Buckethead Nightrain Solos 

Sad but true Oh sorry this is not a video about metallica

Buckethead must have felt sorry for these guys !

What are you even saying, no one knew buckethead before GNR and no one knows him since he left, and he cant touch Slash's work

@@alexisgabriel5468 Slash is unique, but buckethead is unique too

@@alexisgabriel5468 No, You didn't know him before GNR...BH is a brilliant guitarist but he's not made for a band setting...He not only touched slashes work he played it better than he ever could. Slash is a very good guitar player....not a great guitarist!

+Xel'lotath What are you talking about? Big B is a robot, not a human, we all know this.

yeah Slash did the same,always different,but Bucket playing it like from other world,and both styles i love

Wise words

Laura Mounier he can play piano bass guitar violin and he used to sing pretty badly

He played the same solo like 20 times in this video...

Hell yes

totally crazy and perfect man

It's the one from Albany, NY. He caught lightning in a bottle!

2:46

Awesomeness

The reason I'm listening right now. I heard it years ago. Wanted to hear it again. The only version that holds up to Slash's... dare I say it's better? No... but as good as the second greatest outro of all time? I think so. (Best outro goes to Fade to Black. I just can't say anything is as good. Not even GNR)

19 years later, Still humming..

hybrid picking!

@@JayRebel maybe you don't know what improvisation is

@@JayRebel dude even slash doesn't play it as written (he could though,obviously). playing the same piece of musci over and over again gets boring for true musician's. even slash mixes it up pretty much everytime, because that's what an artist does.

@@JayRebel Slash is overrated garbage, cry about it

@@Weezable_x one memorable bucket head riff?

@@Weezable_x yeah because youre such a huge accomplishment in your own universe😒

Not an alien but a BOT

I miss buckethead

@@victordigalia3598 yes me too but slash is well too much said already!

someone after(around 6:29) take it too and Bucket looked at him

Maybe on a technical level, but Bucket has been writing music for decades now, and has yet to come close to producing a single song as successful as most of Slash's material. This isn't a knock against Bucket. I'm a fan. But he's more of a technical and avant-garde guitarist, and comparing him to Slash is like comparing Frank Zappa to Eric Clapton or something. It's just a whole different mindset and approach to the music. Buckethead is very talented at guitar and could probably play circles around Slash in terms of scales and obscure jazz chords, but Slash has such a signature, unmistakable sound and identity that unfortunately Bucket just doesn't have. And Bucket produces a lot of wandering jam tracks (which I dig as background music) but he doesn't have a single riff that the general public would recognize in the same way that Slash does. You can get into the weeds on whether mainstream success equals quality and vice versa, but ultimately Buckethead will not go down in history books the way Slash has. That being said I love the guy and really admire his skill. I think the solo for "There Was a Time" is one of the best of all-time. But people get so hung up on "Slash doesn't know theory!" and it's like yeah, but did Bucket write a song half as memorable as Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child? It's just not a comparison imo.

Well yes... Slash is good but buckethead is god.

Buckethead is the G.O.A.T

Truly G.O.A.T!

@@johnulcer Yeah because he doesn't want to, he literally turned down a sony deal that couldve brought him millions

I fully fucking agree

They are lost w/o BH, he makes the music top notch.

Por mais que eu tenha achado o Buckethead esplêndido nesse solo, mostrando como ele é bom no que faz, o Slash não é só o que você acha. Dá uma olhada: Guns N' Roses live Argentina (se não me engano, a de 93). Cara, o solo de Nightrain é simplesmente insano, sem conta todas as vezes em que o Slash sola com Double Talkin' Jive. Eu gostei desses vídeos do Bucket porque não sabia que ele era tão bom, mas ver o pessoal rebaixando o Slash é um pouco decepcionante

Yes, good idea. And should also be DJ Ashba

Estuve pensando un poco recién cuando me di cuenta lo siguiente. Yo soy de Argentina, los Guns tocaron el Viernes y el Sabado pasado (edito este pequeño detalle que me olvide de mencionar, yo fuí al recital del Sabado). Yo pienso esto: si hubiese aparecido Buckethead (a quien amo) arriba del escenario en vez de Slash, hubiese sido completamente abucheado, ni que hablar de todo lo que le hubiesen tirado. El argentino que fue a ver a los "viejos Guns", ni se debe de acordar de Buckethead, la gran mayoría seguramente ni lo conoce (como mucho un 5% de los que fueron lo conocen). Y me pongo a pensar, que no sabría que hacer en ese momento, porque yo a Buckethead escucho desde 2008, desde que lo conocí, y estar en esa situación, afortunadamente, no me tocó estar. Me refiero a la hostilidad de la gente de acá con alguien completamente singular y desconocido, me agarraría a piñas con medio mundo.

