Here are some customer reviews of
It's Five O'Clock Somewhere
: I guess if I didn't know anything about music or guitar playing I might like this. But seeing as how I'm not a complete ignoramous I know that Slash is a hack. His playing has no emotion, like Hendrix or Clapton, it's all machismo, and that is why he will be remembered as a bloated has-been.
Great stuff ... borrows styles from Aerosmith, GNR, Metallica and Twisted Sister, with the harmonious vocals of AC/DC meeting Cinderella(well ... he tries!) If you like your music with a heavier and moodier bent to it than the original GNR albums, you could do a lot worse than taking Slash home!
I have embarrassed myself by buying this disc. I must now destroy it
This album shows the better side of Slash and some of the ex-Guns N' Roses crew. I loved every second of it, especially songs like "Back and Forth Again" and "Lower".
It's hard to decide which is worse, the songs or the playing. While the songs are pretty terrible, the guitar playing is atrocious. Slash was kept in check when he was in Guns, but here he's given free reign, and somebody told him he could play the guitar. He should look at Axl and how Axl has stayed out of the limelight and he should do the same. Axl was the talent.
