Eight original musicians from bands such as Guns n Roses, Def Leppard, Velvet Revolver, The Cult, Deep Purple, Collective Soul and now Alter Bridge, will perform together as Kings of Chaos in South Africa, with renowned guitarist Slash performing with the group for the very first time. Myles Kennedy was, for the lon- gest time, music’s best kept secret. Aside from being one of the best vo- calists in music, he is also renowned as a guitarist and songwriter. He is best known for his work in the acclaimed rock band Alter Bridge, as well as being the lead vocalist in Slash’s solo project, ‘Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators’. When Guns n Roses were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, Myles Kennedy was chosen as the vocalist to front the band in the live performance on the night. Slash is considered one of the greatest rock guitar players of all time and his mastery of the guitar is evidenced in his signature riffs on Guns n Roses’ rock anthems like Percy Sledge Myles Kennedy ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ and ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.
