Rod Jackson is a real excellent motherfucker bastad singer. But he was so addicted, so that was the big problem. And Slash was a lot more sober back then and that was his contribution to getting Rod out of the band.
how can you not like this song ?! - Slash is AMAZING when it comes to music, and that singers voice makes me slobber !! I've never heard anything like it !
that's a kickass solo, when you think slash is going to end with those crazy bends, he just starts playing more and more, and then he finally puts an end for this fantastic solo
I really love rod's voice, but unfortunately this is basically the only time u ever really hear from him and Eric Dover was a underrated vocalist as well! Slash really can tell a good vocalist from the rest! I really wish he would bring back velvet or snakepit on the side!? can anyone tell me the deal with the is it only a reunion for this tour or is it permanent?
I think all the singers slash has worked with sound good. Some better than others, but that's just my opinion. A few factors. As humans age our bodies change. That's a given. Then you add drugs, stress, getting past our prime. When we put all these elements together. . . We're not going to sound like we're 25 for ever. Just saying.
Wow, this song just grabbed me, first time listen, and wow, I mean I've been GnR fan for years, I also like VR, but snakepit, I found them just today :)
I've always wished that this band could have made it big, and stayed together! It's very rare that you see a connection like this band had! Rod Jackson had one of the most incredible voices of all time, the rough in your face sound that rock definitely needs, not to mention that I've never heard another musician sound like him because his voice is just that dam unique! Myles is a good singer, but he is no where close to Rod and definitely the best singer of all time! Just look at the covers he done of Rod's not even close! Myles seems like he doesn't want to push himself or try different things!
He now sings for a band called Razorball. I actually have one of their songs on my Artwork Combo 2 video. You don't have to actually watch the video or anything, but just listen to the song. Rod is awesome.
Ken, eres el unico que enseña a cantar con el ejemplo, los demás hacen, ma ma ma, ney ney ney, gi, gi ,gi pero no veo que lo apliquen y que puedan cantar con potencia como tu lo haces. El rock corre por tus venas y con tu pasión lo puedes transmitir. Gracias por todo Ken
Man, all the stuff Slash has made from Slash's Snakepit to VR would've been great GN'R records but he does have a knack for knowing a great voice such as Rod Jackson in this video. Fucking hell Axl, you had to be such a hard ass, but that just gave us Snakepit and VR, jokes on you!
Slash's Snakepit was amazing and this was slash at his best. This is the kind of music slash wanted to do from the beginning, lucky he joined Guns tho since he made that band to the greatest of all times.
I completely agree. Rod Jackson is my all time favorite rock vocalist. Btw, if you haven't checked it out already, you should look into the current band he's with, Razorball. They even have a myspace page with a few of their songs.
@Stephenkahn1 it all depends if he's still a junkie or if he's kicked the habit. Slash doesn't get on with him anymore. But he has an awesome voice and it suits the music perfectly. Just a kick ass album from start to finish, one of my top three for sure.
@DbRarefactionCurve Cool man! Very cool! I want to hear some of that session work, because I love Rod's voice, it's so powerful! But would be awesome,if Rod join with VR because a strong voice just like as Rod's voice, would fit perfectly with what VR are looking for.. If you are a friend of him, can you tell me if he thought about this possibility?
You make good points. Guns appealed to the masses because of the whole package. It's mainstrem rock. I was into them before they broke big. Those early days of Appetite are my favorite.
Slash decided to start a temporary solo project called "Slash's Snakepit" (Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Dizzy Reed also participated to that). Snakepit released an album and went on tour in 1995. After that Slash returned to GNR to work on the new album but the relationship with Axl was not working anymore, so Slash officially announced he was leaving in 1996. Duff and Matt Sorum quickly followed. Gilby was out too.
