- I really love Slash so I've decided to check out his work with Myles Kennedy! He's just released a new album called "4" and this is one of the new tracks from it called Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Both of these artists are extremely talented, I'm just reacting to this one song. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks Justin, love your channel.
Just found ur channel and watched loads over last 2 nites cant believe didn't discover it earlier absolutely brilliant 👏 keep it going makes my evenings.
Slash always had bluesy undertones in his riffs... Is your low E a little flat in tune or is it because we're talking bout Slash and I'm used to him being tuned a semi down... oh the tonal conflict in my brain.🤪
Have you heard Guns N' Roses new song that came out last year called ABSUЯD?
Nice one, indeed! The original posting of the album on YT was a single video obout an hour long, and as far as I recollect, it used to have higher dynamic range (the short clips that are available now are brickwalled to sh.t, as if loudness war weren't over and we didn't already have a vast back-catalogue of brickwalled music).
I see that as the reason for the solos blending in too much. It's must be gorgeous-sounding in the pre-squash stage (perhaps there's an analogue mastering available in a vinyl pressing, which live album like this would lend very well to...).
Anyone knows this particular aspect of the Album? Tidal version is brickwalled) - how about other (physical) sources for the album sound?
I was watching one of the episodes and during the part Justin sings the show's theme song, my 91 year old mom heard it and said, "He's got a beautiful voice." 👍
She's not wrong. 🤷🏻
I’m sure Justin will wonder if your lovely mum has hearing probs??? Just joking!!!!
@@Saffy-yr8vo My mom absolutely does have terrible hearing! Refuses hearing aids! 🤣
I have to say that you are a total class act. You are exceptional at honestly critiquing a song and not dogging all over the artist. You are very genuine and complimentary when it is appropriate.
I love the way Slash and Izzy played together (or off each other) on Appetite For Destruction. One of them is in one channel and vice versa. Welcome To The Jungle is a perfect example of how great they were together, if you listen to it on headphones you can clearly hear just how great their playing was.
This is why I never really could get into any of their bands apart or solo projects. They're just not the same without each other.
This is a good example of 'keeping "real rock n roll" alive' while simultaneously driving nails into the coffin. Evolve or die! Your comments about the conservatism of the vocal are spot on. I don't think any old-school rocker would feel betrayed by a more inventive melody, so long as the grit and attitude are intact. Cheers!
@Bloom Tik Bloom It can be a great song whilst also being a little 'more of the same'
Fings gotta progress...new blood... ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html
Listen to anything off Alter Bridge's Fortress album, much better than this bland rock and shows what Myles is really capable of.
@@philproffitt8363 Proof that "progress" isn't a universal positive.
@@nathanielpersohn600 Clearly you've never listened to Alter Bridge and if he's minor league talent why would Slash ask him to be the vocalist of the band?
From a guitar master to another! What an amazing video! I love it! Justin Hawkins and Slash, I couldn't ask for more! 🙏❤️🔥🙏
I wanna see Justin sing with Slash!
Absolutely ! That would be an incredible collaboration
That would be a dream🤩🤩
Doing close harmonies guitar/vocal on the sweet child riff, Justin could do it...😂
I absolutely love how you break things down, I honestly feel as though I am just sat having a chat with you. Brilliant, thanks.
The tune reminds me of Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger.
Exactly what I thought
Spot on with that one.
Its because you're too old.
"Too old", what a stupid comment, totally irrelevant to this, other than older have heard more, and apparently know more.
I was going to say the same thing, then I saw your comment.
This guy really knows a lot about music! He should start a band
It would be cool if he'd make videos about music stuff too!
He really shouldn't keep his talents hidden in the darkness.
He would make a good vocalist singing songs about love!
@@danielradziejewski3288 He probably doesn’t believe in it.
@@danielradziejewski3288 why? It's only a feeling drifting away
love it! who else could toss in a Gershwin reference in a critique of a Slash riff Kudos!
I really love your channel. You’re talented and all the insight into music, the industry, and related topics…..thanks for your time, sir!
Their best collab was their original collab on Slash's solo album with various singers. Starlight and Back from Cali were amazing.
By the Sword with Andrew Stockdale was great too.
one of the things I love about The Darkness is how far the melodies are pushed beyond what I'd expect from rawk
That verse isn’t Judas Priest, it’s “You keep -a knockin’, but you can’t come in”, from Little Richard’s version of the Louis Jordan song!!
totally what I heard
Exactly
The Sonics version of this is amazing. That sax. First ever punk sax.
