Slash is certainly one of the most influential Hard Rock guitarists of all time because his work with Guns N' Roses is a landmark in the history of music and he continued over the decades to contribute a lot to music, being part for example, of the supergroup Velvet Revolver. He was heavily influenced by bands like AC/DC and he always loved them. In an interview with 95.5 KLOS (Transcribed by Blabbermouth), the musician revealed which are his favorite albums of the Australian Hard Rock group. Slash reveals which are his favorite AC/DC albums "'Powerage' (1978). Still probably one of my favorite AC/DC records. But at the time when I got into 'em, the record that came out was 'Highway To Hell' (1979). And that's how I became familiar with them. And then, because of that record, I heard 'Powerage', and I was like, 'Whoa, this record.' That was, really, that got me into the whole AC/DC catalog. And then Bon Scott died. And that was just… It was, like, 'I just got into these guys.' And then really in pretty quick succession, Brian (Johnson) came into it." "One of the biggest years for metal in the '80s was 1980, and you had 'Back In Black' come out and then you had Ozzy's 'Diary Of A Madman' come out and all that. And Sabbath's 'Heaven And Hell'. It was a huge, huge year for rock," Slash said. Slash loved the most recent AC/DC album "Power Up" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4UGLm2QjC8&pp=ygUdYmVhdGluZyBhcm91bmQgdGhlIGJ1c2ggYWMgZGM%3D In an interview with Ola Englund in 2024, Slash revealed that lately he was listening more to new albums released by old bands like AC/DC. He praised the record "Power Up" released in 2020. "As far as bands are concerned, mostly the stuff that I've been listening to are older bands with new records. AC/DC had a new record. That was really good. Queens of the Stone Age got a new record. I love Gojira; it's great." "The new Metallica is fucking amazing. So there's a lot of new stuff in that vein. And then as far as new bands are concerned, I think Dirty Honey was pretty cool. I think that was a really good new rock band that sort of has that old school style that's actually pretty genuine. I'm trying to think if there's anything else that I'm forgetting that's come across my thing," Slash said.The post Slash reveals which are his favorite AC/DC albums appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The classic Pink Floyd line-up with Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright was dissolved in the early 80s when Wright was forced out of the band by Waters. The band's bassist and main songwriter decided to leave in 1985 but Gilmour and Mason reactivated the band without him, inviting Wright to join them again. Waters was never on good terms with Gilmour again, although they reunited at the Live 8 in 2005. They haven't said good things about each other over the years and a reunion is extremely unlikely. So in an interview with The Mirror, Mason said that he would love to see what Artificial Intelligence would do with Pink Floyd's music, showing what they could have written if they had stayed together. Nick Mason would like to see AI making new Pink Floyd songs “It would be fascinating to see what AI could do with new music. If you tried to run it as a sort of ‘Where did Pink Floyd go after?’ The thing to do would be to have an AI situation where David and Roger become friends again. We could be like ABBA by the time we’ve finished with it. “In a 55-year career, most of it was great fun. We were ­enormously privileged to be in a successful band and tour the world and hang out with really interesting people. It’s a gold card to meet all sorts of your favorite sportsmen and actors,” Nick Mason said. The version of the band without Waters disbanded after the 90s and Gilmour focused on his solo career. So Waters and Gilmour were always on and off touring performing Pink Floyd's biggest hits. So in 2018, Nick Mason had the idea to form "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets", his own band, which is focused on performing songs from the first era of the band, which are not included constantly in the setlists of Roger and David when they are on tour. He also talked about that project talking with The Mirror: “The best thing about keeping the thing going is for our benefit. It makes sense to keep it going rather than ­shutting it down. I also enjoy it because the more time passes, the more you can look at it with a rosier glint," Nick Mason said.The post Nick Mason would like to see AI making new Pink Floyd songs appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Paul McCartney helped to form The Beatles back in 1960 and since then became one of the most influential and successful songwriters of all time. At the age of 82 he continues to be active and has many scheduled tour dates in 2024. He will perform in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, France, Spain