  • Did Dimbag r.i.p ever meet slash?

  • nice quality full hd man (:

  • omg <3

  • its good, but hardly genius

  • 25 people need a vision and/or hearing check

  • @DaNorthernLight ya Slash does mostly stay in the pentatonic scale, but you dont need alot of notes to be a great musician... its how well you play those notes that you do, and i have to say that Slash is very good with that. They may not be the most complex solos, but you can feel the emotions through his playing, thats whats most important with any musician of any style.

  • I like Slash coz his licks are "accessible"....Zakk plays TOO fast to cop licks from lol

  • one dimensional pentatonic noodling. check out Damjan Pejcinoski for real improvisational genius!

  • @rapidtranq Agreed.Though I wouldn't point anyone in the direction of any guitarist.

  • Guitarists are all good for different reasons its impossible to pit them against each other

  • This is SLASH !!!!

  • HELLO

    The Metal Militia will be attacking Justin Biebers Baby video

    on September 1st onward ... Remember to dislike, put a comment and flag .

    We need your help to destroy this modern autotune music that

    has ruled the world. Copy paste this comment on every good music

    video such as: Metallica, Dio, AC/DC, Slayer, Megadeth, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc.

    And post -MM at the end of your comment

    Thumbs up this comment

  • @Veqosta the fucking metal militia can suck my dick

  • @Veqosta I'm all for the Metal Militia, but why would you wanna give Bieber the publicity?

  • @Veqosta saddo

  • @deadfalcon2 You're the saddo. Get a life. Idiot

  • @Veqosta lol says the guy that spends 10 hours a day on the internet spamming bieber videos. your fucking pathetic just because u like metal doesnt mean that other people need to, i like metal but i have better things to do than to go bitching about people having a different opinion than me on the INTERNET. good luck changing people's opinions as an anonymous figure behind a keyboard, because ppl will really listen to you nerd

  • @deadfalcon2 Leave @Veqosta alone. He didn't write that Metal Militia comment, just copied and pasted it. Loads of people have done that so he isn't actually sad. Just backing rock music which is fair enough

  • Hrm, Clapton is God. Kthxbai.

  • @kweerb8

    naw im jus saying steve perry is awesome

  • You know when people say ''malmsteen is better than slash'' or ''vai is better than slash'' or even ''Slash is better than Gilmour''..................Tha­t shit pisses me off as David Gilmour is like a less is more guitarist and a completely different style to slash as well as the other 2.slash is a blues man,Gilmour just knows what to play and when to play it (have a cigar).Now im not a big fan of the other two because i'm just not. (deal with it) but i will not say slash is better or worse!!

  • Beautiful.

  • blueshayzee is right. shit is the best...

  • what i love about slash is he doesn't have to play fast to make great solos

  • I think i know how he does it now......is it just fast little licks between fast repeating licks and those chugging sorta notes.....?

  • @collin292 He's not famous because of a simply little formula, it's years of finding his sound, and never giving up.

  • @collin292 He's not famous because of a simply little formula, it's years of finding his sound, and never giving up.

  • no tienen ni idea que es un shred

  • Ah.....Amazing...totaly love him

  • people always argue who's better and it's just sad. There is a thing called an opinion, kinda like when you say pizza is a better than a bacon cheese burger or meat lasagna is so much better than tacos from taco bell. You know there is some people out there that like to eat shit, but how can you persuade someone that a burger and fries is better than shit, when all they care for is shit? Slash is obviously good and affects people positively , so stop being jealous and enjoy it or don't.

  • @BLuEsHayZee Correct. However, that is not the case here. You wouldn't compare two guitarists to which tastes best out of a pizza or a hamburger, but to who's the better MAKER of two different hamburgers or two different pizzas. There's a huge difference.

  • @Fond3ll but that also comes down to taste again...it depends whether u like virtuosos or shredders...like just because someone can play fast does that make him better than the next??....i would guess that if a guitar player makes good music that influences or touches ppl then that to me is a succesfull guitar player, cause there are plenty that play fast or are really good and mean shit to no one..right??..and then again no guitarist have the same style even if they play the same genre of music

  • @BLuEsHayZee Exact what I think, that people can't start realizing that noone can decide who the best guitarist is, it's just a matter of taste, some like paul gilbert, some slash and some not much of fast or technical guitarists like the green day guitarists etc... But if someone like that music let them do that, don't waste your time commenting that " MY FAVOURITE GUITARIST IS BETTER THEN THIS" or something like that... Enjoy life instaid xD

  • @BLuEsHayZee DAMN UUU U MADE ME HUNGRYYY XD

  • @BLuEsHayZee thats nicely written however its wrong. there is a "better" and a "worse". your opinion just says who you like more, but it doesnt indicate who rly is better. slash for example isnt the best guitar player on this planet how alot of fanboys claim who probably dont know any virtuoso guitar player

  • @Aremine Yeah, my friend says that slash is an absolutely amazing guitarist, and I'm a huge fan of Alex lifeson from rush who is definitely a fantastic guitarist and can shred way better than this, but my friend has never heard any of alex's good solos, so his opinion is kind of invalid.

