Title: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: fishyguy on June 28, 2006, 10:03:05 AM Man there are so many retarded losers out there its ridiculous. I say Ron should stop answering e-mails and just put up blogs so he dosent have to answer the same thing a million times.
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=4885179&blogID=134396690&MyToken=7487051d-923e-4705-bec1-aea47baf2a8f Hey all! As ya know, I read and answer every email personally, and always enjoy corresponding with each of ya. Been answering hundreds of emails a day, spending 6 hours a day - that's fine, happy to do it. But all the typing is causing numbness and pain in my hands and is starting to affect my ability to play guitar. I've had this problem in the past as some of ya might know, and I need to back off a bit on typing before the damage gets worse. So please, unless it's really important, or doesn't require a long response on my end, please be gentle with the emails and myspace messages :P *Some folks have been sending 10 emails a day, and there's only so many times I can say "That's a question for GnR management, I can't answer that..." - lol. It is not my place to make announcements about Guns N' Roses' business - their management will fill you in on things at their discretion. *If we haven't spoken since age 10, please don't ask if I can get your cousin's friend's wife's co-worker's neighbor's son free tickets and backstage passes for all his friends to next week's show. There are security issues, plus you're asking me to strain my relationship with everyone in the group by being responsible for people I don't even know and have them hang where other members need their privacy and space to prepare for the show. The requests have reached nearly 1000 in two months time... :P *I am *NOT* MySpace tech support - I don't know why your media player still isn't working properly, even though I walked you through the process three times. *I'd prefer not to give Axl your personal messages - it's a bit awkward... Thanks so much for your understanding :) bbf Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: DuffRoze on June 28, 2006, 06:20:38 PM bbf should really hire chris pittman to do all his replying...
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Mandy. on June 28, 2006, 06:34:18 PM Seriously... What the FUCK? Do people really ask him why their media player isn't working?? :nervous: That is just way too much.
You give 'em your finger and they want the whole hand. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: SLCPUNK on June 28, 2006, 06:38:58 PM bbf should really hire chris pittman to do all his replying... I'm sure he would if his computer was plugged in........ But you are right, he's got the time. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Gargh! on June 28, 2006, 06:39:30 PM A case of him being too nice to fans for his own good, I think.

I don't know why your media player still isn't working properly, even though I walked you through the process three times. haha ?:hihi: he is funny. but that mp staff.I mean wtf?how can people as him that shit....why? ?:-\ poor him. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: dizzy68 on June 28, 2006, 06:41:25 PM I talk to a few different celebrities. I have personally seen all the shit they get from fans. It almost makes you lose hope for the human race. He's to nice of a guy to even respond to these people. I personally would throw it all in the delete bin.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Tomorrows on June 28, 2006, 07:32:31 PM And I thought I was being a pest because I sent him three emails. One when he joined the band congratulating him, one after Download saying they rocked and another one asking for some pro advice for one of my students seeking a career in music.
Goddamn. Some people are just fuckers :no: Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: AxlsMainMan on June 28, 2006, 07:39:16 PM And I thought I was being a pest because I sent him three emails.

Some people are just fuckers? :no: Hey, you're contributing to the pain he's experiencing while playing guitar, so it's all the same.. :hihi: Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: mega_music on June 28, 2006, 07:41:35 PM Yeah I saw that posted on BF's site. He is such a laid back cool guy. I could only imagine how many stupid messages he gets in a day. Hell anyone who's on myspace knows your inbox and friend requests already get flooded with stupid, webcam wanna be girls.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Tomorrows on June 28, 2006, 07:47:15 PM For the sake of his own health the dude should probably stop looking in his myspace. :no:
Shit like that has to get to you over time. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: dizzy68 on June 28, 2006, 07:52:47 PM ?When you have easy access to a person it makes things to convenient. You'll sit down in front of your computer all day and send a new e-mail for every thought you have.
The cool thing about snail mail is that you tend to put all your important thoughts in one single letter and not abuse the privilege since you are paying for each stamp. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Tomorrows on June 28, 2006, 07:55:47 PM Thats very true. Its also amazing what people think constitutes a reasonable email. I swear, most people dont think about how they come off when they write stuff. I used to work technical support for an online casino where I read customer emails. Godamn, 99% of the messages were incoherent crap and made the people look retarded. And they were from people who genuinely wanted help - imagine what its like to read idiots just shooting random crap.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: F*ck Fear on June 28, 2006, 08:06:00 PM I messaged him once telling him that I look forward to seeing him and Guns tour North America. He's on a friend on myspace, but I haven't bothered the guy since. People just can't take a fucking hint. ::)
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: mikegiuliana on June 28, 2006, 08:08:59 PM people are annoying the living shit out of him, fucking shame you knew that would get fucked up quickly..
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Steel_Angel on June 28, 2006, 08:12:06 PM i never send the man emails, but he should really stop bitching and just NOT reply to the emails, know what im sayyyyiin?
but yea like.. OH? MAH? GAWD, bumblefoot is sooo nice! he once loaned me $1000 and gave me the keys to his car! he is too nice! Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Lucky on June 28, 2006, 08:13:15 PM hey!! ::)
My Media Player was really fucked up. I see no reason to get mad :no: Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: dizzy68 on June 28, 2006, 08:19:56 PM hey!! ::) My Media Player was really fucked up. I see no reason to get mad :no: ? ?It's not up to Bumblefoot to offer you tech support! What were you thinking? Next time contact Microsoft. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Tomorrows on June 28, 2006, 08:21:38 PM I think he was joking.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Falcon on June 28, 2006, 08:25:21 PM bbf should really hire chris pittman to do all his replying... I'm sure he would if his computer was plugged in........ But you are right, he's got the time. That's right up there with the funniest shit ever written on this board, well done. :rofl: On topic.. Gotta respect The Foot's wishes, he seems like a cool cat. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Mandy. on June 28, 2006, 08:25:55 PM It almost makes you lose hope for the human race. He's to nice of a guy to even respond to these people. I personally would throw it all in the delete bin. Wow! I totally get what you mean... I almost lost hope for the human race when I read "I am *NOT* MySpace tech support -? I don't know why your media player still isn't working properly, even though I walked you through the process three times." I'll repeat what I said: What the FUCK? Don't people have common sense? i never send the man emails, but he should really stop bitching and just NOT reply to the emails, know what im sayyyyiin? but yea like.. OH? MAH? GAWD, bumblefoot is sooo nice! he once loaned me $1000 and gave me the keys to his car! he is too nice! Why should he? I mean, not everyone sends him useless shit.

