Which Nightrain do you prefer? Slash/Buckethead/Bumblefoot?

[Jonathan]

Buckethead.

[SWINGTRADER]

this is an easy question.   The best version of each of the original songs  will always be from the old band  , end of story. I don't care if you have Jimmy Paige and Brian May sharing leads   the old band will always rule the old songs.  But As far as  the new band is concerned , I think  Saturday's nighttrain was the best performance the new band has done of that song.   The band was tight and having fun and you can see the emotion in the playing unlike in 2001-2002.  Also Axl sounds better now than 02'  so that helps.  Even if Buckets solo was technically better   his outfit and gimmick  took away from the performance .  Moving like a robot , I hate that in a musician.

As SWINGTRADER said, Saturday night's Nightrain was the best version the new band has done live...they were just so insanely tight and cohesive from begining to end on that song...I was absolutely blown away...

Closest version to that is Pukkelpop '02 Id say..

amazing how you people swing for the gnr of the day, kind of lame really..

there's omnly one gnr, shame it passed

Got to say, to date my favourite version of the outro solo is Buckethead's one at Pittsburgh; it's a bit more melodic than Thal's. Thal has a tendency to slip into showcasing his technical skills in the solo; Buckehead did the same, but knew when to scale it back for some melodic parts. I like Thal, though; I'm sure he'll step up to the plate...

Slash by far.... Maybe not the Ritz but a thousand other versions...

Bucket'swas cool from what I remember...

Haven't heard or seen the new guy...

Is it a question?

SLASH




Everything is better with Slash. (And with Axl BTW.)

[sandman]

slash. and it's not even a discussion worth having. not even close.

watching these vids made me realize that the current lineup isn't even close to the old lineup.

i think 06 is better than 02 overall, only because axl sounds so much better now.

BUT, axl had a better stage presence in 02.

[MarioGunner]

The one who wrote it, Slash!?

Totally agree, if he hadn?t written it, they wouldn?t  have a nightrain to lay solos in 

[MarioGunner]

Buckethead's rio is my all time fav?

Bumble's is impressive to.

Slash's is dull and unexciting.

so do you get bored with the first song of the use your illsions dvds? i don?t think so, none of them play it with the heart that slash did. Period.

By the way - Ritz 88 is a very bad example.

Sure, it was a classic performance, but Slash gets WAYYYYY better than that.

Seeing the video's i have been thinking the same, Axl while sounding great does not have the same stage presence. It could be his new outfits. The casual jeans, bull fighters top, pin stripe waist coat, Stevie Wonder glassed and the rug top don't seem as hard hitting as the swim shorts combined with boots and bandana 

The new look Axl appears like he is attempting to show the world he has a stack of cash behind him. The big rings, gold top, trendy shoes. The old sports shorts, Converse boots and t-shirts have gone.

i agree with you 100%.

axl is like the guy who shows up at a block party dressed WAY to nice, and then doesn't want to play volley ball or drinking games cause he doesn't want to break a sweat or get his clothes dirty.

Bumblefoot rocked.... Slash is Slash and he's a icon.. I can tell you right now Ron's got the job. I feel more out of Ron performance than Bucketheads..
