Slash has announced four shows in Brazil for January and February 2024. The musician will be performing with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators on The River Is Rising Tour '24 – Rest Of The World.
Guns N' Roses guitarist is coming to the country to perform in Belo Horizonte (January 29th), São Paulo (January 31st), Rio de Janeiro (February 1st) and Porto Alegre (February 4th). Tickets are on sale at the Eventim website .
The tour promotes 4 , Slash's fifth solo album and the fourth studio album by Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators (SMKC), which features Myles Kennedy (lead vocals), Brent Fitz (drums), Todd Kerns (bass/vocals) and Frank Sidoris (rhythm guitar).
4 It consists of ten organic and straightforward tracks. The album doesn't overproduce its tracks or overload them with grand elements. It's pure rock and roll made by a group of musicians playing together – simultaneously in a single studio room. This means that, upon listening to the album, the fan is automatically transported to the studio where they recorded. All the instruments are in perfect balance, although the first tracks may sound strange to the uninitiated.
On the eve of the release, Slash spoke with journalists from around the world in a Zoom press conference. There, he talked about using a sitar for the first time in the studio, explained why he decided to record the entire album live in the studio, and more. Check out the full interview here.
First, Slash was asked by a European publication: why record live in the studio? And the guitarist explained: “I always wanted to do this, put everyone in a room with the amplifiers and play live like that. And the producer, Dave Cobb, accepted the idea.”
The magic of 4 lies precisely in the strength of the group gathered in a studio room. The album doesn't bring surprises or any other innovation, but it does its job of continuing to surprise us with Slash's genius and the connection he found with Myles.
Wikimetal Slash how he stays energized to continue making music in so many different ways, as is the case with 4. To that he replied: “You know, I have a great passion for what I started doing and continue to do. I love the guitar, I love rock and roll, I love everything that has to do with all of that. It still excites me — maybe even more now than when I started — and it’s a journey that never ends, there are always new things to do with it.”
It's not even a question of reinventing myself. I'm still in the process of inventing myself, to begin with. So I'm kind of just following through with the aspirations from the beginning and trying to get good at this and that in terms of music. And just as far as playing guitar is concerned… that's also a never-ending journey, because there will always be new things to learn until I'm dead.
So I just have fun with this whole thing. And you have to work hard at it, because there are so many obstacles there to derail you [laughs]. So I've always learned that you have to persevere, and that's become part of my nature. Anyway, I love what I do and I can't imagine myself stopping.”