Eduardo Roizarena lo vi en rosario me encantó el show genial, lo único que criticaria? la fuerza que perdieron los temas del chinese democracy con slash y sus arreglos, los vi en 2011 y ese disco tenía una fuerza un virtuosismo distinto a lo de slash y todo eso lo puso bucket en ese disco colaboro en todas las canciones y grabó 11 solos para ese disco, pueden reconocer sus arreglos y estilo there was e time o beter, irs o Madagascar, slash ni en pedo toca eso, ron tal si los ejecutaba perfectos, me olvidaba el lugarteniente de bucket en ese momento era Robin fink buen guitarrista

Roy Williams Although it hurts DJ Ashba was very applauded and worked with Axl very well for several years.

Knocks all the others out of the water... especially the outro

If that wasn't enough , dude ended up sliding not only a note but a whole chord flawlessly

Excellent**

What kind of logic is that?

@@gerardmichael8523 it's like this! Slash is a 1 demintiinal guitarist as where Buckethead is a multi demintiinal artist. Period. Two totally different levels of talent!

@@kennethmcnamara2098 I guess you're the judge of all talent then. You're just a hater. Buckethead is small potatoes

@@gerardmichael8523 Lol.Sorry bro were not even in the same market place no matter what size the potatoes might be!!

in my opinion..I think that buckethead has not done anything as good as the songs, for example, sweet child of mine

that's how it should be done.drums,bass and guitars all combined together.there was such a great bands in the 80's that doesn't get the value/attention what they deserved,especially this /watch?v=FcMuebiWraY

Yes I agree with you. 80's bands rock! GNR is one of my top 3 Fav bands! But as a musician, Buckethead is a lot better. He can play styles like Slash, he can play styles like Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Van Halen. He's the biggest innovator in the Avant Garde genre. He's badass. Don't get me wrong, I love Slash but I don't see how people think he's more talented at guitar. I feel Bucket deserves more respect because you can tell how much he practices. BTW Sweet Child of Mine (great song) was written because Slash was "Fucking around". I can't really respect that but whatever

And again, sorry to keep ranting, but I was in everyone else's position 2 years ago. I absolutely hated Buckethead for no reason and thought Slash was so much better. But if you really look into a lot of his work (and not just Soothsayer and Jordan) you'll be amazed. I'm not saying you'll hate Slash, I'm just saying that you'll have more respect.

Buckethead is a class of his own, way better than Slash ever was. I love him to the bone.

80s heavy metal/ glam

Same.. and this was far before i knew bucket head existed.

40 veces lo escuché en un solo día

That's because the people that say that about BH are emotionless...

BH are emotionless , or slash is trash?

@@JayRebel seems you do, aren’t you? Maybe you are one of those Slash fanboys who likes to spin around bis balls , no matter how shit he is! Get a grip!

100% agreed, best GNR lineup ever!

the original member irreplaceable, but this line up is the best

That would be slash coming with a knife to a gun fight...😅

​@@i.m.22Because you think technical proficiency is all that matters. Slash has feeling and soul, because he's a mix of rock and blues, and his jam session with Zakk Wylde is a perfect example of this. You think because Buckethead plays fast he's better... Lol!

@@kingkonggordy Buckethead has everything. Period

@@kingkonggordy There are a Lot of Guys that can Play fast and that gives me nothing. Buckethead is really Something else, he can Play super technical ans fast but also has the feel to implement that ability to make a memorable solo. Lets be serious, his nighttrain Solos are way better than anything Slash could ever pull off....

Slash no es un virtuoso para nada

Que razon tienes tronko amamos a buckedhead😊😊😊❤

Slash does not write nightrain...stupid

Have you heard of Guthrie Govan? He’s really good too. Check out The Aristocrats - Boing, We’ll Do It Live! if you haven’t already.

govan sucks, is fucking boring jerk

Trey Azagthoth, Ron Thal, Michael Angel Batio ??

For me he is an animal to big for that kind of stages
