Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators review – boisterous, blues-soaked rock’n’roll


Kennedy’s powerhouse vocals are a perfect match for Slash’s devil-may-care riffs – and it’s mesmerising to watch the legendary guitarist in full flow

A 2011 episode of South Park took playful aim at Slash, parodying the Guns N’ Roses guitarist as a mythical Dutch legend called Vunter Slaush with the ability to perform everywhere at once. Between shows in South Korea and the Philippines, Slash made an impromptu appearance at the Academy Awards, flanking Ryan Gosling with a honeyburst Les Paul guitar for a performance of I’m Just Ken from the Oscar-nominated Barbie. Wolfgang Van Halen – son of late guitar hero Eddie – also rubbed shoulders with Gosling in Hollywood, and it’s his band Mammoth WVH supporting Slash and co on this latest global trek.