They where couple of friends who messed around and made songs in a room at slash's house. Becouse this room was filled with a lot of snakes and such they called the room slash's snakepit. The name stucked and when they made a record they just used that name.
@pelotudio no by this time tommy was with his post-replacements band, Bash and Pop, most people don't even realize he was in the best band from the 80s .
im reading the book for the second time and i don't remember the contract being signed...i just remember he said that he left the band and refused to sign a contract and then Axl making a law suite about it and "winning" the name
you know i just realized the chorus to this song is really similar to velvet revolvers dirty little things chorus, only slash can get away with that without anyone actually noticing
Which of Slash's bands was/is your favorite! $@-&??,! If SS which line up? ?@#!!? I actually like all of his bands myself, I'll have to think on that for a second myself! &$@?!
@rocha93r Wauw, that's maybe the best option I heard so far! i don't see corey taylor as a proper fit, I love Myles Kennedy, but i don't really think he fits Rod would.
this was actually slash getting away from the GNR drama and pumping out his stress through rough and tough songs. It all started with him and a few friends just jamming. P.S. Slash looks like a clown
I love this shit!! Love the moves from Slash ( :52 ) , the Angus Young knockoff move from the Rythym guitarist, and the singers cross walk on the stage at the end. But really, I love the fucking riffs and sound to the song. This is what rock n' roll needs to be!!
I dont know why this group havent had the success they deserved its so fucking awsome so rock!! so great voice so great everything !!! much better than velvet revolver !! I want this guy on VR now the singer left...
I wonder what happened to Rod. he hasn't gotten another big gig since the Snakepit. Is he hard to work with? ego? drugs? prima donna? such a shame. Great voice and a good lyricist.
I agree. This was Slash's best band ever. We saw them open for AC/DC then went to see them a couple of week later at a little 2000-seat club called "pops" in east St Louis. Great show. Rod Jackson was incredible as a front man. Much better than the "velvet revolver" lead man Scott Weiland. I don't know if he sold out or what, but he should have stayed with this arrangement. It was top musicians doing what they love.
Answer this commet and tell me if they have more of these "rocksongs". Just heard this1 and it¨'s fking great.. The others I've heard are litlle softer :)
I honestly think that Snakepit it way better than Gnr because it's just pure rock, and axl took the band away from that sound totally! Pure raw RNR is definitely what was needed at that time when grunge was taking over, no wonder people say rock is dead! Every era there is only one a couple of bands that try to keep pure rock alive! Thank god for Stone Sour, Halestorm, etc. that are trying to keep it alive!
More like the Band was called Snakepit but they wanted Slashs name in it for the sales, also there were a band called ''snakepit'' before them ;D even if not with that great of a lineup ^^
The two Snakepit albums were just sideprojects for everyone involved. They didnt intend to stay in that lineup. But you are right, its a shame they didnt stay together. In my opinion two of the best rock albums in the 90s.
LYRICS: You're dissin' me, I never show it But you're always getting into my head, dismissin' me I let you do it but you're doin' it In front of your friends I'm not your doormat, I'm not the leader of a kick-you When you're down on crusade, I want no part of that I hear the rumors, goin' round that I'm not that man I'm tired of playin' dumb I'm tired of being pushed around And if you think that I'm goin' soft Here come some hard times I got one mean bone in my body I got one mean bone in my hand You are a parasite, you latched on And now I'm up to my neck in pain All we do is fight, you bitch and moan so much I think I need a hearing aid My love won't overcome The way you put me down And if you think that I'm goin' soft Here come some hard times I got one mean bone in my body I got one mean bone in my hand
One of Slash's best songs post GN'R.
whole project
Ain't Life Grand is a very under-rated record.
👌👌👌👌
I like ir a lot
Rod Jackson is a real
excellent motherfucker bastad singer. But he was so addicted, so that was the big problem. And Slash was a lot more sober back then and that was his contribution to getting Rod out of the band.
Facts.

