Favorite slash work???

[oldgunsfan]

all his work on AFD....one of the best rock albums of all time....

[tomass74]

I've owned 5 O'Clock since it was released

it's a great album

I don't have the second snakepit though

I highly recommend it Neemo. His work on Shine is awesome.

Don't do it!!!!! hahaha.. Just kidding, but I really do hate that album.? There was a couple ok songs but Rod Jackson sucks pretty bad and the whole thing comes off very cheesy to me..

haha Ain't that always the way I still listen to the first snakepit album from time to time...I love every track on it. I really don't understand why people hate slash's post gnr stuff so much

Do you like 5 O'Clock Tomass74?

Yup, I think 5 O'Clock is pretty solid...

[jimmythegent]

The outro solo to Rocket Queen, the second slow solo in SCOM, Don't Damn Me an perhaps the ultimate, Estranged (especially the second last solo which is just perfection).

What a player, unparallaled IMO, there are too many great moments to name really 

[GNVR]

Best GNR Solo: November Rain (Final solo).
Best VR Solo: You Got No Right.  I also love his work on Loving the Alien.

[mikegiuliana]

His sound on neither can I is great, killer tune, very bluesy

listen people rip slash because it's about sides these days.. Snakepit was a great album 5oclock... Slash ripps it up, he's bluesy the songs flow... Wether you like dover is different, we are strictly talking slash..

Snakepit didn't sell 5 million so I doubt everyone that bashes it owns it, plus if you hate slash that much why buy his album.. it's alot of bandwagon hating

Fields Of Joy - Lenny Kravitz

Damn straight, he fucking rips that solo!

I think Slash wrote that for GnR but gave it to Kravitz after a squabble

My bad, I don't think Slash played on Fields of Joy.... I was thinking of Always on the Run

Audio: N/A

Single: No
Video: No

Written by: "Always On The Run" was written by Slash and Lenny Kravitz. Slash wrote the music to it, while Lenny wrote the lyrics.
Written in: "Always On The Run" was written before 1991.

Performed live: "Always On The Run" was played live by GnR and Lenny Kravitz on June 6th, 1992, in Paris, France.

Additional Info: "Always On The Run" was originally written for GnR, but since Steven Adler couldn't do the drumming, Slash did it with Lenny Kravitz instead.

In Their Own Words:

Slash: "Mama Said" was a song that I originally wrote with Guns in mind but Guns was not the band for it, and Lenny [Kravitz] heard it and went 'Whoa!' And there it went.

Slash: That was just such a spontaneous fuckin' thing. It was a song, a riff that I originally wrote. That 'Mama Said' song was a riff that I was playing hanging around with Lenny, talking about how we went to high school together. I played him that, and he called me up three months later: 'Let's go to Hoboken and do that track.' 'You serious?' So we went and did that together, and that was fun. We did it in this funky place on a Sunday in Hoboken, off license, no booze, nothing. Went out there and smoked a hell of a lot of cigarettes.

He plays on Fields Of Joy too..... I think there are two versions on teh album if I recall.. Slash plays on one of em...

[oldgunsfan]

^^I think you're right, but didn't co-write fields of joy

[monkeychow]

^^I think you're right, but didn't co-write fields of joy

Yep that's right I think.

The solo in "fields of joy" is definately him..you can tell....and it even says its him in the album cover from memory too.

Damn straight, he fucking rips that solo!

Slash did an interview with Sydney radio station Triple M in 1995 during the promo tour for Snakepit and he said that when he presented the riff to Axl, Axl thought it was "too funky" and didn't suit GN'R, so he later played it for Lenny who loved it and wanted to work it into a song.

Nope, that wasn't "Fields Of Joy" that was "Always On The Run"..... I think it was Slash that thought it was too funky for Gn'R.. Not sure Axl had anything to do with that.

Yeah, sorry, I meant Always On The Run.

"Serial Killer" has to be his most technically proficient work.

Agreed - Serial Killer is an awesome song!?

I really enjoy both Snakepit albums (especially the second album).? ?It's Five O'Clock Somewhere is good, and for a long time, I thought it was far superior to Ain't Life Grand.? After listening to the second album for awhile, it really grew on me.? There's some great guitar work on it!

Although Slash's GNR riffs are the best imo, the Snakepit albums are seriously underrated.?
