The Dandy Warhols have shared a new single from their upcoming album ROCKMAKER. If “I’d Like To Help You With Your Problem” sounds a little heavier than usual, that could be because the song features Guns N’ Roses guitarist, Slash.
Says frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor: “The song has a real Vietnam-era acid rock sound. We wanted that kind of guitar playing on it, but we don’t have anyone in the band who can do it. Once we began discussing it, it became apparent that there wasn’t really anyone else whose hands we could put it in, so thus the Hail Mary to try and get Slash to play on it…The first time we heard it back in our studio, we just stared at each other with our mouths open. What he played on the track is amazing. I’ve never heard him play quite like that, but what is so fascinating to me is that it is clearly him playing, as recognizable as a familiar human voice.”
You can watch the video for “I’d Like To Help You With Your Problem,” which was created by Andy Link and has strong post-apocalyptic vibes as the band play a show against a beachside disaster. As far as AI-assisted videos go, there seems to be more care than usual with it. Watch below.
ROCKMAKER is out March 15, and The Dandy Warhols will be on tour in March, including NYC’s Webster Hall on 3/9.
