I agree. Playing in a band that with such heavy commercial demands would reel him in. I've listened to some of the solos he did with them and it shows he would've added something to the equation long-term, even though, while he was a member, he was forced to play parts written by Slash.
This offers a good straight comparison between the two:

I'm not sure which I prefer, but the difference would've been really intriging to see develop. Buckethead clearly never fit into GnRs 'outlaw'/'Cowboy' image - I can't imagine him rolling on stage with a bottle of JD. Either way, seeing him long term in such a high profile band would've been fascinating.
