Myles Kennedy

A fan of Myles Kennedy asked me to post the full video version, so here it is! Now you can see my goofy face, in addition ti hearing my goofy voice.

Full, live video version available if there's enough demand. Personally, I don't need to see my goofy face (hearing my goofy voice is enough). BUT if enough people out there wat to see the full video version, let me know in the comments. I semi-apologize for the image quality of the main photo, but we were using Zoom so what are you gonna do? Anyway, here I talk to Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge / Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. This was originally for an interview article, but everyone in conversation agreed it could double as a podcast episode. To be honest, I wasn't very familiar with Alter Bridge before this interview, but you know what? Practically everyone at least knows who Slash is, and Myles plays in a band with Slash. Alter Bridge is also a respected band among modern guitarists, with Myles and Mark Tremonti often seen as among those guitarists who "keep rock alive."

As musicians progress through their careers, eventually they change focus from creator to either a teacher or a mentor. They still can create, but there is a focus on giving back and fostering the next generation of musicians. But what if that creative process continues to exite, energize, and inspire the musician because there is so much they still have to say? That is what we have here with not only one of the greatest voices in rock music in the 21st century, but also one of the most consistent musicians of all time with 2 highly successful bands, and 1 incredible solo exploration project. The one and only Myles Kennedy joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. You know him from Alter Bridge or Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, but the topic of the day is his latest solo record, The Art of Letting Go. On this episode, we talk with Myles about: Myles witnessing the reaction to his newest album The Art of Letting Go being more rock & riff based, continuing to show range in his overall artistic style. Why Myles still has so much more to say musically and how he is still inspired by the creative process to satisfy his passion in life. The importance Myles puts on lyric writing, understanding the responsibility his lyrics have when impacting so many people across the world. This episode is the perfect 30 minute snapshot of Myles and why his music has continued to connect with fans for over 20 years.

Myles Kennedy is fast becoming a living legend of the rock scene. If not alone for the fact he sings for two of the world's most recognisable bands in Alter Bridge and Slash Ft Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators just add in his solo material which is a different beast entirely showcasing just how good a power trio can sound when in the studio. That trio is on the cusp of releasing their third album, The Art Of Letting Go, on October 11, an album that sees Kennedy embracing the rock side of his persona with more riffs, more spice, more everything. HEAVY was fortunate enough to spend some time with Kennedy earlier this week to run through The Art Of Letting Go. We start by asking how he is feeling as release date approaches. "Good," he smiled. "It's getting close enough now - just a few days - and it's kind of a trip, you know, in a way that your little sonic baby is about to be unleashed into the world. It's kind of an excuse to just get out and tour. I love making records, I love creating. I also love getting to perform and hang with my mates." We ask about the musical direction on The Art Of Letting Go and what he set out to achieve. "I wanted this record to be more of a rock record," he replied. "With the solo records, when I first started doing it, it was more about acoustic-based music. The second record, The Ides of March, was a little bit of the acoustic element, but also more Americana and Southern rock and country at times. And this one, I just wanted to rock, you know? I wanted to have it be based on riffs and have a certain pocket and a certain groove and build that way." In the full interview, Myles emphasized The Art Of Letting Go's rock-centric direction compared to his previous acoustic and Americana influences. He highlighted the importance of the opening track for capturing listener attention in today's fast-paced music landscape and shared his creative process, which focuses on moving forward rather than reflecting on past projects, as he prepares for touring. The discussion also touched on the influence of Slash on Kennedy's guitar skills and work ethic, with Kennedy explaining the different writing processes he employs for his solo work versus collaborations. He expressed the album's theme of enjoying life without stress, the different joys he gets out of different projects, and more.

Myles Kennedy Interview | The Brett Allan Show | The Art of Letting Go Alterbridge and Slash As a prolific songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, and skilled guitar player, Myles Kennedy tunes into the rhythm of his surroundings and goes with the flow. Fronting Alter Bridge, his soaring vocals, open-hearted lyrics, and airtight riffs have fueled the group’s global impact as a critically acclaimed, arena-filling force of nature over two decades-plus. On the microphone for Slash and The Conspirators, his towering range and magnetic stage presence has consistently stunned audiences since 2010. Becoming a celebrated collaborator, he’s the rare presence just as comfortable on a track with Disturbed, Halestorm, and Sevendust as he is with Gov’t Mule and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. It’s why he’s generated over 1 billion cumulative streams, earned gold and platinum certifications worldwide, uplifted countless fans, and KERRANG! christened him “one of rock’s finest vocalists.” It’s also why he’s carved out his own lane. With two solo efforts under his belt and sold-out headline tours in the rearview, a sense of keenly honed intuition guides his third full-length LP, The Art of Letting Go [Napalm Records]. “I’ve been going through a massive Bruce Lee kick, no pun intended,” he smiles. “His quote, ‘Be water, my friend’, always stuck with me. On a grander scale, it represents the record. It’s an exercise in removing prior restrictions and shattering the parameters I set up for myself as a solo artist. This is a rock record. In the past, I thought rock might be a little too close to the other projects. Instead, I just let go and embraced my essence as a singer, guitar player, and writer. This is who I am. This is my DNA. Instead of being apologetic and shying away from it, I’m letting go and being myself.” Connect with us on our website for more amazing conversations! www.brettallanshow.com Have you got some feedback?

