It seems like some people get offended because of different tastes. "Have you heard the entire album?" I'm sorry I didn't make it through all of BHs 2.3 million albums but everything I heard so far just isn't the music that I like. I know I don't like Justin Bieber without listening to his entire discography. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Buckethead is undoubtedly the better guitar player, but Slash is the better guitar player for Guns N' Roses. That said, I'm gonna post this again 'cause I think it's one of his songs that even Slash fans might appreciate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Axl had to be in the right place to move on from the negative feelings he had towards Slash. they belong together musically so it don't really matter. Axl also had to finish operation: chinese democracy. And whatever had to be real and not some temporary scam. Forgive what you have for what you might lose or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2 minute idea that got stretched out beyond the limits of listeners patience. That's my biggest beef with a lot of guitar instrumentals. Just because you have the chops doesn't mean you can loop a couple of chords forever and just noodle over them. Jeff Beck would never let something like this fly.

Sydney Fan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think alot of slash fans, myself included, would have respected and ddeveopled a serious interest in the buckethead era if he looked normal and took off the kfc bucket hat. Just plain fuckin cringy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same situation as in Aunt Suzie or Soothsayer, an idea stretched from 30s to a 7min long song. No dynamics whatsoever, just noodling on pentatonic scale over couple chords. Seriously it's nothing new... There are songs I love, like Baptism of Soltitude - Electric Tears album is great but after that you know everything BH has to offer, I doubt any of you can post me a song from those countless Pikes and surprise me with anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why people feel the way they do about Slash though. He's never been the be all, end all of everything GN'R for me personally, but I get why others feel that way.

Popular Post adamsapple Posted October 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2018 Discussions like these... but I'll join in anyway because they are so fun I like ALL players in GNR except DJ Ashba! Slash is best for classic GNR. Period. His tone compliments Axl's voice like no other, but he's a bit too up his own arse by now, Angus could be his daddy and still kicks the living shit out of him, that's just sad cause Slash should be kicking say Gretas asses if you catch my drift. So much for "legend". Lazy fucker he is, perfect for Axl. Buckethead is actually more of a one-trick-pony than a true virtuoso - but I like that trick, perhaps the most emotional shredder I've ever heard, great for getting high or blasting on headphones when out in nature but kinda dull everywhere else. I love some of his solo stuff where the influence of Paul Gilbert is not as prominent and more of his personal side comes out in the music, i.e. Colma, Population Override, Electric Sea, Look Up There - that's some crazy good music, not just good playing. Ron is the most technically skilled but his tone kinda sucks. Robin is just too sensitive and artsy for a mainstream act like GNR. I enjoyed their contributions to GNR though - different and sometimes a bit of a mismatch to the classcis, but very interesting for the CD material. Richard is too much of a gear nerd and doesn't have not enough confidence, lots of acting, he should hang with Jerry Cantrell for a bit, could do wonders for his overall coolness. So overall, yeah for classic GNR I'm going with Slash. But right now? I'd trade each and everyone of 'em for Izzy. GNR doesn't need more guitar solos. GNR needs more songs. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Izzy part- he ain't coming back. Yeah, probably. But ain't that a shame? You could give Slash or Richard an album and they might or might not play it or even add their own ideas to it that might or might not complete the whole thing. You give Izzy four chords and you have an album. That's the difference. I don't know about Axl's modus, but I suppose when he sits down at the piano for one night without the intention to rule the world and reinvent wheel, he might have an album too - and not a shabby one. It's just so depressing to see all this great talent and potential going nowhere because everyone cares more about the packaging and fireworks to sell it. Someone call Rick Rubin - he might be the only one to ever get us a new GNR album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashba would strum the wrong cords on an out of tune guitar and end with a massive wet fart. He then would wave his hands and bow with a lit cigarette and top hat. Then some person from Walmart would throw their bra with the price tag still attached (from walmart). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's not a competition and Slash has a couple of great riffs and solos, but his style is not unique enough me for. He was mainly inspired by Joe Perry and Keith Richards and you can see that. Edited October 12, 2018 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what happened to him, but it has been a while since he has done good production. The latest Smashing Pumpkins songs he was involved in seem like a total waste. Lots of potential in those songs, but the production brings them down, when it’s supposed to do the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Itd be AFD 2.0 with songs all "inspired" by AFD songs like Black Sabbaths 13 with bad production. It wouldnt be bad but it'd be devoid of all creativity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 What about Robin's solo album, is it ever coming out? Does anybody have any infos on that? I always thought that might be very interessting since Robin's studio work for Chinese was so good and creative. While he was in Guns I pretty much hated him back then. He was really, really bad with Slash's stuff plus the goofy stage moves, skullets and all that. Ashba was the worst, doesn't even matter how or what he played. Shame.
