Trucks Better than Slash      
Written by Administrator    
Thursday, 30 March 2006  
An Allman Brothers fan asked Axl if he thought Derek Trucks was better than Slash. Axl reportedly said "yes".

The fan had stood next to Axl and his posse at the Allman's Beacon Theatre (NY) gig last Saturday.

 
i found that on sp1at.com
that may sqwash some of the reuinon rumors

So what if he did say that? There are hundreds of better guitar players than Slash and I bet Slash himself would admit that.

Slash is so good because he is one of the extremely rare breed of quality guitar players who can play, write and look cool. Not many other guitarists can do all three.

derek is butch truck's nephew, who is a long time member of the band. I seem to remember he has been playing guitar since 3-5 years old, and played onstage with the band around 10 or 11 a few times. So he recieved a big head start on most people who play guitar.

You are way off on that. Slash was an inventor/inovator which is why when you see a "Greatest Guitarists" list put together by industry people Slash is never out of the top ten.  I have seen dozens of those lists and he is usually placed from 4-7.  He was awesome and influential.

Holy fuck, oh my god, holy shit, Axl thinks someone is a better guitar player than slash!
Slash is a unique guitar player and is the best at what he does, but it's his style, that cannot be copied or immitated, Axl has hired some to try and they failed miserably. But don't get me wrong they are awesome in there elment. He's my favorite guitar player. Anyway I'm not gonna go on a huge rant but Axl is allowed to have an opinion even "if" Slash was coming back to guns.

You're very right!!   I agree but I don't think he does, cuz it was slashes guitar playing that help make them big, and Axl knows this.

And no one knows if he thinks anyone else is " Bettter" then Slash


Its PRIDE========Men are suckers for it!

Derek is young.....  I used to hang with him as he played around here often. He was 17 when I noticed he was AWESOME!!   Warren Haynes has influenced him.. I mean come on! Warren is one of my all time faves.

I laughed at the notion of Derek being in gnr because if you seen him much......    :D  his style (playing) just wouldnt fit ...  at all.  so this is not a news story .... at all.  :D
What are your current thoughts about Kurt Cobain?

Axl: I said I'm going on ChiDem now and he said whatever & walked away other than that I've been busy.

I agree BP.  Trucks is a sick slide guitarist...that is why Clapton asked him to tour this summer.  But his style wouldn't meld too well with GN'R.  It would be like getting Clapton or Gilmour in GN'R - both are absolutely amazing, but GN'R wouldn't be the right band for them.
