But a thousand people can play someone else's solo note-for-note. I personally know several. I've seen people I know play that solo stoned and drunk. Why would that be on a list of "Buckethead's" best solos? I can play Sweet Child O' Mine. Maybe I should put that on a list of my best solos so that y'all knew that it was done by me. Not this Slash fella, or Randy Rhoads, or some wanker with a bucket on his head. Me.

Pretty sure at one point I saw a sixth finger pop out of his hand. Tried to slow it down but then my pc crashed. In all seriousness, this guy is decades ahead of his time. He seems to do things that other people are known for better than they could ever hope to. Not really a fan but much respect.

Awesome freaking video! The Buckethead paying tribute to the BEST guitar player who ever lived, Randy Rhoads!! And before you start tearing me to shreds over that statement consider this.....Buckethead OBVIOUSLY respects Randy. Not only did he decide to include his music in his live performance but he also played it note for note. He didn't embellish it at all. And we all know he could have. I bet if you asked Bucketman, he would tell you that he had mad respect for Randy.

#5 was note-for-note Randy Rhodes. There is nothing ground breaking or remarkable about it other than how awesome Randy made it. It's an amazing and moving piece of music. I'm not a huge Ozzy fan, but think that the guitar playing on Blizzard of Oz is completely out of this world. Out of all of these 5 solos, I think that #2 is by far the best.

[@Kevin.7.]

I think that you can't compare them since they both play the guitar in their own style.

[@Kevin.7.]

L K okay

[@Revelator2025]

Technique-wise, Bucket trumps Slash hands-down. He’s been shred-precise for years. 1992 I first saw Bucket in SF. Playing GnR material and touring threw him into the arena of being consistent, diatonic to key changes other than the chromatic half-step stuff. To have to have a grasp over those changes while soloing and to produce proper emulation of Slash when obligatory, REALLY refined Bucket’s musicality whereby his absolute Uber shred techniques became much more phrase-congruent/fluid... Before GnR, he half-stepped chromatically all over and lacked phrasing cohesiveness heard in 80s rock metal songwriting, etc. Having to adhere to those types of song structures forced B to work and dial that in in his own songwriting. The result was his expanded song, key/chord change/structure choices when writing (and applying his ripping over top of that)...

[@jbrookley]

Eh, I like Buckethead too but Slash and his music are not comparable. If you just music by only solos, then yeah, your have a case for Buckethead. Even then, Slash has some truly memorable solos... But honestly, Slash just has the riffs. I can think of a lot of Buckethead songs I like but Slash just has these memorable riffs that stick with you. There's not the same structure to compare the two with Buckethead basically just soloing over backing tracks. Playing for the song is different from guitar virtuoso music...

Buckethead shits on everyone, from space. How's he not recognized as the bar none craziest guitarist ever? I dont even dig guitar god worshiping, I much prefer songwriting, but this guys got what the others dont, and what hasnt been seen since Hendrix: CREATIVITY, FEELING, and as usual, skill. Except he surpasses everyone in every way. Hence what I said at the very beginning of this comment. Only thing Hendrix had on him was singing and that certain type of songwriting. But their creativities were very similar. He needs his own Mitch Mitchell... someone bring Zach Hill to Bucket pronto, they got some albums to make.
