MYLES KENNEDY Says 'There Has Been Talk' Of New SLASH Solo Album

Singer Myles Kennedy, who has fronted Slash‘s solo band since 2010, was asked in an interview with Metal Wani if there are still plans for the group, dubbed SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS, to work on a new studio album now that Slash is off touring with the reunited GUNS N’ ROSES. Kennedy responded: “Yeah, there’s been talk of that. I think it’s just a matter of when everybody’s schedules can make it so that can happen. ‘Cause the GUNS N’ ROSES thing is going great. So it’s just a matter of when that window comes.”

Kennedy was also asked if he agrees with KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons‘s controversial “rock is dead” comment. He responded: “No, absolutely not. I think that [the GUNS N’ ROSES ‘Not In This Lifetime’] tour is a testament the fact that there are still millions of people that wanna hear rock and roll, which is a good thing. I think that people have been saying that rock and roll is soon to be dead, really, since it started, which is fascinating to me. But I don’t think it’s gonna die anytime soon.”

GUNS N’ ROSES, with Slash and bassist Duff McKagan rejoining frontman Axl Rose in the band, began touring last year and has already book dates for much of 2017.

There’s no word yet on how long GUNS intends to stay on the road or whether they plan to record new music.

Slash‘s second album with Kennedy and the CONSPIRATORS, titled “World On Fire”, came out in September 2014. Their previous effort was 2012’s “Apocalyptic Love”.

Slash released his first self-titled solo effort in 2010. On that album he employed a different vocalist on each track, before settling on Kennedy for both touring and eventually recording.

Kennedy and ALTER BRIDGE issued their fifth studio album, “The Last Hero”, in October.
