If someone wants to correct Conan you can probably get on his show.

That was funny. I love Buckethead .  I met him back in 2001 the day after my first ever GNR show at the Joint.  He was very nice.  That was not him. He recognized me from standing in
The front row.  He sent his friend after me to have me come back to Starbucks to talk to him.  Was one of my fav GNR moments forever!  8)

Longer than that. 2004.

I guess it makes for a better joke than to stick with facts....  ;)

Yeah Conan sucks these days. Not just this sketch but since 'Late Night' was over it's been "Where's Masturbating Bear?" to him pretty mutch.

Conan has his moments still, if you want a laugh check out his bits with Kevin hart and Ice Cube. Hysterical

Or it points out that not many people actually know facts (but as a music fan I would assume Conan does so you do have a point). For people who don't watch Palladia at 3:00AM, the 2002 VMA's might be the last time they saw GnR perform live.

Yep.

Not to mention the joke only works with a guy with a freakin' mask.

That was absolutely awful to be honest. Not even worth smiling for.

You're assuming those people were watching MTV VMAs in 2002.  ;)
I wouldn't be surprised if a number of viewers wouldn't have known the difference no matter what name he had used.

I still think the joke wouldn't be as funny without the Buckethead character itself. So that's why they kinda went with it.

Exactly. Folks it's a comedy show. His job is to be funny to a general audience, not to be 100% accurate on rock marginalia the only diehard fans care about.

My favorite part about the whole thing was him being (what looked like) 5'2" (158 cm) tall.

Still, it would've been fine if he had not said "the most recent lineup.?or something? Maybe something  as simple as ''Buckethead won't be in it!''

Yes but it was still very weak.

Not funny, can't stand Conan nor his show.

I liked it. Found it very funny.

Annoying that they refer to him being in the line-up still, but still found the bit pretty funny. I love the idea of an old Chinese guy being buckethead.  :rofl:

Didn't really do it for me, but cool that the recent developments are a thing in mainstream outlets like late shows.

Maybe they got paid to do it, and that is why it didnt come out funny.

No question.

Haven't seen GNR on the cover of the Billboard site or a lead item on sites like Yahoo and HuffPo, well...ever.

Its definitely cool.

Yes. I have not watched Conan in forever. Not really a fan. I just laughes at this little sketch cuz I'm a big Buckethead fan.

Pretty funny...Makes me recall the MSG show where Axl call out to Conan and offered him Krispy Kreame donuts from Axl's White Trash Bistro.....

Conan's capable of much funnier stuff.
