Guitarist attitudes

[Feel_The_Burn]

I've found the stuff I was raving about, there you go:

Buckethead - NOTTINGHAM LACE

Give it some time to build up, the beginning isn't very flashy but the second half will make your ears bleed.

Buckethead - NIGHTRAIN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk7plGs3RP0
It's just unreal, one of the most memorable moments in GN'R ever for me.

I like all the players past and present (even Ron) but I honestly think no one will ever come close to what Buckethead was about to tickle out of the songs and sound of this band. He and Axl could have been the greatest Michael Jackson / Willy Wonka kind of team and I really mean that in a good way.

Hope you enjoy the Buckethead clips? Post some of Ron if you like!

No offense but BH is by far to me the worst GNR guitarist , including every guitarist in the band. That solo , doesn't fit the songs mood at all , its just what it is mindless shredding running up and down scales never impressed me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVinK3AMBis - Decent nightrain'age , he sticks to the original but expands on it by making it his own , but still fits the song perfectly. With BH it's like GNR is a basketball game , and a player is throwing a football you know?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSgun5Y0vEA - Slash owns the original though , I'm sure many will disagree , the tone , the playing , the full on style man. But one of the best I've heard is the Tokyo 1988 one , this one is the RIR 92 one tho' ( speaking of slash looks likes sideshow bob here lmao )

EDIT: AHH Tokyo 1988 , IMO the best sounding show from the AFD line up.

My god, that 1988 version is incredible. 

bumble's tone in that one clip was way too processed, but he played well.

Yeah the tone is somewhat off , but then again the stream was pretty crappy to begin with. I don't know what it is about the that '88 clip that is so fuckin' cool.

EDIT: !!! look at jungle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Z4PUG0uuE

Holy Fuck!!!!!  That Jungle intro was what it was all about.  That is what seperates Slash from the rest. Not a display of skill or speed, just pure rock n roll.  Primal Dino music.  Sexy and Ballsy.  That is why people hold him in such high regard, cause he is a pure badass on guitar!

Buckethead's reminds me of 80's hair metal guitar soloing, just a bunch of fast meaningless scales.

Faster doesn't mean better.


Bumble's guitar solo on Nightrain is Tight. I really like it a lot. It kicks fuckin ass. I think he should be the sole lead player as I really like his solos.

lets quit the old who was/is better/ worse competition. Besides, I don't think yourtube clip and boots can do justice.
Music is subjective. no theory can change how it sounds to an individual listener.


Back to the guitarist attitudes toward their music,
As far as I can see being aggressive, diligent and earnest is the attitude common to all of the recent GNR members.

This is Better mp3 from  the Budapest 2006 show (Hungary, 31th may) . ChrisMaciel is the uploader, so thanks once again dude.

this is that show which Robin smashes his guitar and Ron improvises Robin's solo, backing vocal melodies and final riff.
