Ugh
Sorry, but the bits where his violin is silent are lovely. The violin solo parts are mostly out of time, sometimes out of key, and mostly prove why the great composers didn't want cunts like this "improvising".
Would they get Slash in to do a guitar piece? No.
God, I'm getting old. (37)

Staying in time and playing the right key has been done so many times.

I disagree
not out of key, except intentionally... if you listen you will hear Rose has a deep understanding of the piece and where the modulations and tempo changes go. You're right that Tchaikovsky would've hated it, but Stravinsky would've loved this.

Well
Perhaps not Slash, but Joe Satriani?
I am not a music theory buff (in fact this forms rather the cornerstone of the impetus that keeps my band and I making music in a world where all the musicians of our age we know started when they were kids- none of us have been playing for more than 3 years and we draw a great deal of inspiration from the fact that Jimi Hendrix, for instance, could not read music) but listening closely none of it really stabs my sense of rhythm in the head and calls its mother a cunt. I really would compare this to Joe Satriani going nuts over a particular rhythm- he has a deep understanding of the technical aspect of music and this allows him to fuck around and experiment where others would feel uncomfortable doing so.
