Pennywise the Frown posted:Yeah he's pretty terrible. He's not terrible, but he's incredibly overrated as a musician: every solo is the same color-by-numbers pentatonic blues-rock snoozefest, and yet he still flubs them all the time in live settings. There are dozens of YouTube clips of teenagers killing this solo on an acoustic and they don't have the advantage of forty years of muscle memory and songwriting credits. Even in his heyday he wasn't doing anything that Gary Moore, Vivian Campbell, or Rory Gallagher hadn't already done much, much better. He is the ultimate "favorite guitarist of people who don't play guitar." Slash is mid-tier on a good day.

To be fair, almost every time he was on stage he was legitimately dangerously drunk. I think he wrote a book a while back about a bunch of that stuff.

I play like poo poo when I'm hosed up too, I'm probably just salty that I spent all those years toiling in obscurity when the whole time I was just a top hat and a substance abuse disorder away from eternal fame.
