@Nick Martin All Slash and Buckethead can do is stare at their guitars while they play. Roy Clark could play anything either of those two could play, play it better and play it at a virtuoso level on nearly anything that had strings on it. What Roy did was doubly difficult because he was mixing in comedy while he was playing instead of just staring at his guitar like Slash and Buckethead do.

Slash and Buckethead are like the guy in school that is friends with everybody and played guitar because he liked it and he wanted everybody to hear him, and his introvert friend that stayed at home and practiced 24/7
Not even close in comparison. Buckethead can play any genre of music whereas Slash is deep rooted in the blues with a touch of metal. I've been a fan of the guitar for the last 60+ years. Buckethead is someone I rank right up there with Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Charlie Hunter, Eric Johnson and Jeff Beck. The range of Buckethead's virtuosity never cease to amaze me. At nearly 70 years old I never imagined I would be waiting anxiously for Buckethead's latest release. Only artists who I have followed since the early 60's who had me this interested was the Beatles at the peak of their influence in the mid to late 1960s. Never would have imagined that at my age I would be amped up about the newest release from a guy with a hockey mask and a KFC bucket on his head. Rock on Buckethead and thank you for keeping me engaged and in love with instrumental guitar music.
I'm your age, Marty, never saw Hendrix but have seen most of the great guitartsts, Zappa many times, McLaughlin many times, Jeff Beck, Santana, and many others with uniques styles. But when I saw Buckethead up close, I felt like I was witnesing history. I identify with his shyness. I am a drummer/synth player and it's not just about techique or speed. The emotions coming through his flurries just blow me away. In a world of fantastic guitarists, its hard to stand out, but he is truly one of a few. Come back to New Haven, please!
incredibly underrated comment right fucking here! I know I am only 20+ years old, but I have never heard a more unique and amazing guitarist that Buckethead. And with the direction that music is heading now I doubt another one will ever come again. Buckethead was truly the last god of guitar that came from around my or my brothers generation. He is incredible and although slash is a great guitarist he does not hold a candle to that man with a KFC bucket on his head holding a rubber chicken.
If buckethead was a horror movie murderer... He’d play soothsayer and full sprint towards you while playing with one hand and a chain saw in the other hand
@@darcyherbert1145 Darcy please fact check yourself before telling someone else they are wrong. Chinese democracy is an album that was made by GNR and released in 2008. Buckethead was in GNR from 2000-2004 and his work can be heard on some songs in Chinese Democracy. Buckethead was the lead guitarist obviously
Ikr. Comparing them is a flawed concept from the start, BUT if i was gonna do a it, id just use them playing the same song. Not use two clips of them basically playing two entirely different fucking genres.
i really appreciate his writing contribution to apetite and their earlier albums. he and izzy we're serious players and they laid down some legendary music from the heart. im not into the hat or the flash ive seen slash he completely blew my mind. he came in on the back of the drum riser about 12 feet up on a scaffold and when the lights came up he was hitting his first chord in midair leaping off this scaffold right in front of me landing on a metal grille with lights and fans under it in cowboy boots like a complete rock god. ive learned to see him as a person now. buckethead doesn't impress me in the same way at all. im really no into his schtic its an act and he hides his face because hes insecure. hes a cool guy but he can't impress like a youthful slash in all his glory leaping off a 12 foot scaffold in the dark. mindblown. not so much for a bucket and an emotionless mask and a rubber chicken with his laptop and some backing tracks and a stretchy strap and a killswitch. not that impressive. its like a rock n roll circus sideshow if you ask me. and opener for bands that don't want to be outshined by their opening act. hes a second rate artist trying to get into the first rate business but that mask holds him back imo. he needs a real band to compete anyway that laptop is weak.
They both have different niches. Buckethead has always been a little more inventive when it comes to forwarding the state of electric guitar. Slash has this preternatural sense of where a melody *wants* to go. If you listen to his lead playing on appetite and use your illusion, the melodies have this way of being both enormously satisfying and melodically adventurous.
Tat might seem to us as impossible like playing with a kfc bucket and a.mask but the fact is tat he had practiced with tat condition for yrs so it's normal fr him
Honestly I think apart of being good at a thing is making it lik effortless, something slash isent really doing in these clips, bucket head is just up there, not visible breaking a sweat just loving life, loving the scene and jamming out, really engaged in the crowd which is another really important thing to do when preforming, to a point oc
Nobody can beat Buckethead in creating music. While other guitarist is still playing their old hits, Buckethead is still making music, experiment with new sounds, and able to stay under radar is mind blowing.
Buckethead can pump out like 10+ albums a year. Full length albums. All different styles of music. "Oh but it's all just instrumentals" Yeah, he doesn't have a vocalist to do all the heavy lifting for him. I understand that majority of people are drawn to music in general because of lyrics and vocal melodies, but it's a crime that buckethead doesn't get more recognition
@@megrez45 I'm a huge Buckethead fan, been playing guitar for 17 years, he's a major inspiration, but if I'm honest, some of his music can be a chore to listen to. Quality over quantity. That said, Brian Caroll is a supremely talented musician
@@dragonsban3327 It's just some idiot with a childrens brain that can't get past tribalistic behaviour. The toddler likes Slash, so now everything else must be hated. The caveman is still present in him.
