Title: Ajax Garcia Post by: Shallowdeep on March 03, 2006, 08:59:44 AM Does anyone remember this guy? If i remember right he confirmed that he was approached to replace Buckethead, which would make him atleast to my knowledge the only guitarist who has publicly commented on being approached?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned him lately with all the new tour dates being announced. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Gaymo, the Hobbit on March 03, 2006, 09:02:00 AM hm yea i remember, that was just right after bucket has left. but i don't think he'd be playing,otherwise there would've been more rumours and stuff, don't u think?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned him lately with all the new tour dates being announced. Well, it's kinda old news. ?Axl didn't want the guy after all. ?It's kinda like bringing up Bumblefoot. ?He ran his mouth and thats why he couldn't join. ? Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Shallowdeep on March 03, 2006, 09:05:32 AM hm yea i remember, that was just right after bucket has left. but i don't think he'd be playing,otherwise there would've been more rumours and stuff, don't u think? Well its my understanding that if Axl wants to continue the three guitarist thing then he would of had to recruit someone after Buckets departure unless he is playng guitar himself. And at present to my knowledge there hasn't been any serious rumours suggesting anyone will be replacing Bucket. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: pilferk on March 03, 2006, 09:06:13 AM Well, it's kinda old news. ?Axl didn't want the guy after all. ?It's kinda like bringing up Bumblefoot. ?He ran his mouth and thats why he couldn't join. ? Yeah, both Bumblefoot and Ajax broke the first rule of Guns n Roses membership: Don't talk about Guns n Roses. Rule number 2? Don't talk about Guns n Roses. :) Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Mateoson on March 03, 2006, 09:06:26 AM What about Bumble Foot... or whatever the fuck his name was? haha....
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Shallowdeep on March 03, 2006, 09:07:58 AM Who is Bumblefoot? What band is he in? And how do we know that Axl didn't want Ajax? Was this in the original article? Is there a link to this Bumblefoot article/interview?

Well its my understanding that if Axl wants to continue the three guitarist thing then he would of had to recruit someone after Buckets departure unless he is playng guitar himself. And at present to my knowledge there hasn't been any serious rumours suggesting anyone will be replacing Bucket. If he has chosen a 3rd guitarist, it'll probably be someone rather obscure. ?Buckethead wasn't as well known before GNR, kinda like the other guitarists. ? They we're known, but nowhere near as much as now. I'm excited to see who Axl brings to the stage. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Pingouirose on March 03, 2006, 09:11:55 AM I still listen to Ajax songs, it rocks :P
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Shallowdeep on March 03, 2006, 09:12:19 AM Quote yes!!! buta ?fact...ajax was never asked to join, Ron Thal was.....asked to join...but I think that the man that would be a cool remplace for Buckethead is Buckethed himself or JOHN 5...Quote Ron Thal? Is he in a band? If so who? Again is there a link to the story where this info comes from? Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 03, 2006, 09:15:20 AM Quote yes!!! buta ?fact...ajax was never asked to join, Ron Thal was.....asked to join...but I think that the man that would be a cool remplace for Buckethead is Buckethed himself or JOHN 5...Quote Ron Thal? Is he in a band? If so who? Again is there a link to the story where this info comes from? Ron Thal is Bumblefoot.? Do a google search for him.? He is a amazing guitar player, but a rather strange cat.? He was offered to join GNR, but Ron kept yapping about the process on his website, so Axl didn't dig that too much and cut him loose. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Lipfel on March 03, 2006, 09:21:31 AM Didn't Axl say that he was scared of Ajax, because he compared Nirvana to the Beatles?? :hihi:
Edit: A message from management; - Please let everyone know we (including Tommy!) have never heard of Ajax and while we appreciate his kind words he should focus on letting his music do the talking rather than jumping on the GN?R band wagon. When asked Axl said, ?I'd be wary of anyone who compared Nirvana to the Beatles.? - Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Shallowdeep on March 03, 2006, 09:25:10 AM So i guess no one seems to think that its possible that Ajax will be joining the band on stage in 2006?
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: RnT on March 03, 2006, 09:27:44 AM again, Axl, if you need a 3rd guitarrist, BRING NUNO BITTENCOURT !!
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: PJ on March 03, 2006, 09:35:38 AM ajax garcia was promoting himself... he wasnt asked to join...
and ron thal also wasnt asked to join, was asked to do a couple of sessions... Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 03, 2006, 09:39:07 AM and ron thal also wasnt asked to join, was asked to do a couple of sessions... Yea, I think you're right on that.

Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: elevendayempire on March 03, 2006, 12:47:56 PM Ron Thal's a good guy and a fantastic guitarist. He wasn't "shooting his mouth off" over GN'R; word leaked that he'd been approached, and he (not unreasonably) wanted to set the record straight about what was going on - because mad GN'R fans were e-mailing him and bombarding his forum with questions and hearsay. Unfortunately, in Axl's world, "keeping the public informed" is equivalent to, "shooting your mouth off", and Thal was summarily dismissed...
SG Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: SOLGER on March 03, 2006, 12:58:03 PM I?m rooting for ALEXI LAIHO...he has the technique of steve vai and the fury presence on stage of Zack Wylde

Unfortunately, in Axl's world, "keeping the public informed" is equivalent to, "shooting your mouth off", and Thal was summarily dismissed... SG This is true. Ron should never have approached the subject. I am actually happy we are not exposed to the ferocity of the double swiss cheese guitar. It just doesn't work for me.

SG See my earlier "Fight Club" inspired post. :) The rules of the "Brotherhood of GnR" seem to include at least a partial vow of silence. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on March 03, 2006, 01:39:24 PM Id still like to see John 5 join gnr.
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 03, 2006, 01:42:53 PM Id still like to see John 5 join gnr. So would I. He's wasting his time with Zombie...that new single of his is horrendous. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: PJ on March 03, 2006, 01:45:39 PM ron thal would have been an awesome replacement of BH... i think the best replacement...
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Fortus on March 04, 2006, 08:23:06 AM the two favourites are Ron Thal and John 5..similar style of playing anyways
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: nesquick on March 04, 2006, 08:40:40 AM No need a 3rd guitar player.
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Mandy. on March 04, 2006, 08:52:43 AM Do they really need 3 guitarrists?
Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: Disco Volante on March 04, 2006, 10:29:43 AM No need a 3rd guitar player. I'm starting to think Nesquick is Axl considering his know-all knowledge and his hatred of Buckethead. And if you aren't Axl, it seems like he already let you get a preview of Chinese Democracy. It must be Nesquick who is leaking all the tracks. Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on March 04, 2006, 11:20:39 AM No need a 3rd guitar player. Yes there is esp if the songs were written for 3 guitar players Title: Re: Ajax Garcia Post by: littleredcorvette on March 04, 2006, 11:39:32 AM Madagascar is built around three lead guitars. Listen to the outro of the Cleveland soundboard; it couldn't be anywhere near as powerful without three leads.
