Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Does anyone think its possible brain will follow buckethead and Steven And Izzy will rejoin GNR. that would be kickass i hope so?




Edit: New subject. /jarmo

Well it seems Buckethead is no longer a member of Guns N' Roses...Who do you think should/will replace him (realistically).

Im still confused on who is actually "lead" guitarist.  However its looking like Axl might be going on GNR 3.0.  I say he makes Gilby Clarke lead guitarist.  Get back to the basics, and give Clarke the opportunity to make GNR music unlike his first run with them.  

Unfortunately it seems many of the star players, such as Dave Navarro and Zakk Wylde, are no longer available and probablty weary to Axls deal.

Keep Fortus as rhythm...and if Finck leaves, keep it down to two guitarists.  Cut Pitt,an while youre at it.  I mean, we all understand how necessary it is to have a guy playing sound effects on unplugged keyboards in a rock band, but somehow I think the band will survive without him.

As for drummers (assuming Mantia leaves like many suspect he will) whos your pick?  Anybody is fine with me, from Steven Adler to Josh Freese.

And before you know it, youve got a band that resembles the look and feel of the old band. :yes:

Zacks offer still stands.

I'd say yes on the brian thing and no for now on the izzy-steven thing

I don't know who Zack is, but Zakk Wylde would be a good choice!  : ok:

I hope its a possibility, GNR need a guitarist and shortly a drummer too, but more importantly they need credibility - Izzy and Steven would combine all of that in one

Could it happen? This is GNR - anything's possible, i'm expecting Axl to quit the band next....

guilby could never handle lead in gn'r...

it would be fucking great to see izzy back in gn'r and back with axl... we know he won't tho..

I don't think so dude. :crying: :smoking:

Gilby for Bucket

Steven For Brain.

U beat me to posting this thread


Replacements:

Bryan May - i think its Axl's only hope, they are friends, Bryan doesn't have anything better to do either....and he is good enough, plus he would be a 'big name' for credibility

Drummer - Steven Adler. This guy has to be in the frame (okay i'm kidding myself) but we all know Steven would love to rejoin.

Zakk is probably my 3rd favorite guitar player. But I think hes more of a metal guitar player. GNR needs a hard rock/bluesy player like Perry, Page, Slash. And I cant think of anyone in the actual music that has that characteristic

Why the hell would Zakk want to leave BLS and OZZY, two things he's put his blood sweat and tears for into GNR, he's beeing qouted as of late as saying the only way GNR would do anything ever again is for Axl to cut the bullshit and get the original five back together.
As for Izzy and Steven I don't think they're coming back but Brain is probably out the door.

No chance...

You know he's gonna get Pauly Huge to help him out again.

I wouldnt wish anyone the stigma of being a third-generation replacement  for this band :-\

If Izzy wont even join VR, a band that already has a completed album ready, I doubt he'll join Axl's project that may be out in 04, 05, 06

Answer is no, the history says it all.

haha god that would suck if HOOGEY came back.

Zero Chance...

Izzy wouldnt even join Slash, Duff, Matts band

Do you reeeeeeeeeeeely think for 1 second he would join this mess???


Steven would join in a second.. but i dont think so Axl will let him after Steven shot Erin up with a bunch of herion...

I agree with you Booker Floyd.. get back to the basics !!!
I like Gilby !!!!!!!!

You are a dreamer !!!
I would like that too, but I think is not possible... well... Brain can left the band, he is a good friend with BH, but I think he is still on the band and Izzy/Steven... please ! It would kick ass, specially Izzy, cause I consider him an Axl the main of old GNR but it is not possible.
 :no:

And... Gilby is ok with Axl, right ? He can call him !!

Preferabley, no replacement.  Finck stays and what the hell, keep the goofy guitar puncher too..

If  a  replacement is inevitable, realistically that is, no first rate player in their right mind would take the gig.  I'm not saying a never was been like Tracii Guns, but a Gary Sunshine type would be cool.  His work in NY Loose was brilliant.

Didnt Gliby say that he knew he was out of GNR "when the checks stopped coming. I took it as a hint."?

