In a recent interview on HardDrive Radio Slash talked about his next album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, titled “4”, which will be released on February 11th 2022 via Gibson Records in collaboration with BMG.
“The way that we recorded this record, everything was just done live in the studio, and it’s very spontaneous). This is actually the most live I’ve recorded so far. I’ve always done the bass, drums and guitars live in the studio — bar none — except for when I do other people’s sessions. But in any band that I’ve worked in, it’s always been like that. But you come back and you do guitars later because you wanna get the right sound and you go into the control room and you do the guitars from there. And a lot of the reason is because you can’t have the amps in the room when you’re recording the drums; producers hate that, ’cause they don’t want it to bleed. And I don’t give a shit, but I’d never been able to find a producer that could deal with it. So you just sort of bite the bullet and you do it where you do the guitars later, and vocals are always done after that. This one was done with the amps in the room with the drums and Myles singing all at the same time. So that’s how this record was done” said Slash.
“4” was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at the historic RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile).
