Yeah that Godfather kinda lays to rest any nonsense that Slash couldn't perform TWAT imo.

WINNER, contest over this guy wins by Myles over the competition.

flubs the opening verse but who cares.. no teleprompt

of course they can really blacklist GNR in the US once i think about it. they can point to his many riots, late starts and no shows and just say they don't feel comfortable sponsoring it or insuring it.

IMO it can be argued that Bumble and Myles are pretty much the same

both virtuoso technical out of this world ability but neither have that "IT" thing that makes them really amazing.

Bumble is a great technical wizard but i can't honestly say i like anything he has written. His Rhiad and CD the song contributions are pretty awesome but his Catcher thing is just disastrous.

Myles has an incredible voice but can be a little robotic and technical. Its growing on me but i can understand why someone with such an instrument never really "made it"

technical ability really is only a minute part of what makes someone great.

u take Axl and Slash.. live both can be sloppy, hit a wrong pitch here and there but they have that incredible ungodly feel that just hits u every place in ur body that can be hit.
thats the difference in a great musician and an icon.
