Lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses; inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 with GN’R; signature Gibson Les Paul tone; solo debut featured guests such as Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Iggy Pop, and Myles Kennedy; later formed a stable lineup with The Conspirators; notable track “Anastasia.”

Three positive reviews focus on Slash’s 2010 solo debut—packed with star guests—and the fiery World on Fire with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. Standout cuts cited include By the Sword, Doctor Alibi, We’re All Gonna Die, Back From Cali, and Starlight. World on Fire earns praise for crisp production, vintage hard-rock vibe, and consistency over 17 tracks. Overall sentiment: Slash reasserts his songwriting and riff power beyond Guns N’ Roses.
