DieselDaisy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 There were players around in the 1980s who could run circles around Bumblefoot – if - judged solely on technique. These players however were garbage: soulless unoriginal Van Halen clones with big perms! My point is, the quality of a guitar player includes songwriting excellence. When Bumblefoot writes, riffs as good as Sweet Child O' Mine, solos as good as November Rain, come back and then we can talk. If this is judged by 'Guns N' Roses', Bumblefoot's corner looks even weaker: his sole studio output is a bunch of hastily recorded overdubs on one album. Slash co-wrote and recorded Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Van Halen clones can run circles around Ron based solely on technique? Interesting, considering Eddie Van Allicandoistap himself couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiaz06 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 There's a reason you see Slash and Bucket in those top guitarist lists all over and Ron is hardly ever mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Slash is light years ahead of the other two. I'm willing to bet all of the bitter people will miss Ron. They all hated Bucket until he left. I still hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Technically it's Bumblefoot. The guy can do anything with the instrument. Sometimes it's just a bit too wanky though, and his punk style isn't always to my taste.As far as combining exceptional technical ability with enjoyable melodic playing goes, it's Buckethead. He can play almost as well as Bumblefoot, but his music is much more enjoyable and versatile.For creating enjoyable contemporary music and fitting best in GNR, it's Slash. The guy's riffs (and solos when he's trying) are up there with the best.Pretty much my opinion, although Bucket and Bumble fit in fine with GNR's sound imo.

You are so defensive and mentioned technical skills because this is your only argument, right? Seriously, not to sound arrogant or anything but when I get to hear from absolute masters of the fretboard and musician's musicians like Shawn Lane or Guthrie Govan that someone's one of the best ever, I don't need a deaf GnR fan like you or SS to tell me otherwise. If you really believe that Slash is light years ahead of the other guitar players in question I suggest you to listen to more music, especially guitar-influenced music. There's a whole world out there you haven't discovered yet.Fuck that, now I gotta search (again) for more early Bucket vids. Watching him play Watching the boards with my dad (the song at the end) gave me goosebumps. Amazing song, amazing playing, amazing guitar player!

I don't enjoy Bumblefoot music, to me is awful and boring. Technically Bumblefoot is better than Slash, that doesn't mean he's able to create "better" music to my ears. What can I say? I love Guns N' Roses, I love Appetite for Destruction and both Illusion records. I like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. According to that: Slash > Bumblefoot. Nothing stupid or retarded about it.

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I dig em all too. But BBF's ability to take any guitar and amp given to him and play anything with that gear, is what at the end of the day makes me want to pick my guitar up, even though I will never be that great.

If Slash was making music that sounded like that, I would kill myself.Have you heard the whole thing? You're not smart enough to realize that we were talking about technical skills and those vids show exactly that, there's no music apart from a few bits here and there.And, really, do you really think that this is shit? If so, yes, please kill yourself. You'll be doing us a favor. Bucket not only beats almost everyone technique-wise but also creatively with an impressive body of truly beautiful guitar music. The guy's got the most beautiful guitar oriented songs ever recorded under his belt - only Shawn Lane's truly amazing ballads can match him.
