@@MrKaiyooo quantity versus quality? I don't remember bucket head being part of the largest rock band that ever existed for its time. 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.
They’re both legends and have inspired countless people to pick up a guitar. We’re lucky to live in an era where we got to hear each of them do their thing.
true story :) saw slash play with GNR back during use your illusion. it was faith no more, metallica then guns. axl was an ass like usual but the concert was good. I love BH. He is phenominal, would love to see him live if he ever comes to glasgow. He makes it look so effortless I would love to see what faces he's making under the mask though lol. You know slash is working hard and living in it by the looks he gives :)
@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.
@Nick Martin if you think you are being trolled the you know nothing about music.....Roy Clark would have ran both of them into the ground. Do a little research, watch a video or two.

Bruh, why can’t you just accept the fact that they’re both good? I’ve seen you post this same comment so many times on this video that it’s literally insane.
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.
@@rmrm1002 yeah i think he just mentions him in interviews but only when they mention him to slash or they remind him of buckethead by going back and talking about axl and all that
Both are great! Slash looks like he’s pouring his soul into his guitar to make amazing music, Buckethead does it while mimicking Neo from the matrix when he realizes he can stop bullets
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
Could slash improvise something in pentatonic scales that buckethead couldn’t? Yes. Buckethead has a chromatic style where slash has a pentatonic style.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
Playe guitar in many bands, TV and large live crowds successfully and I'm a songwriter. Every time I watch Buckethead for more than 15 minutes I really want to take up bricklaying. Genius.
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.
Buckethead is incredible and is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but thats no reason to abuse slash, who in his own right is a very skilled guitarist.
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....
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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: th-cam.com/video/VsMKp7SaPKU/w-d-xo.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.
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.
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.
***** When I say soul I mean in the way of Steve Cropper, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Joe Perry. Something that was presnet in Rock / R&B in the 60s and 70s and that was not present in 80s Hard Rock until Slash brought it back. When I listen to Bucket Head I hear prefect technique but I don't FEEL a thing. It's just TOO perfect.
@@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.
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?
There is no BH vs Slash. There is just BH and Slash. There is no basis for comparison when presenting two entirely different life forms. One human, the other clearly not.
i don't think slash can see over his huge pile of money. he probably doesn't really care about that shit he and buckethead are probably good bros. you're all so silly with this fanboy nonsense.
@@TurqSamurai from what I've heard from his book he grew up pretty well off in Hollywood. His mother was a publicist I believe or worked in the industry as an artist doing album covers. His mother dated David Bowie for a while. I don't think he was as poor as you think
@@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.
Both are great, but Buckethead is from another planet. Also, this video doesn't give Buckethead his due. Whoever made this chose a pretty shitty clip compared to how good Buckethead actually is.
Doesn't give his due? Before that video, I was about 50/50. But after seeing this (as I found out later, only a bit above average song for Buckethead) I can honestly say: Buckethead is waaay above Slash. And actually... in this video Bucket isn't all above speed (as some people say). Shreds actually slower than Slash (just comparing these two recordings in this video), but still more creative music.
Aaron Szechter Watch a live version of Jordan, Buckethead shows his speed there. He is almost on the level of Malmesteem there in terms of speed (he beats Malmesteem in just about every other way though).
Jebus I know that bro. Im just saying about this particular video. And Malmsteen is amazing, but only up to 3 videos you see him in. Then you realize he's playing everything the same way.
Slash is good, he plays with feel and led one of the most successful rock and roll bands of all time. But you just can't compare him with motherfucking Buckethead.