I dont know how tight they are now, but that's gotta hurt.

Replacements:

Bryan May - i think its Axl's only hope, they are friends, Bryan doesn't have anything better to do either....and he is good enough, plus he would be a 'big name' for credibility

Brian may said he didnt wanna do big tours anymore it was too ahrd on him,id go with gilby,izzy,zack or a well known guitarist

Then GnR are the just the band for him....

What about Tracii Guns?

What is he doing these days?? :)

Zakk has stated in no uncertain terms that he will never leave Ozzy's side.  You'll never see him playing alongside anyone else, aside from BLS.



Nope.  Steven said he'll only do Guns N Roses if it were the original members.  Izzy doesn't want to be in any band with Axl.

To answer you question... Tracii got a new band with Nikki Sixx (I forgot the name) and come on,.... Tracii ?
No way.

Brides of Destruction, with Nikki Sixx.

I think for atlleast Rio, Paul will step back into the fold for his long time friend Axl. Maybe im way off, but didn't Gilby sue Axl or management after he left for unpayed royalties or something. I think its absurd to think Izzy in a million years would play under the name: "Guns N' Roses". There is nothing but animosity and hatred between him and Axl. Remember Slash said he wanted no part of any band with a singer due to his experience with Axl...Adler who knows though. He looks quite messed up and permafried judging by most interviews. If he is in dire need of a paycheck he might do it, but I truly doubt Axl would ever be interested in any gig with him. :no:

Remember back in 99 (I think) when Axl got up on stage with Gilby for a couple of tunes? I think it was Wild Horses. I hardly think they hate each other. And that was like Axl's first appearance in how long?

thats true in 99 he played at a bar it was his first appearence since like 94 and they played dead flowers and another tune

bring gilby on

Fortus is better than Gilby....

There is no need to replace buckethead....

Stop treating Gilby like a fucking puppet  :rant:

You'd think he'd join Roses N' Roses only to be thrown out a few months/years later?

He played no part whatsoever in the making of CD.

Fact is, it doesnt matter who joins does it?  Nobody in their right mind would lose all self-respect like that.

Id Love To See Slash Feel Sry For And come back

or brian may

i want a big name though

waht about u guys who do u want

No it was in 2000 not 1999. It was on Thursday June 22nd, 2000, West Hollywood, California, United States at the Cat Club. They played two songs 1. Wild Horses 2. Dead Flowers

After five years and 174 days since Axl Rose took the stage last time on Wednesday January 19th, 1994 at the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony he took the stage again on that night with his one time band member.

I think Brain must just quit also.  I hope not.  :nervous:

I'd love to see the mods lock this useless thread

I hear that, bring Buckethead back NOW.

agreed.. we dont know if hes out or not...its all speculation

they wont replace him anyways...

I?m so sad BH left... now I really don?t see a future for GNR anymore... think I?ll leave too...

But if the band ever continues to exist... get Steven or Josh Freese on drums, Fortus to co-lead guitars with Finck, as BH replacement and ANYONE else as a rythim guitar player.

It?s so sad...

bye.

what so good about buckethead

hey whats ace frehley up to these days

1.Ace Frehley(hes doin nothin)
2.Slash
3.Gilby
4.Izzy
5.Buckethead
6.Axl lol
7.Toni Iommi(hes doin nothin)
8.Brian May
9.Zakk Wylde
10.Wes Borland (Old Limp Bizkit guitar played   Good fit)

who do u guys like :peace: :hihi: : ok:

whats sad is the reaction to one MTV post... its not on Gnronline, Bucketheadland.com,  Dizzys wife said its false...
and everyone is ready to throw in the towel...  thats sad..  I hope its not true but i think they can carry on with out buckethead... no problem....Robin and Fortus are a damn good duo....

I hear there's this prodigy from the San Francisco Bay Area called Buckethead...I think he'd be a perfect fit...Bit of a strange fella though.

Joe

i know my pick will be unpopular but i say dont replace him...  Robin and Richard are great.....

