Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators Bring Precision, Power, and Guitar Fire to the Ryman

Aug 6

Ryman Auditorium — Nashville, TN | August 6, 2019

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators delivered a muscular, tightly executed performance at the Ryman Auditorium on August 6, 2019, marrying modern hard rock precision with classic guitar hero authority. In a venue known for clarity and restraint, the band leaned into dynamics and control, allowing every riff and solo to land with impact.

Slash’s guitar work was the clear focal point—fluid, expressive, and effortlessly commanding. His solos balanced melody and fire, favoring phrasing over excess speed. Myles Kennedy’s vocals were powerful and controlled, cutting cleanly through the mix while anchoring the songs with confidence and range. Together, they drove the performance with authority rather than spectacle.

Musically, the band was locked in and disciplined. The rhythm section stayed tight and propulsive, giving the songs weight without clutter. Transitions were smooth and purposeful, keeping momentum steady throughout the set. The Ryman’s acoustics elevated the performance, giving space to both quieter passages and explosive peaks.

The pacing felt deliberate and assured, allowing songs to breathe while maintaining consistent intensity. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, the performance emphasized strong songwriting and execution, reinforcing the band’s identity as a modern hard rock unit with classic sensibilities.

This Ryman performance captured Slash and Myles Kennedy at full strength—precise, powerful, and fully aligned behind songs built to showcase musicianship without excess.
