I really don't see it as any different than saying, "Slash would be a great guitar player if he didn't wear that top hat" or "Slash would be a great guitar player if he had short hair"
It's the same thing.

Only very ignorant, stupid people bitch about his gimmick.
I like it. It's unique, and different. I just think he'd be cooler if he got rid of the KFC Bucket, donned an actual HQ Michael Myers mask, threw on mechanic coveralls and went out there.
That'd be fuckin' badass.

James Lofton wrote:Yeah, Buckethead being on 90% of the album is a huge vindication for him. Its a slap in the face to all his haters, and an extreme bitch slap to sites that have tried to censor him and downplay his accomplishments.
Will also be cool for fans to finally have to acknowledge Paul Huge/Tobias instead of drinking the Fortus kool aid for no reason whatsoever. Seven years later, the 2001 lineup finally gets its due. The Fortus worship needs to drop to zero until we have a reason to worship him.
This album will also increase Dizzy's stature among the fanbase. He played a very little role in the past discography.
In my opinion, if there's gonna be a tour, Axl needs to reassemble as much of the 2001 lineup as he can.
I couldn't agree more.
When i saw the first page of that booklet, with Axl on the first page and BH on the second, i realized BH is going to get his dues. Then i checked out the song credits and it is amazing how much he is still on the record. I hoped they wouldn't just have Ron redo all of his parts, and that hope has been realized.
This is a big bitchslap to anyone who thought BH's impact was minimal.
I wouldn't be surprised if BH is in GNR right now.
The problem becomes that, as much as I love Bucket, I wouldn't want to throw Ron over for him. Ron is a great guitar player, has been far too good for the fans, and has really been a great ambassador for fans to connect with the band. The man has only been around since 2006, and immediately shot to fan favorite.
What role would he serve with 2001 lineup? And let's not forget, Bumble is on quite a bit of the final product, as is Robin & Bucket. The person that seems to be nowhere is Richard.
Could Robin or Ron go rhythm guitarist?
Huge ain't coming back, or he'd been there from day one. He, like Izzy, doesn't want to be with GN'R on "that level".
Axl
Bucket
Ron
Robin
Tommy
Brain (most of his work was left untouched)
Dizzy
Chris

It's about whoever I say it's about.
'Til Axl says otherwise. He can feel free to put out a documentary.
#16795 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Liner Note Discussions *EXTREME SPOILERS* » 940 weeks ago
That's probably the finest master stroke of the entire booklet.
To see Buckethead all over the album, just brings tears almost to my eyes.
All those years people treated him like he was yard trash, a talented Slash wannebe, not worthy of any recognition because of his outfit.
I mean MyGNR actually BANNED members for even mentioning his name in the Discussion section. That kind of outcast, get lost, bug off, no respect behavior.
I thought it was a beautiful sight in the booklet to see Axl & Bucket side by side.
It's the ultimate fuck you to those BH haters out there. You don't know shit about this band. Buckethead IS Guns N' Roses. Always has been. 
#16796 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 940 weeks ago
The problem is ll_tj1, your experiences really don't apply to this situation.
Maybe Capt.'s theory of 'to save Slash's life' is wrong. But in reality Axl told the god's honest truth, whether Slash wanted to hear it or not. If certain members didn't kick the H, the band was over.
Why?
Because they'd fucking die they were doing so much junk at that point, at least Slash, Izzy & Steven, the majority of the band at that time.
Slash took it as he called him out, only because Slash felt guilty. The entire band was fucked up, mainly those three mentioned due to excessive heroin use. The band was dying and going downhill. They were becoming victims and footnotes of their own excesses & indulgences.
People have given Axl shit after shit for years for saying that, and to this day, there's still nothing wrong with the statement that was made. It was the God's honest truth. The band had to clean up, or it was over, either by A) not being able to work anymore and parting ways, B) death, or C) no band with that much shit going on is going to hold on to a record deal for that long.
Big changes were needed immediately. Unfortunately for Steven, he didn't get the memo apparently.
#16797 Re: Guns N' Roses » What current leaked track should i preview? » 940 weeks ago
You know Private Eye... it just might be by the time it's said and done.
This song continues to grow on me. CD, Better, and imo Shackler's, are still pretty kickass though.
#16798 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 940 weeks ago
I can't swear by it, but I thought Axl was mentioning This I Love as early as 1992. Just because the song itself was wrote post-NR/Estranged, doesn't mean that TIL wasn't intended to originally be Part III, apart of the themeatic videos.
I'm sure when Don't Cry was wrote, they didn't know that it'd tie into November Rain's video, and that song would tie into Estranged and so forth.
Estranged wasn't even pushed, single or video 'til well past UYI2's release. They could've easily done TIL, released it as a single & video after Rain, then did the Estranged thing, but TIL the song wouldn't be on a GN'R album 'til the next original album of material. Because, like you said, they aren't linked as songs. So it doesn't really matter what order they're released as music.
Now if the 1994 date is correct, as you said, with TIL being written, then yeah it's pretty far-fetched. TIL would've had to of been a totally completed song by 1994 for that to of happened, and considering production on the video started in 1993, it's far-fetched.
Plus, I thought Steph & Axl were splitsville before 1992 was even over. By 1994, all that shit with Steph was OLD news. By then she was prepping her lawsuit.
#16799 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Liner Note Discussions *EXTREME SPOILERS* » 940 weeks ago
fuck sake you people, 'thrown together' is the most repeated rhetoric in this thread, you're like politicians, its clearly a draft, you actually think they'll let it be published with grammatical and lyrical errors? and how the fuck does it seem thrown together? its a booklet, a booklet similiar to that of any other CD; liners notes, artwork(nice artwork tbh), lyrics and thank yous. but everyone's up in arms
"oh shit this thing is just despicable i cannot believe the band would once again do this to the fans, they should have had davinci paint something for the book, i want a 5 page short story on each song written by tolkien! what he's dead!?!? DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE IF HES DEAD?!?! AXL I HATE YOU WHAT A SHITTY BOOKLET"
Does it ever become a drag being a tube steak on a daily basis?
#16800 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 940 weeks ago
I could swear Axl specifically said in the Making of Estranged Video that there was a 'song', not a video that was originally planned, that couldn't work now (I assume he was referring to Steph), and that was the reason Estranged because 'Part IV' of the Trilogy.
I'm not saying that supposed scapped song was This I Love, but I do think it's quite ironic that This I Love was rumored then, and yet has the striking 'vibe' it has, in comparison to those Illusion songs.
And This I Love, I believe, dates back to 1992, not 1994. The Estranged video wasn't shot until 1993 I believe, and released in 1994. This I Love could've been in the plans for "the next album" that never came... well... until 2008 that is.
