In a recent interview with Jave Patterson of radio station Rock 104.5 , Slash talked about the experience of recording his new album, 4 , live.
The guitarist's new album with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators arrives next Friday, the 11th, and was recorded live in the studio, an experience that Slash considers unprecedented for himself. "It was quite a liberating experience recording that way," says the guitarist.
“Normally, when we record, we play the music together live and then – because I hate using headphones and I hate the way my guitar sounds on headphones – those tracks were always considered a base and I would go to the control room and play there. But I always wanted to do it with everyone in a room with the amps and playing live like that. And Dave [ Cobb ] was the first producer who encouraged me to do that,” Slash recounts.
During an episode of a mini-documentary released to promote 4 , Slash had already commented that recording live was something that "no producer had ever" let him do. The guitarist also expressed pride in his work , considering it "the best album we've ever made so far."
