Slash: I’m looking for something that feels right to me

Slash, an American musician, has insisted that he is looking for something that feels musically right to him, while admitting that working on his solo project along with Myles Kennedy, Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz feels great.

“I’m looking for something that feels right to me, because everything I’m doing is to satisfy me, musically. And it’s true when I’m working with people. I’m looking for the right combination of people to achieve that. So that’s why I’m really happy now, I love the singer and the drummer and the bass player is f—ing fantastic. And they bring me that much closer to doing that which excites me”, Slash stated while talking to Boston Phoenix.

The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist has released two solo albums, but only ‘Apocalyptic Love’ includes Kennedy, Fitz and Kerns.

The 47-year-old also revealed that his work is not dictated by other people’s expectations.

“I’m not really dictated by other people’s expectations. It’s really about my own, and that’s pretty much where all the work is. You know, trying to do something that I A) like and B) enjoy doing. And trying to find something that I agree with, and that’s pretty much the biggest pressure; it doesn’t really come from the outside”

“I’m constantly looking to be turned on. I can do music that is fine, but that doesn’t, umm, it doesn’t satisfy my musical sensibility, personally. So in other words, I’m looking for things that turn me on melodically, or whatever else turns me on: energy, a groove, emotion. And that’s what I’m looking to achieve, so I write stuff every day, come up with ideas every day, and when I start to expand on those ideas, working with the band, I’m trying to achieve something of almost orgasmic proportions”, Slash concluded.
