What I'm trying to do is explain to you that he's not as big as some of you try to imply to the others. Are we clear now? Yes other people are. My post isn't directed at you.

I always thought the riff for The Way To Heaven had some similarities to Don't Cry, especially that little run at the end of it, which is interesting because that album was recorded during his time in Guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 34 minutes ago, shotsfired cro said: I remember many pools/experts where Slash came in as 2nd best guitarist ever, Clapton, Angus, Eddie VH, Jimmy Page behind him, but NEVER, never were there Mustaine or Buckethead in top 100. I don't even like Mustaine's music but I can appreciate his skill. Someone like Angus or Slash might write catchier tunes but I don't really view them as 'better' guitarists. With someone like Buckethead, he's got plenty of albums that I don't think are good, but credit where it's due: he can't be confined to one style or genre, he does whatever he wants and is generally good at whatever he tries. His best songs are some of my all-time favourite songs, just like Slash's best songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) If you're gonna pick someone from Megadeth to be in a list of best players, it wouldn't be Mustaine, it would be Friedman.

Slash shows respect for Bucket and all these Slash fans try and tear Bucket down. Shameful. Poor BH. Some dudes on a GNR forum said they don't like his music. What a sad day for him.

Totally agreed, Friedman and Mustaine's solos on Rust in Peace are all killer; I haven't dug much into Friedman's solo work, but losing him was a big loss for the band after Risk was released. I love Megadeth, but it's sad when Mustaine seems to have a bad relationship with most, if not all of his ex-bandmates. Chris Broderick wasn't half-bad either.

Exactly, Pearson's Square especially fits well alongside albums like Colma & Shadows Between the Sky. Feels like Colma doesn't even get mentioned anymore, even though it belongs in every Buckethead starter pack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alejandro GNR Posted October 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2018 I would never tear BH down because he might be my second favorite guitar player after Slash. We should try to enjoy both of them, each on their own. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro GNR Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 What happens to me is that I can totally understand why Axl took BH in GnR. He had everything to take Slash’s place without trying to replace him. I’d love to hear all the unheard BH guns songs. That said, Slash belongs in GNR and no one is or would be a better fit for GnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before Megadeth, when he was in Cacophony with Jason Becker, he was doing some special work instrumentally. But after leaving Megadeth he truly cut loose creatively. It's like he was only painting with one brush and one colour in that band, and now he can use the full range. Really digging his albums like Music For Speeding, Loudspeaker and especially Infrerno.

And Buckethead fanboys respond by misconstruing and over-reacting to what some have been saying in this thread. Seems pretty apparent that Buckethead fanboy has a complex and is insecure about his opinion. Good advice for you is to listen more, type less. Furthermore, all I've really learned from this thread (and others) -- aside from Buckethead fans having reading comprehension issues and generally feeling insecure -- is that it's apparently OK to critique Myles Kennedy and his voice/vocal style but it's not OK to critique Buckethead in a similar manner. The truly hypocritical part is several of the Buckethead guys crying over him are the same ones trashing Myles Kennedy in other threads and not caring when someone disagrees with them. How rich. You know what they say about the shoe being on the other foot ..... 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why these people feel so defensive in regards to buckethead criticism, the guy is a fn weirdo that is known for his weird performances its almost part of the show a guy like this being criticized by regular people and im pretty sure most of his sucess comes from curiosity and being a weirdo. He is a strange creature that most of the time do weird bleep music, extremely technically skilled, but still a weirdo. So the criticism is just natural. When people criticize Myles is the other way around, the guy ia criticized for being way too normal and a nice guy overall. One has way too much personality and the other has zero personality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside the hardcores he is basically known for the weird stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
