It rubs the lotion on its skin... 
I don't know who among you follow guitar drama in anyway; but recently a friend and myself got into an argument on the topic which guitarist was the better.
If you are completely out of the loop: Slash was the guitarist for GNR for a long time until drama with the lead singer kinda ripped the band apart. Several years later Buckethead took up lead guitar for the band (though I don't think he is still with them either). Now other then the fact that I think Buckethead is just a complete freak and will probably end up in a mental institution one day, his speed tapping does nothing for me. I mean great, you can play skin peeling solos, but when you put his work in a 'normal' song it never seems to fit. Slash's showmanship alone gets him my vote, but also his style seems to work well into a 'band' and not just a 'soloist.'

Oh well, you probably have your own favorite guitarist, any Eddie Van Halen fans? BBking? Satriani? Dime bag? Just curious...
