Review of Slash's show at the Palladium October 23. 2015

While the set list featured a handful of Guns N’ Roses favorites, this was clearly a different band on stage—one that seemed less dangerous and unpredictable but also more polished and professional. While decidedly introspective in his stage demeanor, Slash’s loud, chunky playing style rammed through the set list like a runaway freight train, leaving the rhythm section holding on for dear life. Unlike a Guns N’ Roses show, the crowd was along for the ride without fear that it might at any moment go off the rails or come to a screeching halt.

Slash is unpredictable in his timing and note selction, but never lost his way on Friday, even in the midst of a very extended jam that held the crowd like a “Free Bird” solo. Frontman Myles Kennedy, who also holds center stage for Mark Tremonti’s Alterbridge, delivered a solid performance that complimented rather than competed with the iconic top-hatted gunslinger. Newer songs like “World on Fire,” “Wicked Stone” and “The Dissident” were warmly received by the three-quarters-full venue. But predictably, heads shook hardest for “Sweet Child of Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle” and encore “Paradise City,” which culminated in two cannons blasting confetti amidst an arsenal of pulsing strobes to end the show on a high note.
