Description
For fans who've tracked the broken glass and ruby slipper journey of Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash since the release of Appetite for Destruction two days before his 22nd birthday 25 years ago this July, one can't help but be radioactive with enthusiasm. Apocalyptic Love is not just a new record by the storied musician with the black top hat and magical gift for riff, for Slash and his three co-conspirators; it is, indeed, destiny. And everyone involved is poised for the ride. The liberated feel of Apocalyptic Love is evident throughout the LP's 13 songs, as is the genuine chemistry between Slash and lead singer, Myles Kennedy. The communion of Slash and Myles does ring that destiny bell a bit. Few will argue that Slash has evolved with grassroots relevance and reverent pace over the past decade where he now rightfully belongs in the pantheon of axe mythology, having been selected by a Time Magazine survey as second only to Jimi Hendrix among electric guitarists, and in 2011, Slash was honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce who named him as an official selection to receive a star in 2012 on Hollywood's iconic Walk of Fame. Staying focused on your current musical project whilst in the midst of swelling adulation and swirling speculation is no easy feat. But somehow, Slash manages to keep his eye on the apocalyptic prize.
