Snakepit's vocalist Eric Dover

[Izzy]

Fuck people who say Rod is not an amazing vocalist.  If you don't like his style sure, but you have fucking cloth ears if you can't admit he has amazing talent.

People are quick to put Slash's vocalists down (and many of these people are doing it with Weiland too so I don't even take thier opinions as worthwhile anyway), just because they aren't Axl Rose.

Agree. Rod is an awesome singer, has a great and skilled voice. For me he's like the mixture of Robert Plant and Steven Tyler.

He has a fantastic voice and its a fantastic album, its as good as the the first album was bad.

And the ACDC singers

Five O'clock is a solid album... Rips shit over Snakepit 2 I'm afraid.
 
Eric Dover is a unique singer... Just like Axl. Don't be dismissing him as a shithouse singer because the cunt can do shit with his voice that noone else can. Slash made a fucking rad choice when he hired him.

Embarrassing lyrics? Get the fuck outta here.

I agree with u

[Mattgnr]

IMO 'Aint life grand' is the best of the two.

Serial killer - is beyond excellent

Aint life grand, mean bone and back to the moment are great.

The others, range from poor (Only 'alien') to the rest average - great.

What unique like rips off Rod Stewart?

Yeah, totally unique...

[starchild_666]

Eric Dover was a perfect Axl replacement... like it or not, but that's truth  
Speakin of album... yeah, it wasn't as good as GNR records, but it's great record!!! At least much better than second snakepit album... Rod really sucks ass!

I think its been out-of-print for a long time, but the Imperial Drag record is worth checking out if any of y'all ever come across it.  It was released in '96 and sounds like nothing else that was coming out at that time.  T. Rex meets '80s glam metal  meets '60s psychedelica.  The single "Boy Or a Girl" got some radio play at the time, as did the song "Spider."  The song "Playboy After Dark," in particular, is amazing.  WAAF here in Boston played them constantly, but I don't know how much airplay they got in other parts of the country.  About as far from "grunge" as it gets.  It's a shame this band didn't catch on, because in another era (or even today, considering the success of The Darkness), they would have been huge.

To all the people that like the first Snakepit album....

what the fuck do u see in that crap?

Its just BAD

I can't see how u can like it.....everything about it is poor. And the vocalist is embarrassing.

[AdZ]

Embarrassing lyrics? Get the fuck outta here.

"We got a band playin', the singer's
really fat
The cat is in the dryer
Who's the asshole who did that
Someone's in the backroom,
I think they're gettin' high
If they don't unlock the bathroom
I'll just have to go outside"

Or did you miss that?

Fuckin' great riffs and solos. Could have been the same class as Appetite if there is work from Axl and Duff on it. Well, the lyrics sometimes not too good (Doin' Fine, I hate everybody but you), but the other songs are amazing. % O'Clock is one of my Top10 favourite albums of all time, IMO it's much better than anything GN'R-related material, much better than TSI, better than Lies, and matches with the UYI albums.

I would really like to know the other 9 albums in your top ten... And I hope Spinal Tap's "Smell The Glove" is not included...

[MeanBone]

ok, here's my two cents on the subject,

first of all ALG is not that good. its an average cd with slash's solos. good musicians maybe but they're playing poor music.

on the other hand IFOS is an amazing cd, i didn't reallly like it that much when i bought it but every time i listen to it again i find it a very good cd. just straight up rock  n' roll riffs and licks, good lyrics ( not that meaningful in some cases, but that's actually good, cuz its just an easy sleazy rock n roll cd. i.e.: " he missed the pool by inches so i guess he won't be walking soon" i always laugh at that one)

i think gilby and slash alongside are amazing, and when i paid true attention to both guitars i was blowned away. the last song, back and forth again has one of the best slash's solos ever, and  the rest of the cd is so cool to listen to whether you're at home doing whatever or driving in your car. the bass is top of the line, but who could expect something else from Mike Inez? matt on drums and dizzy on keyboards... the way i see it, this is an all star line up, sort of

Eric Dover's voice is unique and i was also amazed he could play guitar as well. i just didn't know how good of a guitar player he was unitl i  saw him in concert in 2001 and was just amazed by his skills next to mister alice cooper. i have to say i didn't even recognize him cuz he looked really different and wasn't singing of course. he held Gibson Les Paul's thru the set and rocked like a crazy mother fucker on stage.

i really think eric is the best singer in both snakepit efforts and he is a great guitar player  who i was fortuned enough to experience live...

[phaseONE]

What about the solo in " back and forth again " i think its awesome!

And, why does everybody slate be the ball?
Personally i like the song, a song about up and leaving everything u love and own and start fresh, looking for " something " that may or may not be found in life.

The vocalist dover was the biggest let down in that record, too much high end screaming that " hurt the ears " so to speak, spoiled a lot of the songs.

[Top-Hatted One]

The solo in "Back & Forth Again" is right up there with the solos in Nov. Rain and Sweet Child O' Mine!

[Captain P?l]

Back and Forth again rocks!!!

i also think Be The Ball rocks! the drums are AMAZING!! when the song stop's and matt is doing the intro thing again and the song start full on is just amazing!! love it!

[Captain Obvious]

I can't stand this guy's voice. Talk about trying too hard. If all snakepit albums were instrumentals, they would be masterpieces. Dover successully stomps on any beautiful guitar work Slash put together with his full out tasteless groans.

[volcano62]

The only Snakepit song that is decent is Mean Bone.

[Mikkamakka]

Kinda funny, I really like Snakepit, but it's one of my least favourite songs.

[metallex78]

The only Snakepit song that is decent is Mean Bone.

You've gotta be kidding, Mean Bone is crap, what with the stupid rapping at the start and lame lyrics, it's just bad! But each to their own I guess! hehe

The best Snakepit songs I think are: Beggars, Dime Store Rock, Good To Be Alive, Shine, Serial Killer, Landslide and Rusted Heroes
