Sigh… This video doesn’t work for some people, it’s not my fault… it works for me and some other people. Try clicking “Watch this video in higher quality”. It does this now and then the only thing i suggest is to wait for it to load or try firefox, However there is a video response which is the same video as this, that works usually so if you want to watch the video you can watch that . It will work soon its happened before its just youtube been dodgy. Sorry if it doesn’t work for you.

I’d just like to say thankyou for the 5 Million views on this video but lets be honest….. Slash and Zakk Deserve abit more than that don’t you think?:) Zakk and slash i salute you! for rocking this world!

I know everyone is going to completely ignore what i say because stopping arguments on youtube is impossible but all the comments on this video are just “oh zakks so much better than slash”, “slash kicks the out of zakk”, “steve vai all over these”, “michael angelo batio can play way faster than this and is better than both of them” or “jimmy hendrix is way better than both of these”
Can i just ask what is the point?? It’s a video of two guitarists trying to play a really good show for there fans they don’t give a who is better or who is faster or which guitarist has the most emotion. I uploaded it because some slash and zakk fans might enjoy watching it too and if you have something bad to say about any guitarist just off cause tbh they are just doing what they enjoy most and making a living out of it. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN MUSIC!
Thanks

Then, we get a Batman Animated series feeling from Detective Comics #841, helmed by Paul Dini. We take back all the bad things we said about Paul Dini.

And we got our hands on the premiere issue of Clandestine #1, slated to hit the stands on Wednesday. Alex recommends it based on the artwork alone, but is it worth picking up?

Then in the speed round, we check out Fist of Justice #1, Captain America #34, Black Adam #6, Black Summer #5 and Madman #6.

Today in the Stack Mailbag, we tell you which comic book characters we would date if we could. Who wouldn’t want a superhero for their valentine?

Head over to our forums to talk about today’s episode with other comic book fans like you!
