Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: badintentions on November 29, 2004, 05:18:59 PM John 5.....most people are just familar with his work with Manson, but he can play a lot of differant things. i also think he would work well with finck (once again, not just because of the manson connection with nin).

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: oneway23 on November 29, 2004, 05:41:56 PM There's no one around worthy of the spot.....Mr. Carmen Electra is too damn clinical for GNR....I know, I know, I agree Zakk Wylde is great, but not for GNR...
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: W. Botaxl Rose on November 29, 2004, 06:16:28 PM Yes, John 5 would be a good choice at the moment.

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Timmy on November 29, 2004, 07:29:25 PM Jennifer Batten or Brian May
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Jim on November 29, 2004, 07:47:28 PM I'd move it or close it if I had the power.
Because the intention is there, do I get your nod for next GNR guitarist? Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Mateoson on November 29, 2004, 08:26:53 PM Use Dead Horse for questions like that,please No offense or anything, but pretty much every single topic in this forum could be considered "dead horse". We don't have any news whatsoever... so lighten up a little bit. As soon as we get some official revealing news and/or album, topics like this will go away. I promise. In the meantime.... My vote would go to Buckethead replacing himself!!! Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: cumbum on November 29, 2004, 08:38:29 PM Buckethead is pretty great, and it would be great if he could replace himself. ;P
I would have to say either Brian May or Jimmy Paige. *shrug* Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: nesquick on November 29, 2004, 08:38:56 PM No replacement.
Fortus/finck is a great pair of guitarists in my opinion and they are enough talented to do the job. They really have chemistry together. you can see it on "nightrain" at chicago and MSG 2002. Just give more guitar solos to Fortus. and with 2 guitarists the band is more cohesive, tighter. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: michaelvincent on November 29, 2004, 09:22:33 PM Hey, my first post! How about that?
Let's just pretend for the sake of this thread that it is a confirmed thing that GnR will be carrying on with 3 guitarists. Now, there are so many great players out there with such different styles that any one of them could be a fit for GnR, and take the sound in a totally different direction. I'm not of the school of thought that 'so and so would be a terrible fit for GnR' because frankly that was out the window when Buckethead joined. I personally thought that it was exciting that we were getting this new band with these exciting players, and it will be cool to see who else comes aboard in the coming years. But on to the guitarists (in no particular order, just off the top of my head)....obviously this is all one guy's opinion, but I will do my best to explain my reasons.... 1. Marc Ford (ex-Black Crowes) - If we were to see GnR make a return to the sort of old school sound of old Marc Ford would be a great lead player for the band. I could hear him working nicely against Fortus's rhythm work, with a nice warm tone and a great style and skill in his solo's. 2. Billy Morrison (ex-Cult, Doheney, Camp Freddy) - I beleive there was some talk of him in the past (rumors of course), but another guy with some nice rhythm chops and rock n roll attitude. Stick him on rhythm, give Fortus and and Robin lead and let them loose. (imagine Ford, Fortus and Morrison heading up the GnR guitar beast, that would be a hot sound!) 3. Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle, ex-Faith No More, Secret Cheifs) - Why not? He falls squarely into that Buckethead 'fringe' category, but he is versed in many styles, and can play his ass off. He would be a great guy to replace Buckethead with. Not quite are 'rock' as the others but he could carry GnR's sound to some interesting places. The fact that he wrote many of the songs and produced much of Bungle's California should say something about his skill in the studio as that album was dense as hell. 4. Marc Ribot (Tom Waites, John Zorn) - Let's reach way into left field here. If Axl wants to really do something drastic with GnR's sound then Ribot would be an interesting fit. I guess if I could say something about his style I would call him a minimalist Buckethead: lots of chops, but very spare with his notes. His phrasing is very non-traditional without any of that shredapalooza craziness that Buckethead of Bumblefoot get into. 5. Peter Distefano (Porno For Pyros) - Kind of that textural Love and Rockets meets Dave Navarro kind of vibe, but can definitely rock when need be. Might be good with Fortus and Finck, as I see him as kind of being between the two of them. Leave the traditional solos to Fortus and Finck and give the more textural work to Distefano. Could be interesting. Like I said, I'm kind grabbing non-obvious guys when I can because Axl's whole idea behind the new GnR was to go places the old GnR couldn't or wouldn't. I'll add some more if I think of them.