  • @BLuEsHayZee Just cause people don't like it, doesn't mean that we're jealous. slash is good, but he's not as good as many people claim he is.

  • @BLuEsHayZee judging who is the better player has nothing to do with opinion. there is a better player, thats a fact. one of them has to be the better one. if you like his music more or less than the other ones is something else, that is the OPINION.

    the problem is just to define what makes you a better player and what doesnt. and here is the problem, nobody knows exactly what defines it

  • ....do u guys relly thinh that he is impro. ? lol he is not he has main theme learned and maybe he just add something .... but i like slash !

  • GOD

  • or not

  • bobbo 63 -  die

  • I think Dimebag was the real genius xD

  • Obviously he was quite good at guitar. But why does everyone feel the need to pit guitarists against eachother? They have their own different styles, and they appeal to other people.

    Unfunny.

  • @Corvus54

    *is* good at guitar.

    He IS quite good at guitar.

    I agree with what you've said, but he hasn't lost his luster yet.

    Rock On!

  • @RyusukeSound

    Hunh. I don't know why I said "Was".

  • @Corvus54 Was good? You lost me.

  • Genio

  • this is a solo!

    All those shreaders sound jsut like power tab midi's lol cheap and cheesy!

  • haahah amen!

  • slash rocks the socks, u all can keep ur pathetic "technically better" shredding squealing mindless scale playing morons.... slash's stuff comes straight from the heart....

  • Since when do people playing "straight from the heart" have to sound sloppy and not very fast when they are trying to be?

  • hey slash can play really fast, just saying people like paul gilbert, malmsteen and hermen li, they have no feeling, no soul in their playing, it's just mindless scales like "see how fast i can play".... people like slash, SRV, clapton, mayer, glimour, hendrix, they were the true greats!

  • Yeah Herman Li is just fast... he's lousy because he has no soul to his music. :/

  • amen yo! but herman li is cool if u like that kind of stuff, but i can't stand it! SLASH RULES! lol

  • i agree with malmstien and herman li having no soul, but paul gilbert, he has soul

  • @supprize Well I don't know much about paul gilbert, I've just never liked him. Even if he does have soul, it's impossible for him to soul-ly match slash! lol

  • There is no such thing as soul or feeling, most of us think it exists but it doesn't it's really just spending more time bending, or putting more emphasis on notes. Besides, you haven't heard all of Paul Gilbert's songs so you can't really say that.

  • And you must be some world famous guitarist who fakes soul and knows all this, right?

  • There was no logic to that whatsoever.

  • @MrXorHomer music goes beyond logic.

  • @THAToGUITARoGUY I was talking about the comment that had no logic.

  • @MrXorHomer my bad

  • no he was in key it just sucks

  • being world famous has nothing to do with being a great guitarist or a great anything. look at American idol lol

  • its ur opinion so i cant say ur wrong or i would, Herman li just plays really fast thats all, i agree with no soul there but Malmsteen is a neoclassical player thats wat he has the soul for you just might not be able to unferstand neoclassical s well as others

  • @supprize Well, Slash is probably the most genius rock guitarist ever. And if you're going to talk about DragonForce, Sam Totman's the one who actually comes up with REALLY good solos. Herman's capable of playing soulfully, he just doesn't want to because their band is supposed to sound fake-yet-real (video games, duhr). And if there's no such thing as soul or feeling then how does Slash sound 3795813986238432726463269 times better than those who cover his songs on YouTube?

  • dont like slash? dont watch slash. go watch a joe whatever video dumbass.

  • That was incredibly ignorant.

  • okk in one thing ur right

    hendrix is the best

    but slash have style and

    he is an incredible guitarrist

  • you dont have to prove that you dont know anything about music.

  • You guys do all realize Slash never thought out anything he played. His fingers just kinda came to life and out came a legendary riff. Technical playing isn't like that at all. It involves a whole lot more though... I think I'm more impressed by Slash than anybody else... But I love metal shred too.

  • you can't say you're better than slash, paul gilbert has a different style, also, if you mean you can play faster, let me tell you, "faster" doesn't mean "better", it just means faster, the feeling is more important and slash is one of the guitarists with the most feeling ever, nonetheless i've seen him improvise harder and faster solos than this one, you just play covers, you're never gonna be famous, cut the crap, and be respectful, kid

  • fuck you dumb cunt

  • speed is not even close to being everything.