I didnt had the right codecs for some of his stuff.

Thats terrible :( Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Lucky on June 28, 2006, 08:40:12 PM yeah, it was.
it took me a while to find the codecs. :-X Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Taylor Hicks on June 28, 2006, 08:45:48 PM did u really think they would stop? haha... poor bbf... hes not being to nice, hes being too stupid. why would he even answer shit like that anyways.

If you can get the answer somewhere else than do it. I wouldn't care if I had the personal e-mail address to everyone in the band. I'm not stupid enough to take advantage of that situation by asking them to fix my Media Player! They have enough people bothering them as it is. You only contribute to the problem by asking stupid shit. Some people are so God Damn star struck that they will come up with any excuse in the world to start e-mailing these guys.? Any excuse just to be able to say that someone from the band actually talked to them.? Big Fucking Deal. Bumblefoot is three weeks away from not being able to move his fingers anymore because you couldn't figure out on your own that you needed new Codecs for your Media Player! I guess the Microsoft Help file wasn't good enough.
Jesus H. Christ I need a vacation from this place. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Lucky on June 28, 2006, 10:12:51 PM I figured it out on my own in the end. ::)
bumblefoot only replied me once, and he told me to reinstall media player, and that didnt help and it's not like I was the only one mailing him. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Tomorrows on June 28, 2006, 10:13:34 PM Why the fuck would you ask a guitarist for technical help when there are overweight, overpaid nerds whose job it is to do exactly that??? Youre a fucking moron. With people like you in the world no wonder he gets sick of answering "fan" mail.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: pebbles on June 28, 2006, 10:14:02 PM People do the same to me everyday, :hihi: hes just going to have to get tough and fuckin delete em. : ok:

So they can filter out all the garbage and only read the worthwhile stuff. Bumblefoot is way to nice! He needs to get someone to help him sort though his mail. It's crazy to be answering all this shit for 6 hours a day.
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Sukie on June 28, 2006, 10:33:23 PM Ok. So not everyone around here shows good judgment. We all still need to remember the board rules about insults, though. You all need to apologize. :P
Seriously, if anymore insults are thrown around in this thread to ANY member and you'll get negative karma. Whether you think they deserve the insult or not. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: GunnerOne 84 on June 28, 2006, 10:35:14 PM Would it still be ok to drop him a line, not asking for anything, just to say hi and show my support? Or should i just leave him be?
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Eternal Flaming Sword of Death... on June 28, 2006, 10:36:28 PM I think Bumblefoot deserves a medal for being as nice as he has been and puttin gup with so many LAZY, FUCKING MORONS who can't figure out how to use a computer, this includes whoever can't get their player to work, use the fucin' internet, that's what it is for..... :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: dizzy68 on June 28, 2006, 10:37:56 PM I'm sure the guy Loves to hear from his fans. But even Bumblefoot has to draw the line when people start asking all sorts of crazy things. Compliments are Cool. Everyone loves those!!! ? : ok:

I should have known :P You got me man. Sorry about the insults. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: Lucky on June 28, 2006, 11:47:18 PM no problem dude :)

Classic!!! :hihi: When you only have like 10 fans, giving out your e-mail address is a good idea.... But to give it out to the GNR community, not such a good idea. Title: Re: Apparently people haven't stopped bugging Bumblefoot on myspace Post by: dariano on June 29, 2006, 12:20:07 AM check out this pic of Bumble and one of his students...she looks pretty hot...and she can shred!

I was actually gonna write a "Hey sorry for bothering you" letter but I thought that would defeat the purpose kinda. I sincerely hope he stays on as the lead player though and I hope his kind spirit doesn't get beaten down by some rude/disrespectful fans.
