[Butch Français]

well Ive really only heard the Snakepit albums and Neurotic Outsiders, though Im trying to get a hold of Beautiful Disease cos I hear it's supposed to be really good.
right now I rank them:

Neurotic Outsiders
Ain't Life Grand
It's Five O' Clock Somewhere

I like all the albums really.

[tomass74]

I'll just list the ones that I know

1)It's 5 O'clock somwhere - Damn Good
2)Believe In Me - Good
3)Neurotic Outsiders - Good




4)Ain't Life Grand... terrible

[Bridge]

I've only heard Slash's and Duff's.

 the first Duff record blew, despite all those cameo performances by Slash, the guys from Skid Row, etc.  Beautiful Disease was good though, I have a CDR of that.

I didn't like Neurotic Outsiders or Loaded either.

The first Snakepit record was crap.  A few good guitar riffs but that's it.  Ain't Life Grand was great musically, Slash had some incredible guitar riffs.  I think they're better than the riffs on Contraband.  but Rod Jackson is one of the worst singers ever so that compromised it.

[RichardNixon]

Tomass- How come you don't like ALG?

[metallex78]

Beautiful Disease and Neurotic Outsiders are easily the best of the bunch, followed by the first Snakepit. I haven't heard Hollywood Zen or 12 Bar Blues, so I can't say about them, but the rest aren't very good.

[lynn1961]

Ain't Life Grand.  And I thought Rod Jackson was great!

[Mikkamakka]

1. It's Five 'O Clock Somewhere A+
2. Ain't Life Grand                       A

The rest is in the same league (C, C+, B-), although I used to like Believe in me. The worst is the Neurotic album, I really don't like that (D).

(Haven't heard 12 Bar Blues.)
 

[makane]

Ain't life grand and It's five 'o clock somewhere, others don't come even close.

[metallex78]

The worst is the Neurotic album, I really don't like that (D).

The Neurotic Outsiders album is awesome, I don't know how you can't like it. It's great punk rock!

[Captain P?l]

the funny thing is duff was the/one of the main man of over half of those bands :p


ill just rank'em like this:
duff solo incl. loaded
neurotic outsiders
10min warning
slash's stuff


havent heard the rest..

Tomass- How come you don't like ALG?

There were few good tunes on there but Rod Jackson killed it for me.. He had some horrible cheesy lyrics on there and I hated his voice and the way he sang.. He was a total butt rocker.. I had real high hopes for that record too....

[RichardNixon]

Ok, what is "butt-rock" because I've heard that phrase before.

I'd characterize it as lyrically cheezy, weepy guitars with a touch of bad keys or synth for good measure...

[jameslofton29]

Definitely Duff's 'Believe in Me'. The best solo album by a GNR member.

[RichardNixon]

Ok, what is "butt-rock" because I've heard that phrase before.

I'd characterize it as lyrically cheezy, weepy guitars with a touch of bad keys or synth for good measure...

As in:
Loverboy
Sammy Hagar
Styx
Journey

I associate it more with late 80s/'90 pre grunge stuff though.  The usual suspects, GNR had some serious butt rock moments.  More of a sign of the times than the quality of the material...

[Izzy]

Ain't life grand - the rest are?

[Izzy]

GNR had some serious butt rock moments.?

Classic, ain't u the guy who only likes 3 songs intotal from UYI 1 and 2 and yet comes to a GNR board every day?

Its all good