@@terminatort.m4866 Buckethead can play and compose like slash, he plays many different style, not only shred or metal, he can compose like slash if only you try to see what does ha can do. But anyway it's stupid to say that, "Buckethead can't compose like slash " like slash can't compose like buckethead. You can't compare them, slash make blues whereas buckethead make metal, hard rock, rock, shred, and many other
marceloevera2012 HAHAHAHA bucketshit. I guarantee you don’t even listen to anything by buckethead. GNR didn’t deserve buckethead. Buckethead knows too much about music and technique. Slash is stuck in blues. Buckethead can do everything slash can and so much more. I don’t mean to bash on slash like that but it’s not even close.
I assume you're reffering to him playing with one hand, in which case that's really simple to figure out and what he's doing is just a slightly more conplex version of a technique used in many many songs
I'm a huge fan of both. Slash was my guitar hero growing up, and I have a real penchant for the blues and hard rock/metal. The way he conveys emotion makes him the best in hard rock. Bucket head is able to convey emotion in completely different styles, and he's not just a technical guitarist he's also a prolific musician.
@@tixximmi1 explain exactly how if you can? One seems to play on emotion and the other seems to shred and shred perfectly. Both are amazing without a doubt.
@@Trey_Alexander I worked with both. Just my opinion. I've heard the two of them both the shredding and emotional style music, it's just my opinion that Buckethead is the better musician.
It's really hard to compare them since they have two totally different styles of playing and are placed in two different genres of music. They are basically just really good at what they do separately, but I personally prefer Buckethead myself even though Slash is a very talented guitarist himself. I don't think I'd be the guitarist I am today without them.
No you can compare them. The problem is that Buckethead is a far superior guitar player to Slash. But Slash has been responsible for some of the greatest licks of all time.
One is a stereotypical rock star, the other a quiet & humble guitar legend. Past 30 yrs Buckethead has released massive amounts of amazingly creative music, spanning all genres & with unmatched technique, phrasing & emotion. Most ppl can’t get into instrumental music so he will never be as popular. He is totally fine with that as are his fans. A much better clip for soul & melodic shred than the one used for comparison in this vid: ruclips.net/video/VsMKp7SaPKU/видео.html
Yes, it was his place behind Axel Rose that led to his popularity. There is no comparison between the two, Mike Meyers Kentucky Fried Chicken Head is by far the better guitarist. See my post above.
@@thomaspeters5889 he’s better at guitar playing but worse at writing music. That’s not a bad thing mind you it’s just a different style. I believe being technically good can sound just as good as musically good it’s just who likes what.
Could slash improvise something in pentatonic scales that buckethead couldn’t? Yes. Buckethead has a chromatic style where slash has a pentatonic style.
I was in to Slash when I was a teenager in the 80's listening to guns n roses and no disrespect to the man but Buckethead is on a whole other level. There is no comparison
People who claim that BH plays with no "feel" or "soul" have never really listened to any of his music. It's because of him that I see how emotionally driven shredding can be. Apart from this being a pointless video, since music isn't a competition of ability or expression, it's honestly hilarious reading these comments. The ignorance is unreal. They're both great and true musicians, composers even. Sorry to write a book, but hot damn people need to shut the fuck up already and listen to music outside their comfort and their judgements soley made on appearance lol
thanks for the truth, BH, has fantastic depth and soul, just listen to his songs, especially his songs for his parents, but many more, slash is one he'll of a guitarest, his rifts are legend an all ways will be, to co are the two is pointless, for me there is no such thing a THE greatest guitarest, there are only great guitarists, and these are but Two.
This is a lame vs video. Got Slash doing a full solo. Then got a video of Buckethead just messing around.Why not have the solo from soothsayer or something....
You can’t compare them. Two very different guitarist. Slash is a great guitar player. Buckethead is a genius. A virtuoso. He’s on a different level than most guitar players. He seems from another planet.
I sometimes forget how good Slash actually is. I think its pretty hard to compare the two. Slash is better in a natural, melodic, writing riffs that are widely popular and memorable way. Buckethead is better in a technical, speed, mathematical, Yngwie Malmsteen kind of way. If I wanted someone to try and win a competition for fasted playing or best theory Id pick Buckethead. If I wanted someone to write me a legendary riff and slaying solo that is marketable but also respected by guitarists Id pick Slash.
Yngwie Malmsteen? You lost any credibility you would have otherwise had right there. That guy is the definition of hack. He's nothing but a collection of tricks.
You really must hear buckethead albums and then see if you still think the same. I'll give you one: Albino Slug. That's legendary riffs and soloing 101. Thank me later.
All i'm gonna say is, in terms of legendary guitarists, slash in one of the all time most influential and well known guitarists of all time. I mean, guns and roses, need i say more. And in terms of guitar skill, shown in this video one did technically difficult things to do on guitar against someone who did things most amateurs would find simple. Both sounded good sure, both may have excellent songs sure, but in these two videos, one guy played very demanding and skillful stuff, the other guy did nothing difficult at all.
Are you saying that that's what he does all the time, like on every song or something, or are you just referring to the couple of times that it shows Slash perform in this compilation video?? Because this video does have/show a couple of completely different songs/performances by Slash and Buckethead in here tho too.
I love Bucket, and he's beyond talented on a technical level, but let me know when he writes a song half as iconic as anything on Appetite for Destruction. I see this comment all the time on Bucket videos and it gets so tiresome.
