Well it's an idiotic comment from steven because it's plainly false.

Like anyone who understands guitar can see that bumblefoot is one of the foremost technical guitarists in the world - so steven's chosen bumble's absolute strength as a place to attack him - which makes it an inane attack.

Agree or Not, but at least steven would have grounds to say that the new band "isn't GNR", or that people like frank and bumble are only famous because they ride on the legacy of people like steven. For the record I'm not saying I support that view, but there's at least rational grounds to argue it. But attacking bumble on his technical skills is just plain stupidly false.

I also agree things like this don't help a reunion. But that's because Adler's basically heartbroken he doesn't think straight and talks with his heart of his sleeve. On one hand I suspect he loves Axl for the times they had together keeping the band alive on the streets, on the other hand, he probably hates his guts for throwing him out of the band, blocking a reunion and keeping on as GNR without any other AFD line up guys left. Which response you get from him would change by the second because they are both true to him.

This is the rock n roll version of drunk dialing your exgirlfirend and saying something like "I fucking love you, I need you, but you left me you fucking whore bitch cunt, why can't you come back and love me you bitch. Who would love you anyway you fat fuck, awww, baby come back to me".

Illogical and unhelpful to his cause, but comes from the fucked up place he's in.

It is inane, but not just on BBF's reputation.  Tommy is a damn fine bassist and songwriter, Frank is IMO as good if not better than Steven on drums, and Richard is very skilled player, too.  DJ Ashba, like him or not, is a good lead guitar player and an accomplished songwriter in his own right.  Chris Pitman is far more than just a keyboard/synth player, too.

Your drunk-dialing analogy is a good one.

I couldn't help but notice he heard that Izzy won't be showing up, too
