Saw Snakepit 3 times in the late 90's until 2001. Rod Jackson has a powerful voice with a great range, he can carry the note for almost a minute, its crazy. Hands down, this line-up was better than anything Velvet Revolver related (and I've seen VR 4 times). Maybe VR should just hire Rod, it will un-due and cleanse the weakness Weiland brought to Velvet Revolver
TyTrexo The band was on a much smaller label (Koch) at this point. I don't think they got much of a push from them. Things were changing fast. Napster was gaining steam. Different genres of music were getting more popular. Just a weird time for a bluesy rock band. By the end of the tour Slash got really sick, and this band was essentially 1 and done. They were great. Energy level off the charts! I saw them twice on that tour. Once in a club, Another time opening for AC/DC. Hope this sheds some light on that era.
The fact that Jerry Heller was their manager didn't help matters. Also, after the demise of SP, Slash referred to Rod Jackson, as an" Unmotivated junkie" A lot of hypocrisy in that statement alone. I was grateful to have seen them perform, live 5 times!
De lo más grande jamás compuesto e interpretado. Una pena que Slash no prefiera seguir en esta línea más que la que marca en la actualidad con sus discos en solitario con Miles Kennedy.
not too bad actually. i just discovered these guys, i'm not a huge fan when band's replace their lead singer but then again this is slash's project, but it rod actually sounds really good.
Fuckin killer Hard Rock the way it should be played! Great voice, it's got that feelgood aura that connects it with Appetite For Destruction but in a different way! \m/\m/
I bought it at the local warehouse for 2 bucks, YEARS AGO :P At first, I didn't like it, but now, I just freakin' love it!!!! Snakepit should be back together now that Scoot Weiland turns out to be the same big egotripper just like Axl.
I saw them live in S.F at Slims, man, I guess around 00,01. The band was really tight and the show kicked ass. I did wish one more Snakepit album was made. One more thing, the rhythm guitarist, I think his name is Kelly Kerry or kerrie Kelly, Damn, he must be playing lead for someone, he ripped it up at the show also.
Richtig guter Rock. Das Slash ein ums andere Mal einen aus dem Ärmel zaubert ist ja spätestens seit "Always on the Run" mit Lenny bekannt. Hier das Teil rockt mir echt das Hirn weg!!! Mehr davon... bitte lieber Slash
Por dios y todos los santos que existan en el cielo... SLASH ES UN FUCKING GENIO!!!! Que haces con un genio de esta grandeza? sentarse y escuchar gente!!! SENTARSE Y ESCUCHAR !!!
This song fucking rocks!!! Rod Jackson was a better fit for this band than Myles Kennedy..... Although I still like Myles!!! Jackson has the rawness for this kind of grind!!!!!!!
TributeToon talks about Axl being voted the 64th best singer of ALL time! He may be a top 20 FRONT MAN, but he's not even in the top 100 singers. With the right twist and turns of the knobs in the studio,the right person could even make TributeToon sound good. Have you seen Axl live? or I should say, Have you heard him live? And dont give me that crap about his singing style being HARD on his vocal cords. The problem is, he cant duplicate the vocal illusions that were created in the studio!
THis is great, Slash in top of his game, I always thought Rob Jackson and Slash made a great duo, too bad it's over. I hope they find a good singer for VR now, someone with a lot of charisma and voice power like this guy, and now badge like Rob and Scott.
What the hell are the rankings? Similarly, it's always subjective! I do not care at what point Axl and Slash are. I will listen, even if they did not place at all. For me they are just fucking great ...
Well Pukemagot812,you make a very articulated argument that I can see was well thought out. My point is-I love the original GNR. AXL was a contributor NOT the reason,for their greatness. He is a good frontman,NOT a very good singer! Post GNR has shown us that Axl needs them WAY more than they need him! The talent of GNR,CLEARLY no longer resides in GNR! I like Axl. As a character. he has charisma and a swagger that cant be taught. Unfortunately those traits hurt him more than help him.
@aryapradana86 ..dude...menurut gue jackson gak gt ngegrunge banget...tp style vokalnya soul banget...sementara weiland pure alternative...style mereka beda banget...tapi yah, apapun yg penting ngerock sudah jelas keduanya asik...
@TheWyldeSlash yeah, since myles declined. Rod sounds like he could pull that off, too. Still, Slash really needs to work with Myles more int he future too :P
I cant get enuff of the music genius that is TributeToon.He sent me this stinging rebuttal:"Axl was chosen the 64th best inger of all times of the 100's list that the Rolling Stones created. stop the yapping" WOW I didnt realize that THE ROLLING STONES were the nielsen's of the music industry HAHAHA! This top 100 list you are using as a guide to prove AXL's greatness has Greg Allman-70 Steve Perry-76 Mariah Carey-79 Stevie Nick's-98! If you want to run your mouth do your homework first!
don't know why this band gets slagged, both CD's rock. Heaviest of Slash's stuff too. Guitar to the max. I think people just didn't listen....Slash is slowing down live now though, much more animated here. Maybe its being totally sober, or just age?...seeing him next week .
This is simply one of the best rock songs I've ever heard... that riff just keeps rocking inside my head!!!! I love slash!!!! Nice voice too!
Fuck! This is the coolest stuff Slash has made so far! Rod Jackson was fuckin` amazing! Wish I could find a singer like that!!
!!!!!!

