These guys live, sound even BETTER than their albums. Seriously. You have to go to a show.
-
They have all the elements: TWO guitars (one of them being riff master Slash), the greatest rock voice alive today, great backing vocals, and a tight drum and bass. Just a “proper” rock band. What a sound.
-
I like how a HUGE icon like Slash is open to others input. He could say "No. Look at the catalogue of legendary albums I've created & played on" but he has his bandmates put their stamp on it too!
-
Slash is 90% of the reason why I started playing guitar. His songwriting has aged like fine wine! Hope he can still crank 'em out for another 20+ years!
-
Slash has got to be the greatest riff writer in the last 40 years
-
It's just a great BAND. Todd's voice enhances Myles's. Frank's guitar enhances Slash's. Brent and Todd are a kick-ass rhythm section. Great band
-
Myles F’N Kennedy is such an awesome vocalist! Can’t get enough! Hard to believe he’s still sounding so great with that huge range of his into his 50’s! Been working non stop for the past 30 years straight! 💪
-
Slash is a masterclass of building a personal brand
-
Slash is the greatest guitarist in Rock history. He makes history in Rock n' Roll with many cool artists.
-
"Ability to compose and improvise at the same time." That encapsulates Slash as a guitar player! People often don't fully understand how great he is. Well done fellas.
-
I mean, it's a miracle that Slash is even still alive and seeing him doing so well, still being out there making such great new music and being so inspirational makes me so incredibly happy! ❤
-
seeing slash in guitar hero III is one of those moments that changed me forever..
-
Lifelong Rockstar! As a child in the 80's growing up listening to Slash, I will forever be a fan! Slash has definitely earned his spot & his 2012 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
-
Myles sounds better than ever. Nice SE-v7 mic. At least he uses what he pushes. That is honesty right there. Can’t wait to hear the whole album.
-
Blows me away after all these years how Slash is still such a force in the music scene. Just an incredible player!🎧
-
OMG, this fn' part where you can see the band writing River Is Rising is dope, give us more of that with other songs!
-
No non-sense pure Hard Rock is what we want! Thank you Slash, MK and the Conspirators for keeping the spirit of Rock music alive!
-