@@daviebananas1735 yup
It is indeed...
Thoroughly enjoyable video - I liked hearing you thinking aloud while listening to the song. I just recently found your channel and I find your honest insights really refreshing.
Hi Justin , I want you to know how much I'm enjoying your videos, so much good that your giving away for free, musical knowledge from years of experience and your sharing it with us all , many thanks , and your down to earth like listening to my mate chatting down the pub, top man , keep in keeping on 🤘🤘🤘
That old time rock n roll by Bob Seger springs to mind right away..
Glad you mentioned Todd Kerns! His solo stuff and age of electric are great, amazing musician and highly underrated
Great Channel Justin, what a way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
Great break down and analysis on this track!
Good fun as always Justin!
You cast quite a wide net in regards to your sartorial choices. Last week you looked like a sea captain from Miami Vice and today you look like Michael Douglas from "Falling Down". Kudos, Justin.
But I want breakfast……….I know you stopped serving breakfast Rick, but Sheila……why am I calling you by your first names………I don’t even know you……..(proceeds to wave a gun around while customers spew up their fries………)
You hit the nail on the head about 'getting away with it', I feel like being an amazing singer can be detrimental to needing really hooky melodies. While there are exceptions of great singers who write amazing melodies, 'mediocre' or 'character' singers need strong melodies to stand out, so they can't be lazy with the writing. It's not too dissimilar to technical shred guitarists, they think that crazy playing with overshadow the need for great riffs and melodies
I have the new album 4.
It's "good but less than great".
Every album is not goingbyo be stellar. I read through the comments , I see a lot of gnr and ab comparisons. First off, they're not gnr. And they're never going yo be able to recreate appetite. That's what made appetite so great.
Second, they're definitely not alter bridge. Ab was much heavier, where as Slash, the flagship sound, is much more of a sunset blues groove.
I thought it was a solid album. I'd give it a 7.5. I thought the guitar work was standard Slash. They songs were unique and creative if you listen to a couple spins.
It didn't change my life. But I definitely put it my rotation
Let's rock Justin, amo o seu trampo no The Darkness.
Muito bom o comentário!
Well said Sir! Love the vids, great work keep it up! Was a cracking gig in Norwich btw and hope you're well! Lowestoft Salutes You!
Justin!!!! The Darkness are one of my all time bands!! I remember hearing ‘I believe in a thing called love’ when it was first released on Triple J in 2003. I was absolutely rocked to my core. Thank you for doing what you do!!
Spot on. Insightful assessment of why the song sounds like "Pub Rock". Brilliant Justin
Looking very smart Mr H, listening to your videos are one of my favourite parts of the day.
The melody at 9:21 is identical to Little Richard's version of 'Keep A-Knockin', released in 1957. Apparently the song goes back to the '20s, but this was the first rock 'n roll version of it. Listen to how much Myles is channeling Little Richard, whether he knows it or not. It's basically an old blues riff Justin, as you know. Just started watching your channel, and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for the ride!
I enjoy the collaboration between Slash and Myles Kennedy but don’t think it will be possible to top ‘It’s 5 o’clock somewhere’. That album was killer!!
That is still a great album.
What a album so underrated when it comes to Slash’s work, Eric Dover’s (think that’s his name) voice is tip fucking top. What is he up to these days???
Got to admit I’m not a big fan of Myles Kennedy’s voice. Can’t pls everyone.
My favourite non-GNR work of his. An amazing album… there’s some great live footage of that band on RUclips when they played in Vegas in ‘95.
Honestly both Snakepit albums were amazing. And check out Snakepit on Letterman. Best live tone Slash ever had.
Was on fire after the uyi tour. I guess thats what happens if you play every night
Great video Justin. Last time i seen this band live in Glasgow the bass player sang on a cover of you're crazy and it was the best thing on the whole show, so he can smash those high notes
Love this channel. Great work and interesting
You know who I'd like to see singing with Slash? Patton.
You know who I'd like to see singing with pretty much anyone? Patton.
Myles was singing while he was dealing with covid. He mentioned that he could fill his lungs filling up!
“Covid” - lol
Please do a whole video on Slash through the years! Loved this video Justin.
Your channel brightens my day
Myles is an awesome vocalist but remember, it is “Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators” not “Myles Kennedy featuring Slash & the Conspirators”…..check out Summergirl - the Mayfield Four or Cry of Achilles - Alter Bridge if you want to hear some vocal creativity. Really enjoy the channel Justin, keep ‘em coming, very enjoyable 🤘
Summergirl is unbelievable. Wish some of that Mayfield Four material would surface with this band.
