GNR tour began

No, the first tour was for his solo album. It was the same band. 

I would like to see the source of the information that SMKC first album tour was only 8 months long. It is hard to believe. I don't remember exactly but it seems that I saw him twice on that tour and the times were more than 8 months apart.

"We went out on the road and we wrote the album on the road."  Wait, what?  I thought you can't write an album when you're touring.   

Also, it's interesting that his website notes that the NITL tour ends on 7/21/18.

Just to clarify, that's a fan site, but a well-trusted one.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.  So I guess not officially announced (and probably never will be), but with Slash booking gigs and recording an album with Myles, it may as well be.

Yes, well, according to this website, there have been 3 Slash tours.

1. We're all gonna die, 10 April 2010-31 July 2011, or 15 months
2. Apocalyptic Love, 23 March 2012-25 July 2013, or 16 months
3. World on Fire, 9 July 2014-24 November 2015, or 16 months.

The data do not support the claim of an 8 month tour, just as I suspected.