  • can someone give this person some water..

    just relax and breath deeply...

    u may regain your consciousness in no time!

  • so is ur mum

  • oooh, did i hit a soft spot?

  • HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! you really think you're better than Slash - one of the world's most famous and best guitarists!??!?!?

    yep...no videos to prove it ey?

  • Who said he wasn't considered?...

  • another stupid comment, you don´t know quite anything about music don´t you? Speed is not everything in guitar, jimmy hendrix was not fast, eric clapton is not fast, and so on, there are also good guitarists like steve vai that they have speed and melody, not what romeo have

  • English is not my first language so shut up, we are not talking about language. That shows me your inmaturity, and lack of arguments

    So you have been playing guitar and sitar for 45 years, if that's true, you're so unmature to say in your profile that you have 20 years, if you really have 20 years, you have not been playing for 45 years, see? Inmaturity again liar

    And , finally, I'm sure he can play fast, but, does he really need? His style is playing this way, quite slow.

    So please shut up.

  • Perhaps you should discuss in his native language, so you can see how easy it is with a second language? When your arguments is picked apart, you attack his skills in english?

    What a moron.

  • u obviously aren't as good as Slash, are you famous mate? Yea...didn't think so

  • Comment removed

  • unfortunately the "are you famous?" comeback doesnt quite work anymore even one of those jonas brothers kids plays guitar and ther very famous...avril lavigne even plays guitar lol

  • hahahha you tell him to learn english when you find it difficult to write words "propa"... and i quote from your ignorance "learn to engrish propa"... dude, grow up

  • hahahahahahahahah!!!!!

    your a fucking idiot arent you?

    im ignorant am i ?

    well it seems your so ignorant you cant get a simple joke

    i meant to say 'engrish and propa' to mock him u dumb idiot...jesus christ there are some dumb fucks here

    also slash is so fucking standard.

  • by the way dick head, 'your a fucking idiot' is not correct, it should be 'you're a fucking idiot'

    dumbass

  • ssssshhhhhhhhh

  • Dumb ass... is two words.

  • well that was just a typing error, you clearly don't know the difference between your and you're

  • Your talking to the wrong guy. I didn't misuse "your" or "you're".

  • i hate those bastards that dont understand their, there, and they're.

  • @Bobbo63 right man,i hate they're way of talking when there think their all right lol

  • @mushroomzagain yeah..slash is so fuckin standard,but you smell of bedroom and youtube..so i'd stfu.

  • amazing

  • its your own personal opinion, but you shouldnt say that on a slash video since lots of his die hard fans watch them lol

  • it dipends if I like their music. for example,I don't like smithdjango reinhardt,but he wasa great guitarist. I love guns n roses and I love every songs,so I think slash is the greatest guitarist ever

  • everyone says slash is the greatest guitar player ever, but i've never thought that. i mean he definatly has his own tone, but there's defiantly better guitarists out there.

  • same here.

    everyone thinks he's god, but i think the whole blues shred thing gets old pretty fast.

  • look you can trash slash all you want but there will always be people who think his stuff is way better than eddie van halen and others

  • Comment removed

  • man, you are such a peice of shit if you're a 30 year old guy threatening to kick a 12 year olds ass.

  • slash was so much better before. compared to the van halen rock n roll hall of fame performance...

  • When I was 16 I watched this concert, which is entitled Live in Tokyo, I believe. Coincidentally, it was also the first time I got high. At the time I was digging music and fooling around with the guitar. After that all bets were off! Music opened up into a much larger universe and I'm still exploring it today.

    Thanks Slash (and hash).

  • LOLOLOL MATE. If slash reads your post he will ask to share hash with him :P

  • and anybody who disagrees, please please, PLEASE watch "guns n roses i used to love her the late show 88". that will settle it for you

  • slash may not be the greatest musician in the wordl, but he could be. just listen to this, its precise and coming straight from his head. yea when it comes to his songs he may not implement all those major turned minor chords , suspendeds down to a perfect fifth, and sevenths and sixths, but he is only in rock and roll after all. and as far as soloing goes, improvised or composed, very few even come close, and if you don't see that, you've never heard of plausible

  • on what scale does slash improvise?

  • Pentatonic

  • People dont realize this.. but Mixolydian

  • ...?

    You're telling me this video is using Mixolydian? He may use the flat seventh occasionally, but... I mean come on. He uses the pentatonic, which outlines the Major Scale. Sometimes he goes a wee bit outside the box and adds the flat seven in, but this is all pentatonic.

