Title: Guitarists Post by: AxlsSweetChild on May 22, 2006, 03:37:44 PM I'm a little confused on who is playing lead and who is playing rhythm guitar, feedback would be great
Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: Captain P?l on May 22, 2006, 03:43:39 PM noone and everyone,....
they split it about even. Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: wells on May 22, 2006, 03:43:52 PM I'm a little confused on who is playing lead and who is playing rhythm guitar, feedback would be great I think the most fair thing to say would be: Robin Finck; rhythm & lead Richard Fortus; rhythm & lead Ron Thal; rhythm & lead The border of who plays what has moved since old RnR days... Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: St_Jimmyuk on May 22, 2006, 03:49:15 PM i thought bumblefoot was just kind of lead/shred like bucket used to be?
Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: Chief on May 22, 2006, 03:53:40 PM He does play some of the leads that buckethead did, but he also does rhythm on a lot of songs...

Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: mr_gonella on May 22, 2006, 04:47:22 PM In the last concerts, its seems to me that Robins is taking your space more than others, Something like SLASH.. sure not exactally. He bettered so much last concerts, the old songs look like how the old times. Getting more personality...
What do u think? Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: russtcb on May 22, 2006, 05:49:22 PM He does play some of the leads that buckethead did, but he also does rhythm on a lot of songs... i thought bumblefoot was just kind of lead/shred like bucket used to be? WHAT?! You mean some shredders can play rhythm parts?! I thought (according to Bucketheads example) that they all just did a robot dance when they weren't shredding.

Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: iamskeletor on May 22, 2006, 06:16:28 PM Here's how I see it:
Robin Finck - Lead Guitar Richard Fortus - Rhythm Guitar Bumblefoot - Stunt Guitar Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on May 22, 2006, 06:35:43 PM Stunt Guitar? :hihi: :rofl:
It is nice to see that each gets a chance to shine since all can play lead very well. Bumblefoot is more the stage attraction ( or will be groomed to be) on lead, but Finck at this point has that role ( slaying audiences with his playing, stage diving, etc) Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: Axl8302 on May 22, 2006, 09:59:06 PM In the last concerts, its seems to me that Robins is taking your space more than others, Something like SLASH.. sure not exactally.

They're not as clinical as in 02. Sounding good, when i listened to my michelle from hammerstein i was amazed at how much energy was in the song, it sounded great!! on all my boots of 02 i find the performance of that song pretty boring. Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: iamskeletor on May 22, 2006, 10:04:19 PM Frank Zappa used to intro Steve Vai as his stunt guitarist. Good role for BBF.
Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: HoldenCaulfield on May 22, 2006, 10:05:51 PM Well, Bumblefoot definitely played A LOT more rythm than Bucket ever did. He played in every song. He was all over the place. He even played accoustic on 'The Blues', which Bucket didn't add a thing to that song...
Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: Crashdiet on May 22, 2006, 10:36:26 PM I kept track of the solo assignment on sunday night... and it was basically the same every night. Not counting non-song solo's... and considering there is multiple solo in songs (i.e sweet child has 3), and not counting song riffs (i.e Sweet child INtro) as solos the breakdown was as follows
Robin 23 Ron 13 Richard 9 So i'd say robin is the lead guitar player Title: Re: Guitarists Post by: BluesGNR on May 22, 2006, 10:39:41 PM I kept track of the solo assignment on sunday night... and it was basically the same every night.

Give him time. He's a cool motherfucker. I had a chance to meet him after a show - he's got a personality that'll rock the GNR boat if he's utilized. |