IF they need to pick someone to fill in i say Paul Huge is the man..
He knows the material...
He knows the new songs...
Hes not going to ask for alot....
Axl Trusts him...

 People say he sucked but we only heard him play twice and the RIO show he was understandibly NERVOUS AS FUCK!!!

Hes not as good as Fortus but he did a good job from what i saw of him...

how about the guy from this band www.sofakingchubby.com.... ME!!! :beer:

Wes Borland or ben moody from evanescence

Well if BH is gone for good and will never come back.  It would be cool to see anyone of theses guys Gilby, Izzy or Paul.  

I just don't want to see Axl Rose playing guitar... I really hope Buckethead will be back... if not, I think Paul Tobias is the "best" option.

1.  Buckethead.
2.  Zakk Wylde

The only problem I see with the latter is collosal ego.... and this might be a lot of Robin's material, so he should get to solo on a lot of it.

Bring Brian May !!!!!   :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

without mentioning any names (because im a really nice guy :)) some of you people are fucking morons, and have no idea what your talking about.....now, on to the subjest at hand. here's my list of people likely to replace Bucket

1. nobody
2. an "unknown" guitarist
3. Zakk Wylde
4. Wes Borland
5. Dave Navarro

I'd like to see:   1.Nobody becouse there is fuk all happening anyways,so there's no reason to replace some thing that's not there or ever going to be there anyways.
2.Zakk Wylde :beer: :beer:
3.Slash  :beer:

if it's anybody but Bucket coming back or muthafuckin Slash, it'll be a sorry joke.

however, we needn't worry; unless there's some kind of covert situation going on behind the scenes, Guns N' Roses is over, as much as it pains me to say.

and it's not because Bucket's gone per se, it's because Axl can't hold the band together by doing the one thing he needs to do.....put out the album. This has gotten to be a joke.

"been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope"

This whole thread is stupid ::)

I don't think they should get anoither guitarist.

what they need is a dj to put some 'wikky-wahs' in.

maybe Mixmaster Mike  :peace:


"Take me down to Para-wikky-para-wikky-paradise City"

they can be as good as Linkin Park   :P


(sorry just bored with all these rumours and crap now  :crying:)

Who knows what will happen next. If he just keeps replacing guys, I'm not going to give a fuck anymore. Then he's just like David Lee Roth as far as I'm concerned.

No disrespect to the guys in the band but has it ever really mattered who is in? I could care less as long as they play well. Though I have grown rather attached to the new guys.

Isn't Josh Freese in Evanescence now? I really doubt he would leave a promising career with them to join Axl's freakshow...  ::)

ZAKKK WYLDE IS PERFECT. H?'s a rock and roll.
No one else. Paul is just rhytm guitarist.

I don't see Izzy n Steven commin bak

But i'm all for Brian May : ok:

BUCKETHEAD IS THE MAN!

...but, seeing as how he's not in Guns N' Roses anymore, let me offer a list of possible alternatives, even though Bucket should still be there, if Axl could get his damn act together...

1) Tom Morello
Easily the best and most original guitar hero of the 90s.  Spacey sci-fi sounds that could bring a modern edge to the Guns N' Roses sound while avoiding the noodling that Buckethead was apparently prone to.  Finally, he gives GN'R name recognition among younger rock fans.
2) Wes Borland
The less annoying focal point of Limp Bizkit has a style that could easily fill in the gap left by Buckethead's departure.  Once again, he could bring GN'R to a younger audience.  His rap-metal style would mesh well with Axl's desire to "update" the GN'R sound, even if that particular subgenre is a bit past it now.
3) Brian May
He's been working with Axl a lot over the past few years.  He has an immediately recognizable hard rock style, and he still looks pretty good for his age.  Don't know if Axl would want him, though, precisely because he suffers from the same thought patterns that afflicted many other 80s hard rock bands, i.e. that they have to "update their sound".
4) Jack White
That would just be cool to see.
5)Eddie Van Halen
What else is he going to do...play with Van Halen??

I think Fink can more than hold down the fort.

There will be no replacement.  You people need to get a clue.

