I like him, i like all his solo stuff and most of his work with GNR..but in reality he isn't that special in my opinion, BUT he's got The Image. Seriously, if he was just some scrawny average joe looking guy, without the whole image, nobody would bat an eye lid and he wouldn't be as much in the media and branded the way that he is. I sound similar to what Jon moaned about a few years back in reference to Axl Rose getting all the media hype, despite not doing much of note. Slash live is sloppy, and unoriginal I think.

Completely agree about Slash, just don't get the hype surrounding him. I can understand people preferring other styles of guitar playing (i.e. Eddie Van Halen to Richie) but for pure emotive guitar playing where the solos fit the song perfectly rather than an "oh look how fast I can play" style then Richie is unbeatable.
