@@Ollie121299OnPC Everybody from Jeff Beck to Brian May to Jimmy Page to Joe Perry would disagree with you. Then again, you might be more qualified to judge than any of them.
I’ve seen slash with every act he’s toured with. Maybe about 10 shows altogether, I was at this show and the 3 1/2 hours they were on stage this night was the most fire I’ve seen him play with. This was just one of “those” shows where there was something extra special in the air
He's immortal! What made you think he's going to die anytime soon? Slash is one of the Rock and Roll Gods, he dies only if he says he wants to and so far he is not interesting in dying!
On what planet? The man is a confirmed and acknowledged legend. If you want to see underrated and unacknowledged then, you need to look at Lindsey Buckingham. Absolute guitar master. Most people have not heard of him. Not as many as have heard of Slash.
Finally a clip that shows how good he really is. It’s not about playing fast - he can do that for sure. However it’s the way he transpones the music from his his mind so clear and vivid
Anyone else notice how Slash cues the band in and out perfectly with a hand raise on the beat to both start and stop Johnny B Goode? Thats why the guy is such a legend on guitar & improvisation, he knows exactly where the beat is even after the flurry of notes he dished out!.
Slash, Thank you so much for keeping rock and roll alive. Rock and metal will never go away because the fans and the bands are the most devoted in the world. We don't follow trends. The best musicians in the world are in the rock and metal genre.
I was thinking in my head “it’d be really awesome if he went into The Godfather theme during this solo” and no more than 10 seconds later he did just that 😍
I met slash at top gear I ask to fill his hands to see how had his finger tips are from all the playing and ask him questions he has a bottle of wine 🍷 before he gose on stage and closes his eyes most of the time when on stage focusing on sound and timing
Incredibly talented! Makes the guitar roar with what seems like minimal effort. I had the pleasure of seeing him with Miles Kennedy in small venue in SLC about 10 years ago. Didn't disappoint - I was about 10 feet away from him and got to see him work his magic on the guitar the whole time!
The last truly great rock’n’roll guitarist in my books, keeping the spirit of the 70s hard rock guitar sound in check, just like the masters before him, Beck, Page, Clapton, Taylor. Slash has come one with them. Rock on Saul 🤘
Slash is the greatest guitarist ever ! He actually got better with the years ... man his playing is amazing ! I saw his twice with Velvet and once by himself and Once with Guns’n’Roses here in Australia 🇦🇺
5:47 this is the changing rythm and sound i was loving to hear in his albums when I was young. I'm a bit older now but still get freezed by his Awesome Music Feelings.
Such a natural, killer tone, signature feel, and knows when and how to let it RIP! Slash has always had that zip to his playing that transfixes you. 🎩🤘
he does this song great he is a phenomenal player seeing him up close like I did from 4th row I was "transfixed" as he was playing he is truly talented
Truly talented. Big wrap that. Seriously, it is great to hear but ua-cam.com/video/VREnEl1QuCw/v-deo.html is the best Johnny you will hear in a live performance if not ever. Pity no film of it.
Anyone saying Slash isn't a great player should watch this and eat their words... I might be biased having seen him perform live and will be seeing GnR in July, but come on, this takes talent...
What makes slash the living guitar god almighty:1. Feeling over technique2. Iconic - Mop of hair+tophat+les paul=slash3. Album sales4. Instantly recognisible tone and playing style5. Longevity6. Wide range of audience appeal7. Swagger & mystique8. Hes not an arrogant tosser9. Originality and subtlty of his composition10. He gives a song what it needs....
Thanks DD. These are my 10 criteria that i use to rate good players. Speed and technique are also obvious factors but all pro guitarists have those in some degree. Slash , Page & Hetfield are the only 3 i can think of who have all 10.
He's my favourite player of all time - you know it's him from one note. Also, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy - love it when Conan O'Brien calls him out on having the biggest heart out there
katie ironmonger aww i remember watching gnr live in Tokyo and a couple other vhs from waaaay back in the day and absolutely loved when he brought out his gold top and usually everytime he featured it he would play the godfather tune while axles changing clothes then axle pops back out and on to civil war lol
He sucks? Bullshit if ever there was any spoken for u not to appreciate the talent flowing from this guys pores ur obviously a gnr hater or something....one of the best all time period when everybody else was trying to sound like eddie van halen....a guitar god himself ....this dude hot the scene and shook up the world with his deep bluesey bending style and has never looked back....he will forever recognized by people who play such as myself as a motherfucking guitar icon
this isn't his orgininal goldtop, the orgininal one he used in Tokyo 92 he lost that goldtop now hes using another one with different pickups. The old one was one of the best guitars ive ever heard I don't really like this one
The tone of his guitar especially his gold top on the use your illusions tour is way better than it is nowadays I think. Back then the tone was rich, full of sustain and had almost a violin sound to it as can be heard in the godfather solo Tokyo '92. Heavenly.
One of the things I like about Slash is his love for the blues.
and for the godfather theme :)
you'd have the blues if you'd been to weston coyney
@@PortgasDAce-hm3rr lol all his music is blues inspired
You know you're a good guitarist when you know how to really play the blues. Which Slash doesn't !!!
@@guitarman8462 he played with some of the biggest names in blues included BB King, which you didnt 😆

Damn this guy’s good, he should join a band
Damn yeah
He should learn some theory first. All that wild pickin won't get him far
A band should join him
He looks like he loves guns but also a rose
dude ngl, he should go on a tour a few times, maybe become rich. He looks like he has got some talent. Perhaps he will try and become a legend
I liked the part where he played the guitar
You're back! 😃
But he played the guitar the entire time...

