Slash says hip-hop has become "generic" and he likes the fact that "rock isn't mainstream anymore"
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer also listed Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age as his current favorite bands and spoke about the re-union with Axl Rose in 2016.
On Friday, Slash released his third studio album with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators. Titled 'Living The Dream', the album is a straight-up hard-rocking affair that pairs the legendary guitar work of Slash with the soaring vocals of Myles Kennedy. However, while the album is a great example of rock music, it appears that Slash believes he’s no longer playing a mainstream genre of music.
As part of the promotion for the album, Slash recently sat down with USA Today for an in-depth interview in which he spoke about his new music, the decline in the popularity of rock as a genre, and his current rapport with estranged Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose.
