Slash's new band with Stone Temple Pilot's singer Scott Weiland
I hadn't heard of this band until recently, though some of the songs sound familiar but The Last Fight is the latest radio release and part of the lyrics struck me so profoundly I can't get it out of my head. "Left home with a pack of clothes, without a family tree..." I actually stopped in my tracks when I heard those lines.
"The Last Fight"
Time feels like I've been back in jail
Like when I was doing time but in the can
Spend all night on a bended knee
Just to beg for something to believe
Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree
[Chorus]
This fight could be the last fight
No giving and no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery
Time heals all of the burned out bridges
Filled with nothing more than misery
I wear the mask of the unbattled son
Trying to beg for something to believe
Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree
[Chorus]
Break the chains of featherweights and giants
With the stain forever lasting liars
They're afraid when we spit out the fire
And start living, living, living, my friend.
[Chorus x3]

What a talented group there... and glad that Scott has gotten his act back together... he was always such a great performer... and have been told we kinda' resemble each other. :p