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: YouCouldBeMine on November 29, 2004, 10:18:39 PM I would vote Jesus ::)
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Spartikcus on November 29, 2004, 10:56:12 PM Slash. ;D
Just kidding (not really). Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on November 29, 2004, 11:27:25 PM No replacement. Fortus/finck is a great pair of guitarists in my opinion and they are enough talented to do the job. They really have chemistry together. you can see it on "nightrain" at chicago and MSG 2002. Just give more guitar solos to Fortus. and with 2 guitarists the band is more cohesive, tighter. Agree. Two guitarists such as Fortus and Finck are more than capable. Or better yet... each new album has a different guest guitarist to give it a unique sound. CD has Buckethead. I know I`m looking waaay ahead on this one... Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: killingvector on November 30, 2004, 12:55:47 AM I don't think Finck and Fortus is enough to generate the excitment this band had when Big B was still involved. B's departure was a terrible loss. If the new band was to take off, he was the new member most likely to become a superstar.
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Chief on November 30, 2004, 01:23:13 AM just FYI, although Marc Ford is an amazing guitarist, he has been asked at least once to join Guns but he declined.
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: SADIS on November 30, 2004, 03:23:19 AM Buckethead a star? He would be one of the reasons why everyone (at least in Europe) would laugh at them. Don't forget that Slash is really, really popular and gets a lot of sympathy from the casual fans.
I think the best replacement now would be Slash. I'm not "living in the past" or crap like that. But the reason I'm here is because of the old GNR, they created the sound I so deeply love. I still give them a chance though, the new GNR. I hope they will be great. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Butch Français on November 30, 2004, 03:24:58 AM DAVE NAVARRO
or Rogers Stevens, but I think Dave would suit this band better. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: W. Botaxl Rose on November 30, 2004, 05:44:28 AM Haha, Marc Ford!?! Mine as well have Izzy play lead then. Ford is a broke as a joke version of Slash. & that ain't gonna cut it.
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: One in a million on November 30, 2004, 06:32:39 AM At least not a guitarist that have a history with a big rock band in the past and I don't think that will be the scenario.
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: leesixxrose on November 30, 2004, 07:57:11 AM If i could pick bh's replacement it would be ME...
id love to be the lead guitar player for guns n roses... I could hang out and get all the free studio time i wanted... I could record and tour a solo album with all my crappy songs that nobody would give a shit about... People would come to my solo shows and buy me free booze and free weed and pussy just hoping that i would give any information about chinese democracy.. my answer everytime would be "Soon" I would get paid alot of money and not really have to do a whole fuck ton of work... Top it off with all the contacts i would be making and free gear i could get .. I could do anything i wanted just coz i was the "lead guitarist for guns n roses" Yep i think i would like to be the replacement for Buckethead .. :peace: Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: greekmule on November 30, 2004, 08:10:31 AM warren haynes.He's the man
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: oneway23 on November 30, 2004, 09:05:16 AM I like the Marc Ribot idea....that's actually really intriguing...Then, of course, you'd have to put Joey Baron on drums....
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Buckethead Superstar on November 30, 2004, 09:16:49 AM Justin Hawkins from The Darkness. How cool would that be? to most, probably not that cool, but to me that would kick ass...
specially if he did some of his awsome raw power solo's. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: nesquick on November 30, 2004, 09:45:42 AM Quote Buckethead a star?

