Buckethead is... just incredible. The guy is music itself, 100%, no bullshit. You'll never hear something not music related coming from him, hell, you'll never even hear him speak at all. No words, just music. A true artist that does not chase fame or money, just composing and playing. Thank you, Buckethead, for sharing your art with us.

The reason I'm listening right now. I heard it years ago. Wanted to hear it again. The only version that holds up to Slash's... dare I say it's better? No... but as good as the second greatest outro of all time? I think so. (Best outro goes to Fade to Black. I just can't say anything is as good. Not even GNR)

[@gemini_man66]

I've returned from the year 2379 A.D. The solo you are referring to is The World Soundtrack aptly titled, "Supreme Hope By Buckethead." It plays through our inner-ear speakers every morning and any time we rock out. Rock has made a huge comeback due to Buckethead and his son, "Pailface." Yes, they are human/robot hybrids.

There is no comparisson between Bucket and Slash, they are 2 big different worlds, No contest at all. Both of them are really good. It is just that Buckethead owns the whole universe, all hail Master BH :)

6:23 *Looks at screen* (Holy sh*t, I'm sure look AWESOME).

[@uku82]

someone after(around 6:29) take it too and Bucket looked at him

[@lujanl.1994]

Jesus! Buckethead was/is on a level of his own. GN'R had great musicians, but Bucket swept the floor with them

[@johnulcer]

Maybe on a technical level, but Bucket has been writing music for decades now, and has yet to come close to producing a single song as successful as most of Slash's material. This isn't a knock against Bucket. I'm a fan. But he's more of a technical and avant-garde guitarist, and comparing him to Slash is like comparing Frank Zappa to Eric Clapton or something. It's just a whole different mindset and approach to the music. Buckethead is very talented at guitar and could probably play circles around Slash in terms of scales and obscure jazz chords, but Slash has such a signature, unmistakable sound and identity that unfortunately Bucket just doesn't have. And Bucket produces a lot of wandering jam tracks (which I dig as background music) but he doesn't have a single riff that the general public would recognize in the same way that Slash does. You can get into the weeds on whether mainstream success equals quality and vice versa, but ultimately Buckethead will not go down in history books the way Slash has. That being said I love the guy and really admire his skill. I think the solo for "There Was a Time" is one of the best of all-time. But people get so hung up on "Slash doesn't know theory!" and it's like yeah, but did Bucket write a song half as memorable as Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child? It's just not a comparison imo.

[@dovydas4483]

Well yes... Slash is good but buckethead is god.

[@PedroMeuca]

Only a true guitarrist knows how hard it is to play that altarnate picking part of the solo (4:35-4:43 for example). Add a mask and a KFC bucket, and a giant crowd in front of you. I'd shit myself instantly.

[@tipsesportivas]

[@5leepsWIth5cI55or5]

That final clip from Boston Blows me away every time.

[@lagofala]

I wish he makes a surprise appearance on the gnr tour

[@w1we]

Yes, good idea. And should also be DJ Ashba

[@GonzaBuckRP]

Estuve pensando un poco recién cuando me di cuenta lo siguiente. Yo soy de Argentina, los Guns tocaron el Viernes y el Sabado pasado (edito este pequeño detalle que me olvide de mencionar, yo fuí al recital del Sabado). Yo pienso esto: si hubiese aparecido Buckethead (a quien amo) arriba del escenario en vez de Slash, hubiese sido completamente abucheado, ni que hablar de todo lo que le hubiesen tirado. El argentino que fue a ver a los "viejos Guns", ni se debe de acordar de Buckethead, la gran mayoría seguramente ni lo conoce (como mucho un 5% de los que fueron lo conocen). Y me pongo a pensar, que no sabría que hacer en ese momento, porque yo a Buckethead escucho desde 2008, desde que lo conocí, y estar en esa situación, afortunadamente, no me tocó estar. Me refiero a la hostilidad de la gente de acá con alguien completamente singular y desconocido, me agarraría a piñas con medio mundo.

[@francotv1075]

Eduardo Roizarena lo vi en rosario me encantó el show genial, lo único que criticaria? la fuerza que perdieron los temas del chinese democracy con slash y sus arreglos, los vi en 2011 y ese disco tenía una fuerza un virtuosismo distinto a lo de slash y todo eso lo puso bucket en ese disco colaboro en todas las canciones y grabó 11 solos para ese disco, pueden reconocer sus arreglos y estilo there was e time o beter, irs o Madagascar, slash ni en pedo toca eso, ron tal si los ejecutaba perfectos, me olvidaba el lugarteniente de bucket en ese momento era Robin fink buen guitarrista

[@w1we]

Roy Williams Although it hurts DJ Ashba was very applauded and worked with Axl very well for several years.

[@JesseEVH]

Man no matter what anybody says about this "Slash has more emotion" bullshit he doesn't. All the stuff you guys hear of Buckethead are all of his shredding songs. Buckethead has over 900 songs and over 200 of them are more emotional than all of Slash's solos and have a "bendy blues feel" whatever that means. Slash's only "emotions" come from all the drugs he does. Buckethead has studied music, did his homework, knows the theory and truly knows how to play with emotion along with multiple other genres. All you Buckethead haters, PLEASE go search up his emotional songs. There's an 8 hour playlist on KZbin. You won't be disappointed.

[@juhonieminen7480]

in my opinion..I think that buckethead has not done anything as good as the songs, for example, sweet child of mine

[@juhonieminen7480]

that's how it should be done.drums,bass and guitars all combined together.there was such a great bands in the 80's that doesn't get the value/attention what they deserved,especially this /watch?v=FcMuebiWraY

[@JesseEVH]

Yes I agree with you. 80's bands rock! GNR is one of my top 3 Fav bands! But as a musician, Buckethead is a lot better. He can play styles like Slash, he can play styles like Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Van Halen. He's the biggest innovator in the Avant Garde genre. He's badass. Don't get me wrong, I love Slash but I don't see how people think he's more talented at guitar. I feel Bucket deserves more respect because you can tell how much he practices. BTW Sweet Child of Mine (great song) was written because Slash was "Fucking around". I can't really respect that but whatever

[@JesseEVH]

And again, sorry to keep ranting, but I was in everyone else's position 2 years ago. I absolutely hated Buckethead for no reason and thought Slash was so much better. But if you really look into a lot of his work (and not just Soothsayer and Jordan) you'll be amazed. I'm not saying you'll hate Slash, I'm just saying that you'll have more respect.

[@MrTheEvilgerman]

Buckethead is a class of his own, way better than Slash ever was. I love him to the bone.

[@motorf1zr]

[@fernandoamaral7761]

O ultimo solo do vídeo que o Buckethead reproduz é a verdadeira essência da musica Nightrain, que me fez sentir saudade do Guns n Roses dos anos 80 e o que realmente os caras viveram com esse som na época, só ele conseguiu expressar o sentimento, nem o próprio Slash criador do solo foi capaz. Esse solo expressa Nightrain de verdade.

[@Johnnysmithy24]

I fully fucking agree

[@tonytan8014]

They are lost w/o BH, he makes the music top notch.

[@theenrry]

Por mais que eu tenha achado o Buckethead esplêndido nesse solo, mostrando como ele é bom no que faz, o Slash não é só o que você acha. Dá uma olhada: Guns N' Roses live Argentina (se não me engano, a de 93). Cara, o solo de Nightrain é simplesmente insano, sem conta todas as vezes em que o Slash sola com Double Talkin' Jive. Eu gostei desses vídeos do Bucket porque não sabia que ele era tão bom, mas ver o pessoal rebaixando o Slash é um pouco decepcionante
