Amazing TWAT solo. I'll expound later, but I think it says something that he completely gutted the TIL solo but followed the TWAT blueprint while putting his own spin on it.

That's not amazing at all. I just listened once but it was not good. At times he's just shredding. Shredding means "I will just improv this stuff".
Awkward.

Remember in the old days when Guns fans accused Bucket of just being a shredder. How times have changed.

Yeah, there's a lot of shredding there. But if Bucket isn't gonna be the one doing it, Slash can.

And so what if he's shredding? Shredding like a motherfucker. When people accuse Bucket of being a shredder nowadays I just ignore it, but inside I'm thinking "fucking right; you better recognize the best shredder around."

Slash on this solo keeps hitting on some moments of Bucket's original solo that made it so great. I like that. I wish he did that with the TIL solo (the moments that were worthy, that is; as few as there are).

Also, by following the blueprint of Bucket's solo, I think he paying a bit of a homage. He's giving it his deal of approval: "This is GNR-worthy," he's saying.

By deconstructing Robin's solo, he's saying "get this unlistenable steaming pile out of here."
