Slash's Snakepit

The Profile

Slash’s Snakepit is a hard rock/blues rock band formed by Slash during downtime and tensions in Guns N’ Roses. The project featured collaborators including Eric Dover, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke, and contributions from Duff McKagan and others. They released two studio albums: It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere (1995) and Ain’t Life Grand (2000).

Known: US hard/blues rock outfit led by Slash; active 1994–1996 and 1998–2001; released two albums (1995, 2000); members and production details referenced in DeBaser reviews and widely documented public sources.

Readers paint Slash’s Snakepit as straight-up hard rock with a bluesy streak, not a Guns N’ Roses clone. Eric Dover’s vocals and Slash’s riffs earn praise, as does the production on It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere. Critiques focus on a lack of novelty and a few weaker tracks. Overall verdict: enjoyable genre fare with flashes of inspiration.
