\"Slash<\/p>\n

The VooDoo Lounge, Harrah\u2019s Casino, Kansas City, Mo. (July 26, 2014) \u2014 Slash with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators brought their World on Fire tour to Kansas City, a stop that was squeezed into the tour schedule that delighted local and regional fans of the dynamic duo. <\/p>\n

Slash and Kennedy have made prior stops here, and Kansas Citians have become quite a fan base for all things Slash. And this show was no different. The doors opened at 6:30 p.m., and the line was long for all those who sought to claim their up-close-and-personal spot. The crowd was diverse and included at least three generations, which was nice to see. <\/p>\n

Although Slash always will be known as the former guitarist for Guns N\u2019 Roses, he\u2019s made it clear that he\u2019s shed the GNR skin, and he stands tall on his own merits. Slash is, well, Slash. He\u2019s an incredibly talented guitarist, and everything he touches seems to turn to gold. And Slash brought his usual A-game to his Kansas City performance, which began right at 9 p.m., not a minute late. <\/p>\n

As soon as Slash could be seen entering from backstage, the crowd fully was engaged. Slash and Kennedy hit the stage with \u201cYou\u2019re A Lie,\u201d which got the crowd head banging and set the tone for the entire two-hour set, all of which had the crowd on its feet. <\/p>\n

Make no mistake, Slash may have the women giddy with his fast, furious and fancy guitar playing, but Myles Kennedy possesses a sultry and broad vocal range, and his performance was spot on. Although fans cheered when he reproduced the \u201cAxl\u201d vocals during covers of \u201cNightrain\u201d and \u201cSweet Child O\u2019 Mine,\u201d his own voice shined and carried fullness, especially during \u201cBack From Cali\u201d and \u201cStarlight.\u201d Kennedy\u2019s throaty vocals were the perfect match for Slash\u2019s sexy guitar work during \u201cAnastasia.\u201d Bassist Todd Kerns also belted out some awesome vocals during \u201cDoctor Alibi.\u201d Brent Fritz offered tight and clean drums throughout the set, and, both, Kerns and rhythm guitarist Frank Sadoris delighted fans with their endless energy. <\/p>\n

Slash and Kennedy ended the set with \u201cSlither\u201d and encored with \u201cParadise City,\u201d which seems to be their signature encore. <\/p>\n

Overall, it was an awesome show. And part of what made it awesome was the respectful collaboration between Slash and Kennedy. If either of them has an ego, it\u2019s never evident on stage. While Slash may grab the headlines, he gives Kennedy the stage and steps in only when necessary. It\u2019s a fantastic working relationship among the entire group. And when everyone is having fun, the fans see it \u2013 that\u2019s what makes live performances so enjoyable. <\/p>\n
