Thanks for this. I actually love Frank’s fill before the last chorus…not that Josh couldn’t have done that.

2 drummers 2 keyboard/synth players 3 guitar players he should have gotten another Bass player too

You joke but literally one of the synths is for “sub-bass.” Gotta love the sub-bass.

Bucket plays solos on Sorry, If The World, Shacklers and Scraped, CD outro after Finck, SOD outro…..he’s all over the album! Read the credits again!

He doesn’t play “the” solo on Shackler’s. Like the only one that’s an actual solo with no vocals. He’s probably the outro.

Apart from TWAT and IRS what did BH really contribute to CD? CD (song), Catcher and Scraped is actually Bumblefoot on the solos. Better is Robin (the good one). TIL is Robin. Madagascar was good in RIO but it does not catch your breath on the album.

Shackler is bad, If the World and Sorry are good but not because of any amazing guitar work. 

I've gone from thinking BH was indispensable to sort of not caring. He contributed a handful of bits, he wasn't exactly dominant like Slash. His potential in the band was never fulfilled.

Shackler’s was Bumble on the album. Riad also initially had a Bucket solo. I see your larger point though.

Tommy recently appeared on a podcast called Lifers, hosted by Scott Lucas of Local H.

Touches on GnR a couple of times. Mentions he recently got a text from Duff and Richard. Mentions how he thought it was pretty punk of Axl to keep GnR going without Slash. Funny comment about how in his time in GnR he worked with players “across the spectrum…and probably on the spectrum.” First thought it might be about Axl then immediately realized it has to be bucket.

Absolutely nothing earth shattering. Doesn’t get into Chinese recording.

If you don’t believe the songs exist how do you explain The General clip? Are we to believe Axl was in charge of the CD player?

I doubt it’s like, an official tracklist CD2 with artwork and shit. Just any finished track.

In retrospect, they have been doing everything for a while now for money.  Yeah, I know all musicians do this. CD release, you can't tell me a big portion of it wasn't to clear out the debts accumulated by Axl on recording that album.  On mygnr a while back, someone was going over financials and at some point, they had to tour to raise cash for something/or just needed the money.  This was before Slash/Duff returned and was in the 2000s sometime.

Slash and Duff returned purely for the money and in search of the money they lost when they left the partnership in the late 90s.  They haven't been "artists" at least in GNR for a long time.  The only way we are getting new music if it someone leaks something. And that's pretty sad.   Also explains, how Slash/Duff deal with the clown show GNR management.  They don't care as long as the money keeps on rolling in.  When they do the solo stuff, they use their own managers (ie actual professionals).

“As long as the money keeps rolling in” … well what happens this NA tour when the venues they sold out in 2021 are 3/4 capacity or worse? I bought the nightrain membership for Boston GA tix at 400 a pop and can still happily go get them for face value.

Answer: not new music probably. They are far more likely to 1/ stop touring or 2/ wait a while and do a “farewell” tour.

Edit: still waiting for my Nightrain merch.

I'm quite disappointed in Duff and Slash, highly motivated individuals who can clearly makes things happen, yet they seem happy enough to just take the money

Ok do you really blame a divorced Slash and a fucking bassist for taking the bag? Sucks as a diehard fan (who wants new music) but I don’t for a second.

Edit: (who wants new music)

Really Richard? Still playing the “we don’t have a setlist” card, even though the setlist outside of a few songs has been the same for 7 years?

Just stop talking. It’s embarrassing.

I actually don’t have much of a problem with his comment. Compared to other artists there an ok amount of variety day to day. There’s just never anything new, and he definitely doesn’t promise anything new.
