Slash and Myles Kennedy and The Co-Conspirators were formed following the release of the Guns N’ Roses‘ guitarist’s debut solo album in 2010, which featured the Alter Bridge frontman on two tracks. The band would go on to release 2012’s ‘Apocalyptic Love’, 2014’s ‘World On Fire’, 2018’s ‘Living The Dream’, and 2022’s ‘4’.
In an interview on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Kennedy spoke about the band’s upcoming album, revealing that songwriting had started prior to his solo tour last month.

“The easy part is the recording; the hard part is the writing,” he said, per transcription by Blabbermouth.
“[Slash] was sending me demos of the tunes. Then I was spending time with him, coming up with melodies and lyrics. And so that’s all done — I think with the exception of one song. Now I just have to find a moment to get in the studio and all that, knock that out.”
“But I will say that just even in the demo process and where we stood there before they went in to actually make the record musically, it is really exciting stuff. I’m really, really stoked about where this one’s going. It’s gonna be cool.”
This year, Kennedy toured as a solo artist following the release of his third album ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ in October. Meanwhile, Slash has been busy with various projects, along with planning a Guns N’ Roses tour for 2025.
Earlier this month, Alice Cooper, his daughter Calico, and Slash teamed up for a motorcycle-themed kids song named ‘Freewheelin”.
However, 2024 was also a dark year for Slash, as his stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight passed away at age 25 in July.
