The title track’s single cover released earlier in the year.

Slash is one of rock’s most well known musicians. Known by his trademark top hat, sunglasses and Gibson Les Paul, Slash made a name for himself in 80's rock giants Guns N’ Roses.

After leaving GN’R in the 90's, Slash formed Slash’s Blues Ball, Velvet Revolver, Snakepit and many other bands.

Slash is obviously a very busy man. He is constantly playing with someone, and always adding to his already outstanding legacy. There is not one rock guitar player out there today, who can say that Slash never influenced him.

World on Fire is the latest release from Slash’s new band, following Apocalyptic Love. I don’t count the album ‘Slash’ because there was so many singers.

All of these albums are really great to be honest. They are upfront rock n’ roll records, that show a band with a true love and a passion for what they do.

On this album, the driving uptemo rocker World on Fire, to the modern sounding Shadow Life, to the GN’R sounding Automatic Overdrive. Those are just the first three tracks, so I don’t wanna spoil it too much for you.

Go out any buy this record when it comes out….

10/10

Live.
