I´ve heard that Buckethead was sick and that it was sirious. That´s maby the reason why new Guns album isn´t done yet but I´m not sure. I agree with you all, no matter how good Bucket play he will never beat Slash´s look´s and feeling. I just want an old Guns N´ Roses (with Steven Adler of course) but I know that Axl is pain in the ass and that´s probaly impossible just because of him.