Personally the "world on fire" album is my favourite! The songs go hard on that album and it has an old school rock vibe I love it!!
Good video dude . Enjoy your personality and your breakdowns on material 👍
I'm really enjoying these videos
Glad to see Todd get some recognition. I think he's the unsung hero in this band. In live sets he's the one to cover songs such as Welcome to the Jungle etc. and honestly those covers got more edge than Myles haha. I recently found out about his 90s band 'Age of Electric' too where he was the singer. The guy was born to do this no doubt.
You hit the nail on the head with Myles too. All of these Myles & Slash albums have sounded very safe to me and singing melodies are probably the biggest "offender" to blame. All the material is perfectly good or great even, but I'm not getting excited about this stuff. Still I admire their work ethic. Both Myles and Slash have been pumping out new music on a steady pace and it's always at the very least good. There isn't really dip in quality.
check out their band Toque, amazing musicians Todd and Brent are in it
Todd is such an incredible musician. His backing vocals are the glue for that band.
Todd is better than Myles IMO. His vocals on Night Train are phenomenal.
Todd is as good as Myles !
You're bang on, Slash is such a distinctive and glorious rock n roll guitar player. That he also inspires so many players, while most of us (me included!) know we're never, EVER gonna to get close to being the consummate riff machine/songwriter/lead player/top hat sporting badass that he embodies with ever track he plays on. He's absolutely the real deal where RNFR is concerned.😎🎸🎩
Side note: can you IMAGINE how many of Gibson's LP sales he's been responsible for over the years?!! 😧🤯
Love your deconstruction videos. So cool to see Slash playing a V. I've never seen him playing anything other than a LP. Cheers! 💚🎸
The video I’ve been WAITING FOR. Justin talks SLASH
Myles is also a follower on your instagram… Because he liked your post, it led me to your awesome channel! I can recommend the last song on this album, Fall back to earth. I’ve been listening to it every day since it came out.
Fall Back To Earth is brilliant!
Alter Bridge is one of the best current bands without a doubt
@@everychannel1025 agreed! Killer vocals… brutal riffs and solos… so many guitar solos. Tremonti and Kennedy… perfect combination in my opinion.
@@sproeten The rythm section is also a powerhouse! Love all 4 of them!
@@everychannel1025 yes! Been to quit a few concerts of Alter Bridge ❤️🔥
Myles looks like the dude formerly of Footloose and latterly of mobile phone flogging.
Great analysis. So interesting and informative.
OMG youre on RUclips, made my day!!
Watched an interview with slash ages ago, and for the life of me I can't find it again, but anyway in it slash reveals that Myles used to be a guitar instructor and when they play together slash gets technical tips off him which adds to his playing and I think you can hear it when they play together. Slash sounds like slash, but I think when these two are together there's something special and extra in slash's playing.
3 things I got from this video. 1: You are an amazing musician in your knowladge and the way you can can work things out. 2: you seem a genuine person and have a great voice. 3: your arms are so thin, does that prevent you from playing more than an hour ;) BTW you are soo much of a better player and singer than me :)
Thank you for this!!
I know this vid has been out for a little while now, but can I just say that the phrase 'up at the dusty end of the guitar!' has had me chuckling for weeks. Thankyou Justin for making these vids, they always keep me entertained with both the factual and the funny.
Love to know what you think about modern guitar heroes like Tim Henson and Jason Richardson.
Slash's solo is great, but it can't save this song from being derivative and boring. I also think that the high voice is much more interesting than Miles', although probably because it reminds me of Axl's.
Watch the Conspirators playing with Bruce Kulick, they do 80's Kiss songs for fun but it's amazing how much he can sing.
@Bloom Tik Bloom there's a difference between inspired by and being derivative. Hence the distinction. Slash lost his edge around his second solo album. He's become too technical and boring compared to how he used to play. The songs are extremely dull and only fanatics think he is still putting out good stuff. I was a huge Slash fan but at some point it's okay to admit they don't produce quality stuff anymore.
