The song developed quickly, combining <strong>SMKC\u2019s<\/strong> unmistakable hard-rock drive with a soaring melody and immediate hook that ultimately made it the natural choice to introduce the album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SLASH <\/strong>explains, <em>\u201cCreated in the studio while we were standing there in pre-production, a riff came to me and started developing. I had nothing of that song prior to those guys coming in, and then we started up a night of rehearsal and played that riff. It came together really quickly. As for it being the first single, you never know what the first single is going to be until you\u2019ve recorded it. When I started thinking about it, \u2018Flying Blind\u2019 just seemed to have the right kind of melodic sensibilities and a hook to make it single material.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<p>For <strong>MYLES KENNEDY<\/strong>, the title track\u2019s lyric examines the shortcuts people sometimes pursue in their search for fulfillment. <em>\u201cI really enjoyed putting a melody to this song,\u201d<\/em> <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong> adds. <em>\u201cThe way the chord progression starts in the beginning had a nice flow to it. The lyric is about how sometimes people try to take shortcuts and try to find the easy way to achieve happiness or enlightenment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In celebration of the release of <em><strong>FLYING BLIND<\/strong><\/em>, <strong>SMKC<\/strong> have partnered with <strong>Fandiem<\/strong> to launch a special charitable sweepstakes giving fans the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Wales to meet <strong>Slash <\/strong>backstage at Cardiff Castle.\u00a0 Benefiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/RKWdK4q5zY3?e=d533bb1502&amp;c2id=54fe0bceb049883233fd0798d11bb99d\"><strong>American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/2eSPlChk3kz?e=d533bb1502&amp;c2id=54fe0bceb049883233fd0798d11bb99d\"><strong>National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)<\/strong>,<\/a>the campaign offers one winner and a guest round-trip travel to Cardiff, a <span dir=\"ltr\">three-night<\/span> hotel stay, tickets on <strong>SLASH\u2019s<\/strong> guestlist for his performance at Cardiff Castle, backstage access to meet Slash, front-of-house viewing, access to pre-show soundcheck, a Slash merch pack, a South Wales sightseeing tour, and a pre-show dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can donate now and enter for a chance to win at <a href=\"https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/8fUzafLDTY2?e=d533bb1502&amp;c2id=54fe0bceb049883233fd0798d11bb99d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.fandiem.com\/slash<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0take part in this exclusive experience while helping raise funds for two organizations dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SMKC<\/strong> continue to work the same way they did at the beginning: get into a room, play, and see what happens. That philosophy drives <em><strong>FLYING BLIND<\/strong><\/em>, the band\u2019s first full-length studio album since 2022\u2019s acclaimed<strong> <em>4<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em> Some of its songs developed from SLASH\u2019s demos and musical fragments, while others were created spontaneously with the musicians playing together in a room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SLASH<\/strong> brought the initial material to <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong>, who added vocal melodies and lyrics before the songs were developed into full-band arrangements with bassist <strong>TODD KERNS<\/strong>, drummer <strong>BRENT FITZ<\/strong>, and rhythm guitarist <strong>FRANK SIDORIS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHe\u2019s an incredible riff writer,\u201d<\/em> <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong> says of <strong>SLASH<\/strong>. <em>\u201cHe also comes up with simple chord progressions that are very compelling for melodies. It works, and it\u2019s timeless.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous <strong>SMKC<\/strong> albums, whose riffs and arrangements sometimes evolved through nightly soundchecks and extended touring, much of <em><strong>FLYING BLIND<\/strong><\/em> came together in concentrated bursts between the members\u2019 other projects. <strong>SLASH<\/strong> developed the material while touring with Guns N\u2019 Roses, recording his acclaimed blues album <em>Orgy of the Damned<\/em>, and launching the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival. <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong> began working on the songs during a break from Alter Bridge and while creating his third solo album. \u201c<em>Our schedule is tight, and you have to abide by it or everything else starts to get affected,\u201d <\/em>he says.<em> \u201cNow it\u2019s just a given that you\u2019re always creating. It\u2019s a muscle thing. The creative part of your brain doesn\u2019t have time to atrophy, and you just keep going.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nThe band reconvened with Baskette, who previously produced <strong>SMKC\u2019s <\/strong><em>World on Fire <\/em>in 2014 and <em>Living the Dream<\/em> in 2018, at his Studio Barbarosa in Florida. Staying together throughout the sessions allowed the musical and personal chemistry at the center of the band to become an essential part of the recording.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the sessions, <strong>SLASH<\/strong> gave Baskette two clear instructions: keep the recording as live as possible, and do not overwork the performances afterward. <em>\u201cHe really adhered to that,\u201d<\/em> <strong>SLASH <\/strong>says. <em>\u201cIt worked out great.\u201d <\/em>The arrangements were largely in place before recording began, but remained open enough to accommodate spontaneous ideas in the studio. With the musicians performing simultaneously, the band retained as much of the natural interplay and energy of each complete performance as possible. <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong> recorded his vocals several months later and describes the finished album as a high point in <strong>SMKC\u2019s<\/strong> recording history.