Unfortunatly that is very true!! It took buckhead and a whole host of guitarists to do what it took just Slash and Mckagen with just two guitars to do.

When it comes to fame, yes. Actual talent, Slash is nowhere near Buckethead's level.

i don't like those dudes like buckethead and morello. they're "all effects". buckethead strums a chord and then taps the kill switch for a while. not to say i could do it, but it's gay. i guess you could say the same about page and his bow playing, but still.

What was good about that? I thought it was sloppy and boring as hell. Maybe if he wasn't drunk and high at the time it would've sounded better.

lol, slash always played sloppy.

Yeah but thats who he is.I'll take sloppy with feelings over a technical shredder with with no feel any day of the week.

Gotta agree with Clavin on this one.

I thought the same about Buckethead for the longest time, until I finally started listening. Don't get fooled by the schtick and his technical skills. He has tons of feeling and emotion when he plays.

i have no doubt that buckethead's a great guitar player as far as guitar players go. i'm just saying he'll never have a "sweet child of mine".

My bad. lol

Seriously, Slash was my first guitar idol. I first picked up the guitar in '91 because of him. As I progressed, I got into Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie (the usual virtuosos). Didn't give Buckethead a minute of my attention as I thought he was all schtick. Who would've thought he was prolific in clean guitar? Now I prefer his kind of music above all else. I'm done with trying to be the fastest picker, or the one who could play the cleanest sweep arpeggios (all of which Buckethead can do quite effortlessly). I could never be technically prolific, so I just try to enjoy playing instead of getting frustrated.
He just needs to get rid of that mask already, though.

That is not a fair comparison, though. You're talking about a timeless, iconic song. Slash didn't even mean for the guitar intro to sound that way as he was just doodling. If it wasn't for Axl insisting on using that, the song wouldn't be what it is today.
How many songs fit that category where the guitar is the most memorable part? And I'm talking worldwide recognition, not just guitarists/rockers.

Thunderstruck
Top Gun Anthem

At the moment I can only think of two.

I just prefer for him to be normal, instead of relying on a mask for publicity.
