Buckethead VS. Michael Angelo

[misterbrownstone]

Batio is the fastest known guitarist on the planet, but as for him being in GN'R, well...

i agree, too different types of music.

if they want a Bucket replacement, get John 5.

He's good, but he'sno where near as good as bucket  in my opinion. Michael Angelo is just boring to me, yeah he's fast but I'm sure Pitman can make all those noises on his keyboards

[BabyGorilla]

I nominate Neil Zaza.

[Irishlad]

If Batio cut his hair would you guys still not want him to play for GN'R?

[Elrothiel]

John 5... well, alright I guess... but only if he limits wearing his lipstick to his ACTUAL lips instead of giving himself a huge big clown mouth!

[misterID]

He kind of looks like my mom.

I think john 5 and the ninja turtle guy both sound kind of like throw back Slayer metal. But not in a cool way.

[Elrothiel]

So Michael Angelo Batio has now been given the proud name of Ninja Turtle Guy...

Yea I know what you mean about the Slayer thing. The really really fast thing.

I think someone should set that man a challenge. He's not allowed to shred at full speed for over a year and must play only emotional bluesy stuff, classical madrigal stuff, and crunching heavy slow Dimebag-style riffs (see Domination on Cowboys From Hell).



It would be quite interesting actually methinks.

I met this Michael Angelo character's girlfriend on a flight back to the US from Europe.  She's all like, "My boyfriend's Michael Angelo", and I'm like "Who the hell is that?".  ah ha  She wrote some shit on a napkin for me, maybe I will have to go dig it up.

Buckethead's a better writer and overall player.  I wouldn't want Batio actually in the band, but it would be awesome if he toured with them because he is a brilliant technical player and he would be fun to watch on stage with Axl

Exactly....

If Axl gets Batio, all the shredhaters can start browsing their old threads and recycle the arguments they wrongfully used to discredit Buckethead, to make a valid point against Batio. Batio is the kind of guitarplayer who gives all other players, who can add speed as a dimension to their repetoire, a bad name. His playing has very little to do with music and very much with gymnastics. Unlike Buckethead who is one of the truly great (both in playing and in composing) in the instrumental genre.

His (Batio's) approach to making music is similar to a person who aspires to be a writer and decides to do so by learning the dictionary by hard, without ever knowing about proper grammar (analogy for structure, phrasing, dynamics, rhythm and sense of melody). Sure, he knows all the words (chops) and he's proud to use as many of them as possible. But without the deeper understanding of the classes of words, their inflections, and their functions and relations in the sentence... it holds no water.

It would be interesting for some live shows, but nothing permanent...

They are both wrong for Guns N' Roses.. Oh God I said it. Bucket is a great player but doesnt fit the mold and neither does Batio.
