Slash's Snakepit - It's Five O'clock Somewhere (CD 1995)

I bought this CD because I'm a huge Guns N Roses fan. And I really enjoyed Velvet Revolver's Libertad. This CD was the first Snakepit project to be done, during the Guns N Roses era, with some of the original guns line up, and to be very honest, I loved it. The vocals done by Eric Dover, were very powerful, the rhythm guitars done by Gilby Clarke were fantastic. Matt Sorum on Drums (and I've always been a fan of Matt's) were well done. Dizzy Reed on Keyboards and of course Slash on guitars were outstanding. There isn't any reason on earth for the rock fans out there to try something different if they haven't already tried this to do so. It's not an aquired taste, it's definatey for the rock fans who particularly like their Rock n Roll. Not buying this album as far as I'm concerned would be a crime and for those who don't should be thrown into a snakepit for not doing so. I have written this review as a musician and someone who appreciates all walks of music (except dance because it's talentless and it sucks). Take my advice if you wish, but on your own head be it

This is one of the all time most own CD's, whatever your taste in music you have to have this one in your collection, Slash on lead guitar is as ever in top form, one of the best side projects any artists have ever accomplished, well, maybe level pegging with "Temple Of The Dog", that one's got something special about it. If you haven't already got it, GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

an alright album.. bit different to anything he (slash) had done before but when you come out of the shadow of a group as big as guns 'n' roses it must to be marked on anything but past glories. I do think that this album is worth a listen tho.

When you hear Slash plays bluesy riffs on this albumn, be sure they are very dark blues. This is not 'my woman left me and I'm so sad'. there is plenty more attitude & anger on this.
