Slash - You're A Lie


Apocalyptic Love is the upcoming second studio album by current Velvet Revolver and former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash. The album will feature Slash's band, consisting of vocalist Myles Kennedy, bassist Todd Kerns, and drummer Brent Fitz (collectively referred to as "Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators"). Produced by Eric Valentine, it is set for release on May 22, 2012.

During his first solo world tour, Slash announced his second studio album. Unlike his self-titled debut solo album, which featured a variety of singers including Chris Cornell, Ozzy Osbourne, M. Shadows, and Kid Rock, he said his second album would feature Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy as the sole singer. Kennedy had later appeared on two songs from Slash's first album, and was later the vocalist of Slash's band on tour. Slash later said that his second album would be more of a collaboration album with Kennedy, and said he was unsure whether it would be released under his own name or a new name entirely.



Slash began working on his second solo album in June 2011, and that December, three songs — "Halo," "Standing in the Sun," and "Bad Rain" — had been recorded. Slash described the new material as "very heavy." The album was finished in February 2012 and was given a May 22, 2012, release date. The first single, "You're a Lie," was released to rock radio on February 27, 2012; a 30-second preview of the song was released online with this announcement. Slash released the track listing for the album on March 5, 2012. Myles Kennedy, who wrote the lyrics, has said that some of the lyrics on the album are about his experiences with drugs.


Slash and his band, will play the album in its entirety on April 11, 2012, at the Revolver Golden God Awards.

On March 26, 30 second samples from "Apocalyptic Love" were made available on Amazon.com. The song "Anastasia" samples Bach's BWV 565, which Slash interpolates in his live solo in his version of Godfather Solo.

All lyrics written by Myles Kennedy, all music composed by Slash and Myles Kennedy.

Todays tune "You're A Lie" is the first single from the record.