I loved Snakepit ''Rod Jackson Era" they had somethin' special... freaking record company screwed this band up..
What did the record company do?
In slash’s book he claims they just hung around him to be famous or some shit.

would love to see that era up close
I really love Rod Jackson's energy, I love both Snakepit lineups. They were an underrated band.
Rod had such a cool voice and really good stage presence.
Rod is awesome !!!
this band on stage, was one of my best hard rock concert ever seen
I just don't know WHY slash is not playing with this guy, THE BEST singer slash found in his career !!
Rod needs to get heard more
So much rock n roll, soul and motown in his voice. Love this!
Holy crap! i love the snakepit! THey need to get back together! with Rod though!
"Allegedly" Rod Jackson was booted because the label thought he sounded too "soul" for rock..He kicks so much ass if you ask me.
The fact that Jerry Heller was their manager didn't help matters. Also, after the demise of SP, Slash referred to Rod Jackson, as an" Unmotivated junkie" A lot of hypocrisy in that statement alone. I was grateful to have seen them perform, live 5 times!
Slash can always pull off an inspired solo. great.
this song is great!!! LETS GET HIIIIIIGGGGGGH NOW!!
This is ROCK N ROLL!
De lo más grande jamás compuesto e interpretado. Una pena que Slash no prefiera seguir en esta línea más que la que marca en la actualidad con sus discos en solitario con Miles Kennedy.
never listen to what anybody says abought music, nobody knows shit and this is fuckin awesome!!
its a pitty awesome fucking RnR like this hasn't been there lately
Genious song !! Awesome synergy !!!!
not too bad actually. i just discovered these guys, i'm not a huge fan when band's replace their lead singer but then again this is slash's project, but it rod actually sounds really good.
F'in great! Rod is brilliant!
So great! That's like Guns in the old days! What a shame that they split!
omg what a powerful rock voice
"Its 5 o clock somewhere" = MASTERPIECE ALBUM
great album, great performance
Rod is a really good front man. Miles above Eric.
grandioso slash....io l'ho visto il 12 dicembre 2000 a Milano!grande!
Fuckin killer Hard Rock the way it should be played! Great voice, it's got that feelgood aura that connects it with Appetite For Destruction but in a different way! \m/\m/

love this album!!! especially the title track!!!
great song, fantastic album
Imagine Axl putting his touches on this song and singing it... it would've been a gnr staple. Still, it's a killer song.. but just imagine...

In his prime I would put him at top 10.
You cant go wrong w/those 3.
The only reason Slash and Rod stopped being together was Rod's drug problem. Rod is clean now I think, so they should probably get back together.
I agree.
Rod Jackson new Velvet Revolver's frontman NOW!!
please
post more songs from this show
Cool Tune!
THis is great, Slash in top of his game, I always thought Rob Jackson and Slash made a great duo, too bad it's over. I hope they find a good singer for VR now, someone with a lot of charisma and voice power like this guy, and now badge like Rob and Scott.

Ain't life grand is one of the best hard rock records ever!!! Why couldn't VR sound like this??
this should be the new singer in velvet revolver
were on earth did u get urs on these videos?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? i neeed a copy of them! i cant find em anywhere!!
I really wish Slash would hire Rod for VR.
Eric Dover is such a badass singer. Whatever happened to that dude?
Slash is the guitar hero
This video is the best one!
Crazy Slash, totaly lazy... nice groove too
So CerealKiller...

robxx64 totally agree mate five o clock somewhere was shit hot
I think Rod's a great singer and Keri Kelli RAWKS!!
I like this song more than all Guns & Roses discography. xD
@aryapradana86 ..dude...menurut gue jackson gak gt ngegrunge banget...tp style vokalnya soul banget...sementara weiland pure alternative...style mereka beda banget...tapi yah, apapun yg penting ngerock sudah jelas keduanya asik...

@dwdrum1 He's in a band named Sextus
Why nothing official for this video??
what year is this
like 2000 or something
one of the fattest crunchiest overdrives I have ever heard.
best vocalist slash had since axl by far not myles not even scott weiland
@mounthydra What´s the sense of firing one junkie and bring in another one?
it wasent slashs day.... i miss the electricity in that peformance
fuck yeah
fuck yeah!!
Slash´s solos are WAY better in Snakepit than in VR, honestly, the last VR sucks
@TheWyldeSlash yeah, since myles declined. Rod sounds like he could pull that off, too. Still, Slash really needs to work with Myles more int he future too :P

@Hawkeye62158
Rod Jackson wasn't even on 5 o'clock....
That´s what you think.
I like Guns & Roses, well... Axl sucks hard. But i like this song much more than any GNR stuff.
where is that singer working now?? in what band
@TheKassie1987 I'm talking about Dover...
@Hawkeye62158
Oh okay cool, no I agree.
Snakepit obliterates Velvet Revolver.
@Hawkeye62158 Eric rocks!
make it 11

@odgeUK not gonna happen, they had a falling out that killed snakepit 2.0 maybe eric dover will sign up :D
this song is great...too bad i cant find a decent tab...
lol slash just keeps looking more and more like a younger person in Snakepit
