Every SLASH fan owns at least one copy of It's Five O'Clock Somewhere. But
sometimes at work or school, you need the lyrics! If you had your cd
booklet, you'd have the lyrics, but when someone asks you at a club...hey,
did SLASH write any of those Snakepit songs by himself?....it's hard to
answer "Be The Ball" unless you're a master of SLASH trivia. Slam your
laptop on the table, plug in and find the SLASH page! All the lyrics to
It's Five O'Clock Somewhere are right here. Enjoy!
Ever since SLASH's Snakepit finished its tour in 1995, fans have
been asking for another tour. SLASH was just having fun with Snakepit,
waiting for GNR to get rolling again. But when SLASH and Axl Rose reached
the point where they could not agree on the musical direction of the next
album, that was when SLASH started SLASH's Blues Ball, a cover band. He
decided to get SLASH's Snakepit together with an entirely new group of guys.
There's SLASH on lead guitar, Ryan Roxie on rhythm guitar, Matt Laug on
drums, Rod Jackson on lead vocals, and Johnny Griparik on bass. The tour
is beginning for the public in February 1999. Get out and see them!

At one time SLASH characterized himself as very shy. If you see him being
interviewed in 1988 or so, his hair is over his face and he looks at the
floor. How times have changed! SLASH can be seen on TV, in movies and on
videos - and you don't get to do that if the audience can't see your face!
SLASH seems right at home in front of the camera, and he really does a very
good job! If you want to see a list of SLASH appearances in movies, TV and
on video, just

At the end of October 1996, SLASH resigned from Guns N'Roses.
The outcry from his own fans and GNR fans has ranged from
shock to sadness. In a bitter dispute with Axl Rose over the
musical direction of the band, SLASH has chosen to go his own way.

SLASH formed his own cover band called SLASH's Blues Ball to keep his hand
in while waiting for something more permanent to take his interest. The band
played clubs and did short tours of the East and West Coasts as well
as some outlying places like
Nevada, Texas, a gig in Louisiana, and a short mid-west tour.
The band continued as a one-off from time to time while SLASH got ready
to let the new Snakepit out of its basket. To read about SLASH's Blues Ball, check out the tour schedule
and SLASH's future plans, CLICK ON THE SLASH GUITAR SOLO BOOK!
