Damn_Smooth Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Congrats to Slash. Regardless of how I feel about him present day, he deserves every award there is for his work in Guns. I wanna frame this post and bring it out every time someone says all D_S does is cupcake Slash fans.No matter what I say about him, he's still my favorite guitarist ever. I haven't seen anybody else come close to what he used to do.Randy Rhoades if he had livedWhat about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 He deserves every award, but also a kick in the nards for the Fergie thing.Speaking broadly for the mainstream, he's the last of the guitar Gods.The Fergie thing, the Michael Jackson thing, Ozzy thing, the soccer game thing, the whole Myles thing etc. etc... The list goes on and on.Fergy - yes.But Michael Jackson is one of the five most iconic entertainers in music history. Ozzy is a rock legend. Lots of musicians play sporting events. Why do you list these as negatives in a career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with the artists themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're so different. The neo classical stuff, Randy was great doing that. He was very melodic, technically very gifted, and also had a lot of imagination and was very creative as a guitar player.Slash's SCOM solo, Coma, Paradise City, and his riffs and other amazing solos were on Randy's level for me if we're comparing apples to oranges.He also had a chance to do much more and develop his craft, but even if we don't take that into consideration, he had everything Randy had and more, at least artistically. Technically Randy was much better, so it allowed him to do other stuff which was great, but it wasn't better imo, cause with the tools that were available to Slash, he created classic stuff on the same level for me.Like the great Ginger Baker always says: "it's not how fast you play, it's what you say".