WES BORLAND, are you fucking crazy man. NO WAY DUDE.
N' JACK WHITES a one power chord wonder.

If any body to be honest...................(drumroll)....................
DAVE NAVARRO people. Na c'mon listen, when i bought JANES new album (STRAYS) i checked out the group shot in the middle and as soon as i saw Mr. Navarro i thought, fuck man, you belong in gunners. His image is old school and after all, he played on OH MY GOD, but its not just about  his image, he's style is unfuckingbeleivable, its not just cool........................................................its gunners.

does anyone know the picture im on about.
he's the man im tellin' ya!! :smoking:

actually that would suck..

Wes borland/josh freese yes

My hope: TRACII GUNS

He formed gunsroses with axl. He is in brides of destruction now along with nikki sixx from motley crue.

Motley crue has a reunion set to 05 so there is a possibillity for an unemplyed tracii to join axl (in 2005 though).

http://homepage.mac.com/spollitt/STFU.mov

It's tracii playing guitar

Axl has enough of the old man/nostalgia act vibe surrounding him as it is.  I think the last thing he needs to do now is start collaborating with a Grandpa-aged guitarist from '70s rock act Queen.

Buckethead should be replaced by Buckethead! : ok:

I'm sorry to see Buckethead go if this is the case. If I'm being fair I haven't heard much of the new stuff besides Madagascar so I guess the jury is still out on how good he was for Axl.

To keep on topic, here's what I think:

Slash (but only if a re-union)

Zakk Wylde (of old, unsure about now)

John Pertrucci (but I'd hate to see him leave Dream Theater)

Ginger Wildheart - some of you may not know Ginger but I think he is an awesome guitar player - Wildhearts fans - remember a song called 'Fire Up'? - very slash!)

Jim Martin (did you know that he now grows pumpkins for a living)

Kirk Hammett (whoops I forgot he doesn't do solos now)

Justin Hawkins....just kidding but made me giggle!

Neither of these would ever happen, but if either did, I would not only stop caring about the band forever, I would also develop a suicidal urge.

Traci Gunns will never happen-BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION
Izzy? are u fuckin serious
Tom M.-have u ever herd of the band audioslave
Wes Borland-IF ANYand i meanANYperson from Limp Bizkit joins GNR i will NOT forgive AXL again that would be it
onestly 2 guitars are enough!!!!

why does everyone think that brain is leaving!!??? just b/c BH left doesnt mean that hes gonna leave!

Bryan May would be awesome. If Axl would release a fuckin' album and tour it would probably increase the chances of getting somebody of that caliber.

Well i think we've established there are plenty of replacements out there who have nothing better to do...

I don't care who is brought in as long as Robin Finck isn't playing lead......oh its just too awful to think about

Navarro?!???


Fuck that guy!  :P

j/k


But for GnR ? Nah....

Navarro no way

After hearing that JA album 'strays'...man that was rotten, i have lost all respect for him.

I'm sorry to have to admit this, but there are several people mentioned in this thread who I prefer Finck to ... and that says something, because me and Finck don't exactly get along musically.

I do hate Limp Bizkit, but keep in mind that Wes Borland ALSO hates Limp Bizkit. WB really is a talented guitar player regardless of dumb decisions he has made in the past and though he probably can't make everything look effortless like Bucket, he could probably step into the shoes of him.

I personally think they'll just keep it at 2 guitarists though. I doubt Axl wants to go on a wild goose chase for another Buckethead.

I wish people would stop talking about "Finck's goth image." He gave it up in favor of the gay milkman image - haven't you seen it? It's actually pretty cool, especially compared to the old one. And must people discredit his playing ("oh god, now we're stuck with Finck") ? Have you watched him pull off any of Slash's stuff? It's pretty sweet. I don't know if he writes awesome stuff, but I do know he can play quite nicely.

I don't remember who coined the gay milkman term, but I like it ... perfectly describes the look of that shiny white suit.

I dont think anyone will be replacing Buckethead if he's indeed gone.

