BUCKETHEAD IS SLASH

[zylstra]

is this true? im going to see one of his shows this friday and its in the paper and he looks like slash, plays a guitar that looks like slashes, and the caption said he used to be a member of guns n roses.....

but does anybody know for certain

 

[j-d-s]

Negative. Slash's real name is Saul Hudson i think. and i know that slash's name is Brian carrol.

but both slayyyyy on the g tar

 

[Inbred_Redneck]

Not at all. Slash isnt the crazy guy that buckethead is, and his playing style is way diffrent than Slash's. You can't even compare the two.

 

[j-d-s]

oh and slash was the original guitarist for gunners where as bucket head was their guitarist when Axl went a bit ga ga. Slash is now with velvet revolver im pretty sure.

 

[TeamJones]

Very different style. Plus I highly doubt Slash is as tall as Buckethead is.

 

[zylstra]

[TeamJones]

With the bucket he's something like 7'. That's still pretty tall without it.
