Brilliant interview,
Re: Interview with Myles on UG
I didnt finished read yeat, but so far, I would like to detach these parts:
-----------------------------
In 2002 you actually wanted to quit music altogether. Why?
I was burned out: I was burned out as a writer and I was burned out as a performer and I just didn't know what the next step was. So I went back to Spokane teaching guitar for about a year and just trying to reevaluate everything. I was still writing but I wasn't actively pursuing a band or anything like that.
-----------------------------
Man, I always hate to read or hear this kind of things in his interviews. To think he almost gave up, because he didnt have the recognition he deserves. Imagine a world without Myles Kennedy songs. Stupid industrial music people.
-----------------------------
Wasn't it around this time that Slash called you to audition for Velvet Revolver?
They had reached out and asked if I'd be interested in auditioning and sent a demo. They'd sent four songs that were just essentially empty canvasses for me to put a melody and lyrics to. I actually worked on about three of the songs and recorded 'em in my little home studio and basically never sent 'em back. I respectfully bowed out because like I said that was that 2002 period and I still was pretty-for lack of a better word-kind of shell shocked from the last few years. Just burnt out and kind of lost my confidence.
-------------------------------
I would love to hear that!!!
-----------------------------
Which brings up another interesting point in that you didn't play any guitar on the "One Day Remains" album. Did that bother you?
I think it was such a limited amount of time, I didn't really give it any consideration. Now when we started touring that record? That was a different story because that was the very first time I had to go out with a guitar on. Let me tell ya-I can't watch anything from that era. It's excruciating because you can just tell and you can see in my body language, I didn't have a clue what to do with my hands [laughs]. And so it was kind of funny.
-----------------------------
It' funny to think that Myles was unconfortable just singing at the begining. I know Myles never wasn't any David Lee Roth kind of vocalist and it's nice to hear his side of the story about been a frontman without a guitar.
