Slash feat. Myles Kennedy - "Back from Cali"

[lockebox]

Second single from Slash's self-titled album. Hopefully this does better than the peak of #25 from "By the Sword", which was a poor choice of lead single I thought.

[PHOBES]

I'd rather have "Starlight."

[lockebox]

Goes for adds July 13th.

FLOPVILLE

[lockebox]

Flopville? This song hasn't entered that territory quite yet.

[Nicholas2.0]

This sounds like a sequel to an LL Cool J song! (Or a Notorious B.I.G. song, if you prefer.)

[(Artie Ziff)]

Cool song, just heard today. But don't forget the pre album single with the Jap singer. This would be three.

[lockebox]

*hits head*

That's like saying "Say You'll Haunt Me" is Stone Sour's second single.

[jvandyck87]

Don't use that argument. Artie has vehemently defended his claim that "Mission Statement" is the lead single off that album.

[lockebox]

That wouldn't suprise me in the slightest.

[Gravity.]

I'd rather have Gotten, for selfish reasons, but this will do better on the charts.

Well it shouldn't surprise you in the slightest. You even called him on it yourself. Read it and weep! :)

Oh yeah. I remember.

Anyway, point is, this is the second single from the album.

I lost a ton of respect for Slash ever since he worked with Rihanna and Fergie

The song with Fergie isn't too bad actually. I didn't know that Fergie could pull off the vocals that she did in the song, though.

Ignored.

If you listen to all that pop (from the looks of your avatar and signature), I don't know why this would disappoint you so much. Furthermore, I don't know why you'd hold Slash in so high a regard in the first place that working with the likes of those two would bring your opinion of him down so much. I mean, the man did just make his own version of Santana's Supernatural (which was a hollow gimmick when Santana did it). Forget splitting hairs on who the guests are. Hell, there's probably a lot of stuff over the past 15 years that would make a principled Slash fan object.

[john123]

Slash looks like he wants to be Santana.

[lockebox]

Lovin' this right now. Top 20 looks on.

This I'll second. We've gotten this played on Live 105 a few times during the free for all, (M-F 8 PM-Mid) and if I didn't know it was Fergie then I never would have guessed. That one I like much better than the Myles Kennedy (or Adam Levine) ones.

[Devin]

I didn't think this would do as well as it's doing now. Good for Slash!
