5.0 out of 5 stars Like Hard Rock But Don't Have This Album? Get it!, August 16, 2002
It's rare that I can listen to an album the first time and instantly like it. "Ain't Life Grand" is one of those CDs. I found myself hitting the replay button on the first three songs alone!

The previous reviewers are correct, there is definitly an Aerosmith/Zeppelin groove on the album, but with Slash's unmistakable guitar work, it's got a style all its own. "Been There Lately," "Just Like Anything," and "Shine" are steller songs that stick with you long after you're done listening.

This has got to be one of the best releases of 2000-2001 in the Hard Rock genre. Why radio stations that play Classic Rock aren't picking up on this, I don't know. But why let them decide what you listen to anyway? They're missing out on a good thing -- don't let this happen to you.

If you're tired of manufactured teen pop or tired replayed Classic Rock tracks, give this album a try. It has just about every element you could want. If you're a Guns 'n' Roses fan, this is an example of the great material they could have been putting out had they not fallen apart.

It's good -- really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unknown Gem, March 10, 2002
By Daniel Maltzman (Arlington, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is actually one of my most favorite albums of all time. The band is tight and has real chemistry. The singer, Rod Jackson, has a deep, powerful voice. Slash's solos are killer. Unlike Snakepit '95, the mood of this CD is upbeat. Fans of 70's-80's hard rock should really dig this album, it has a Zeppelin/Aerosmith feel to it. It's a real shame that not too many people have heard it. It's better than just about every other mainstream rock album that came out in 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Kick A** Rock N' Roll!, March 6, 2002
By Christopher Savage (Burlington, VT United States) - See all my reviews
Slash is back with a vengence! This album is 100% Rock N' Roll. It has that classic Slash feel that any GN'R fan will love. From the first track to the end Slash rips it up. My personal faves are "Shine", "Just Like Anything" and "Serial Killer" This album just oozes the 80's, which is a good thing! So if you're into guitar driven music that just kicks a** then grab yourself a case of your favorite brew and this album and hold on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
This is a very good CD. Reminds me of early GNR. Killer riffs, good hooks and vocals. In my opinoin it is much better then Five O'clock Somewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars With music this good, lack of originality is accepted
A good coctail of hard rock riff, bluesy rythm and amazing, traditional vocals, this album is not about creating original sound, just writing good old rock & roll. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars I liked It's 5 o'clock somewhere, but this is horrible.....
G'n'R is my favorite band of all time, so when I heard Slash was coming out with a solo project I was thrilled. 5 O'clock was a disappointment, but still not bad. Read more
