Slash VS Brian May

[octysa]

Son solos muy distintos, pero para mi es mejor slash. ahora lo que si slash se copio de gilmour y brian may y jendrix y muchisimos guitarristas eso lo hce el mejor actualemnte.

[jajefa15]

brian may!

[RhythmBulzara]

Slash learned how to play guitar like a pro by watching Brian. Brian May wins!!!

[skulldevil95]

slash!!

[mercury2mx]

brian may sonido unico, salsh guitarrista como muchos

[aydooknow]

sorry slash, but brian is in an entirely different league

[weljkowic97]

slash

[gunswql]

slash Forever

[Ikarus095]

Brian May !!! Perfect !

[AnnieVictory]

Slash is a guitar god, but Brian is much more...

[hammetaqpnaujsol]

May is the Slash's master

[allthingsclassicrock]

[ssunshine808waikiki]

brian



[GwEJeffHardy]

BRIAN MEY IS THE BEST

[MartN777]

both

[irinayugiohfan]

Slash sucks, he is the most overrated guitarist ever. BRIAN MAY IS THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!! HE IS MY GUITAR HERO! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[DontRespondImStupid]

0:15 to 0:20 wow, i have never heard that progression before. lil wayne.

[Paul8820]

I used to like slash but Brian May is my absolute favorite out of the two not even close.

[MrStevieevil]

slash is a guitar god though,if anyone disagrees,post your solo here..

[MrStevieevil]

brian may and slash need a head on brighton rock/november rain solo fest. I suspect may will win,just.

[ArtInMusica]

ahaha ! Oh my God! obviously the better of the two is Brian May! Slash is a clown! But the last photo of Brian May is Pat Metheny!ahahahaha! and this makes me doubt about the musical knowledge of those who responded! ahahaha

[gianniskavalagr83]

Dr. Sir Brian May !!!

[mauriciojpgs]

jajajajj no comparen al gran Brian May con slash Brian esta en otro level muchisimo mas alto que slash (ojo soy fanatico de los guns y slash pero sinceramente Brian es otro level)

[hendrixslashmay]

slash's solo have more emotion, however they are just simple pentatonic and blues scales

however brians are not as emotional bust more complex in the way they are written.

i dont like comparing them, they are good in their own way :)

[lopez8098]

es mejor brian may



[lopez8098]

es mejor brian

[Lehadima95]

of course Brian- longer play the guitar and he's awesome :D

[RHMETAL]

Brian May.

[Alejandrocc1994]

Brian makes his guitar speaks.

[winnetouch]

There's far more to music than just speed and techinque. I think Brian thrumps Slash simply because he's a better WRITTER rather than a player. Saying one is a better player than the other is almost impossible since they are both among the best, but being a guitarist is far more than just PLAYING. So Brian wins for me.

[paul1990ify]

I' m a Guns N' Roses & Queen fan but Slash is the best guitarrist in the world

[tritaeus]

Brian May - there's more behind the music ;)

[VictorShakur96]

jajaja oviamente brian may el no es solo mejor guitarrista si no mejor musico , slash es buen guitarrista pero no es mas que un "guitarrista de imagen" ya que el es mas mercadotecnia que musica -.- brian may para mi es de los mejores guitarristas :)

[tuzo2010]

BRIAN MAY - better mucision.

[Codude180219]

To think Slash wasn't one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists according to the Rolling Stone! Whoever thinks they're a bunch of !@#$%^&*()s gimme thumbs up!

[AmigoFiell]

slash is jesus and brian is god

[amykid92]

can't decide who's the best but i prefere brian may .. i like his tone more

[frogsroxmysoxalot]

SLASH LOVE~

[iceman6716]

two different types ov music, both as good as each other at there type ov music but i can safly say i havent heard anyone play anywhere as good as these two from this generation

[iceman6716]

two different types ov music both are excellent and i can safely say i havent heard anyone from this generation play anywhere as near as good as either ov these to

[salomonniux]

Brian may :)

[Hdrumcals]

Bray is the best guitar ever... no one can play music like him...

