Ok, lemme start off by saying that I am probably the most biased person when it would comes to this question. Slash is my hero and favorite guitarist, if it weren't for him, I'd've never picked up an axe. I'm very happy that the new Guns washed up cuz Axl can't keep his sh*t together. I was dreading them getting off to a start, cause for true gnr fans anything short of an original member reunion would be totally unexceptable. Having said all that I must admit that I haven't even listened to any of buckethead's work, I just figured the guy was a gimmick wearing a raincoat and a KFC bucket on his head, and covering Slash's material. But now that I see you guys giving him some props I'm gonna check out some of his work to see what the fuss is all about. I'll report back later.
