BadApples87 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 https://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-snakepit-its-five-oclock-somewhere/ Slash's Snakepit released It's Five O' Clock Somewhere, 25 years ago today. GNR was falling apart and Slash was on his way out the door. I think this is still a really good record. Would have been interesting to see some of the material on a GNR album, but obviously Axl was in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMAC20 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 In the rock mags around during that time -,there was mention of several singers - The cat from raging slab and others 1 was Slash was rehearsing with a actor from “ Children of the Corn “ and was the leader - Metal Edge - Still have no idea who that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way I felt when listening to the album first. It took me years to like Ain't Life Grand as well. His two best albums outside of Guns.

I listened to it for the first time about a year ago, and didn't like it. Maybe I should give it another shot. I really liked his 2008 solo album, would have loved to hear something like that with Axl on it. I have not really liked his subsequent work after that. Loved Velvet Revolver.

Ha! thats funny cause it also happened to me with aint life grand BUT i still cant enjoy it... maybe if i keep trying for some more years hahahahaha, maybe i should give it a try today i am pretty sure thats because of rod jacksons voice i tried a lot of times to listen to that album and i can tell that there are cool things going on BUT i cant stand rods voice same for myles i would absolutely LOVE to have instrumental versions of everything slash ever recorded with rod and myles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Velvet Revolver. yeah i guess you should, its worthy, thats probably the album where slash sound more bluesy like he did on GNR i like that 2008 solo album too, some very good songs on it, good singers i am a bit divided about axl singing it. if you are talking GNR Axl, i am all for it (my appreciation for axl and gnr is so big that i think that back then in the early 90s george w bush should have declared axl and guns n roses as "national american treasures" and should have asked them to record as many songs as possible in order to provide good music for the american people and for the world hahahahaha) but if you are talking after'GNR axl then i just dont know, can you see him doing any good to those slash 2008 songs by singing the way he did on his album with that voice and that delivery?

Axl hasn't left GN'R since the band was created. He still has it, in the studio especially. Angel Down, and on some of the leaked tracks, and on CD. His cleaner singing was by choice. I like all of his styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rasp sounds forced, today anyways. The This I Love remix where he is 100% rasp sounds awful to me, just like senseless yelling in that voice as opposed to his more natural range. Songs like Hardschool, The Blues, and Scraped really show a lot of his range. I suppose in the end, different strokes for different folks. The Rapid Fire CD which was recorded years before AFD also has Axl singing cleanly in some songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
