I Live Too Fast To Die Young

Description

With I Live Too Fast to Die Young, it’s clear that Monroe is charging into the summer with a triumphant roar to deliver you the true rock ’n’ roll escape of 2022. Recorded at Inkfish Studios in Helsinki, Finland, between November and December 2021, the album features several guests, including guitar legend Slash of Guns N’ Roses, who plays solos and provides additional guitars on the title track. “I live too fast to die young, that’s no small thing when your head is spinning,” roars the crown prince of exciting, electrifying frontmen Michael Monroe on his second album for Silver Lining Music, I Live Too Fast to Die Young (the follow-up to the critically acclaimed One Man Gang in 2019), and these 11 proclamations prove he is completely right. Even a pandemic could not stop Monroe and his band from unleashing the tightest, leanest, meanest and most fun rock ’n’ roll music of the year, and the likes of “Young Drunks & Old Alcoholics,” “All Fighter” and the punky “Murder the Summer of Love” show the crackling electricity of CBGB-style punk with shimmering melodies wrapped around the riffs. There are also broad, Stones-tinged strolls such as “Can’t Stop Falling Apart” and “Everybody’s Nobody,” while the title track aims between your eyes with a driving rhythm and a provocative chorus dripping with Monroe’s irrepressible attitude. Recorded at Inkfish Studios in Helsinki, Finland, between November and December 2021, the album features several guests, including Guns N’ Roses guitar legend Slash, who plays solos and provides additional guitars on the title track.
