Oh I didn't mean he wasn't able.
BBF is VERY VERY good on guitar...believe me i've noticed!! He has some serious technique.
I ment more like...I wonder if he would agree to become fink live, and bucket return to do bucket's bit, or if he would consider this a demotion from his current position. I think he'd prob get more parts to play...but then not as show-off-fun as his current bits
So i ment more I wonder if the personalities involved allow for a BBF, Bucket, Fortus line up....bumble seems like a pretty easy going guy, so its possible...but then there were stories that bucket caused tension in the band last time wern't there? Or was that just cos robin was intimidated. (I know i would have been if bucket joined the band i was lead guitarist for!)
The thing is... the attraction of Robin's solos is their simplicity. BBF has an unfortunate tendency to add fretboard wankery to simple solos; compare his version of the first Nightrain solo with Bucket's more restrained, melodic version, for instance. I wouldn't want Ron wanking all over, for instance, Robin's sublime TWAT solo...

that plus he is noticeable and compelling,
yet on stage he doesn't get in axl's way,
he clearly destroys all of the leaks
and
he plays the old material well
that is just a couple reasons why he is perfect for gnr
He's also a very distinctive, iconic presence in the same way that Slash is. The mark of an icon is that you can recognise them by their silhouette, and you can certainly do that with both Slash and Buckethead...

You do realize I gave you karma for the creative Q & A you wrote?
What I said was more of a general statement regarding his unique appeal.
Didn't mean it to sound directed in a negative way towards you.
Ah, okay. It's been a long weekend, didn't mean to snap at you.

Bumblefoot: I don't know.I'm not on it.
This is the kind of questions these guys are gonna get.
'Course, if Buckethead was interviewed, the exchange would go something like this:

Buckethead (thrusts Herbie puppet into interviewer's face): He just... thinks of chickens and it makes him play pretty. This slice... was when they brought a bucket of fried chicken into his coop and he tried to put the chicken back together and it made him sad. So he put the bucket on his head and just... played sad songs.
Blabbermouth: Uh, okay. What's the deal with the bestiality porn?
Buckethead: Girls make Buckethead feel funny. He doesn't like the feeling, so he watches the animals and listens to the noises they make and tries to make them on his guitar.
Guess who had the biggest buzz at the 2002 VMAs?
answer: it wasn't Fortus
Guess who was in the most pictures in GNR mentions in magazines(Blender, Stuff,etc.) during the 2002-05 silent years?
answer: It wasn't Axl.
I think you know where this is leading.....
He was the star of the band and was the only person capable of silencing the "Where's Slash?" screams.
You do realise, Captain Defensive, that I was joking. Bucket is my favourite member of the new band, but even his cheerleaders have to acknowledge that the guy's... well, a bit weird. Any interviews he'd do would be interesting, but not what you'd call conventional - Kurt Loder just looks freaked out by the guy in that MTV interview.

Could someone who knows how to use audio editing programs chop the beginning off the 2007 Better leak and bolt it onto the new version? That audio glitch in the new one is very annoying...

With the Greatest Hits there was a possibility but there was too much stuff being said. But it was a close call. I would love to see that happen, as a Guns n' roses fan. I'd pay to see it.
We now have confirmation that the band has almost reunited at least once.
Now the people who have always said it could/would never happen are eating a bit of crow.
Except that elsewhere in the article, they flat-out ask Duff and he claims that they haven't had contact with Axl and that Weiland was being "paranoid". Ironic, really, since it's Weiland who went behind his bandmates' backs to reunite with his old group...
#2010 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Axl and Slash at same hotel in NYC? » 908 weeks ago
elevendayempire wrote:That leaves the rhythm guitarist spot. In an ideal world, it'd be Izzy, but we already know he prefers "dropping in" for guest spots to a full-on tour. Slash might simply insist that "Axl joins Velvet Revolver", and that Dave comes along, but tbh he's an out-and-out mercenary, and wouldn't hesitate to sell VR up the river. Gilby is pretty unlikely, having not had contact with either camp for a decade.
Gilby attended one of the GB shows of VR some weeks ago (I think one of the London gigs), he met and talked with the guys
Really? Nice. Still couldn't see him being involved in a reunion, though.
