Slash Bassist Talks ‘Earth-Shattering’ Apocalyptic Love and Web Video

Slash releases his second solo album, Apocalyptic Love, on May 22. Band bassist Todd Kerns has now written on his blog: “A few weeks back we finished recording the new Slash album that has since been titled Apocalyptic Love after the lead-off track, which is earth-shattering!
“We finished up recording at Barefoot Recording with [producer] Eric Valentine and the very next day we were shooting an in the studio performance for Mativision. We performed all 13 songs from Apocalyptic Love for the Mativision cameras. The cool thing is that while watching it on your computer, you’ll be able to select what you wanna look at and switch around 360 degrees all over the place. It is totally mind-blowing. Crazy. I have no idea what format that’s coming out in, but it is to be part of some fancy release of the album.
“In the CONSPIRATORS, we have a new face in the fold. Our brother in arms of the past couple of years, Bobby Schneck [guitar], has moved on and I wish him all the best in the world. Bobby is an amazing guy, a great talent and a great friend.
“The newest Conspirator is none other than Frankie Sidoris. Look out! We got some young blood in the band. Gonna have to step up my game now! Frankie comes from Las Vegas’ own THE CAB. Fitz and I jammed with a lot of people to find this kid and he’s gonna be a monster. In the future when you're all clamouring about how wonderful Frankie is, remember it was us who found him!”

Must be a bass player thing. As it seems they don't have too many words to describe the creative process.

Re: Slash Bassist Talks ‘Earth-Shattering’ Apocalyptic Love
Well, considering Todd Kerns hasn't really been involved in any major recordings, maybe his idea of "earth-shattering" is justified to him the way he sees it.
That said, I hate when artists do this. And usually when they do talk it up like this, it turns out to be pretty ordinary.
I was actually thinking about the new Van Halen album, and how there was no talk at all from the band in the lead up to the release about how great it would be, and it's turned out to be an absolutely killer album.
So whenever it's talked up like this, I have more doubts than before.

He i s basically saying this is the first major project ive ever been involved with and therefore its earth shattering. Will never forget when first band i was in hit a studio.. fuckin thought was greatest thing ever. Looking back, was far from it lol
