Legendary [ex] Guns N' Roses guitarist seems to prove that a lot of what used to go on in the studio and rehearsal room of the ever popular hard rock band he was a very big part of. The notorious "I Hate Everybody But You" intro is pure Guns as far as the guitar part is concerned. Slash was considered one of the most famous guitar players of the era and whoever was talking, was not joking. After the split with the band, he wasn't as easy to replace as Axl Rose originally thought (and hoped) - don't know how many of you think that Guns N' Roses was ever the same after the so called "Buckethead" took over the role of the lead guitars. Not me, that's for sure - image is also a key point in being a member of a star-band. Anyway, there was a solo record released, which bares the name of "It's Five O' Clock Somewhere" and it is, all in all, a kick-ass rock n' roll album. Well worth having, listening and loving. Pure hard rock sound all over the record, great vocals, strong guitars, strong everything. One thing that bothers me is the fact that Slash seems to have had taken over the production process entirely, not really allowing others to have their input in what was to be the finished record. Everything is so typical, that it was no surprise to me, when I've first listened to the songs, that this is someone who's been playing with Guns N' Roses for a long time. I was expecting to hear some kind of experimentation, some kind of music that I wasn't used to hear from him. Not much more to add, I think. It's just a small point, that I thought was worth mentioning.
