Watch a video trailer below:
Slash will join comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien on his award-winning podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend” on Monday, February 21 for an in-depth conversation about his music history, the new album, and more. Tune-in worldwide to “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend” on Monday, February 21, here.
Pandora has launched Artist Takeover Mode from Slash to celebrate the release of the new album. It will be available for the next two weeks.
During his Pandora takeover, Slash details how the pandemic played a role in the themes for some of the tracks on his new record and discusses how the chaos, division, and sense of loss of the past few years are reflected in the album’s lyrics. He also talks about how he, like the rest of us, adjusted to working remotely, recording music and a video with Tom Morello during the early days of the pandemic. He tells an interesting and ironic story about the recording of “Shots Fired” from his Apocalyptic Love album and talks about some of his favorite songs from Cheap Trick, The Rolling Stones, Zeal & Ardor, Foo Fighters, Gojira, Jim Carroll and others.
Artist Takeovers are a “guest DJ”-style Pandora experience where top artists program a mix of their songs, as well as favorites from other artists, and add their own personal commentary. Artist Takeovers are an extension of Pandora Modes, a unique feature that lets users customize their Pandora listening experience by choosing from selectable “modes” on their favorite stations to give more control over which songs they hear.
4 is Slash’s fifth solo album and fourth overall with his band featuring Myles Kennedy (Vocals), Brent Fitz (Drums), Todd Kerns (Bass & Vocals) And Frank Sidoris (Guitar & Vocals).
For 4, Slash and the band traveled across the country together to Nashville, TN, and recorded the new album at the historic RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile), revealing a stunning new sound and style all captured live in the studio. Cobb shared the band’s desire to lay down the tracks live, in the studio including guitar solos and vocals - a first for the group. The band’s previous albums over the last decade Apocalyptic Love, World on Fire, and Living The Dream have continued on an upward trajectory, all achieving Top 5 Billboard charting debuts in the U.S. and reaching the Top 10 on 12 major charts across the globe. To date, the three SMKC albums have now garnered 10 consecutive Top 5 Radio singles, spawned sold-out world tours, and have earned Slash and the band the best critical acclaim of their career.