@@PotatoL001 That also depends upon how you define a "better" guitarist. Buckethead is a better (or, I should say, more technically precise and knowledgeable) guitarist than Slash, but Slash is a better songwriter and has a keener ear for melody and riffs. Bucket has yet to write a song on the level of Coma or Estranged. Slash also has an iconic sound and style -- you can immediately place a Slash riff or solo. The same cannot be said for Bucket. There's a reason one is a cult underground musician and the other is constantly ranked on all-time lists of best guitarists and has sold a ridiculous number of records. So yeah, if you sat them down Bucket could probably incorporate way more theory and scales than Slash but that doesn't necessarily make him a superior guitarist unless that's the only criteria you use to define such a thing. I do genuinely love Bucket and listen to Electric Tears all the time but it's comparing apples to oranges in a sense and they have very different strengths and weaknesses.
Slash: Turns up to gig with with an entire bandwagon full of equipment and musicians. Buckethead: Turns up to gig with One guitar, a rubber chicken and a plastic chainsaw and borrows someone’s amp. 🤣 Goddamn I love Buckethead 🤘🏼
Slash: shows up to play in front of tens of thousands of people in a sold out stadium Buckethead: shows up at the county fair in front of 12 people with a crane still in the background lol
"Buckethead has no heart and soul" -hey Slash And what about Soothsayer, Mount shasta, Siege Engine, Erie canal, Ran, Aunt Suzie and Electric sea ? Just to mention a few...
*Slash is just popular- because of the publicity, appearance, grungy glamour, and his music too.* *Bucket Head is less popular as compared to Slash because he always kept himself as a disguised personality, no major band, not filthy drunk nature, solo artist, one of the nicest people in the rock and roll.*
@@Unknown-ko7xt I've just seen a argument that lasted 2 or 3 months on this comments and i believe i know a couple randoms life story and these legends past, what a time to live in
Jimmy Page, said of Buckethead, that he understands the true spirit of what Page did himself in Zeppelin in understanding spectacle. Page is big fan of Buckethead and I understand why. Slash is a great player and is a better fit in G N R, but Buckethead is streets ahead technically and as a performer.
i felt that this was not the best video to showcase buckethead solo skills, you are comparing an artist basically experimenting with sounds and technique with a drum machine backing track and a looped baseline. Slash had a full band and was doing his full guitar blues lead solo. Its two totally different things. If you want to compare the two, show them solo over the same song or at least blues lead solos with full bands and not just buckethead fucking around on stage with a drum machine.
This is like trying to compare an apple to an orange, when in the end you find out each have different things that you like of each, apples are crunchy, oranges are soft, same thing with slash and bucketheàd, they both have individual traits that make them great, you cannot compare them however.
Leonardo Lanza I don't argue with idiots because they would just bring me down to their level and beat me by experience. You clearly have plenty of that
This is true but this video is just for fun. These people are both amazing guitar players, the person who made the video is comparing their different styles of playing guitar. To sum it up, I agree with you that they have their own traits/differences.
This is probably the worst video you could have grabbed of Buckethead. He had so many love performances where he goofs off and improvs, why pick this one?
Both are great musicians & both of them has inspired many people to play guitar. But as far as technical ability & skills are concerned, Buckethead is way ahead of Slash, there's not even any comparison. The man belongs to the group of legends like Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Andy James and so on..
Banyak yg bermain seperti Buckethead, ketika anda mendengarkan lewat sebuah radio ketika dia bermain, anda akan kebingungan siapa yg memainkan melodi itu.. Tapi ketika anda mendengarkan lewat radio ketika Slash memainkan melodi, anda akan segera tau kalau itu Slash, karena Slash mempunyai ciri khas.
@@ryotok4387 kalau mengcover semua yg mengcover jg tidak bisa menyerupai pemain aslinya, kita bicara ciri khas, makanya dengarnya melalui mp3 atau radio, jika anda tau yg memainkan melodi tersebut Buckethead, berarti dy punya ciri khas, kalau Slash ketahuan bro, walaupum beda nada, tp dr petikan dgn kecepatan jari ketahuan kalau yg mainin itu Slash... Kalau gk percaya coba kulik album PawnShope Guitars milik Gilby Clarke, disitu ada beberapa lagu yg melodinya diisi oleh Slash, kalau anda dengar semua lagunya, anda pasti tau lagu mana saja yg diisi Slash.
Primero hay que aclarar que cada uno tiene un estilo, Slash es más melodico y convencional, y Buckethead es menos convencional y muy tetrico, mas allá de su anonimato. Estuve escuchando tres horas a los dos guitarristas para poder decidirme por uno, osea, me tome el tiempo y trabajo para sacar una conclusión. Resumiendo el resultado de mi investigacion, Uno escucha una cancion de Slash y le gusta y intenta sacarlo él mismo o buscar una partitura ya que como dije antes es un estilo convencional el de Slash, pero cuando escuchas una canciona de Buckethead te encanta pero ni intentas buscar una partitura, ni intentas sacarla tu mismo, ya que es un estilo casi unico(Cuidado, no estoy diciendo que porque Slash tenga un estilo convencional no sea bueno, es creo que lo mejor de lo convencional). Osea, Buckethead puede hacer lo que hace Slash, pero Slash no podria hacer lo que hace Buckethead. Eso creo que lo hace mejor que Slash. Mi opinion no es profecional ya qie estoy hace poco en este mundo de las musica, de las guitarras, de los guitarrista y todo eso, pero aun asi creo que mi opinion cuenta.
Tecnicamente buckethead puede interpretar cualquier estilo, solo que el hace lo que le da la gana puesto que puede. En ciertos aspectos me recuerda a Hendrix, ojalá pueda madurar su musica y explotar todo su potencial.
I've once met buckethead on a live chatroom, and nobody believed it was him cause he didn't say a word.. I didn't even know who he was, so they somehow convinced him to play on his guitar to prove it was really him.. It was really him, and I've been a fan ever since.