and England. The line-up of his band is the same for 22 years, since the American guitarist Brian Ray joined his band that already had Wix Wickens, Rusty Anderson and Abe Laboriel Jr. In an interview with New York's WAXQ radio station (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), Brian Ray explained why he believes Paul doesn't retire. Brian Ray explains why Paul McCartney doesn't retire "He's passionate about it. And he loves to sing a song. He loves to entertain. He's just got that gene in him. He was born to do it. I think to myself, 'Why? Why do it?' He has to love it, because it's a schlep for anybody. I don't care if you're Paul or whoever you are, it is still a schlep. You gotta still get up and go and make that plane and make that bus. It's still a schlep. You've gotta really want it." "He certainly doesn't need it. It's not about that. It's about — I guess he looked at people like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, who kept doing it. I think Chuck was doing shows into his early 90s, if I'm not mistaken. So, I think Paul looks at that and goes like, 'Why stop? Just why stop? I love it. I enjoy it. People are loving it,'" Brian Ray said. Brian Ray is 69 and worked with many other legendary artists during his career. Some of them are Etta James, Smokey Robinson and Johnny Hallyday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRluAsrXV94&pp=ygUTcGF1bCBtY2NhcnRuZXkgMjAyMw%3D%3DThe post Brian Ray explains why Paul McCartney doesn’t retire appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The late legendary George Harrison was the youngest Beatle, but was a fundamental part of the band's sound and songwriting. Although he and Ringo didn't have much space to share their compositions, because Lennon and McCartney were the dominant songwriters, he had the chance to write many incredible songs with The Beatles and during his solo career. He was the first Beatles member to have a number 1 hit song and had a really successful solo career until his death in 2001 at the age of 58. Harrison revealed once which was the song that according to him had one of the nicest melodies that he wrote. The song George Harrison said had one of the nicest melodies he wrote George Harrison mentioned the track "Something" in an interview with Ritchie Yorke back in 1969 as one of the nicest melody tunes he wrote. The track was released as a single and featured on their 1969 album "Abbey Road". "When I wrote it, I imagined somebody like Ray Charles doing it. It's, you know, that's how I - the feel I imagined. But because I'm not Ray Charles. Then you know, I'm sort of much more limited in what I can do, then it came out like this. It's nice. It's probably the nicest melody tune that I've written," George Harrison said. Generally the track is considered a love statement to his former wife Pattie Boyd, who later on married his great friend Eric Clapton. But as he said in the interview, he wrote the track with Ray Charles in mind. He even offered the track to Joe Cocker before it was recorded with The Beatles. Because Paul and John not always gave him and Ringo the opportunity to do their songs. It is considered the best song of the "Abbey Road" album by many Beatles fans. His favorite versions of "Something" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UelDrZ1aFeY&pp=ygURc29tZXRoaW5nIGJlYXRsZXM%3D In 2019, George Harrison’s official social networks posted a quote from the late musician talking about the Ray Charles version. He said “My favorite version is the one by James Brown… When I wrote it, in my mind I heard Ray Charles singing it. He did do it some years later.” It had George Harrison on vocals and guitar, John Lennon on piano, Paul McCartney on bass and Ringo Starr on drums. The additional musicians were Billy Preston on the Hammond organ, George Martin on string arrangement besides unidentified sessions musicians playing violins, violas, cellos and string bass. Although Harrison wrote the track with Ray Charles in mind he wasn't happy with the version the American musician did for the song later. Two covers he praised were done by James Brown and Smokey Robinson, two artists he also loved. He revealed that in an interview with MuchMusic back in 1988 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). “The best one I ever heard was (from) James Brown and he did it in 1972. But he did only as the b-side of a re-recorded version of ‘Think’, which is a very old song of his. So it was only on the b-side. I sent him a postcard and said: “You should make it the A side, it’s a killer! It’s really good. I like Smokey Robinson‘s version of ‘Something' as well. I can’t think off hand, of anything else (other versions),” George Harrison said.The post The song George Harrison said had one of the nicest melodies appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
