It's Five O'Clock Somewhere is the debut studio album by American hard rock band Slash's Snakepit, released in February 1995. The album was a moderate commercial success, reaching number 70 on the American Billboard 200 album chart and selling over a million copies worldwide.[6] The songs "Beggars & Hangers-On" and "Good to Be Alive" were released as singles and promo videos were made for each track.
The album was recorded as Guns N' Roses, Saul "Slash" Hudson's main group at the time, were struggling to come to agreement on musical style on their next album. Slash's Guns N' Roses bandmates Matt Sorum, Dizzy Reed, Gilby Clarke as well as associate Teddy Andreadis all contributed to the album. Sorum stated that it "could have been a Guns N' Roses album, but [lead singer] Axl [Rose] didn't think it was good enough".[7]
The album cover artwork has been released by ConArt, a graphic company owned by Slash's brother, the art direction was done by Tony Hudson, Slash, and Kevin Reagan and the photos were done by Gene Kirkland and Robert John.
"Be the Ball" was written by Slash upon the request of Data East, a company who sells pin ball machines.
The band also worked on three more songs that have neither been released nor been played live.[8]
