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

[Top-Hatted One]

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

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

exacty! Slash was really drunk during that show...its still a legendary show. I like Nightrain from Australia 88!

also how lame is Sorum on that song?! he doesn't do the cowbell and it kills the intro. I'm glad Brain brought it back. Brain is the man!

[PhillyRiot]

Slash's Nightrain riffs are my preference.  Like most of his other solos it is awesome.

[AXL 20]

SLASH!! I would rather have him play better, TWAT, the blues etc. than finck! Slash is like God and his nightrain is miles above anyone elses.

here's a thought. Maybe people are taking to Buckethead and Bumblefoot over Slash as these guys are injecting a type on newness into the old GnR songs. Imagine if either Buckethead or Bumblefoot were the orignals and Slash turned up in 2006 and added his magic, maybe then we'd be really blown away.

[Top-Hatted One]

it just annoys me when people(mostly youngsters) put down my favorite gnr song. It's m fav for a reason. It is Slash's best work imo

[RageNirvanaNIN]

^ It annoys me when you say "youngster" I'm 15 and I fully understand GNR. Slash wrote the damn parts , he is the one for years played it and perfected it. Ron and BH are just people trying to re invent it.

[prolog]

of course nothing beats the original... Slash made that solo and still plays the heck out of it... although from some of the performances in the UYI tour(near the end) he sounds tired.

close second is Buckethead's... from the first time he played the outro in RIR3 I knew he can play the f**k out of the old GNR songs. and he did, he can play it note for note, but he brought a new kick out of it.

haven't heard Ron Thal's version, so i can't comment on that.

[Backslash]

I like Slash's best, of course.  For me, Bumble's comes second, he totally owned it at RIR, while Bucket's is a close third.  they're all fantastic.

[warrocks]

yeah. nightrain is one of my fav song. i think they're all great! but i can't stop listening to the one in RIR06 it's just amazing! so powerful, energetic.just rocks

Chances are if It was one of Buckethead or Bumblefoot in the original GN'R they would be no where near the level the actual band reached.
That band was all about variaubles. The right band, the right music, the right musicians, the right style, the right charcterisitics, the right personality's, the right attitude at the perfect time.

Pure speculation on your part.

Without Slash's presence only three songs would be the same: My World, Can't Put... and Look at your game girl. So Slash didn't matter these three songs made GN'R

My World of course was the run away hit of 1988. 

[SWINGTRADER]

regarding Axl 's stage presence  all i have to say is :   Tshirt,  jeans ,  long straight hair ( no pony tail), comfortable shoes ( low top tennis shoe, vans )   if he could do that  he would be easily more mobile, look younger  and kick major ass.  it would also  eliminate all the haters comments  about Axl  being a wigger.

Interesting, I never knew he wasn't on those two SI songs........ Love all three of those songs... Well, maybe I don't love "Memory" but it is cool. I haven't heard it in years....

Dude u are fuckin joking right?

SO iF CC Deville played in GNR instead of Slash and the guitarist for Bulletboys played instead of Izzy GNR wouldve wrote WTTJ,SCOM,PC and all the other fuckin hits?

U are totally dillusional if u really believe that u couldve thrown anybody with Axl back then and still had what u have today.

name one piece of music that Bucket or Bumble have done that has stood the test of time?

U do realize had Slash not played SCOM, Axl never wouldve wrote the lyrics and melodies to that right?

U realize if he hadnt came up with the guitar riffs for WTTJ and Nightrain that Axl never wouldve wrote those either right?

had Izzy not came up with all the amazing riffs he did, Axl wouldnt have these timeless classics for his nu band to play on tour.

U can worship at the altar of Axl Rose all u like dude, but Quit raping and robbing the contributions of the original members just so u can slurp Axl's dick cause its lame,uncool and just ignorant.

Slash...playing....There was a time...

[Rock the jungle]

I don't wanna get in any fight but in my opinion Slash's version kick's ass because there's feeling in the solo, it sounds Slash whereas in the others players in my opinion the solos are more technical but I would confuse Bucketheat and Ron  Slash sound is like Jimmy Page sound 

[oldgunsfan]

I'l Say Slash, Slash and Slash...oh I forgot Slash

but to bee more recent I'd say Bumblefoot over Buckethead