Robin will do it on his own.

this is very true i read motley was gonna reunite in 05.....so what would traci do,go back to gnr ;D ;) :)

Maybe Axl should do Estranged at RIR 4 and dedicate it to Buckethead.  Might touch him and convince him to come back.

"I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you"

OR... he could dedicate those line's to... well.. SLASH!?  :hihi:

they dont need more players, finck rules! its just so many people hate him cuz he is "goth" so he doesnt fit in with whats normal. now why people loved BH, is kinda beyond my mind :p both are great players, evethough BH was a little beter  :hihi:

This is what id like to see happen

Brian May fills in on guitar at rio,then he helps axl finish off Chinese Democracy and then when Motley Crue reunites in 05 Traci Guns becomes the full time lead guitar player. then itd truly be Guns N Roses.

i also think Wes Borland would be an awsome fit.

but isnt borland a 7string player? that would be weird for GNR, but they have tried everything else so.. as long as it sounds good. tracii guns would be cool though... :D

I dont know about borland if hes a 7 stringer or not but he could fit in great with the new look and all,but traci is still my top pick or even toni iommi

Josh is in A Perfect Circle and josh helped tommy out on his solo record and has played in guns n roses before it would be a good fit but I don't think it will happen.I think the possibility of a reuion is greater now than in the past because Velvet Revolver keeps pushing the album back much like another band I know.I dont think GN'R is done yet no matter what slash or axl says you know deep inside they want to be back on stage with one another and even if izzy won't touch a reuion they can allways keep richard I like his stylr or they could get dave kushner if slash and matt would do it and if tommy leavs they can talk to duff i don't think he is as bitter as the other members are in fact I think all the bitterness is almost gone all the old guys have said they still have love for axl.These are just my thoughts.

Buckethead will be replaced by his new GNR specific persona.

I would go for Brian May

Tracii Guns is a cool option too

If Buckethead is out, Axl's got some challenge ahead of him. Apart from finding someone to replace him - and he's surely exhausted all the possibilities, given that practically every guitarist in LA's been in his new GN'R at one point or another - he's got to strip Buckethead's guitar parts from the album, re-record them with the new guitarist, rehearse with the new guitarist and the band, and possibly re-record whole tracks from the album (to get that "chemistry" that you only get from having players in a room with each other). Oh yeah, and the new boy (or girl) might want to bring their own stuff to the table in the form of new songs. And all this has to be done before Rio. And they might have to go through the whole process with a drummer, if Brain tags along with Bucket. Great. Slash must be laughing his ass off right about now...

There are possibilities though. Axl's still friendly with Zakk Wylde, isn't he? He's got the skills, and more importantly the GN'R vibe that many naysayers (myself not included) claimed Buckethead lacked. As for drummers, I suppose there's Josh Freese. Would either of these high-profile artists be willing to hitch themselves to Axl's train wreck, though? The other possibility is to do a Limp Bizkit and hold open auditions, in the hope that some unknown virtuoso might be found in a backstreet guitar shop.

Hell, it's not as if he can even phone Slash and beg him to come back. I mean, the top-hatted one has his own high-profile band that are in a great position to capitalise on the Greatest Hits release. Axl's engineered his own downfall here. :(

Sod it, I'm off to listen to some Velvet Revolver.

SG

SO BH is gone Mysteron can you confirm this.Are the rio plans still in tact

it's in the other thread. management says he has contract. take it for what it's worth.

the cancellation for Rio should happen as we get into april.

Ya they could have an audition but i cant see it happening,i think itll be someone whos already played with them.e.g brian,traci,gilby...and kinda knows the stuff

Id obviously say Slash or Izzy but failing that Tracii Guns would be good. however if Axl was gonna go back to Tracii - inparticular his style of playing, he might as well just get Slash back!

I don't know why everyone thinks Zakk Wylde has a huge ego.  He doesn't, he's just stubborn.  There's a difference.

Anyway, if he sorted out his crappy rythym tone, then I think he'd be the best man for the job, because he'd give Axl the massive kick up the backside he's been deserving for the last 5 years.

