The short answer is: no. The tow maneuvers look almost identical from outside the cockpit, but from inside it is clear that there is a very distinct difference. In an aileron roll, you pull up on the stick and then push it forward again (going back o a neutral position), and then roll with the ailerons using no elevator. It's the aerial version of ""popping a wheelie."" 

In a slow roll, you may be rolling as fast as possible or you may take a full ten minutes to roll the plane. In this case, you have to use both rudder and elevator during the roll to keep on course, or else you'll find yourself in a nose die towards the ground. An aileron roll is fairly easy for a beginner, but a slow roll takes a great amount of practice even for an expert. An aileron roll is clumsy an uncoordinated, but extremely fun, while a slow roll is precise and difficult. An aileron roll will also keep the g-force positive, while a slow roll turns you all around like clothes in a dryer.   "
