SLASH Says ‘Flying Blind’ Album Title Is ‘A Great Metaphor’ For SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS
Slash says the upcoming album by Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators marks a natural step forward for the band. He described its title, “Flying Blind”, as a fitting metaphor, and said the record has its own character rather than repeating earlier releases.
The 12-track album is due on 26 February 2027 through Gibson Records and was recorded largely live with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette in Florida. The band made it in scheduled windows around members’ other commitments, including Guns N’ Roses, Alter Bridge and Mammoth. Slash said he began the title track by jamming with bassist Todd Kerns and drummer Brent Fitz, then sent it to Kennedy, who wrote the lyrics.
In short
- Slash calls “Flying Blind” a fitting album title.
- The 12-track record arrives on 26 February 2027.
- The band planned recording around members’ other projects.
Explained simply
Slash is the guitarist best known for Guns N’ Roses, and he also records and tours with singer Myles Kennedy and a backing band known as the Conspirators. Kennedy is also the frontman of Alter Bridge. The musicians have other projects, so their work together takes place alongside those commitments.
The group makes hard rock, with Slash’s guitar playing and Kennedy’s vocals at its centre. Its albums are recorded with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette, and the musicians have said they often play together live in the studio. Gibson Records is the label releasing the album; Gibson is also the guitar maker associated with Slash.