And with the direction that music is heading now I doubt another one will ever come again. Buckethead was truly the last god of guitar that came from around my or my brothers generation. He is incredible and although slash is a great guitarist he does not hold a candle to that man with a KFC bucket on his head holding a rubber chicken.
Did u say buckethead has been around since the 60s?
Agreed. Slash is nowhere near the same league

The only thing that Slash and Buckethead have in common, is that they played in the same band.
And the hats!
Also, they both play the guitar.
They didnt play in the same band axl started a band named chinesse democracie thats where buckethead played wasnt even close to gnr
@@darcyherbert1145 Darcy please fact check yourself before telling someone else they are wrong. Chinese democracy is an album that was made by GNR and released in 2008. Buckethead was in GNR from 2000-2004 and his work can be heard on some songs in Chinese Democracy. Buckethead was the lead guitarist obviously
Ikr. Comparing them is a flawed concept from the start, BUT if i was gonna do a it, id just use them playing the same song. Not use two clips of them basically playing two entirely different fucking genres.
Buckethead has supreme skills, nobody can take that away, but Slash just oozes Rock and Roll
i really appreciate his writing contribution to apetite and their earlier albums. he and izzy we're serious players and they laid down some legendary music from the heart. im not into the hat or the flash ive seen slash he completely blew my mind. he came in on the back of the drum riser about 12 feet up on a scaffold and when the lights came up he was hitting his first chord in midair leaping off this scaffold right in front of me landing on a metal grille with lights and fans under it in cowboy boots like a complete rock god. ive learned to see him as a person now. buckethead doesn't impress me in the same way at all. im really no into his schtic its an act and he hides his face because hes insecure. hes a cool guy but he can't impress like a youthful slash in all his glory leaping off a 12 foot scaffold in the dark. mindblown. not so much for a bucket and an emotionless mask and a rubber chicken with his laptop and some backing tracks and a stretchy strap and a killswitch. not that impressive. its like a rock n roll circus sideshow if you ask me. and opener for bands that don't want to be outshined by their opening act. hes a second rate artist trying to get into the first rate business but that mask holds him back imo. he needs a real band to compete anyway that laptop is weak.

