The Slash Thread

He sounRAB more keen to Brad Whitford to me.

And criticizing Slash for not changing his style is pretty durab, neither has Chuck Berry or Angus Young or just about any other guitarist that just plays rock n roll, and thats what he does, he plays f*cking rock n roll, what are you expecting? Jazz fusion solos or neo classical acoustic guitar?
 
Buckethead is also great.... however Slash has more musical accomplishments.. you know.. he made his name because of what he's done musically.

Buckethead's a great guitarist too.. their styles are a bit different.. can't completely compare the two..
 
an avatar i made in honor of slash, just for this thread =P (or is it?)

in all honesty i think his goldtop is a little chiche'd. i mean... good try, but a billion other people have goldtops. how about a red mettalic paul with a white line going through the skinny part. hell yeah.
 
I think my post feels a little weird and out of context now that its been moved here and not in the original thread, but whatever.



Generally, if a single person plays the guitar, that makes one guitarist. For an example of this phenomenon, you may want to look into the two men we've been discussing - but not simultaneously, as that would make two guitarists.



Summing what up? There was next to no actual content in that post except that, if I read your near stream of consciousness rarabling correctly, you think that because he wears a mask and has the whole act to him this somehow makes him a worse guitarist because he doesn't have "personality" or something, which is much more childish than anything I've said.

If you think technical ability is all Buckethead has, I have very strong doubts you've listened to more than a few songs by him on Youtube or wherever.
 
If Slash didn't have the top hat, hair, glasses, he wouldn't be near as cool or idolized. He would have just been another great guitar player. Its his charisma and get-up that makes him so popular and well known.
 
I never thought Slash was any better of a guitarist than the guitarists in other banRAB of his time. I liked early GnR, but for the whole sound and not specifically for him. He's nothing special to me.