<em> \u201cOut of all the records, the sounds and performances on <strong>Flying Blind <\/strong>are my favorite. It\u2019s very present. It\u2019s right there,<\/em>\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Across its 12 tracks, <em><strong>FLYING BLIND<\/strong><\/em> explores a broad range of sounds without abandoning the band\u2019s direct, hard-rock foundation. <em><strong>Good Time Girl\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>combines a talk box hook with a pronounced country twang influenced by pioneering guitarist Jimmy Bryant and steel guitarist Speedy West, while <em><strong>Sweet Kill<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0delivers brash, riff-driven rock that <strong>SLASH<\/strong> calls <em>\u201cprobably the most \u201980s thing I\u2019ve done in a while.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>One of Your Kind<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>moves with a down-tuned churn, while sharp, punk-influenced chords drive <strong><em>Here in Babylon.<\/em>\u00a0<em>Thrill Seeker<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is built around a dizzying descending riff that remains deep in the pocket, and <em><strong>Rev My Heart\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is a classic rock \u2019n\u2019 roll rave-up anchored by an unforgettable progression and a lyric inspired by the night Kennedy first met his future wife. The instrumental <em><strong>Living the Dream<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0continues an <strong>SMKC<\/strong> tradition, giving <strong>SLASH<\/strong>room to improvise and placing his unmistakable guitar playing at the forefront. <em>\u201cI\u2019ve done one of these instrumentals on every Conspirators record except Apocalyptic Love,\u201d <\/em><strong>SLASH<\/strong> says.<em> \u201cIt\u2019s fun to have something that I can open up and improvise on, where I don\u2019t have any specific guidelines or guardrails. It\u2019s nice to do a new one every record, so that live you don\u2019t have to do the same one all the time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the album\u2019s most significant departures is <strong><em>Looking for a Miracle<\/em>,\u00a0<\/strong>the first song <strong>SLASH<\/strong> has written on pedal steel and the first to feature a recorded pedal steel solo from the guitarist. <strong>SLASH <\/strong>developed the original musical idea on pedal steel before adapting it for guitar, so the full band could rehearse the song. He then returned to the pedal steel during the recording sessions and worked out the solo at Studio Barbarosa. <em>\u201cI love pedal steel,\u201d<\/em> <strong>SLASH<\/strong> says. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s one of these instruments that is so unbelievable in what you can do with it. So it\u2019s become a thing for me. But it is a commitment. It\u2019s a pretty complex instrument.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>KENNEDY <\/strong>and the rest of the band have watched <strong>SLASH\u2019s <\/strong>relationship with the instrument develop over time. <em>\u201cFor a long time, we would go and rehearse for tours or do pre-production, and then we\u2019d leave, and Slash would stay at his studio and practice to all hours on mastering pedal steel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The album concludes with <strong><em>Stem the Flow<\/em>,\u00a0<\/strong>a sweeping final statement centered on disillusionment with institutions and systems once believed to be unbreakable. Hard-hitting, spontaneous, and wide-ranging, <em><strong>FLYING BLIND<\/strong><\/em> captures <strong>SMKC<\/strong>sounding as loose, raw, and locked-in as ever.<\/p>\n<p>The roots of <strong>SMKC<\/strong> stretch back to <strong>SLASH\u2019s <\/strong>star-studded, self-titled 2010 solo album, on which <strong>KENNEDY<\/strong> appeared as one of several guest vocalists. The musical and personal connection that followed quickly developed into a permanent band.<em> \u201cI got into working with the Conspirators as a happy accident from doing that first solo album,\u201d<\/em> <strong>SLASH<\/strong> says. <em>\u201cI established a relationship with these guys on a musical and personal level that I wasn\u2019t about to give up when Guns restarted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What began without a long-term plan has grown into a 15-year partnership, five studio albums, and numerous world tours. <em>\u201cIt blows my mind that 15 years has moved this fast,\u201d <\/em><strong>KENNEDY<\/strong>says.<em> \u201cIt\u2019s been the blink of an eye. But as they say, time flies when you\u2019re having fun, and we have a lot of fun. It\u2019s a pinch-me kind of thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years after forming, <strong>SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS<\/strong> continue to refine their sound while carrying the torch for immediate, unvarnished rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. For <strong>SLASH<\/strong>, the force behind <strong><em>FLYING<u> <\/u>BLIND<\/em><\/strong> and <strong>SMKC<\/strong> remains the pure pleasure of playing music. <em>\u201cWhen we started, we didn\u2019t have anything,\u201d<\/em> <strong>SLASH <\/strong>says. \u201c<em>We weren\u2019t setting out to conquer the world. It was just for the pure pleasure of it. So now, we get together and play, we have a really good time, and then we go out and tour and do it again the next time.\u201d<\/em> <strong>SLASH <\/strong>laughs. <em>\u201cAs long as there\u2019s electricity, we\u2019ll keep plugging in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44575 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-400x400.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757-250x250.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_7757.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Flying Blind track listing:<\/p>\n<p>01.