lol 99% of the people saying Slash is better than Buckethead are not even musicians / never ever ever touched a guitar before. All the arguments against Buckethead are about his fuckin outfit... like Slash does not wear a fuckin hat as big as Brian's bucket ( yea... he has a name too ) Just listen to soothsayer, binge and grab, i love my parents, electric tears and many of his work which, by the way, is far more 'generous'... he released 180 albums and appeared on many other ocasions. I'm not saying that I don't like Slash's work, he has his own feel that's unique in a way, but fuuuuck me, there's no way he's better than Buckethead. do your homework people, stop hating if you don't know. :)
Duuude.....just because you are so educated and know everything about music....Ill tell you something....whatever this bastard buckethead played is not music he took a guitar pluged in 10 effect pedals and played the same fucking thing over and over.....You are the one who should start reading some music books.....
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.
"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...
@@kristoferramirez1966 exactly...that's what I have been saying for years....I have developed an equation that expresses that fact..faster playing speed = better guitar player...no matter your opinion you can't argue with the math......
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.
there is no comparison.... slash and has great epic solos in whats considered popular music... buckethead on the other hand its just godly... his level and knowledge and the amount of styles he can play... its otherwordly... its almost overwhelming so yea... no comparison
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
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.
Chill out guys, the buckethead fan boy is strong with these ones. But seriously both guys are amazing guitarists and try to respect to respect others opinions.
The thing is the "buckethead fanboys" have probably heard 90% of slashes material before making the judgement. And even buckethead fans have probably only heard maybe 50% of HIS material BECAUSE buckethead has anywhere from about 350-500 HOURS of material released and for sale. Some of those records are one-off's written for ONE person and with only one copy made. He sold custom albums made personally for you for 50$ about 10 years ago. And made about 10 of them I've read. Buckethead fans figure slash fans have heard maybe about 2% of bucketheads material before making a judgement. SO that's why dude. that's why.
I hate comparisons like his as they’re both very different players. Slash’s Tone and bluesy licks are soulful with a ton of emotion, BH is a technical sorcerer who’s speed and style count is unreal. It’s like comparing EVH to Hendrix…….two amazing players who changed the game, but very very different. It’s a dumb as the Metallica vs Megadeth debate. Just enjoy all he great music by them and stop comparing them all to each other.
***** slash is kid with guitar .... in front of Buckethead !!!!! he is genius ... by far best guitar talent on this planet right now !!!!! check out his solo studio albums ...Electic sea, Electric tears ,Colma, Population Override, Albino Slug, It's Alive then you will change your opinion !!!!!
slash is a talented musician (his music makes sense)....buckethead yeah he is infact good but he makes a bunch of random ass noises which is not music (its called crap)...kinda how i sound when i take a crap :)
michael kleynhans Right... as i said before listen to Electric tears then tell me he makes bunch of random noises that sound like crap. If you want to compare two players, at least research them both before making shitty comments like that.
natedrak3 all right saying he should listen electric tears... but NOTHING in this universe get's close to Animal behavior outro. Slash will never be able to put that special deep out of this universe feeling into a solo that BH can. proof: Sail on Soothsayer, padmasana, Mrs. Beasley, interworld and the new innocence, maggot dream, the way to heaven, baptism of soltitude, pike 93, pike 65, sanctum (and the rest of colma album), earth heals herself, too many humans, plastination station, Aunt suzie, pike 15, scraps, Blind cyclops, ropelight, pike 13, the patrolman, Soothsayer, the sky is heavy, Dawn appears, .... keep in mind these are just some of those without shredding, keeping in mind that slashfans usually don't like it... with shredding it just gets more epic and sometimes even more feeling. But what's most remarkable is how he manages to improvise his live solo's. not going to try explaining as it's impossible. He has alot of garbage, but if you dig out the good stuff, you're in an endless goldmine.

