Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
All right, from what I've heard, the album's 1st week sales is 29,000 in the US. Wow, Fortress actually outsold it which I didn't think was possible, given that Slash totally obliterated AB in the PR-sense. Being on Howard Stern, Trunk, Nikki Sixx, and being the opening band for Aerosmith whilst the only thing that AB did PR-wise in the states was be on Eddie Trunk. Then again, maybe that Classic Rock Magazine Fan-pack was so sweet to US fans that they ordered it anyway.

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
Alter Bridge fans tend to be of the mentalist variety that pre-order it months before hearing a note, with sales then dying off rapidly after the first week. People will still be buying this based on Slash's name alone for a while yet. Still, Fortress
For all of the hope that it brings...

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
Quite a solid album. Much better than Apocalyptic Love, although it's definitely a tad too long.
Slash's guitar work is particularly impressive. The only gripe I have is that the solos don't feel very memorable, mostly just riffing around a certain scale with a few random bends thrown in.
Myles has killed it on this album. Vocals are great and some of the melodies are top-notch. After Fortress and now World On Fire, I really can't wait to hear his next outing.

Guys. I <3 Beneath the Savage Sun so much.
There are parts that remind me of Alice In Chains, parts that sound a little Megadethy, and obviously GnR and AB

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I hear some Velvet Revolver at times on the album. Kinda strange. I guess some of these tunes would be VR songs if they had a singer.
Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I hear little bits of AiC, SG, Chris Cornell, others that people have mentioned, and lots of other moments that are nicely familiar but new twists. Love the whole album.
Trying to remember albums that Myles and Slash mentioned in the last year.

They supposedly debuted Automatic Overdrive the other night. Anyone seen a video yet?

I've been scouring Youtube since the Roxy show and have yet to find a video of it. What were those people there thinking!?slasherbridge wrote:They supposedly debuted Automatic Overdrive the other night. Anyone seen a video yet?
Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I have no problem with this. Ppl who spend money for Slash and Myles should be enjoying the show and not wasting their time making crappy audiorecords.rockit2112 wrote:I've been scouring Youtube since the Roxy show and have yet to find a video of it.

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I agree, but at the same time, I want to see it
Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I know that feel, that's the reason I wanna more DVD material from AB and Slash.

But you can usually count on one idiot who films every song and uploads it to Youtube! Damn people actually living in the moment.Mr. Slash wrote:I have no problem with this.

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
I love Automatic Overdrive more and more every time I hear it. Bent To Fly, The Dissident, and The Unholy are on replay on my ipod almost constantly.
This album is so killer.

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
Nothing specific about the album, but I thought this is interesting to hear. Wikipedia Fact Or Fiction with Slash where the interview reads off some info from Slash's wiki page and see if it is true from the man himself.

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
Pretty lengthy Q&A from Slash. A lot of good questions, a lot of good answers. The one thing I will say is that those guys will be playing 90 min. for Soundwave which is really a lot to work with. Twice than what AB got this year in comparison.

Edit: On another note, should we create an interview/youtube/videos thread for this album like that one we got going for the Fortress album?

Re: Slash ft. MK & The Conspirators "WORLD ON FIRE"
Haven't been paying attention to rankings, though I have caught it on the radio a lot, but World on Fire is #2 on active rock charts:

edit to add, I don't quite understand these ratings. If I click the link for WoF, my local station doesn't show up in the list of stations playing it. If I follow another song that shows my local station playing it, and click on the station, WoF is on the list.
