Wrong. SOD, TWAT & This I Love are all very comparable to anything off of the UYI albums. TWAT even has a solo in it i'd hold up to anything Slash ever recorded solo-wise in GN'R.

Other than MAYBE "Messages", Slash hasn't recorded anything post-1991 that compares to his work in DC, NR & Estranged.

I hear this and i think people get that prisoner of the moment mentality and don't fully realize what they are comparing.

Listen to Twat, then go listen to SCOM,Estranged,NR  Come back and make that statement.

I used to say similar stuff till i dusted off AFD and UYI's

Realized how much in error i was.

Did what you said

The TWAT solo is better than November Rain.

Even still.

And frankly i'm not ranking them. I think they all equally rule. But like Tejas, I believe the TWAT solo is the only guitar work on CD that was comparable to old Guns, meaning Slash. I mean that as a total compliment to Slash. There's nothing wrong with putting Bucket & Slash into the same league, it just means they're both good. I'm not down with this, "to love one, you've gotta hate the other". Fuck that.

There's also another two hidden GREAT Bucket solos on Shackler's & Street of Dreams, but it's so fuckin' buried in the mix, because CD was intended by Axl apparently to be a piano/orchestra-driven album, and not guitar-driven.