But unless Ozzy quits touring (which is very unlikely) then I don't see it happening.



But that's not gonna happen anyway.  Axl is going to leave GN'R.  Dizzy will carry on, but Axl is going to join Van Halen.  He is the perfect fit.  He's overwieght. He's an egomaniac.  His hair isn't his own.  No-one wants to work with him.  He's like Dave Lee Roth II.  :rofl: :rofl:

I would like to hear Greg Mackintosh (from british Paradise Lost) as a guest musician on a song or two.

Dave Mustaine

no can do. he had to quit megadeth because he has some troubles with his nerves so that his hand twiches now and then. poor guy  :crying:

Im positive that none of these will ever happen, but if they did then GNR would be right bk at the top where they belong (but not better than axl slash, that will always be GNR)

Van Halen
STEVE VAI
or Zakk Wylde :)

Fish

Actually Daves hand is ok now. And there will be new Megadeth album released soon.

I must again remind some people that Zakk Wylde stated that he would not leave Ozzy EVER.  That means he WILL NOT be playing with Axl.

True Zack did say that and plus i dont think hed fot that well in Guns N Roses.... so id still love to see brian play at rio with them then traci,gilby or wes join the band :) ;) ;D :yes: :beer:

What about Ben Moody from Evanesence? I'm not a fan of his, but he's pretty good, and he's out a job right now. Plus he plays the piano like Axl...

No one.  Buckethead will still be in the band until he says he's not in the band so this topic should be locked this band needs to stay the same.

I like ur style dude!!!

i agree, i don't believe MTv, and if anyone can replace buckethead is DeathCubeK  :hihi:

Slash - of course. If the other one, either Axl or Slash apologizes or asks about joining GN'R again, it would happen, but....

Axl Rose
Slash
Duff McKagan
Izzy Stradlin
Steven Adler

Now if that was the new GN'R lineup Axl wouldnt have a problem selling out concerts!!!!!! I dont think Axl could get Stradlin back but if he got his shit together and stop with all the bull shit there is no doubt in my mind that Slash, Duff and Adler would come back.

i love this guy!
since when do we believe fucking MTV??!!

uhm... you DO know buckethead dont speak?



or maybe this is a option: buckethead is no longer buckethead... he took the mask and bucket off....  :hihi: :rofl:

i just posted in another thread, but the buzz in the industry is that Brian May will most likely be the one to replace the Bucket...
whether or not it happens, it is a sign that at least they are trying to do damage control, find a replacement, carry on, etc..

Brian May, if anyone.

yes

PILFERK!
Maybe instead of making ridiculous comments, you should get off unemployment and get a job!!!  And if you say you have one, then you need to ask your boss for more work!!!
Say something interesting or dont say anything at all

1) Drink less caffine.  It'll help both the verbal diahrea and the shakes.  : ok:

2) It's hardly a ridiculous comment.  It's a thread about who we think could replace BH....I'm giving my opinion.

3) I have a job...a very good one.  I also have more than enough work to keep me busy. However, I'm also quite skilled at multitasking, and posting here doesn't exactly take a whole lot of attention.

4) As opposed to you? Who has posted once??  And I would venture that a good number of people do think I say interesting things....If you'd prefer not to read them..skip 'em.  I assure you, my feelings will not be hurt.

5) Read the forum rules.  Elsewise, your post count might not climb much past its' current level.

Have a GREAT DAY! :hihi:

Don't you think it will be another Supergroup thing.. Like the guy from STP or Kim Thayill from Soundgarden?

If you were talking to me...which I don't know if you were because I didn't read most of the thread...then I'd like to point out I was merely contemplating the idea that Ozzy may not continue for that much longer.  I mean, after the quad bike thing, who knows?  I know he's doing Ozzfest, and I'm sure Sharon will keep him going as long as is humanly possible (and probably quite a bit further), but the amount of drugs he's taken is enough to kill about 30 people so...

LOL, that's what I was thinking.  Axl could grab Dean DeLeo and we could compare which GN'R-STP combo is better.  :hihi:

Maybe they could grab the guitar player from Blind Melon...  Axl must've had a few run-ins with the guys from that band back when Shannon was alive.

