According to Blabbermouth.net, SlashFrance.net and AlterBridge-France.fr conducted an interview with Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash) before Alter Bridge's November 4 concert at Le Zйnith in Paris, France. The 19-minute clip, which includes performance footage, can be seen below.
When asked if the forthcoming second solo album from legendary guitarist Slash (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver) - which will feature lead vocals and songwriting contributions from Myles - will be heavier than last year's self-titled effort, Kennedy said, "A lot of it depends on which songs make the cut. There's 17 tracks [in the works] right now, so depending on which end up being the final ones. But there are definitely songs with more of an aggressive side - [Slash's] signature dark riffs that he's so great at, there's tracks with that. Then there's also tracks that touch on other vibes, stylistically. So it's definitely a dynamic [album]"
Slash recently completed the first recording session for his upcoming solo album at Barefoot Recording in Hollywood, California with producer Eric Valentine (Queens Of Stone Age, The All-American Rejects). Joining Slash in the studio were the members of his touring band: Kennedy, rhythm guitarist Bobby Schneck, bassist Todd Kerns (Sin City Sinners, formerly of Age Of Electric), and drummer Brent Fitz (formerly of Theory Of A Deadman).
Regarding the musical direction of his new material and how it compares to last year's self-titled effort, Slash previously said, "This one's definitely a very focused... Very hard. Some of it's very heavy. It's got sort of a more unified sound to it, especially with one vocal all throughout."
I've always thought Myles Kennedy was one of the best 'current' singers going around and I still do - at least in studio...but when I heard Alter Bridge "Live in Amsterdam" I was bitterly dissapointed in his performance. I thought it was quite lazy - speaking some of the lyrics and quite often not even finishing the lines...

this. Exactly what i thought. Not to mention the majority of the songs were rushed through. I don't think it accurately reflects the band though - just that particular night.

I understand what you guys mean but he more then likely did that to save his voice. I mean just think about the fact that he had to sing all those songs over and over while on tour. I wouldn't want to risk loosing my voice just for one amazing show and have like 20 bad ones or none after you know? and the rest of the band sounded amazing as always
apparently you didnt watch the song watch over you on that dvd when it was myles a guitar and the crowd. unreal vocalist, amazing band, going to be an awesome cd from slash.
Exciting stuff.. This will the best album Slash has done since AFD! I feel it.. Myles is bringing the best out of him, and the other way around.. I love Myles and AB so much, but this will be something different.. And I love that