¡Bienvenidos a Punto Muerto! Si bien muchos se han limitado a escribir y grabar sus álbumes de forma aislada o mediante videollamadas durante la pandemia, Slash, Myles Kennedy y la banda the Conspirators cambiaron el guión para el lanzamiento de su última colaboración. El grupo viajó a Nashville, donde los miembros reservaron un estudio y grabaron el álbum juntos, al mismo tiempo, a la vieja usanza, para obtener un trabajo más inmediato y directo. El resultado es el noveno álbum de Slash lejos de Guns N 'Roses y su cuarto junto a Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. El grupo logra el resultado deseado. Las canciones son orgánicas, urgentes y directas. Las 10 pistas del álbum no están sobrecocidas ni sobreproducidas. Simplemente suenan como un grupo de músicos que se reúnen para tocar rock and roll. Si pueden, pónganse un par de auriculares y van a escuchar cada instrumento en la mezcla en perfecto equilibrio., que suena como un álbum de este estilo tiene que sonar. A veces, el álbum tiene incluso una sensibilidad retrospectiva. Además, Slash y Myles Kennedy son una pareja prolífica, una pareja que graba música con sangre. No necesariamente hay sorpresas en 4. El tema de apertura, "The River is Rising", es todo lo mejor que esperarías del grupo: coros altísimos, riffs contundentes y, por supuesto, un explosivo solo de guitarra. Kennedy, uno de los vocalistas más confiables del rock, está en el punto exacto aquí. Luego, “Whatever Gets You By” comienza como un blues al estilo de los Doors, si se quiere, para luego pasar a ser casi una pieza de rock sureño. “C’est la vie” tiene un fabuloso riff de Slash, con un talkbox soberbio, acompañado de una banda que nunca te deba a pie, en una de las mejores canciones del álbum, mientras Myles sobrevuela todo con su voz nasal. Sigue a esto la canción “The Path Less Followed”, un tema que suena como si hubiera sido grabado en los años 70. Aunque en realidad, es una bocanada de aire fresco cuando las canciones de hard rock enfatizan la melodía por sobre la pesadez. Si bien el álbum es una fiesta de rock and roll, tampoco hay excesos. Incluso Slash mantiene las cosas al mínimo en su trabajo de guitarra, limitando los efectos y dejando que los riffs hablen por sí mismos. Un ejemplo de esto es "Louder Than Words", que presenta algunos efectos, pero más allá de eso, el sonido de la guitarra es orgánico y directo. Por cierto, el trabajo del baterista Brent Fitz es soberbio. 4 continúa con la dinámica "Spirit Love", que van tomando fuerza lentamente para terminar siendo cada vez más fuerte y pesada. La canción presenta uno de los mejores solos de guitarra a la velocidad de la luz de Slash en el disco. Una de las canciones más largas de 4, "Fill My World", no termina de calificar como una poderosa balada, sino que es más un himno rockero de medio tiempo. Slash, una vez más, navega magistralmente por el diapasón, no solo para el solo extendido sino también para los punteos melódicos. “April Fool” se inclina un poco más hacia un sonido que mezcla el rock clásico con el grunge y hasta con un blues optimista. "Supongo que la broma es sobre vos", canta Kennedy en un muy buen gancho. Cerraremos el siguiente bloque de temas con The Conspirators "Call Off the Dogs", un lindo rock que es uno de los temas más rápidos del disco. Una canción que muestra la energía que la banda buscaba capturar grabando juntos. El álbum concluye con "Fall Back To Earth", una poderosa balada progresiva que, con más de seis minutos, es la más larga de 4. La canción pasa de un verso melódico más lento, a un coro pesado y dramático, y un solo espectacular. El disco logra mostrar todo lo que Slash y Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators hacen mejor. No es innovador, pero es un muy buen álbum de rock bien construido que debería complacer a los fanáticos. Tracklist: 01 The River Is Rising 02 Whatever Gets You By 03 C'est La Vie 04 The Path Less Followed 05 Actions Speak Louder Than Words 06 Spirit Love 07 Fill

TODD 'DAMMIT' KERNS (SLASH FEAT. MK & THE CONSPIRATORS / BRUCE KULICK / TOQUE AND MORE) Todd "Dammit" Kerns is a Canadian musician who has worked with several Canadian bands, most notably The Age of Electric . Kerns is currently the bass guitarist and back up vocalist for Slash in the band Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators . TODD KERNS discuss the dynamics of being a songwriter as well as a versatile "utility" or "blue collar" musician often filling last minute touring needs on bass, guitar and vocals, typically with little rehearsal time or prep time. Todd has been one of the best " Fill In " guys while maintaining a long-standing position with one of Rock's Greatest Guitarist in "Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators" well over a decade. We also discuss how some of our heroes are on their last trip around the Rock N Roll Sun so to speak and how band members aren't always equally important to the "brand or band's catalog of hits" while making references to multiple line ups of the same band and the rock band "Foreigner" who's established a classic band with a great catalog of music is now likely more important than who's actually in the band. We also discuss the Bruce Kulick Band performing their first Live "Kiss Kruise" Show on land at Count's Vamp'd in Las Vegas, NV 12/30/2021.