Or maybe Lenny Kravitz?  He knows where it's at ("Life is all about Guns & Roses").   : ok:

Maybe Bucket will come in with a whole new persona and this is part of the masterplan of Axl's comeback.  To stir it up a bit and then tour proving that the internet really is a "big garbage can".  I have a feeling he'll be repeating this same quote at RIR4!

Buckethead does not need to be replaced.

Richard Fortus & Robin Finck are more than capable!

Yeah for most bands, but not for GNR......

I keep hearing things about this second coming of Christ, maybe he will be interested.

WOOWWWWWW
that was hard!  :rofl:

let?s start another rumor!

EXTRA! EXTRA!
Ben Moody got a call from Axl Rose ( yes, he?s alive! ) asking if he wanted to joying the GRN freak show this year, the whole Evanescence was standing in front of Ben when he picked the phone, wanna know his words?!

Ben: "hello?"

.
.
.
(Ben start to shake)
.
.

Amy: "Ben, why are you crying?"

Ben on the phone: "ok... ok... ok.......................ok, bye."

Evanescence: "ben, what?s going on?!"

Ben: "screw you evaneshit... hahaha"

and now the band is reharshing fron the RIR Lisbon Gig  : ok:

( in the gramys Ben did look like a fat axl?s brother hehe )

If Axl does get a replacement it should be a noname guy like Fortus was. Borland, Moody and whoever else you may have named from an Emo or NuMetal band already has a history. Axl's GNR needs to be about Axl. He needs to be the main attraction, not some "name" guitarist that draws 12 year old girls

I think Buckets replacement is going to be Death Cube K   :hihi:

If buckethead has left i'll be VERY disappointed.  I'd love to see Brian Caroll as his replacement at Rio tho.

Slash. Sorry, I'm not very creative.

According to the following site, the replacement will be a cahp named 'Damien Fenton'?!  :rofl: (Errrm, take it with a hefty pinch of salt)

http://www.914pictures.com/thecompany.html

Maybe not, but you're rational.    : ok:

I know he just formed a new band, but Rogers Stevens would be fuckin awesome in GN'R!
(ex- Blind Melon lead guitarist) :yes:

Do we even know if Buckethead is out for sure?  I hate threads like these, if GN'R REALLY want to succeed they actually need to keep the same lineup together.  I wish Mysteron could bring us something on Bucket or gnronline would actually give us some credible information.  I'm sure thats everyones thoughts right now!

who is this ZIM ZUM guitarist thats rumored now to take over for Bhead??? he looks like robin...

Listen people, Buckethead is gone. Live with it. For fucks sake...

where did you hear that?

he was Marilyn Manson's guitarist on Mechanical Animals.

(he was rumoured to have turned down GnR in 2000 http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=302)

cool thanks for the link... I had never heard of him.. I read his name actually for the 1st time tonite on the VH1 board... ill look for the link...I belive the rumor has made its way over to that  GnR rumors Gola board as well..  if plays like he looks it would make life with out the bucket a little easier.....he looks like a bad ass..

I say Tom Morello he's pretty good and with today's sound.

I dont know if he's on any projects atm so yeh

Tom Morello i think is working on a new audioslave album, how about Pat Smear.

I've heard that Jerry Cantrell and Billy Duffy were working together... I like 'em both (Jerry is a guitar god!!!!!!!!!!! Degradation trip vol. 1 & 2 = masterpiece), so...what about one of 'em?
Three guitarists: Jerry Cantrell = lead (a little metal, technical)
                           Billy Duffy = other lead (more "rock n' roll" than Jerry maybe)
                           Richard Fortus = rythm (and some leads, he's fuckin' good!)
I like Robin Fink too, so...what about Guns n' roses with FOUR guitarists? ;D

The only person who can fill BH shoes is Slash.

Slash, Steven, Izzy, Duff, Axl (and Mr. Diswald Reed on keyboards)

That line up constitutes the best band ever even though they are non existant.
