Content

Musical style

The band has described the track as "the Stones playing metal", and features guitar riffs influenced by Michael Schenker and Slash of Guns N' Roses.

Emily Mackay of British cultural publication The Quietus proclaimed "Slash 'n' Burn" to be "cock-of-the-walk hair metal guitar strutting".

SputnikMusic adjudged the song "4 minutes of macho metal led by a joyously electric riff", in which "Bradfield takes perfect command of Wire and Edwards’ words".

Themes

The song's title takes its inspiration from U.S. Army policy during the Vietnam War.

Release

The single was released on 16 March 1992 by record label Columbia. It reached number 20 in the UK Singles Chart on 28 March 1992. B-sides "Motown Junk" and "Sorrow 16" were previously available on the "Motown Junk" single, released by the band's previous label.