Rod jackson has a powerful voice
underrated
I fuckin love it
Grit, power, and sass. Nuff said! ! !
Volvox Doesn't everybody?
\,,/
thank you gods for letting me see this in person. And a hand shake from Slash. it was in Hawaii.
What ever happened to Rod? That man was / probably still is PHENOMENAL!
He did a cool CD with 3 Of A Different Kind, look it up, Big SWede Records and he's still recording
how can you not like this song ?! - Slash is AMAZING when it comes to music, and that singers voice makes me slobber !! I've never heard anything like it !

wow slash, one of the best guitar players ever to walk on this planet keep rockin!!!

@@frankspikes4867 Yapp, look what happened with Axl. His howling high vocal range is no more.
one of the best songs off the album. in my opinion this album is the best of the 00's. listen to it all the time!
Rod jacksons voice is just amazing in this song, its so blusey :) love it! one of snakepits greatest songs, and slash is just a god
Wow, this song just grabbed me, first time listen, and wow, I mean I've been GnR fan for years, I also like VR, but snakepit, I found them just today :)
This is the most epic break up song ever! Love it!
We need this type of sound/music back!!!
Genial!
Todo lo que slash toca es una droga,
Está canción y el disco están de lujo

VERY reminiscent of Steve Marriot of Humble Pie...
He now sings for a band called Razorball. I actually have one of their songs on my Artwork Combo 2 video. You don't have to actually watch the video or anything, but just listen to the song. Rod is awesome.
Hey Baby... Best Snakepit song ever!
Snakepit best Band
Everything about slashs snakepit was amazing. Defo my favourite band slash has had. Serial Killer was my personal favourite
This fucking album kicks ass, and is one of the best rock albums of 2000's.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👎🏼
Spaccano tantissimo!!!Questa canzone è straordinaria!!!!
I am 12 years late, but totally agree with the description. Snakepit kicks a**!!! One of my all-time favorite songs.
Ken, eres el unico que enseña a cantar con el ejemplo, los demás hacen,
ma ma ma, ney ney ney, gi, gi ,gi pero no veo que lo apliquen y que puedan cantar con potencia como tu lo haces.
El rock corre por tus venas y con tu pasión lo puedes transmitir.
Gracias por todo Ken
just recently started to listen to the Snake Pit era of Slash's career. Man, I wish I'd found this earlier!! This singer is awesome!!
Wow I like this! I'll like any music that SlaSH produces with any band or singer cause I like his pure raw rock inspirations!
Man, all the stuff Slash has made from Slash's Snakepit to VR would've been great GN'R records but he does have a knack for knowing a great voice such as Rod Jackson in this video. Fucking hell Axl, you had to be such a hard ass, but that just gave us Snakepit and VR, jokes on you!

this song made my soul sing... Love it
Awsome power!
Love it!
Greetings from Poland:)
Muito foda essa música 🎸
@Stephenkahn1 it all depends if he's still a junkie or if he's kicked the habit. Slash doesn't get on with him anymore. But he has an awesome voice and it suits the music perfectly. Just a kick ass album from start to finish, one of my top three for sure.
@jonovips13, his new solo album was with a load of different singers but yeah Ozzy did a track with him called "Crucify The Dead"
@Danyanz I think it's the scene group who rips and releases the music videos
mi tema favoritoooo!!!
wow, con estas cosas uno se da cuenta de lo especial que es Slash, juntó a grandes musicos, ambos discos suenan zarpados!!!
@Jaimzz666 i thought he was the original singer of velet revolver cause didnt slash take him to slashes snakepit after he played in velvet revolver
@devanw121698 Rod Jackson is the lead singer. Slash is currently promoting his solo album called 'slash'. Check it out, its great.
Pure fuckin' rock n roll. Fuck!
@DbRarefactionCurve Cool man! Very cool! I want to hear some of that session work, because I love Rod's voice, it's so powerful! But would be awesome,if Rod join with VR because a strong voice just like as Rod's voice, would fit perfectly with what VR are looking for.. If you are a friend of him, can you tell me if he thought about this possibility?
This song is so good, it makes Velvet Revolver cry in shame. Thanks Slash for this song, I love it. Rock on bro.
@rogatoga It says After GnR and before Vr in desc
"After GnR and before VR there was Snakepit better than both his other bands IMO " - hell fuckin yeah!!!!
@rocha93r hell yes, whatever happened to him? This CD was so f'n awesome especially the song 'Serial Killer'
Where is gilby?? 2019 December
Yeah!I'm hear !🤗😉😘
And Gilby its not hear
I love slash`s kickass solo here and the voice of the vocal realy did a great job
SLASH!!!
@palitodlselva me estas cargando?? fuiste a ver a slash y no conocias el repertorio completo? hereje!
You make good points. Guns appealed to the masses because of the whole package. It's mainstrem rock. I was into them before they broke big.
Those early days of Appetite are my favorite.
If you like Rod's voice, look up Razorball (the band) on myspace. He's currently doing the vocals for their band.
Slash decided to start a temporary solo project called "Slash's Snakepit" (Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Dizzy Reed also participated to that). Snakepit released an album and went on tour in 1995.

