This is completely daft, but I woke with it in my head and can't help but feel it will bring the rock.

So have at it, and bring the rock.

Fret slide. String bend is fine and I enjoy it in a little 1 bar solo, but the slide is for the people. You can even do it on bass.

Bends get a little too close to Crapton for comfort, plus they kill my hands. Pixies and Sugar era Bob Mould are non crap examples though.

Fret slides are always pretty cool, especially a quick fluttery thing between 2 frets.

Nothing against string bend, but fret slide is more powerful.

I would have gone with Dopesmoker* but yes that, basically.

*(or is that a hammer on/pull off..)

Bends all the way.