[mathhias42]

diferent styles.there's nothis to compare

[leilaniannemarie]

Slash all the way dud but thats my opinion

[Paul8820]

Brian May is the best way better than slash. I like slash but Brian was always better. An excellent singer, good songwriter. Better performer.

[KingdomOfNothing]

Slash and I agree that Brian May is the better of the two. Go back to the first three Queen albums and you'll hear a very different side to Brian's playing. His phrasing is always exceptional, but he actually was ripping back then.

[9THEPHENOM]

and are diferent styles of music

[therealrensNL]

can't compare actually, complete different artists..

[shpfask]

0:35 is pat metheny i think, not brian may. still, the solos are well picked :)

[DrumThat1]

@shpfask That's a Queen song.

[camotines]

Brian clean technique and sound

Slash dirty technique and sound

[lmeletrica2]

the music mode is diferent the two guitarrist are good but you cant compare but i think slash is better SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH MY LEGEND YOU ARE THE ONLY REASON OF MY LIFE

[AIG96]

slash is afraid of Brian May!

[cudaguy74]

Brian May is God of Guitar, Slash is good but if he is better why does he and GNR worship Brian like they do???

[GibsonSg1275]

Not comparable. There both good in there own ways!! Does anyone know what the name of the first brian may song was?

[Freddie1980]

@GibsonSg1275 - If you mean the song in this video it's 'I want it All', if you mean the first song he ever wrote I think it was either 'Polar Bear' or 'See what a fool I've been' when he was with Smile although he also co-wrote 'Doing Alright' with Tim Staffell. Or if you mean he first song he wrote with Queen it would have been 'Keep yourself Alive' from Queen I (love that song).

As for the comparison don't make me choose please I luv both although lets be fair Mays catalogue is larger.

[GibsonSg1275]

@Freddie1980 Thanks! And yea i agree

[Alerasmo]

Brian is better 40 years ago

[iSlash96]

Guns N Roses is better, slash is better!

[PalatHar]

Brian - just because Queen´s songs are better than those from GaR, but both play the guitar really well

[williamprimosilva]

these disputes do not like the brian always wins kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Rockstarken16]

brian may the LEGEND..one of my favorite guitarist...]

..Queen is my fathers favorite band..

[PicKPiT]

@leojack123 well my friend let me tell you something

Brian mastered the delays, invented sounds (millions of them) including making an orchestra with ONE GUITAR. He was the first guitarrist to write solos with 2 or more guitars (white queen, killer queen)

Slash had a perfect tone and mastered the bends. he could make a melody sound beatiful and yet at the same time powerful (november rain, estranged)

They are both great and very different. Cant compare them since they are on the same level

[leojack123]

nao tem nem o que comparar o brian num chega nem perto do slash

ele e bom mais o slash e o senhor da guitarra pelo amor

voces sao fan do queen so por isso o cara tem que ser o melhor

nao sabem reconhecer o valor de um guitarris

[kevqueenrocks]

@leojack123 FUCK YOU BITCH . SLASH IS SHIT COMPARATD TO BRIAN MAY PLEASE GO TO SCHOOL

[mercuryatwembley]

BRiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[kiler2436]

i think it's obviously that brian is better. we can't compare them two cause brian is in another league.

[1ranby1]

don't compare the two,obviously brian is a legend and have more experience than slash but slash also show to the people how to play the guitar with such feelings and melody..they are both great and come from two great bands..but gnr can't beat queen..

[kwunnkzz]

Slash=Amazing guitarist

Brain=The best guitarist ever!!

[memitoooooooooo]

slash es basura frente a brian

[BrunettiGnr]

nãão existe comparação seus babacas são estilos diferentes mas mesmo assim Slash é uma lenda viva eo melhor guitar man da história merece reverencias sem desmerecer o mr. Brian May é claro que tbm foi um icone .

mas Slash IS BETTER ♥

[MrAppolo777]

Who The Hell is that guy on 0:35???

