\"Slash-World-on-Fire\"The wait is finally over. This Fall if you were looking for an album that explodes with huge guitar riffs and explosive vocals than World On Fire<\/em> featuring Slash and Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators will ignite your world. This is the third album by Slash. The guitar god shines bright experimenting from a page from his past with shredding guitar riffs that have an Aerosmith early hard rock driving vibe to a modern day scenario. Slash is not afraid to experiment and takes his guitar shredding to another level opening with the sizzling World On Fire. The band takes no prisoners. Slash featuring his Conspirators Todd Dammit Kerns on bass, Myles Kennedy on vocals and Brent Fitz set the bar for new excellence on this song. The sultry vocals of Myles Kennedy combined with the amazing back-up vocals of Todd Kerns makes this track scream with hard-driving energy excellence.<\/p>\n

Slash carefully orchestrated his bluesy Joe Perryish riffs on \u201cAutomatic Overdrive.\u201d Other songs on the CD that follow in that vibe are \u201cDirty Girl\u201d and \u201cSafari Inn.\u201d The song \u201cWicked Stone\u201d is electrifying with a hard driving beat that features the delicate balance of Myles and Slash at their best. <\/p>\n

Slash also proves he is the master acoustic guitarist on \u201cBent To Fly.\u201d The lyrics on this song are so beautiful and poignant. Slash is not afraid to take on delicate subject matter on World On Fire<\/em>. He is a pro animal activist and shows it on \u201cBeneath The Savage Sun.\u201d The song \u201cBattleground\u201d takes on the trials and tribulations of war. Myles Kennedy lights up this song like the 4th of July with his sizzling vocals. Myles has an amazing range and surely demonstrates his unique vocal skills on World On Fire<\/em>. The sure fire way to have a hit is to find a singer that is in balance with your guitar skills. Slash has found his secret formula with this band, as Slash and Myles take turns complimenting each other on every song. <\/p>\n

The song \u201cAvalon\u201d takes you into the present with a feverish guitar solo and in the now lyrics. \u201cDissident\u201d returns to the war theme. World On Fire<\/em> is very modern with a touch of retro. Slash and Company explodes with brilliance. If you love guitar solos, then World On Fire<\/em> will fill that penchant. There is a fine line between love and war, and Slash and The Conspirators leave no stone unturned.<\/p>\n