Duff and Matt Sorum quickly followed. Gilby was out too.
Still the best song EVER !!
Rod Jacksonღ MmMmmmmm
just saying ヅ
I love this one too-but really love the instrumental "Watch This"--Turn it up to max volume-one of Slasher's best!!
They where couple of friends who messed around and made songs in a room at slash's house. Becouse this room was filled with a lot of snakes and such they called the room slash's snakepit. The name stucked and when they made a record they just used that name.
The way the riffing on the chorus is put together is tiiiiiiiiits!!!!
@plokplokersable do u have an link to he in 2009 concert? i cant find any please link it
@pelotudio no by this time tommy was with his post-replacements band, Bash and Pop, most people don't even realize he was in the best band from the 80s .
why is in the background the cover of "It's five o' clock somwehere"??
this song is on "Ain't Life grand", isn't it??
Oh, Rod Jackson... I would love to be in a band with him
Man! I burned this album! Why did they stop anyway? They were brilliant
Great song. Slash just wanted to rock-out and he did.
im reading the book for the second time and i don't remember the contract being signed...i just remember he said that he left the band and refused to sign a contract and then Axl making a law suite about it and "winning" the name
@Stephenkahn1 isaw ac/dc and snakepit was suppose to open up for them they canceled ac /dc was awesome as always but i,m pissed i,m feeling this!
@Danyanz Rage is the Australian music channel that this video was ripped from
you know i just realized the chorus to this song is really similar to velvet revolvers dirty little things chorus, only slash can get away with that without anyone actually noticing
Which of Slash's bands was/is your favorite! $@-&??,! If SS which line up? ?@#!!? I actually like all of his bands myself, I'll have to think on that for a second myself! &$@?!
Rod...without a doubt
Roxann Campbell I go with slash feat Myles and the conspirators
This line up of Snakepit followed by Myles & Co, then first line up of Snakepit, then Gn'R and VR last.
@rocha93r Wauw, that's maybe the best option I heard so far! i don't see corey taylor as a proper fit, I love Myles Kennedy, but i don't really think he fits Rod would.
Great song.....who is the singer....Rod Jackson????
Great riff
@Jaimzz666 i think he did for a while while slsh was guitarist for them.......
this was actually slash getting away from the GNR drama and pumping out his stress through rough and tough songs. It all started with him and a few friends just jamming.
P.S. Slash looks like a clown
His voice has such a great tonality. 👍
I love this shit!! Love the moves from Slash ( :52 ) , the Angus Young knockoff move from the Rythym guitarist, and the singers cross walk on the stage at the end. But really, I love the fucking riffs and sound to the song. This is what rock n' roll needs to be!!
I dont know why this group havent had the success they deserved its so fucking awsome so rock!! so great voice so great everything !!! much better than velvet revolver !! I want this guy on VR now the singer left...
Love the body mov at the END
LOVE IT, not only can we sing,
?axl? Great comedian too!
Kick that ass Axel
A real singer!
@MysteriousWonders they have on slash's tour it sounds awesome with myles, nothin can beat rod but myles does a great job
Just bought Slash's new solo album and I haven't stopped listening to it since!
LOL, I love that primitive CGI snake at the begining.
isso é uma porrada na orelha meu amigo.música do carai
amazing. The best thing slash has done
I wonder what happened to Rod. he hasn't gotten another big gig since the Snakepit. Is he hard to work with? ego? drugs? prima donna? such a shame. Great voice and a good lyricist.
I wish the Snakepit would put out another album..
And wow, is his voice ever amazing.

I think he's nowhere. Check it out on Wikipedia
❤❤❤❤❤❤ foda rifff

I like both but there's no way that Snakepit are better than the GN'R of Appetite & Illusions.
More like the Band was called Snakepit but they wanted Slashs name in it for the sales, also there were a band called ''snakepit'' before them ;D even if not with that great of a lineup ^^
omg i didnt said they was a bad band. i like them alot but i wondering if he is in a new band so i can look it up?
why cant i find this on itunes ? :(
Me da años de vida
The two Snakepit albums were just sideprojects for everyone involved. They didnt intend to stay in that lineup. But you are right, its a shame they didnt stay together. In my opinion two of the best rock albums in the 90s.
@rocha93r They got rid of one junkie, do you really think they´d hire another one?
nice voice
Excelente canción !!!! 01/08/2019
Dream gig lineup: Slash's Snakepit (this very lineup), The Wildhearts and Danko Jones. Would anybody else tag along?
I think that this singer or Chris Cornel (did I spell that right?) should be the singer for VR. That would sound really good. either of them
LYRICS:
You're dissin' me, I never show it
But you're always getting into my head, dismissin' me
I let you do it but you're doin' it
In front of your friends
I'm not your doormat, I'm not the leader of a kick-you
When you're down on crusade, I want no part of that
I hear the rumors, goin' round that I'm not that man
I'm tired of playin' dumb
I'm tired of being pushed around
And if you think that I'm goin' soft
Here come some hard times
I got one mean bone in my body
I got one mean bone in my hand
You are a parasite, you latched on
And now I'm up to my neck in pain
All we do is fight, you bitch and moan so much
I think I need a hearing aid
My love won't overcome
The way you put me down
And if you think that I'm goin' soft
Here come some hard times
I got one mean bone in my body
I got one mean bone in my hand
@Jaimzz666 his name is Rod Jackson
especially now during this god damn hiatus. we need more VR
have you all ever noticed? Everything slash does is good? the OLD GnR, velvet revolver, slashs snakepit...all great according to me
