Chuerta86 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Can't get over the song, I know it's a cover but I find it very refreshing how different it sounds and pull away from the traditional Slash sound/tone as well as Johnsons vocal performance. The licks, vocals and Steven harmonica mix well together. I play the song on Amazon music and really like the booty twerking animation 🤣 Overall excited for the album. I'm not too familiar with blues but I keep playing Killing Floor and Black Betty (Metal Church cover) back to back. This song instantly made me think of this Black Betty cover.

Ant000 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I’ll be bummed if it’s just like the 12-15 obvious US cities. Blues Ball played clubs, wonder what venue size it’ll be. Edited March 10 by Ant000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Showbox would be a killer place to see him, holds just under 1200 people. I saw Buckethead there years ago, it's a cool venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that is what it will initially be. I also thing that this album could end up being a bit of a commercial success which could lead to more shows. 2 hours ago, Gordon Comstock said: I'd travel to Seattle to see Slash playing a set of blues covers in a bar or theatre. Same. It is pretty much guaranteed they will play the House of Blues Boston, but I will travel to see another show or two if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Since only the vocalists of the songs are credited on the feature list I wonder if anyone else is on the instrumental with him, like another guitarist. Would seem strange to me, to have an album full of guests on all songs and leave one out. I'm gonna throw out a wild guess and say that Zakk Wylde is trading solos with Slash on Metal Chestnut. How awesome would that be? Edited March 10 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Ball played clubs, wonder what venue size it’ll be. It probably isn't just from the venue I posted that leaked. Lewiston,NY is still a good half hour from Buffalo, NY. So that's definitely not an obvious city even though Buffalo is the second biggest city in New York State. The venue depending on what portion it's held in can hold upwards of 10,000 people or around 2 ,500/4,500(if the lawn is open for the smaller stage ) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_W._Brydges_Artpark_State_Park I don't think a tour like this with Keb Mo and ZZ Ward as openers (assuming the "hosts" for the leaked show are correct) will exactly play obscure places so I'd guess all the usual big cities will be included along with some places like Lewiston. Unless Keb Mo and ZZ Ward are bigger openers than I thought. Edited March 10 by Subtle Signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess playing live is different to playing in the studio for many players, look at how Slashs playing deteriorated into the same mess within the last 2 or 3 years, but on this new studio recording he played way more focused compared to his live solos. Zakk is the same, these guys just get caught up in the live energy or something, I can't explain it really.

Nothing special or personal. Slash asked him to lay down some vocals for Watch This. White offered him to play guitar instead because he preferred to sing only his own songs, or on his own records, or something like this. So they ended up not collaborating and Slash sent the demo to Dave Grohl who then played drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he'd ever play Victoria, but the Royal Theatre would be a sick place to see him... it's about half the size of Queen E but it's a way nicer venue.

May have to put more gaps in but he'll complete the tour! Ya know I was thinking. If Slash is touring without the conspirators and is just going to tour on this album I wonder if he is going to be playing these shows as a support act. What if he is going to replace the black crows on the Aerosmith run since they are doing their own tours now There are rumors of the rescheduled shows being announced soon and I found it weird slash didn't announce the tour dates along side of the album Edited March 10 by Bitchisback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 20 minutes ago, El Guapo said: That would be great! I’d like to see him in a smaller venue as the main act tbh. Supporting Aerosmith means playing in front of empty stadiums by daylight like Lenny Kravitz did during some of the reunion shows. IDK… I don’t even know if he should play festivals with a blues set like this. I guess I should wait for the album to build an opinion.

Have never heard of Jack White refusing to also sing for that same song. Maybe you got it mixed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said I'll play drums, I'll play guitar, but I don't wanna sing. He was one guy that I wanted to work with. Pretty much everyone else that I went after I managed to get.
