Slash bassist Todd Kerns - who also plays in Sin City Sinners - has posted a new blog titled Day One : Here We Go. An excerpt follows:

"This band is rehearsed and ready. We have been chomping at the bit to get on stage. Today is day one of the Let Rock Rule Tour with Aerosmith. This is a childhood dream realized by every member of our band. Even Slash. Of course he is on a first name basis with everyone in Aerosmith but he is amongst their biggest fans. The fact that he is a part of their bill on his own, with his band, is no small feat. We will be in each other’s pockets for 12 weeks with Aerosmith. I can’t tell you what a thrill that is for me. Aerosmith has had one of the biggest impacts on my life as a musician. They continue to be an inspiration. Always have. Always will."

"These next 12 weeks will be the high water mark of the 4 years I’ve been playing with Slash. After that we will be set free on our own to take this experience to new levels beyond. 2014/2015 will be the most important chapters of our careers. It will set up what follows. I plan to make the most of it. By 2016 we will all be different people. For better rather than worse, I think."