Warren works to hard. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Assman on November 30, 2004, 11:26:31 AM The worst decision would be to bring in a guitarist with a lot of bagage. Like Jimmy Page (even though he is a great guitarist), Brian May or someone like that. They have to work under the G n?R - umbrella, not be the Zeppelin-guitarist that signed for Guns for a while in the end of his career.
I want someone that is relatively, or completely, new and who is totally commited. But hopefully no one will replace Bucketheads parts on the record. Cause then its just another excuse why the record won't come out yet. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Saul on November 30, 2004, 03:53:46 PM Death Cube K : ok:
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Rainbow Warrior on November 30, 2004, 06:44:59 PM Good old Gilby Clarke !? : ok:
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: jimmythegent on November 30, 2004, 08:27:56 PM I honestly can't think of anyone more ideal than Dave Navarro, one of my all time favs (after Mr Saul Hudson)
I really want to hear Buckethead on Chinese Democracy and am hoping for a reconciliation Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Mattman on November 30, 2004, 11:56:47 PM Ya know what, I'm gonna say it right now - I can't stand Dave Navarro. Guy used to be cool back in the day, but now he's just the guitar go-to-guy who whores himself out to everybody. It seems like there's a million singles that "feature Dave Navarro on guitar!" When you start to play with Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey, sorry, you're no longer an uber-rock guitarist in my book. Also, he gets to bang Carmen Electra regularly. That makes him cool, but it also makes me despise him. :hihi:
My vote would go to somebody like Steve Vai. He could add some much-needed levity to nuGNR. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Crashdiet on December 01, 2004, 03:22:00 AM Vitto Bratta
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: shaun on December 01, 2004, 03:51:28 AM It's all very well people saying get Slash back, but Slash has moved on, he's in a new band ;) besides which, i wonder what Slash would sound like playing what Buckethead has contributed to the new GN'R. There is only one Buckethead, they should get him back.
The big problem with the new GN'R is, the more band members leave GN'R, the more difficult it will be to find some who A.is good enough and B.is prepared to learn all GN'R songs played live and is prepared to stand there on a stage while fans waving banners reading *where's Slash?* or *where's Buckethead?* - it seems as if a huge hole is being dug and it's getting deeper? ;D Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: leesixxrose on December 01, 2004, 03:54:07 AM i still say im the perfect replacement...

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: leesixxrose on December 01, 2004, 06:36:47 AM It's all very well people saying get Slash back, but Slash has moved on, he's in a new band ;) I bet a million dollar on it that if they work out their differences Slash would get up there with GNR. i bet he would too... he would get up there and play ... going on tour or in the studio with mr rose i would bet No, No, No... i would love to see slash and rose together again.. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Cocaine__tongue on December 01, 2004, 09:55:19 AM I wouldn't get a replacement either. 2 guitarrists are enough imo.
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Dont Try Me on December 01, 2004, 03:47:59 PM I don't want to see musicians on stage who can't stand eachother...... that's on the slash subject ::)
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: WAR? on December 01, 2004, 09:40:04 PM If they insisted on a 3rd (I think they're good w/Finck N' Fortus)
1. Jerry Cantrell or 2. Zakk Wylde Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: mikegiuliana on December 01, 2004, 09:43:19 PM No one two should be sufficent
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Rainbow Warrior on December 01, 2004, 10:19:56 PM It?s a matter of charisma and skill. I think Gilby?s possesses both and furthermore he?s got a GNR-history in the 90?s along with Axl. The talk about "Slash going back" should be a discussion whether a reunion of GNR is possible and not about the present Axl-Rose-Band !!? :(
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: greekmule on December 02, 2004, 08:35:50 AM warren haynes.He's the man Good choice but Warren wouldn'y put up with Axl for 5 minutes.? Warren works to hard. yeah, warren has played over 1500 concerts since 1995. :peace: Axl on the other hand... 8) by the way cool nickname : ok: Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Pryor Murphy on December 02, 2004, 02:56:22 PM i don't know who would be the right guitarist for GN'R. But I Think it would be amaizing to saw Angus Young playing on the stage with Axl. Just for that one time. Because Angus & Axl are both so energized show-men, it would be intersting to see. 8)
Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: MinnSoulOne on December 02, 2004, 04:54:27 PM they should bring someone new up, there are tons of outstanding guitarist out there trying to prove a point. I think it would sweet to see someone new get a chance to tear it up!

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: willow on December 02, 2004, 06:08:25 PM What we've heard so far only requires 2 guitar players, but we haven't heard the other material. It sounds like Axl has created a sound that would require 3 players. Just trying to back up the guy, if he thinks he needs 3, then go and get one Axl!!

Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: Elrothiel on December 02, 2004, 06:49:35 PM Ya know who I think should be Buckethead's replacement? NUNO BETTENCOURT!!! He fucking rules! Has anyone heard his guitar playing in Extreme? Especially the song Play With Me which is on their first album, and on the Best Of album too. It kicks MAJOR ass!
I say again...... NUNO BETTENCOURT!!! If they can't get him, then Steve Vai or Tony Iommi. Title: Re: if you could pick bh's replacement who would it be Post by: dont_damn_me on December 02, 2004, 08:23:41 PM How bout Axl??.. I thought he was learning guitar back in the late 90's?
