I love Slash, he's my favorite guitarist, although his GnR work is way better than his work in VR. People think he is overated for two reasons:

1. Overexposure. He's written a book, starred in GH3 and it seems like he's everywhere in the media. I'm sure people get tired of that.
2. He is a great guitarist but his work is more based on feeling rather than speed or technique (tho his technique is very good). Nowadays people value shredders over blues-based guitarists.

No way are his solos boring. Dig a little deeper into GnR's catelogue (which is more than Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child) and you'll see his ability.
