In fact, just as the act was taking the stage Wednesday night, news was spreading that the Viper Room - the stuff of hair metal folklore where Slash and his ilk first cut their teeth -will be the latest “reimagined” casualty on Hollywood’s famed Sunset Strip. Though this project was birthed amid a very tumultuous period for the Guns N’ Roses dynasty, it’s great to see Slash still keeping it active even as GNR has now officially reunited.
There’s also guitarist Frank Sidoris who peppered each song with signature grooves while drummer Brent Fitz smoothed out the rhythm section with a steady hand. Not to be outdone by Slash, he also plays a mean solo on the triangle during the new track “Whatever Gets You By.” But it was a cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” - which the band recorded for the soundtrack behind the new Disney film “Stuntman” - that was a banner moment for the singer.īassist Todd Kerns’ harmonizing vocals were also a welcome layered touch on several tracks, and when stepping up to the mic for main vocal duties on “Always On The Run” and the punk-rock influenced “Doctor Alibi” (a Slash song originally featuring Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister), he firmly stood his ground.

Singer Myles Kennedy absolutely shines as a frontman (a role he innocently foreshadowed in his appearance in the 2001 movie “Rock Star”) with a multi-octave range that once led him to try out for Led Zeppelin. The band gets equal billing in the project - from the backdrop to the spotlights on stage - and it’s easy to see why.
The guitarist has always been very cognizant of the musical company he keeps, whether it’s working with dynamos in GNR or Velvet Revolver to now Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, with whom he’s most-often collaborated since 2012.

Slash’s natural-born music talent aside, the full ensemble shone brightly. But in this solo setting, what was great to see and hear were more blues influences coming to the forefront - no more so than on a smoking offering of “Always On The Run,” the powerhouse song he wrote with Lenny Kravitz in 1991 and has since dusted off for this tour, sounding just as fresh 30-plus years later. So that was the funny experience about this particular record, was everybody having to navigate the whole COVID experience.Dressed in his trademark top hat and sunglasses, Slash’s solo slinging was just as characteristically on par throughout the night. And so I came out, and then we did the percussion and mixed the record and drove home. But I just got vaccinated, so I only had to quarantine for a few days.
And then we recorded the background vocals in the guest house of the house that we were all quarantined in. He continued, “So we mixed what we had, which was a lot. And we still had to do percussion and background vocals, and so we sort of stalled.” “And then we went and recorded the whole record, and then I got a phone call from Myles in the studio when I was about to do overdubs, and he goes, ‘Man, I tested positive.’ And subsequently, two of the other guys tested positive, so they all had to go into quarantine. “The funniest story about this record was the COVID story, because we took a tour bus to Nashville to keep ourselves safe - to get there and not travel commercially,” Slash told Germany’s Radio Regenbogen (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). The Guns N’ Roses guitarist reveals in a new interview that he, Kennedy, and two of the Conspirators all were infected with COVID-19 despite purposely not traveling commercially en route to the studio. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop most of them from contracting COVID-19 during the process. Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators took extra precautions while recording their upcoming album, 4.