They both have different niches. Buckethead has always been a little more inventive when it comes to forwarding the state of electric guitar.

Nobody can beat Buckethead in creating music. While other guitarist is still playing their old hits, Buckethead is still making music, experiment with new sounds, and able to stay under radar is mind blowing.

Buckethead: playing guitar in ways nobody can figure out.
Fr lol
I think it has something to do with the strings....🤔
He just do hammer ons... One of the most simple things you can do on a guitar. Every guitarist does that
He uses a kill switch somewhat like how Tom morello plays but in a much more Buckethead style
I assume you're reffering to him playing with one hand, in which case that's really simple to figure out and what he's doing is just a slightly more conplex version of a technique used in many many songs
I'm a huge fan of both. Slash was my guitar hero growing up, and I have a real penchant for the blues and hard rock/metal. The way he conveys emotion makes him the best in hard rock. Bucket head is able to convey emotion in completely different styles, and he's not just a technical guitarist he's also a prolific musician.

One is a stereotypical rock star, the other a quiet & humble guitar legend.

Most ppl can’t get into instrumental music so he will never be as popular. He is totally fine with that as are his fans.

I sometimes forget how good Slash actually is. I think its pretty hard to compare the two. Slash is better in a natural, melodic, writing riffs that are widely popular and memorable way. Buckethead is better in a technical, speed, mathematical, Yngwie Malmsteen kind of way. If I wanted someone to try and win a competition for fasted playing or best theory Id pick Buckethead. If I wanted someone to write me a legendary riff and slaying solo that is marketable but also respected by guitarists Id pick Slash.
Situs. Well said
Don't comment if u don't know anything.
Yngwie Malmsteen? You lost any credibility you would have otherwise had right there. That guy is the definition of hack. He's nothing but a collection of tricks.
You really must hear buckethead albums and then see if you still think the same. I'll give you one: Albino Slug. That's legendary riffs and soloing 101. Thank me later.
All i'm gonna say is, in terms of legendary guitarists, slash in one of the all time most influential and well known guitarists of all time.
I mean, guns and roses, need i say more.
And in terms of guitar skill, shown in this video
one did technically difficult things to do on guitar against someone who did things most amateurs would find simple.
Both sounded good sure, both may have excellent songs sure, but in these two videos, one guy played very demanding and skillful stuff, the other guy did nothing difficult at all.

