Ron is the NICEST dude EVER!

I've sent him a couple of messages and he replied to all of them, being a total sweetheart.

Here's what he said in one of the messages (regarding the London gig at Hammersmith):

Will try to find a way to sneak off and hang with y'all :)

I'm really amazed, I still can't believe the guy, he's so cool!

He seems like a really nice guy and be very grateful that he can play in a band like GnR. Was he a GnR fan before?

He is a real fan's member of the band. I thew him an email the other day and got a reply back, just a friendly few lines to say thanks for the welcome, see me in london, etc. (also he might be thinking of dropping the bbf moniker) Axl is a reclusive genious, and that works for him, I even think it's what's helped to keep the GnR myth alive, but new GnR could also do with folks like bbf reaching out to the fans too. (not to disrespect any of the other guys, I've met Tommy before and he was real friendly, and The others coald be as well for all i know.) GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD MATE!

Yeah, he said he was a big GNR fan before. I believe he mentioned that one of his first bands covered a few GNR songs.

Yah his latest band are covering a lot of G'n'R songs too.  :rofl:

HaHa listen to this hero worship bullshit. Get a life kids and go learn to play and form your own bands. Heroes are for ZEROS man! Don't you understand WHY Axl used to wear a t-shirt with 'kill your idols' written on it?...   :hihi:

whats his email address..

Google "bumblefoot myspace" and youll get his MySpace page - you can drop him a message from there. You have to sign up for MySpace but that only takes 30 seconds and its worth it.

He replies - Ive had two messages from him.

Yea I know - hes fucking great. I shot him a message after the show on the 17th finished and like 2 hours later I had a reply!  ;D I think things got hectic from there because the second reply took a couple of days but its awesome to get a personal message from him.

Rock on  :beer:

Bumblefoot seems to be a really nice guy and really fan friendly... hopefully he'll earn his stripes over this European tour. I haven't seen/heard enough of him to tell if he can fill Bh's or Slash's shoes.... but I mean is he being brought in to replace those guys.. or is Robin now the guy to replace those two and Bumblefoot to take Robin's old spot?

Either way, he's an awesome guy and I hope he does well with gnr. : ok:

I have this overwhelming fear that one day I'll meet him and say:

Can I have your autograph, Bumblefuck... Doh!

...but I mean it with love...

I asked him that.. he said they dont really HAVE titled like lead and rythym... they all do leads on different songs, so theyre all kinda "lead".

This is surreal. Just after the first show on the 12th, there were so many people that were giving Ron/BBF a hard time. I said give the guy a chance, but not many seemed too. You'd think GnR fans would know how to be patient by now.

i'm under the impression he does.  i've talked to him on myspace about some stuff before and after he's been in the band.  he's been gettin a lot of messages and friend requests as of late :P

I agree that he has become my favourite member of GNR, not only did i seriously underestimate his playing abilities, but he is so fucking awesome, so nice, so accepting and friendly to fans...what ended up being one short email i sent to him is at least one exchange every day, he always replies to everything i ask about guitars or rehearsing with GNR (he doesnt say much though understandably) and he's not bothered one bit by all the fan mail he has to go through.


Title: Re: Message From Bumblefoot!

yea at first hearing the reviews i wasnt sure.. but then after hearing the boots and his solo stuff.. hes awesome!

"Hey bud, thanks for making the effort to speak out to the fans. We appreciate it, and just to let you know the GN'R fan base it totally behind you. That's no small accomplishement with such an established fan base."

He replied:

Thanks so much :)

I think its great that he seems to have been accepted into the fold by most Guns N' Roses fans after a difficult first week.  Good on him for sticking with it!

Everyone seems to be creating threads like "Hey, I got a message from Bumblefoot".

We should have a sticky thread called "Post all your Bumblefoot's messages here".