[Pablito73X]

@MrAppolo777 Pat Metheny?

[MrAppolo777]

@Pablito73X Then What the hell is he doing here?? o I get it I get it, Hes Curly 2 right?

[SkilletBoNkErS]

@MrAppolo777 Brain May When He Was Young.

[pablofpa]

there is no such "vs". DO not create competition where doesn´t exist.....but peacefull complementation

[zoooing]

both are the best

[Linnung]

what the hell happend to brian at 0:31 .. hahaha! wrong picture :P

[tdrider2008]

both are amazing and have amazing solo's

[chahill79]

lame comparisons... glad they both existed. those who are limit themselved to be, those who are not want to be the best.

[tdrider2008]

@chahill79 ya there were many better songs for each

[shadai5g]

bryan is the best!!!!

[Adamphillips100]

slash i think

[queenfanmichel]

Both the bestof the world but Brian is a little better

[moltenhorizon]

I looooooove Brian May... but... Lol a 30 seconds... that's Par Metheny, not Brian on the pic!

[SlashWorshipper1993]

Brian May obviously, Slash is a beginner compared to this guy. Also, Queen are the best band so obviously Brian is going to be better. :)

[1GNRslash]

Slash !!

[TrippleMr]

Slash and Brian May

50%  / 50%

[9rock4]

why didnt you show nightrain for slash? or if you wanted to show a slow solo,, how about estranged?

[SaintDemetrio]

Brian May of course!!!

[Bleudour]

There are both great guitarists but i prefer Brian.

[AguanteGunsNRoses96]

I' m a Guns N' Roses fan but Brian is the best guitarrist ever!!!!!!

[vertiz95]

@AguanteGunsNRoses96 best is hendrix and page but yeah brian may is better than slash

[28Amaru28]

wie kann man nur ??

sie sind beide legenden und überhaupt nicht zu vergleichen

sie sind beide auf ihre art unschlagbar

aber bitte bitte niemals miteinander vergleichen

böse

[zeppelin1996]

May hands down. There is no competition here.

[Queenmaniaco666]

0:31 Is Brian May ??????? HAHAHAH hey boy, take care with your videos okay ?

[Typhoon792]

Brian May of course. There's not even anything to speculate. Brian May has a ridiculous variety, unique style of expression, and so much thought in the music he makes.

[toxicpizza72]

"Gong-Gong"..Total Knockout to Brian May..And an ambulance for eeh,The man on the floor with the flat,messed up stupid hat ! LOL LOL

[joshybell1]

may

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

I do not think Slash is that good to be compared to Brian May! Brian May is the best guitarist in my humble opinion, Brian invented the tape technic and made his own guitar Red Special! The Red Special has the most unique sound a guitar can produce! And Slash is obviously a Brian fan , he has a lot to learn from Mr.May!

[Bleudour]

@TheJumpyPopcorn

That's right

[chassybold]

brian may forever and allways

[juantofer]

Brian May!Creo que todos los guitarristas envidiamos su sonido de guitarra

[AlexGomboc]

brian may

[AlexGomboc]

brian may

[CarlosNabais95]

slash

[Thegodfather1233]

Brian May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[6Axl]

Slash (y)

[rotolo]

youtube should drop all the stupid ads, brian may rocks like a queen!!

[Paul8820]

I'm love Slash but I'm a Queen junkie Brian May.

[fenderboy797]

BRIAN MAY

[GreatQueenFan]

I prefere Brian...

[39269430]

brian may

[Vorinello]

brian may!!

[tvrdeichive]

Cant be a serious question? Brian May is a Legend. He hand built the Red Special guitar.

