Alright, so I checked out a bunch of buckethead songs, downloaded some videos, and I must admit I was blown away. I guess my problem was that being the huge gnr fan that I am, I saw buckethead as a threat. For me, no one can replace Slash for gnr. However, since the "new" gnr isn't going to pan out anyways, it all works out. Buckethead is an incredible guitarist, just not a good fit with Axl in my opinion. The dude is nuttier than squirrel sh*t, but that's way cool with me. And whoever mentioned the ballad of buckethead was right. That song is really funny.
