Slash's first solo effort from when he left Guns N' Roses with the help of GNR bandmates drummer Matt Sorum and guitarist Gilby Clarke, with also bassist Mike Inez from Alice in Chains and former Jellyfish guitarist Eric Dover on lead vocals who impresses alot - This album is really gritty with some very good blues Rock - similar at times to GNR with Slash's distinctive guitar sound and riffs all the way through, Eric Dover provides some great screaming vocals sounding a bit like Aerosmith - from the opening suicidal track 'Neither Can I' to the minor hits 'Good To Be Alive' and 'Beggars & Hangers On' - some tracks do drag on and the album towards the end lacks originality and variety. Still, it's a enjoyable record and showcases slash's talents as one of the best guitarists around.

7.0/10

No idea he had a solo album out. Anyway, he looks like a cock, therefore.....................................shite.

I liked GnR 'til they became a covers band. Slash is incredibly overrated as a guitarist but he's kinda cool.

The album's shite! Velvet Revolver's album would have been better reviewing.
