Slash's Snakepit -
After Guns N' Roses Slash needed somewhere to exercise his musical talent, so after doing live shows he came up with Slash's Snakepit to make an album. "Its Five O'Clock Somewhere" was produced, a great selection of hard and fast rock tracks, with, as expected, great guitar.
Into 2000 and a new Snakepit lineup was created. "Ain't Life Grand" was released, and the Snakepit went on tour. Ain't Life Grand was possibly one of the best rock albums of 2000, combining Slash's great guitar with an excellent band, each member highly talented.
Touring a new guitarist came in: Keri Kelli, Keri made a great addition to the band (to replace Ryan Roxie), live they put on a great show, and have been touring/supporting AC/DC.
Slash, as always is a pleasure to watch, and a Snakepit show is well worth going to.
If you're looking for great Rock N' Roll, some decent guitar, and good music then listen to the Snakepit.
Advantages: easy to listen to, great guitar riffs Disadvantages: None!
...rocky album, serial killer and ain't life grand are the best tracks, came across slash's snake pit due to being a massive Slash fan and trying to find bands with slash in and loved them, they are unlike any other band i've ever heard, a definate listen for anyone who is a fan of GnR and Velvet Revolver, the lead singer has a great gravelly voice which really suits the rock and jazzy style of this album, absolutely love it although its really hard ...

The Forum is a shopping centre in the middle of Helsinki. It's only a few hundred metres from another shopping centre, Kammpi, which also houses the bus station and a metro stop. You'd think that two large shopping centres might struggle so close together, but both seem to be thriving.
The Forum is built on several floors and has what you'd expect of a shopping centre: a lot of shops. Most of them are clothes shops, generally aiming at the teenage/early ... ...in that respect. Wandering round, you'll see a few shops with familiar names. I spotted a H&M in there and the inevitable McDonalds. There are cafes and food shops as well. I had a very nice (only slightly expensive) sandwich from the Fazer café. There is plenty of choice of what to eat, whether you want a stylish sandwich, a quick bite or a burger and chips from Hesburger (you'll see this one even more often than McDonalds!). It's not all clothes ...

Slash returned in 2000 with the latest incarnation of the band known as Slash's Snakepit and the album "Ain'tLifeGrand". Following from the great "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" - A side project that Slash undertook whilst unsure of his Guns N' Roses career - "Ain'tLifeGrand" develops the late 80's rock sound with a modern twist. Slash has completely changed the linup of the Snakepit band. Rather than create a band that solely showcases Slash's incredible talent for playing the guitar the band is an assembly of good musicians - Each member as much a part of the group as Slash.

Album Notes
Slash's Snakepit: Slash (guitar); Rod Jackson (vocals); Ryan Roxie (guitar); Johnny Griparic (bass); Matt Laug (drums). Additional personnel: Raya Beam (rap vocals); Jack Douglas (sitar); Jimmy "Z" Zavala (harmonica, saxophone); Lee Thornburg (trumpet); Teddy Andreadis (keyboards); Collin Douglas (percussion); Brian Hargroove (programming, samples); Mars Lazar, Vincent Lorusso (programming); Nishaun Ruiz, Alex Munoz, Nadine Ruiz, Layal Ghosen, Joanna Schumann, Vanessa Schumann (background vocals). Recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Hollywood, California and Snakepit Studios, Beverly Hills, California. By the time the millennium rolled around, fans had spent nearly a decade waiting for the new Guns 'N Roses record, while one of the band's original guitarists linked up with fellow Gunners Gilby Clarke and Matt Sorum in 1995 to release a record under the moniker Slash's Snakepit. Five years later, these famous names were jettisoned in favor of relative unknowns. The resulting album, AIN'T LIFE GRAND, found the top-hatted axe-man going from creating what might have been the next G'N'R record to conjuring up some fine hard rock reminiscent of vintage Kiss and Aerosmith. (Hiring the latter's long-time '70s producer Jack Douglas didn't hurt in achieving this goal). Slash's new frontman Rod Jackson possesses a raspy howl veering between Paul Stanley's sinister delivery (the creepy "Serial Killer") and Lenny Kravitz's soulful pleading (the hook-laden power-ballad "Back to the Moment"). Throughout, the guitarist's distinctive riffing defines AIN'T LIFE GRAND, whether on the swirling stomp of "Shine" or the hard-hitting boogie of "Been There Lately." The slinky title track also pleasantly surprises, thanks to a sultry marriage of saucy back-up singers, wailing sax, and rollicking piano.
