Is Slash overrated?

So he was part of GnR, big deal. I dont see how he is so popular now days. Does he ever speak?

Maybe its because Im from the UK and hes not that a big of a deal over here than he might be in the US?

His hair always is smoking so that makes him awesome.

Guns and Roses is a phony band overall, Slash just contributes to this.

He's a real rockstar, how can he be overrated?Aspen706

Real rockstar. Lolno.

Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were real rockstars. Slash is not.

I don't take that s***. You're a rockstar or you're not. You can't be a semi-rockstar.

Besides, he doesn't really have epic guitar skills to back up the image he made of himself, contrary to the rockstars I stated. You can't be a respectable rockstar if you just look like one -- hell, if I wanted to, I could look like a Rockstar.

I think Slash is a brilliant guitarist and here in England he isn't overrated as he is hardly talked about over here

Yea kinda

Not really, he doesn't play the hardest things out there but he sounds great and the sound of his guitar is instantly recognizeable.

I think he's overrated, but he suited GNR. They were a "look at me" type of band and he's a "look at me" type of player. He can pull off a nice solo but put him next to someone like Joe Satriani and there's a gulf in talent.

I think he only gets recognition for a few famous guitar riffs. I'm sure he isn't proud to keep having to rehash the same old songs that people are familiar with.

-Fromage-

Indeed - he is Stoke-On-Trent's 2nd greatest musical export

He's got a great image going for him. His skills are average, but since when has music been about skill?

in my opinion he is SEVERELY overrated. Eddie van halen on the other hand, is not. in fact he could be underrated in some cases.