Great dog impression at the end.... made my day
Justin, I think you nailed it in the sense that Slash needs to be out there playing. He truly has the best of both worlds now where he now has a catalog of solo work that lets him create new music. If he wants the nostalgia run, he can go do his 3 hour sets with GNR. Before he was back with GNR, he did incorporate a lot of those songs in his set. But now that he has a significant catalog with Myles and the conspirators, he can focus on his solo stuff when he’s out with SMKC. The new album is good and I enjoy it. Agree with many of the comments that it’s safe in spots, but the real magic is seeing them live. Slash and his band are 100% live. Straight up ass kicking rock and roll and those live vocals are sick. Myles and Todd sound great together.
I’ve got a question for you Justin. When you listen to music, weather old or new can you shut off that part of your brain that wants to analyze it? Can you just enjoy it? Does your mind keep your heart from it? I love the your take on things here.
I am nowhere the level of musician as Justin and I cannot do it. I'm sure he can't either. That being said, it doesn't take away the enjoyment of it.
Its the difference between first impression and then discovering why you had the impression you had.
Having listened to the excellent Motorheart on repeat, it occurred to me why SLASH 4 doesn't excite the brain: THOSE LYRICS.
Justin, you’re a fun storyteller. (Dare I say getting better with each album?) Whereas, I find all of the SLASH 4 songs filled with generic “I don’t like you”, “we’re having problems”-style lyrical content that I I'm having trouble remembering.
I swear Justin can the see the entire universe, after he sings his intro, that look is of a man that can see the universe
I love Slash & Myles…. I’ve got all their albums and saw them live opening for Aerosmith. Great show.
Todd sings all the high backing vocals
My problem with the last two albums from this band is they're all such good musicians, the albums sound like they knocked them out in a week or two just to do an album. They're a set of perfectly functional rock songs, but below the talents of the band. Feel like they're probably spinning too many plates between Alter Bridge, GnR, this, and whatever else they get up to.
Exactly this , I feel Myles stuff is all blending into each other, I found this new album uninspiring and predictable
@@jasonspencer9246 feel the same.
It annoyed me abit when slash claims that the new album was the best they done, but thats probably for marketing reasons.
apocalyptic love is still there best work
That's the problem with supergroups. They're so keen on working with each other that they'll fall over each other to book any weekend to jam and record. There's no time to work on the material. Occasionally something like this works, but only if at least one of the artists in charge is used to working extremely fast, is instantly comfortable collaborating with changing lineups and personalities, and even then it's only a fluke single that makes it to the top under these circumstances. Not an album. The hip hop world doesn't have supergroups because the term is redundant when they're ALWAYS collaborating anyway.
@@wellesradio Totally. World on Fire is such an amazing album. Every track rocks. It has been my go to workout album for years.
I'm loving listening to a professional musician like Justin break down the language of music like this, especially for a bloody guitarist like me. Enlightenmening.
Such a legend.. it’s crazy how Justin is doing these thing talking about Legends when he is such a legend himself! And the crazy thing is I’ve seen a few of the “greats”(to say the least) and the darkness put on one hell of a show. One of the best gigs I’ve ever been too and I’ve been to hundreds!!
Slash's solo album Slash (2010) is awesome the whole thing, best songs are Promises ft. Chris Cornell, Ghost, Back From Cali, Crucify The Dead & Watch This
@war child probably best slash project
@@PVowner Promises is the most intense emotionally out of the whole album, the way Chris delivers his vocals...ahh takes you away
As far as the 2010’s solo album best songs you have to include starlight. Another one (beggars and hanger’on’s, starlight, slither, fall to pieces, back to the moment, back to Cali, to name a few) that I’d love to hear Axl sing.
It's true that Myles' voice and Slash's guitar playing are a good fit. I once saw Slash play live with Myles on lead vocals, and they played some Guns n Roses songs - I won't say Myles sounded exactly like Axl, but he certainly did the songs justice.
Far better than the VR songs he does that’s for sure, love him in Alter Bridge/Mayfield Four though.
Great stuff - no doubt Slash is something special 🤟🏼
Great video Justin 👌. At the end of the day it's Slash so it's gonna be good haha
I’m a huge fan of Slash and I really liked his work with Velvet Revolver. RIP Scott Weiland.
In your video you mentioned T. Rex and it made me wonder… What are your thoughts on the song Buick MacKane from T.Rex?
Myles can do the GnR and Velvet Revolver stuff live great. Also that riff is half of Shake My Tree by Coverdale/Page.
Thought I was the only one who was hearing that Coverdale/Page intro.
Spot on dude!
Myles is great! I first checked him out because of a Rick Beato video, I love his voice.
Loved the coverdale/page album!
JHRA is a belter of a channel! Keep up the good work
Great video Justin, very insightful! New sub here!
