Wasn't that impressed with Sorry on the first listen. Cool they played it, but the song is overall weak. Slash's solo wasn't that great honestly, was thinking too much. He will getter as he plays more.

They really need to turn off the back track or turn it way down.
It's cool that played it though.

Awww isn't it cute watching Slash try to emulate Buckethead.
I dunno but I like it more than when Bucket tried to emulate Slash

I guess he failed miserably then, because those Nightrain solos in the early 2000's were better than any version Slash ever played live.

Yeah...no they're not....Slash's version carries on the story of the song...bucket's does some impressive paul gilbert shred runs....but you know...not the right place for it.

This, in a nutshell, is true.

I don't see it that way.
Buckethead and Bumblefoot are amongst my favourite guitarists and musicians I deeply admire.
However the band was a shell of its former self from the gig Slash left to the gig where he returned.
The CD songs are some of my favourite GNR songs, but aside from Shackler and Riad, most of the solos on them are simply aping what Slash would have done anyway (TIL, better outro, Sorry etc), and now he's back he's doing them more like his other songs - which are the songs that made him the rock player of his generation.
The other guys are great guitarists, but at the end of the day guitarwise GNR is Slash's band.
