Living the Dream is Slash's fourth solo album, the third to feature Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Slash released it September 21, 2018, on his own record label: Snakepit Records. The album was produced by Michael Baskette, who also produced the previous record World on Fire.^[1]

Background and recording[edit]

After reuniting with Guns N' Roses in 2016, the possibility of a third record for Slash and Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators was in question, let alone if they would stay together. Slash stated in multiple interviews, including on Eddie Trunk's show, that he would like to make the next album as he is always writing riffs, and had some written already but had to find time on the Guns N' Roses tour; the record was completed on the tour.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

He later appeared a second time on Trunk's podcast to talk further on an array of subjects including travel, doing press, and the new record, which he started jamming in 2015 and picked back up in 2017.^[7][2][6]

Some thought the album title Living the Dream was in reference to Slash 'living the dream', but Slash clarified: 'Well, you know, the album title is actually meant to be a sarcastic statement about the world we're living in at the moment [..] it was just something that came to mind—this tongue-in-cheek thing directed at social political events across the globe.'^[5]

Reception[edit]

Living the Dream has received mostly positive reviews from online and magazine sources. According to Allmusic, it is the first positive review to receive three and a half stars out of five stars stating, 'This is the sound of a working band locking in on their groove.' The album sold around 20,000 copies in its first week and debuted at 27 on the billboard 200.[2]

Music and lyrics[edit]

This was the first record in which Frank Sidoris played rhythm guitar, on Apocalyptic LoveMyles Kennedy played rhythm guitar and on World on Fire Slash played all guitars. Slash on the dynamic of the band: 'It's been an amazing ride so far; as a band we continue to get better, which is great. With the addition of Frank [Sidoris on guitar] since the World on Fire tour, I feel we have hit a creative stride.'^[13] It is also the first recorded digitally because tape recording has become expensive.^[14]

When interviewed by The Classic Metal Show about continuity between this record, singer Myles Kennedy explained: 'Yeah, it definitely has those sonic hallmarks, I think, that started to evolve. [..] It's 12 songs, and there aren't a lot of epic journeys [..] these are very concise, and there's an uptempo quality to a lot of the tracks that I think bode well for this band.'^[15]

Slash also commented on the musical direction by saying: 'It's a natural progression from World On Fire [..] I think it has a little more diversity—some of the ideas are not really what I would consider to be predictable. At the same time, the record is also a bit more structured, with songs that are shorter and more to the point than last time... 'It's just a snapshot of where we're at which is what we're going for with each new album — to be present in what we're doing and come up with something that is representative of and reflects this moment in time.'^[5]