I really love Eric Dover, his voice is incredible and suited Slash's playing with Slash's Snakepit.
Versatile as hell. Loved him in Jellyfish
@@randall9000 I also don't know how his Imperial Drag album didn't sell millions
His voice was great and full of rage, 5 o clock somewhere is the greatest album gnr never made
Yes!! What a singer.
Maybe an unpopular opinion: Slash's solo work would be 80% better with Eric Dover up front. I don't get the Miles Kennedy thing. Boring.
It's just .old time rock and roll" rewritten again.
Hi Justin, loving your channel. Thanks for all the great content. Love your album videos (been listening to 1984 on repeat this week) and always learn a bit of theory from your vids.
Also, something I find incredible is your wardrobe. I don’t think I’ve seen the same clothes twice. How big is your wardrobe? Or do you wear 1 outfit and put it in the bin? Cheers. Bye.
Hi Justin, love you, your band and this channel, keep up the great work. I'm a huge fan of the legend that is Slash, but am also a huge fan of Myles Kennedy both as part of this band and Alter Bridge, and indeed his solo stuff, so I'd be fascinated to hear you break down some of his vocal performances, particularly on those songs where he hits stratospheric heights. I'm thinking particularly of Cry of Achilles and Find the Real by Alter Bridge, and Starlight and Battleground with Slash and the Conspirators. You're clearly a fan of his and possessor of a similarly high voice, so I'd love to hear you critique some of these performances and compare your contrasting styles.
That opening riff instantly reminded me of "Shake my tree" by Coverdale/Page!!!
That's what i thought!
Ditto, that was my first impression too!
100% agree
Me too. Saw a comment higher up saying this but pleased to see there's a few of us who thought the same.
Shake My Tree is just such a distinctive hooky riff. I don't think I've listened to it for 15 years yet it's still indelibly wired into my musical brain.
@@mattmckeon1688 It's a very good album, IMO. Full of riffs and big choruses! Supposed to be getting a remaster and re-release, according to Coverdale.
Their song 'Starlight' has incredible notes by Myles
The live version is killer.
Starlight was my wedding dance song
Unfortunately they cut this song on the new tour. I just saw them front row in Maryland and while it was cool to see Slash upclose, I have to be honest with myself and say the setlist felt like of bland. Starlight, Ghost, and so many of the VR/GNR covers helped push the night along previously. The show I just saw felt like so many songs kind of blended together and sounded the same. Wish Wicked Stone was still in the set too.
One of the best Myles renditions imho
@@independenceltd. That's the only song I like by Slash, and I love it. That live version is amazing.
Can't believe I have only just discovered your page Mr.H. Flicked through several videos in my lunch break and now I'm hooked. Love how you break things down so insightfully, and offer the benefit of your knowledge, experience and humour. Time well spent. I look forward to uncovering more gems. Shall also be diggin back into some Darkness tunes, in your honour. Much obliged my good man. Ps - Any Paul Weller or Chris Stapleton deconstructions knocking around?
Hi Justin, I really like this tune and Slash´s new album, the whole production sounds great, I love the sounds of the instruments....to me it does not matter at all, if Slash is not reinventing the wheel ;) dig your channel....take care
My fav Slash collaboration is "Always on the Run" with Lenny Kravitz. Still rips to this day. Great video too.
Always on The Run
Thx
These guys are great live, I like (not love) their records. I actually like the album where Myles was a guest the best (the Fergie track Beautiful Dangerous especially)
Loved it ! 🎸🤟
Love the slash and miles colab, I’ve really enjoyed their previous stuff but I’ve not purchased this latest offering yet. I did hear slash on planet rock talking about it though, (worth a listen) …from what I remember, those vocals weren’t intended to be the finished item but they decided to go with them when miles got COVID
All I have to say is this:
When my band played Download in 2010, I watched everybody and Slash and Myles destroyed that day and was the best band of the day IMO topping Billy Idol, STP etc only Aerosmith was as good.
They had some serious juice that day. I haven’t followed up on the recent recordings so I cannot comment on that.
Todd is an incredible vocalist, and definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves. His backing vocals are doing all the heavy lifting in this band. Saw him in Vegas over a decade ago where he sang Gimme Shelter, including the freakin' Merry Wilson part. Just insanely talented.
Sorry, you must mean Merry Clayton, Mary Wilson was in the Supremes.
Just saying no offense
@Simon Lang yes! I don't know where I got Wilson! Thanks for correcting me!