  • Whatever you say.

  • How does a minor pentatonic outline a major scale? O.o

  • The E min Pentatonic outlines the G maj scale.

  • Only 5 notes of it. What's your point?

  • minor pentatonics are, 1,b3,4,5,b7.

    major scales are, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.

    Emin pent notes are E,G,A,B,D,E

    Gmaj notes are G,A,B,C,D,E,F#.

    because there is no f# in e minor pentatonic (taaking away the f# from Gmajor) would leave you with the same notes in a different order, outlining each other.

  • oh, and i forgot to mention theres no c (as well as the F#).

  • All. He knows every scale better than he knows his ABC.

    But he mostly sticks to the Am Pentatonic or C's.

  • trying to cram in as many notes/picks as you can in a second isn't impressive... doesn't even sound great. Take Randy Rhoads for example... the shit he was doing at any given moment, with any given sound he could produce out of his guitar gave off the impression/feeling that he was "taking you" for a ride at any speed/emotion he decided. The dude had a right hand that any sleight-of-hand artist or magician would be envious of.

  • whats with all the shit about losing in the description?

  • Read it carefully......... and feel your mind implode!

  • not impressed...........anyone could do this in a couple of years practising

  • you are so fucking retarded..slash doesent shred..this is a little faster hard rock...has nothing to do with shreding...you are so dumb

  • There's plenty of shredding in this very video. Why don't you learn and get back to me. I don't want to have to take you to school in front of all these people again.

  • dude you are dumb in shredding players use sweeping,tapping,sweep tapping,speed picking,play fast over a scale and this is just rock licks played randomly so plz go grab a book and start studing shredding

  • only ELEVEN FUCKING SECONDS IN HE PLAYS FAST OVER A PENTATONIC you fucking moron. Also, don't call me dumb until you learnt to use puncuation to your advantage. Not only do you have retarded and wrong opinions, your ability to convey thought bequeaths a serious learning disability. Keep coming back, and I'll keep shooting you down and embarassing you in front of all these people. With someone as dumb as you, I can do this all day.

  • you are fucking dumb if that is fast im the fastest player in the world look at the micheal angelo batio paul gilbert buckethead those are fast shredders not slash and you wrote to me Keep coming back, and I'll keep shooting you down and embarassing you in front of all these people first i dont giva fuck for them cos i dont know who are those people and this thing that you wrote to me proof that you are lifeles looser that doesent have anything smarter to do that fighting over internet

  • HAHAHAHA I win. I never said he was the fastest in the world. I'm glad you don't care about looking like a fag in front of the world wide web, because it's not something you can stop. What's even funnier is the fact that I can spell loser (you can't) and I also have the resources to go beat your ass in real life.

  • well, his definition of "shred" teared me apart, I'm lying on my back and laughing my ass off. fuck him mate. cheers

  • screw you nobody on earth sed fast was good....look at Black Sabbath, they didnt shred & they invented metal. Hendrix didnt try 2 play as fast as he could, he just made music as he liked. Im not saying fast is horrible, cuz i am a van of Michael Angelo Batio and Paul Gilbert. But just cuz Slah is the greatest musician in the world doesnt mean u have 2 be on ur period ya little peniswrinkle

  • Slash, the greatest musician ever? Your argument was semi-plausible until you typed that. That is such bullshit.

  • i aggre with you but i just dont think this is shredding

  • Totally agree man!!!

    those assholes dont hat the music is, the music is about feeling, of feel the music in all your body and express it on one instrument, that what slash does, and because of that he is the GREATEST MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD

    SlAsH RoCkS BiTcHeS!!!!!

    OlD GuNs N' RoSeS RoCkS!!!!

  • I wouldn't say greatest but he is one of them.

  • Slash is shredding in this video... ... You'll call "tapping" shredding but not this? The fuck dude, the fuck?????????

  • el biker presidente la concha de tu madre

  • cool

  • What a fuckin good GibsonLP sound !

  • I think that tone epitemises the Les Paul Sound!

  • slash el mejor

  • slash and i are both cancer!!!!!

  • when i heard that Axl had said to an interview that "Slash is a cancer, you don't want to reunite" and that Slash should have left after Appetite/Lies, my first thought was that Axl knew he needed an guitarist like Slash to get famous, and then just get rid of him....

    Some say that Slash has much to thank Axl for becoming the famous guitar player he is today, I would say that is wrong, Its opposite. Axl has a lot to thank Slash for becoming as famous as he is.... :S

  • Funnily enough slash is actually a cancer, zodiacally speaking...

  • Comment removed

  • I think both needed each other to become what they are now.

  • There are two kinds of guitarists. Fast and smooth. Bumblefoot is
