Having announced they will release their new album, Living The Dream on 21st September, Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators have unleashed the first single from the album in the form of “Driving Rain”.

“This is a riff I specifically remember playing with the guys for the first time at a venue in New Hampshire on the World on Firetour,” explains Slash. “It’s a cool guitar part we ran through, and from that point forward the rest of the song started to come together in my mind while on the road. We put it all together this year and Myles came up with a great melody for it.”

Myles Kennedy adds, “The riff is very reminiscent of vintage Aerosmith. It’s got a certain funk to it that’s compelling. Lyrically, it’s a story about somebody who works on the road–it could be a musician, and it could be a traveling salesman. What makes it interesting is this guy has an addict girlfriend or spouse who continues to relapse, and she ends up getting him to come home. She’s miserable and falls back into bad old habits, and that compels him to head back to her to save the day.”

The group have announced they’ll kick off a U.S. headlining tour beginning the 13th September 2018 in Los Angeles.

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.
