Slash
\nLiving the Dream
\n<\/em>(Snakepit\/Roadrunner records)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Slash does not need to rely on a reunion with Guns n\u2019 Roses to be one of the best guitarists to ever live; he\u2019s doing just fine on his own. In his third collaboration with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, he proves once again that his rock songs are nothing shy of intense, knee-jiggling, auditory poetry that will pump listeners full of energy.<\/p>\n

The opening bars of \u201cThe Call of the Wild\u201d roped me in in such a way that I found myself frequently skipping back just to hear them again. Things slow down a bit with \u201cLost Inside the Girl\u201d; \u201cSugar Cane\u201d is blissful heaviness; \u201cThe Great Pretender\u201d carries a methodical weight.<\/p>\n

The new addition of Frank Sidoris’ rhythm guitar work is a nice touch for continuity, allowing Slash to focus on the riffs that are the pulse of the legendary rocker.<\/p>\n

This album is tight, decisive, and more together than the group\u2019s last two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
