    Slash was inspired by blues and hard rock guitarists. Buckethead was inspired by the music of the aliens who abducted him as a child.

Oh yeah that's right He's good enough to play in that band when they need to replace a guitar player but not good enough to actually write the material and get famous for it. I'm more impressed by Slash's writing ability than anything else. I haven't heard one piece of music by Buckethead that even approaches the musicality and real sense of musicianship that / possesses. Buckethead is a great player he's technical he's been a session player he reproduces his own music on and on and on he's not slash. Music isn't a competition. We have opinions.

    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.

    • @TerrysQuest

      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!

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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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.