Absolutely
@@kingsofasphalt6549 i saw SMKC twice. Holy what a great band and a great Slash show. It's a must for a Slash fan
Fuck yes
Snake Pit: but it was hit and miss. Slash is exceptionally good at improving on covers.
He toured with myles kennedy i guess
Slash's les Paul after the solo: "you killed me Babe. I need a cigarette"
You could make fire with that guitar. One of the best of All time after jimmy hendrix and angus young
Few guitarists can improve in their later years the way that slash has devoted himself to. Always improving and broadening.
I totally agree with you on that

Slash decided to take lessons, and you see him deploy some licks here that you'd never have heard him play 10 or 20 years ago.
He’s always been the best.
It's because Slash's producer is pushing him to his limit (as stated in an interview almost 10 years ago)
People call slash overrated but honestly he has deserved all of the praise he has every received, really an amazing player.
It's all just pick waffle.
I would say he's actually underrated
@@Slash1066 Lmfao, no, definitely overrated. People need to see more before they decide on someone being the greatest. It's ridiculous lol.
I agree. There is also something called fairly rated
nobody here is saying slash is the greatest though

Either way he sodomized that sumbitch

We'd all live ripe and old if we reprogram the death cult programming given us all our lives....
amen
Once slash dies rock n roll will go with him
Slash must go on a diet.
He's immortal! What made you think he's going to die anytime soon?
Slash is one of the Rock and Roll Gods, he dies only if he says he wants to and so far he is not interesting in dying!
Sometimes I don't think a lot of people give Slash the credit he deserves for being a great guitar player
On what planet? The man is a confirmed and acknowledged legend. If you want to see underrated and unacknowledged then, you need to look at Lindsey Buckingham. Absolute guitar master. Most people have not heard of him. Not as many as have heard of Slash.

Finally a clip that shows how good he really is. It’s not about playing fast - he can do that for sure. However it’s the way he transpones the music from his his mind so clear and vivid
His most famous riff ("Sweet Child O' Mine") was just a finger exercise to him.
That's pretty dang special.
@@jcb3393 and Paradise City is what you would get if you were devastated enough to ask him to play as fast as possible
Exceptional. Slash has paid his dues and survived to become a living legend like no other.
Look at jimmi Hendrix johhny b good on UA-cam he's miles below jimmi and back to future bases this of jimmi
@@kiplupinetti3700point is slash is one of the goat guitarist 🤡 ✌️

If hes using my cheap epiphone, i'm sure it'll not just catch on fire, it'll explode. 😂😂😂

The fact that he finished with all 6 strings still in place amazes me.
@@pedropaulovidal5994 Exactly what I was thinking.

Not fast? Try: 2:21

This is probably my favorite guitar solo ever caught on camera. It's perfect.

Richard Binder hearts and minds, man
Slash has rock and roll spirit and correct you said "The best musicians in the world are in the rock and metal genre."
I'm hard rock fan too but I like some country artists and soul artists such as Alicia keys
Tell that to the 9 y old asian who can play moonlight sonata blindfolded.
🤘🤘🤘
I couldn't imagine the feeling of being onstage by myself like this wailing a guitar with thr crowd in awe! What a magnificent creature slash is!
It’s always fun to see when Slash gets excited and starts that little stomping action 😂 It’s funny and heartwarming.
I would love to watch him and Carlos Santana jam out together.
Doc Johnson so bluesy if that ever happened. Would be great.
There's musicians that have mastered the guitar, and then there's Slash.
You're right. Slash is just another ego. No more no less. But it has nothing to do with music. Just with ego.
Nobody, could write, record and play them like Page or Waters or Lennon and that is what makes a master of masters.
You need to go take a look at stevie vai and Yngwie Malmsteen, slash is good but will never be on that level

Totally agree, Slash is a living god as far as I am concerned
Come on bro! Chuck Norris taught Slash how to play guitar. Slash wanted to be cooler and play guitar better than his cousin Lenny Kravits
Anytime Slash is playing the blues I'm wishing I was there.
I was thinking in my head “it’d be really awesome if he went into The Godfather theme during this solo” and no more than 10 seconds later he did just that 😍
That gave me goose bumps
Tremendous
He usually does though didn't you know?
I bet you straight after he went into Sweet Child
I can't imagine being that good at anything. Kudos Slash

There Has ALWAYS Been Something About Slash's Playing That NEVER Gets Boring. BEST GUITARIST EVER.
I personally am convinced you never listened to Wes Montgomery. But...why argue withe something that has no point?
Mr E oh yeah what about angus young? Does thunderstruck ring a bell?
Mr E Sorry, but Stevie Ray Vaughan was/is the greatest guitar player ever
Sorry but it's got to be Eddie Van Halen
Doesn't hold a candle to Roy Clark or Glen Campbell
I knew Slash played great melodies, which is what I love most about his playing...but I didn't know he could play so fast. He makes it look so easy.
And this is why Slash is my favorite guitar player