Buckethead has an advanced artistic concept, Slash is just a rocker playing blueslicks at double speed.
Are you saying that that's what he does all the time, like on every song or something, or are you just referring to the couple of times that it shows Slash perform in this compilation video?? Because this video does have/show a couple of completely different songs/performances by Slash and Buckethead in here tho too.
@@josephblanchard6248 he just mad bro 🤪
I love Bucket, and he's beyond talented on a technical level, but let me know when he writes a song half as iconic as anything on Appetite for Destruction. I see this comment all the time on Bucket videos and it gets so tiresome.
@@johnulcer Writing an iconic song doesnt make you a better guitarist
@@PotatoL001 That also depends upon how you define a "better" guitarist. Buckethead is a better (or, I should say, more technically precise and knowledgeable) guitarist than Slash, but Slash is a better songwriter and has a keener ear for melody and riffs. Bucket has yet to write a song on the level of Coma or Estranged. Slash also has an iconic sound and style -- you can immediately place a Slash riff or solo. The same cannot be said for Bucket. There's a reason one is a cult underground musician and the other is constantly ranked on all-time lists of best guitarists and has sold a ridiculous number of records. So yeah, if you sat them down Bucket could probably incorporate way more theory and scales than Slash but that doesn't necessarily make him a superior guitarist unless that's the only criteria you use to define such a thing.
I do genuinely love Bucket and listen to Electric Tears all the time but it's comparing apples to oranges in a sense and they have very different strengths and weaknesses.

Primero hay que aclarar que cada uno tiene un estilo, Slash es más melodico y convencional, y Buckethead es menos convencional y muy tetrico, mas allá de su anonimato. Estuve escuchando tres horas a los dos guitarristas para poder decidirme por uno, osea, me tome el tiempo y trabajo para sacar una conclusión. Resumiendo el resultado de mi investigacion, Uno escucha una cancion de Slash y le gusta y intenta sacarlo él mismo o buscar una partitura ya que como dije antes es un estilo convencional el de Slash, pero cuando escuchas una canciona de Buckethead te encanta pero ni intentas buscar una partitura, ni intentas sacarla tu mismo, ya que es un estilo casi unico(Cuidado, no estoy diciendo que porque Slash tenga un estilo convencional no sea bueno, es creo que lo mejor de lo convencional). Osea, Buckethead puede hacer lo que hace Slash, pero Slash no podria hacer lo que hace Buckethead. Eso creo que lo hace mejor que Slash.
Mi opinion no es profecional ya qie estoy hace poco en este mundo de las musica, de las guitarras, de los guitarrista y todo eso, pero aun asi creo que mi opinion cuenta.
You Habla ingles entonces yo no interpretar muy bien
ESO LO RESUME TODO : BUCKETHEAD PUEDE HACER LO QUE HACE SLASH , PERO SLASH NO PODRIA HACER LO QUE HACE BUCKETHEAD. MUY BUENA APRECIACION.

Tecnicamente buckethead puede interpretar cualquier estilo, solo que el hace lo que le da la gana puesto que puede. En ciertos aspectos me recuerda a Hendrix, ojalá pueda madurar su musica y explotar todo su potencial.

John 5 would give him a run for his money
@@mrmurphypiers1241 John Five is the best guitarist alive right now, he can play absolutely anything. Slash is a legendary guitarist, Buckethead is a great guitarist, but John Five is the best alive.
Can't forget about my man Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhoads
Slash: great rockstar
Buckethead: fucking great insane AND virtuoso guitarrist
Slash es el guitarrista icónico y legendario que todos quieren ser.
Bucket es un talento especial que inclusive puede ser de diversión.
Creo que ambos son necesarios... 🔥💙
Song name pls😢
@@vladyt5196 if it's the buckethead one then gory head stump
Buckethead is to guitar playing as Saitama is to anime.
Lul One Punch Man is not that great of an anime.
yeah, but saitama is the most OP character
Saitama and Goku combined. Unbearable power + Infinite stamina
@@lordmel394 Saitama is the level of Tao Pai Pai or King Picolo at most.
@@seedlesswatermelon417 Its a joke anime and the best one out there
The thing that just makes me go crazy is how effortlessly Buckethead plays it’s inhuman to me.
What if they're the same person they both have long curly hair
Slash is british and buckethead is American
What if Buckethead is actually a robot?
+Charlie5thumbs At this point I'm convinced Buckethead is actually a robot
yes - they are both buttheads
They don't have the same body
Anyone know where I can find the original video of slash??????????