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.

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.

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.
isn't most of what Buckethead plays just him fucking around? I mean the guy has immense technical ability
obviously Lucas Marques is a Slash fanboy
i think you may be right
Chris Kounterstrike totally agree.
Mauri J Sanabria who isn't a slash fan boy
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.
You can't beat Buckethead. The guys got speed, rhythm and melody. He's one of a kind for sure.🤘

+Skage-Z-7 Don't forget gimmick. Buckethead brings a lot of gimmick.

***** When I say soul I mean in the way of Steve Cropper, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Joe Perry. Something that was presnet in Rock / R&B in the 60s and 70s and that was not present in 80s Hard Rock until Slash brought it back. When I listen to Bucket Head I hear prefect technique but I don't FEEL a thing. It's just TOO perfect.

Doesn't give his due? Before that video, I was about 50/50. But after seeing this (as I found out later, only a bit above average song for Buckethead) I can honestly say: Buckethead is waaay above Slash.
And actually... in this video Bucket isn't all above speed (as some people say). Shreds actually slower than Slash (just comparing these two recordings in this video), but still more creative music.
Aaron Szechter Watch a live version of Jordan, Buckethead shows his speed there. He is almost on the level of Malmesteem there in terms of speed (he beats Malmesteem in just about every other way though).

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.
Olivia Peihopa cringe
Olivia Peihopa Uhh not even close. Buckethead is stupid, why do you think Slash is back?
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.
Well said man
Listening to everything that Buckethead has ever released is my entire bucket list.
Mindmelting!
"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...
Hold me forever is my favorite pike
Slash VS Buckethead? Why not my grandma VS Steve Vai? Bwahahaha. Slash is good. Buckethead is a master of everything. Not even close.
Well... Both played for GNR that's why (btw many people didn't like the way Buckethead played songs like November Rain and Nightrain and stuff ... )
@@adamzeller1399 his/hers grandmother did NOT play in G n R! You're an idiot if you believe that...
tiene razon! Slash es un buen guitarrista pero Buckethead es un virtuoso...
You obviously dont know anything about guitars. Typical, the one with a fastest hand is the best one right? Lol
@@kristoferramirez1966 exactly...that's what I have been saying for years....I have developed an equation that expresses that fact..faster playing speed = better guitar player...no matter your opinion you can't argue with the math......
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
Anyone know where I can find the original video of slash??????????
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.
Slash is more creative and plays with feel, whereas Buckethead is more technical.
Omar Aguilera
I couldn’t have said it better.
@@idk4529 he isnt actually, you gotta know soothsayer
MC Terry Majid baptism of solitude, swomee swan, clearly you’ve never listened to a buckethead track in your life
@@idk4529 actually bukethead's music is more creative and more experimental
I am stone cold old school but BH is a genius. (drug free)
Yes; I wish I could play like Slash...
But I dream of being able to play like BH.
Bh is Hendricks stle
I don't even think this comparison did justice for Buckethead, dudes a master!
there is no comparison.... slash and has great epic solos in whats considered popular music... buckethead on the other hand its just godly... his level and knowledge and the amount of styles he can play... its otherwordly... its almost overwhelming so yea... no comparison
I'm literally laughing my ass off at this video.
It's like comparing John Petrucci to Kirk Hammett.
someone had to say it lol
fuck john petrucci
Lol... that's very interesting though both can't be comapred. BH for life.
were two of those names? and were you complimenting slash or "buckethead"?
PAPA FRANKU buckethead all the way...isnt kinda obvious?
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
Absolutely! This comparison should never have been made. Bet Slash hates this topic.
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.
What is the Slash song?
@@XD-xe3ir"shine on you crazy diamond" maybe?)🤔
Tal cual
Buckethead: he created his name and fame by himself.
Slash: Without GnR is Just one blues guitarrist more.
skill wise i go bucket but creativity and writing is slash
No.
i mean in pure speed and dexterity
Thats why slash has over 500 hours worth of music released...
Wait no that's buckethead.
Chill out guys, the buckethead fan boy is strong with these ones. But seriously both guys are amazing guitarists and try to respect to respect others opinions.
The thing is the "buckethead fanboys" have probably heard 90% of slashes material before making the judgement. And even buckethead fans have probably only heard maybe 50% of HIS material BECAUSE buckethead has anywhere from about 350-500 HOURS of material released and for sale. Some of those records are one-off's written for ONE person and with only one copy made. He sold custom albums made personally for you for 50$ about 10 years ago. And made about 10 of them I've read.
Buckethead fans figure slash fans have heard maybe about 2% of bucketheads material before making a judgement.
SO that's why dude. that's why.
I hate comparisons like his as they’re both very different players. Slash’s Tone and bluesy licks are soulful with a ton of emotion, BH is a technical sorcerer who’s speed and style count is unreal. It’s like comparing EVH to Hendrix…….two amazing players who changed the game, but very very different. It’s a dumb as the Metallica vs Megadeth debate. Just enjoy all he great music by them and stop comparing them all to each other.
Slash is good but overrated... Buckethead is genius, number 1
***** Oh really? Then this must be the only Buckethead piece you've ever heard. Listen to Electric sea and then try to tell me he's emotionless.
***** slash is kid with guitar .... in front of Buckethead !!!!! he is genius ... by far best guitar talent on this planet right now !!!!! check out his solo studio albums ...Electic sea, Electric tears ,Colma, Population Override, Albino Slug, It's Alive
then you will change your opinion !!!!!
slash is a talented musician (his music makes sense)....buckethead yeah he is infact good but he makes a bunch of random ass noises which is not music (its called crap)...kinda how i sound when i take a crap :)
michael kleynhans
Right... as i said before listen to Electric tears then tell me he makes bunch of random noises that sound like crap. If you want to compare two players, at least research them both before making shitty comments like that.
natedrak3 all right saying he should listen electric tears... but NOTHING in this universe get's close to Animal behavior outro.
Slash will never be able to put that special deep out of this universe feeling into a solo that BH can.
proof: Sail on Soothsayer, padmasana, Mrs. Beasley, interworld and the new innocence, maggot dream, the way to heaven, baptism of soltitude, pike 93, pike 65, sanctum (and the rest of colma album), earth heals herself, too many humans, plastination station, Aunt suzie, pike 15, scraps, Blind cyclops, ropelight, pike 13, the patrolman, Soothsayer,
the sky is heavy, Dawn appears, ....
keep in mind these are just some of those without shredding, keeping in mind that slashfans usually don't like it...
with shredding it just gets more epic and sometimes even more feeling.
But what's most remarkable is how he manages to improvise his live solo's. not going to try explaining as it's impossible. He has alot of garbage, but if you dig out the good stuff, you're in an endless goldmine.
Next Fred durst vs Lil Wayne
Worst guitarist ever
Two completely different guitarists!! Two different styles! Both very technically proficient! 🤘🏻
wrong, wrong and wrong. Even Slash admits that he "couldn't even play himself out of a paper bag - let alone a KFC bucket."
Slash was my teenage guitar idol, Buckethead is my adult guitar idol.
Agreed.
R A C I S M E D
same
Slash is so overrated people don't care about he's guitar playing the cared about he's hair and the hat he wears
hahaha. it’s so true