[supermanslash]

slash wins

[rdp281089]

Two great players but I have to say Brian May. To be a great guitarist is one thing but to build your own guitar, which has a completely unique sound, and then become a great player makes Brian slightly better. But don't get me wrong Slash is simply awesome but that is plain to see, or hear. Or you just watch Brian and Slash play Tie Your Mother Down together and watch them rock out. Then you hear a truly amazing sound. Problem solved!

[omfgwasnnoob]

[x] Brian May

[novemberrain1994]

Slash wins..

[The54100]

Brian!!

[tieyourmotherdown1]

Brian May wins. NO DOUBT ABNOUT IT!

[stevenmcg69]

slash defo slash but brian duz rock

[Musseduss]

Well.... They both have great hair...

[thewayiam1195]

@Musseduss LOL true dat!

[ecoclimacaloryfrio]

no se pueden comparar ,los dos son muy buenos cada uno en su estilo de musica.

[rapha94pe]

hey dude that gay with de 175 it's not brian it's pat matheny ¬¬ a jazz guitar player awesome guitar player one of the best of the world

[KendamaProhibited]

can't make a choice they are both awesome in a different opinion

[izzystradlingnr10]

slash but still like brian. XD

[CleanNJerk101]

Brian May, is a smarter guitarist, His guitar playing is down to a science.

[alanimp]

0:29 is not Brian! Jaja x3

[Queen7185]

Brian everyday the greatest ever !

[Blewline67]

I happen to know that Slash himself says that Brian May to be one of the finest Guitar players to ever hold a guitar. Slash is a humble rocker, and a bad ass himself. Slash would smack anybody that voted him over Brian may. Respect!

[cheesefrogsnail]

They are just both imitations of J. Page. However i prefer the original!

[Heroeshere]

Are you kidding?! Brain May has a very different style!

[narutoguy56]

Brian wins hands down

[Deebone93]

Brian...but i love slash aswell =)

[andrescamilocepeda]

Brian May!!!

[TheMaryTere]

People always say the same thing about Slash: "yeah, November Rain's solo KICKS ASS, Slash is SOOO AWESOME, he's the best". That's ONE song.

@cycoturkey: Sweet child? Seriously? That's like the 2nd thing a noob guitarist learn, just right after Stairway to Heaven's intro.

Back to topic: You could pick easily a DOZEN or more songs with a kick ass solo by Bryan May.

Besides, not only he built his own guitar; he's also an astrophysicist and has a freaking ASTEROID named after him!! lol

[glendi92]

@TheMaryTere Yes, because people ALWAYS say different things about Brian May... it's just the same fucking thing over and over. Logic should tell you it's the same for everyone.

A good riff has nothing to do with how hard it is to play. but yeah, ask yourself why every starting guitarist wants to learn SCOM... oh wait because it's that awesome... yeah. Slash just pwns with his solos, no contest.

[PMcM1007]

@TheMaryTere , Yeah you are right Brain is a better player then Slash, but Slash's on stage persona is much better then any other guitar player and thats why Slash stands out.. Altho yeah you mention November Rain solo, but i think his best solo on out there is the solo's in Breakdown and Estranged.. Also his plsying on Locomotive was cool as he was the only player on that track.. Izzy had a day of..lol.

[stephenburbridge1]

Brian May! slash is still great!

[thebrightonrock1]

Brian May!

[francho292006]

Bria may allways

[cycoturkey101]

[ThorCollins]

@s11monr Jimi? lol, dont say no one is better. and i preferr slash cuz he plays hardcore stuff and it all comes from his heart, November rain is one of the best songs in the world, very beautiful, and the solo in it rocks!

[peterprime16]

slash

[Hellovarius]

Brian May is a true musician and a great man. He made his own style, great hits and the most recognizable sound in rock music. Brian May is not only a guitarist, he is a living legend. Queen is the most versatile popular rock band ever and Brian has a big piece of Queens pride.

[Karailieva]

I mean.. you are absolutely right!

[Pikk0LaRockettara96]

BRIAN MAY!!

[diegos239]

Brian May hands down

Brian May kicks that Jimmy Page wannabe's ass any day.
