Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Anyone think it's possible Chris Pittman might sample some of Bucketheads parts and play them through his keyboard during concerts?? ?

no

I was just thinking that this would avoid recruiting a third guitarist.  Also, Axl said that this would be a complex record.  I've seen the band Mr. Bungle live and the music they make is very experimental and complex.  They sample some of the instruments when they play live.  And isn't Chris Pittman in Guns N' Roses for his samples, loops, and additional keyboards?

I would say Robin and Richard will take turns on Buckets parts.

...unless they hire Vernon Reid, which they should...

absolutely not.

dave matthews does it  ::)

Yeah, I honestly don't know if anyone, well at least in the current GN'R lineup, can play Bucket's parts.  I don't even want to imagine Robin trying to play them...j/k...

Lol I actually thought about this a couple weeks ago...but I don't think it would happen. I think that yeah, Richard or Robin will take them over as best they can or re-interpret them, or there will be a 3rd guitarist revealled to take it over. Or Bucket will come back if they offer him enough money.

I actually think that Richard and Robin will take them over. But who really knows?

i heard slash is coming back to  add some melody to the chicken man's choppy thrashing parts..... sorryt clearly jokeing.. but still hoping it happens...
anyway.. fortis and fink should just play there take on buckets parts... i think if either try to copy it note for note it would be pretty awful..

I don't think they'd want him back anyway. They said he just joined for self promotion....

If you've written and recorded music that requires three guitarists, one being Buckethead, then you should have three guitarists to perform that music, including one who can emulate Buckethead.

No... don't think so

Does anyone think... people could use a bit more describing thread names?

how's about you just wait....and see what happens?

Yes Sir.  I sincerley apologize for starting a topic on a message board.

No need to apologize, but it would be nice if people used titles that gave away the content of the thread, such as ' pittman samples bucket's parts???' That way people remember what the thread was about, read it when there is a new post if they're interested or leave it. Then they won't have to click on the thread to see what it was about.  : ok:

Thank you, see you changed the title. Hope you understand I didn't mean to critisize you or anything. It was just a suggestion. Rock on!

Absurd! Why?

Good idea....

Bucket sounds sometimes as Prince Of Persia

They could sample his little 5-10 second solos that may occur in some songs... however the longer ones would obviously have to be played by someone.

No.

I hope Buckethead's solos stay on the album, because they are awesome on all the new songs we've heard, especially TWAT.  But they shouldn't sample them live.  If Buckethead doesn't return for the tour, they should hire a 3rd guitarist capable of playing them and improvising a little with them.  Finck and Fortus aren't capable of doing the things Buckethead does, neither of them would be able to play those solos, so they need a third guitarist who can or at least who can come close
