I don’t think there is a single soul in the world that would argue the genius and skills of Saul Hudson, aka Slash. From his time in Guns N’ Roses, to Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and of course his collaboration with Myles Kennedy who possess one of the strongest voices out there. The man knows his way around a guitar. Inside out, upside down, backward, forward and blindfolded.
While he did return to GnR in 2016, he continues to do his own thing with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators. The fourth album, which is set for release on February 11th, is simply titled 4.
There is just something about these two getting together. It’s not just chemistry, it’s freaking magical. I love what they create on their own but can you imagine if Myles were to replace Axl Rose in GnR???? Myles has the pipes and the range and the power to do all of those songs without sounding like a strangled cat, which let’s face it, Axl does these days.
While I wait for that to happen, I will continue to enjoy the majesty they create together like this track, “The River is Rising”.