Yes. Todd’s singing is great. Myles has Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory condition of the digestive tract, and when it flares up and he is in pain, Todd often takes over lead vocals on some of the songs in a performance to lighten Myles’ load.
The Myles / Slash musical combo is amazing !!!
Thanks Justin - every time I listen to this song now I am gonna sing "Loaded, Loaded"
Hi Justin, really enjoy these musical breakdown videos, thank you for making them. Do you ever listen to Queens of the Stone Age? I have always thought Josh Homme was an amazing guitarist. Same goes for Jack White of The White Stripes. Would yyou consider analysing some of their stuff?
Thank you :)
Second this ! And any 00s garage rock revival stuff for that matter
Josh Homme is def one of the main guitarplayers out of his generation.
Hes got a distinctive and recognizeable style.
Have an entire sleeve dedicated to josh and his bands. Love his sound and his voice! Please check out head like a haunted house
Both of those guys are great as artists but overrated as guitar players
@@dpabercrombie
I would say Jack White is overrated but def not Homme.
I LOOOOOOVEE Slash n Myles!!! My top 2 bands are the Darkness and Slash n Myles ft Conspirators for absolute sure!! Though I'll admit the latest Slash album has had the weakest effect on me compared to the others he's done though I need to spend more time with it!
I thought Living The Dream was weaker than this effort.
I'm loving your honesty when dissecting / critiquing artist. especially legends like Slash, Bon Jovi, etc.
Hahaha, everything I was thinking when listening to this track.....you mentioned!
Great minds Jus, great minds..... 😉😏
Really enjoyed your analysis. As a guitar player in my 40s I have always really loved slash’s playing. A lot of players will give him hell because he plays pentatonic licks and blues based classic-ish rock riffs, but have always liked his style. I can’t say I love Myles Kennedy’s vocal style - too nasally/ Steve Perry sounding- but he’s obviously super talented and performs live very well. I prefer slash in velvet revolver (and of course GnR). Scott W had a more unique vocal style that took the music into a slightly different direction, a bit more edgy or alternative.
I'd love it if Justin analysed Scott's performances. He was just brilliant.
I agree, not a big fan of Myles voice. Steve Perry had a way better voice than Myles though.
🤘
Hey
@@ssskkkiiibbbaaa hey 🥸
Always felt like their music was good but not really GREAT.
Real talk.
yes. I agree
In these times, there is no music that is truly great except what has already passed.
Justin! I hope you see this. Huge fan ever since Permission to Land dropped my first semester away at college. I fancied Hot Leg as well. I was extremely concerned when you left to resolve your personal issues but glad to see you are well and have been blessed by this RUclips channel. Stoked to see The Darkness live at Jergels in Pittsburgh the night before Easter. I have 2 favors to ask, or rather one in return for another. I sang in bands when I was younger and often used falsetto. I will sing you the jingle of Justin Hawkins Rides Again (which I now do constantly throughout my day as a rideshare driver) if you guys could play your cover of Street Spirit. Even if the cover is unavailable, I will still sing the jingle from the crowd and be rocking my socks off in the audience with my wife for our first concert since lockdown. Love you, brother. Have a blessed day and safe travels!
I like watching you figure out the chord changes so quick…
Everything about the new album 4 is totally stripped back and 'good ol rock 'n' roll'. Slash even remarked that recording the album was orgasmic! The live recording element is really raw and not often heard these days, and I really enjoyed the laid-backness of it. I must say, the whole album is a banger! A lot less intricate and technical than I'm used to from Slash and Myles compared to the past few albums, but still a fair few earworms on there - including this song which has taken up residence in my brain a LOT the past few weeks! Huge Myles fan, seen him with Alter Bridge, Solo and with Slash and he has a fantastic range and is top notch (check out Alter Bridge Live from the Albert Hall with a live orchestra - mindblowing high note in Words Darker than Their Wings) Must mention Todd Kerns too, fantastic bass player and superb harmonising with Myles (The Heaverly Brothers) Huge respect for all these guys and for you, wish I had a fraction of the talent!! Anyways, thats my two penneth! Keep rockin' Jussy! Hope to see you at the rail at another gig very soon!
Myles Kennedy’s voice is insanely great!✨
And he is an amazing lyricist
@@slashthe2nd Incredible!
leaves that drop kick rose for dead imho☝🏻
Justin you’re a legend
Singing "You know that Justin Hawkins rides again" to that chorus riff works great and is my new ear-worm, yay!
