Hey, first of all, why is Billy Duffy of the Cult not discussed more on this forum? I think he's a great guitarist and the Cult have got some amazing songs (even their latest one off the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrack).

Secondly, I know that when Slash and the boys in GNR started out, they were doing Aerosmith covers, but why are Slash and Billy Duffy not compared to each other? I find their styles/sound to be very similar, though perhaps not in composition. However, the whole aggressive rock, melodic soloing, lead guitar going crazy while the singer is still singing, etc. seems to be shared by the two of them.

Any thoughts? Maybe I'm pioneering a new perspective of Duffy & Slash!
... and that's all I have to say about that.
