Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Well, I offically don't care about GNR anymore...Buckethead was the only interesting part of the new lineup.  Since BH and Brain are such good friends, I find it hard to imagine that Brain will stay...especially if Axl does his usual "bashing ex-bandmates" schtick...Brain won't stand for that...

Does anyone actually still believe "Chinese Democracy" is coming out?  Now all BH's parts will have to be re-recorded...and by who...Axl?  Please Axl...don't be a COMPLETE freak...you are NOT a guitar player...you never have been and never will be...stick to singing.  Good guitar players start playing during childhood...you started when you were 30...get a clue.

On a more positive note...Brian Wilson's "Smile" is apparently finally getting a release...maybe in 2030 we'll see CD...but I doubt it.

How long can one album possibly take?  Axl is one messed up dude...he's the ONLY reason it's taking so long.  Maybe the vocals really are shit...maybe he does have huge writer's block.  Either way, he's running out of people to blame.

So I guess I'll just keep following Buckethead and the other cool bands out there who actually make and release music...I hope the rest of you diehards have plenty of...ahem...patience.

I totally lost exitation. I don't know why but I don't care anymore of that circus. That's too much. too much. Axl should just "live and let die". He is hurting Guns n' Roses name now. If it's too hard for him, just give up man!

you two are so full of bullshit.

My question isnt "is buckethead gone"

My question is how many people are going to start threads about the same thing??

i agree you two are full of bullshit..

If we are so full of bullshit, could you please explain your opinion with some speaking points?  I would really like to know how all this shit got in here...

You, my enemy, are the one who is full of ______ (I'll let you insert your own colorful adjective here...you seem to be such a scholar).  You and your sidekick above must be the world's last eternal optimists.

How can you honestly believe that Axl is miraculously going to right the ship after all this bullshit?  Face it...BH was the only new member that the general fanbase was excited about...now he's gone and so is everything that was "cool" about the new lineup.  Brain will leave soon...Axl is too big an asshole to not bash BH...his pride won't let it die.

There is no more Guns N' Roses...there will never be a Chinese Democracy album.  Geffen will more than likely drop Axl after the Greatest Hits lawsuit...they will probably just make enough off of the collection to pay for all the damn studio time he's cost them.  After that, no major will touch him...he's too big a risk.

Axl has to have the biggest fucking ego on the planet...who else would still call themselves "Guns N' Roses" with only one original member?  Who else would spend YEARS making an album and act like the world owes him more time?  Who else would let ultra-talented musicians come and go (BH, Josh Freese, etc.) who might actually help make the album even better?

His behavior was OK when GNR were still kicking ass...now all we have is a lame MTV appearance in which he confirmed the music world's assumptions...he's lost it, and a handful of live appearances over the course of four years during which the setlist hardly changed at all.  In FOUR YEARS Axl can't introduce a new song into the set?

You guys have fun waiting on nothing together...I'm sure Axl's "masterpiece" will be worth the wait...

First off, brain wont leave since he was in gnr before BH was.
2nd, axl wont bash BH since axl loves the guy, plus axl didnt bash freese when he left, axl thanked him for his time.
3rd I think BHs parts will remain on CD since it will take too long to redo the parts and i dont think the other members want to wait for that.
BH probaly told axl he can use his parts on cd and not get royalties if axl lets him out of his contract.

Brain has a 'brain' of his own, he ain't some lost sheep who will do whatever Bhead does....

It all depends how tight Axl is really wrapped.

Brain may leave if Axl is having a serious issue with getting his shit together.

I don`t think Brain would leave simply because Buckethead left.

I don't know if it's because Brain is too smart to leave or to dumb to leave, but I doubt he will leave for some reason.

Is it a possibility that wherever Buckethead goes, Brain goes? If so, I thin we may see Buckethead re-emerge with Guns when theyre ready to start this thing

BHs parts are rumored to be left on the album but that was over a year ago. But Robin nor Richard have told us they have been back in the studio. Someone needs to ask the members if BHs parts are staying again.

clearly the man is not talking shit
I love Axl, but without a word from the redhead, the only thing we can think is something like that

   2 pathetic posts.  Sweet Black Magic held out for 3 posts before quitting.  See ya!  Davegnfnr2k has it right.  If Brain left, that's his prerogative.  CD will come when it comes. :)     

Rita Wilde from 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles on the rock report today said something about a Guns n Roses release, sometime in November 2005, did anybody here about this.

Well this thread has gained one good thing. Hopefully it has got rid of two negative, non beleiving so called fans! You should have just kept the faith a little longer! Mind you if you think Buckethead was the only good thing about the band then you cant really be that knowledgable about the band anyway! Goodbye negative people! Mind you I have a hunch that you will be back on this board, most people who say they hate the band or Axl and are leaving more than often dont!

Brain likes money...

I always find it so interesting all these "fans" that don't "believe" in Guns anymore, but they seem to continue to post on Guns messageboards. There's a simple solution to you folks, LEAVE. No one cares about you, your thoughts, rumours, bullshit, etc.

/Dignan.

A few days ago a dj on Krock here in nY said that CD was slated for December. SHe said that was the latest rumor.

i think these djs get thier info from the internet so I wouldnt put too much stock in it. We will be the 1st to know when the album has a date. When you are reading a gnr press release that is when everything will be legit.

hey , thanks I should of known better

You have obviously become too attached to this band. Basically no one knows anything and no one will know anything until Axl speaks! Axl is Axl, in all honesty he doesnt owe anybody anything, he is making the album that he wants to make. I respect the guy, he has to be the last remaining musician on the planet who has been able to do what he wants to do on his own schedule, sticking two fingers up at the record industry in the process. We are fans we dont need to be giving Axl anymore shit than he has to deal with. The guy is getting sued left right and center by numerous people and regardless of how good this album is he is going to get loads more shit from the press.

The world doesnt owe Axl anything!

If you believe the current rumours then the final preparations for the albums release are being made, not by Geffen, not by Interscope who own Geffen, but by Universal who through UMG own Geffen and numerous other record labels. In other words screw Geffen! In the grand scheme of things they dont deal with anything.

As for your point about letting "great" musicians come and go, in all honesty who cares Axl doesnt need these people to stay in the band.... Brain May, Josh Freese, Zakk Wylde etc are very very talented players and what Axl has done is he has bought in all of these musicians, switched on the mic and recorded everything they played. Then once they are out he has gone through the recordings and taken out the best bits that they played. In other words he is going to have an album of riffs, licks, and rythem parts etc that come from some of the most talented musicians in the world.  Buckethead was meerly a guitar player who happened to be good enough to play all of the stuff that had come from various sources!

Just my opinion on things.

This is a one-year-old thread, and Sweet black magic is now gone. It has become irrelevant.
