If chinese democracy sells boatloads of cds (millions) then I'd be surprised if the the thought of returning to gnr doesn't torment them on a daily basis (whether they like the thought or not). I bet they thought thos day would never happen.

Something to remember...Bucket has rejoined before. Maybe a bigger coop or his own personal chicken tour bus might be enough to persuade him to come back...

I love Bucket's work, haven't heard much of his other stuff but GNR and The Big Eyeball in The Sky impressed me.

The question I had, is what did he expect when he got involved with Axl? He's hardly renowned for being 'normal' or 'easy to work with' or even releasing albums regularly

I really hope we hear more of Bucket's contributions on future albums.

Nope - I agree there's not much in this for the hardcore fans that will buy the album.

To be fair I think this isn't really aimed that the hardcore fans.
