SLASH
describes the creation of
“Driving Rain,” “
This is a riff I specifically remember playing with the guys for the first time at a venue in New Hampshire on the
World on Fire
tour. It’s a cool guitar part we ran though, and from that point forward the rest of the song started to come together in my mind while on the road. We put it all together this year and Myles came up with a great melody for it.”
MYLES KENNEDY
adds, “The riff is very reminiscent of vintage Aerosmith. It’s got a certain funk to it that’s compelling. Lyrically, it’s a story about somebody who works on the road--it could be a musician, and it could be a traveling salesman. What makes it interesting is this guy has an addict girlfriend or spouse who continues to relapse, and she ends up getting him to come home. She’s miserable and falls back into bad old habits, and that compels him to head back to her to save the day.”
LIVING THE DREAM
is
SLASH’s
fourth solo album, and third with
SLASH
and his bandmates
MYLES KENNEDY (Vocals), BRENT FITZ (Drums), TODD KERNS (Bass & Vocals)

“filled with head bangers and plenty of fancy fretwork”

(May 2012).
