Slash Vs Kirk Hammett
admin 
Another great battle between two of the most successful guitarists of the last 20 years. While Kirk has remained in Metallica for the entire stint, Slash started with GNR, and due to Axl being a complete phucktard, has moved on to solo projects.
At one point in time, these two bands toured together, and I was fortunate enough to see them play. I’ve seen Metallica many times more than Slash, and from a performance perspective, Kirk certainly has had more chops to play.
While they have both brought their style to their music, which one do you think has been more influential? Which one do you think is the flat-out better player? Which one would you want to party with? Which one do you think could deliver a knock-out solo on the spot?

2CELLOS (Sulic & Hauser) – Welcome To The Jungle
I am all about hearing updated versions of my favorite songs, and it’s always interesting to see how artists will interpret a song with their style of music.
If you read the comments for this video on YouTube, it says that even GNR has approved this version on their facebook page. The ONLY reason Axl would do this is an attempt to be relevant again.
My take on this? I think these guys are extremely talented. However, this particular performance is 100% pure suck. Rock is meant to be played a certain way and sorry, no matter how aggressive you play a cello, it’s never gonna sound intimidating AT ALL.
So, PLEASE NEVER, EVER cover another Guns N Roses song. It’s too iconic and stands the test of time in the original format.
