125 5th Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217
Cost: $8

With Shakerleg and 24-7 Spyz... Age 18 & over...

Should be a cool show

If I was in the US... I'd be sure to make it to the gig!

Im there I live in Brooklyn!.its only 10 mins away and I saw Tommy play there when he was doin his tour for his solo  album

cool would love to see him.. one of his his albums normal i think it's called.. are real good : ok:

So is his material straight up instrumental or does he sing as well?  I'm thinking about going as I live close, but I'm not sure if I be interested in hearing a hour and a half long guitar solo.

He sings  ;D

Would be nice to go and say what's up..

it'll probably be sold out, now that he's in G'n'R  :D  i'd go if i lived in that area.

shakerleg.. is the street drummer.. that openened for GNR in hammerstein

anyone going to this?

I hope if people go, they don't harasss him with Chinese Democracy questions.

Like the guy is not on the album and does not know when its coming out.

So like sure ask him oh how was the tour or what not?

But CD questions are sooooooo annoying.

thats cool, shakerleg rocks too

should be a great show : ok:

i'll probably go. it's 15 minutes from my apartment.

if i were going i wouldnt harrass him just tell him how i liked the shows and what not for a few minutes...

awesome! would love to see him play his material live, shit kicks ass! talking bout bumblefoot live... is there any bootlegs of his solo career? would love to hear that. have fun people...

haha, thanks alot man : ok:

Hey that video was awesome!

Do you have any more?

He has song clips on his myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/bumblefoot 
It's pretty good stuff

That sucks - super close to my apt, and I would love to go support him, but I already have 2 other commitments that night lol.  Hopefully all the NY people on here will be there to show some Brooklyn love!   : ok:

Ill be there for sure:) :beer:

If it wasn't a Thursday I would def be there but not sure if I can make it but am gonna try like hell!!!

cool, he is very friendly as a solo artist. he even lets you play with him onstage :)

You are right! Why would any GnR fan dream of asking the FREAKING GUITARIST what is going on with the band. No offense to Bumble, but I am sure this gig will be 90% Guns fans. Those fans have the right to ask about CD, upcoming shows and anything else Gn'R related, if they want to. Just as Bumble has the right to give his "I don't know" answers as well.

Are you kidding me!!

Its going to 90% Bumblefoot fans.

What you that no one came to his shows before GNR.

Its a small show, his friends and fans will come to see him.

Well the gig's tonight.

So whoever's going hopefully you'll have a good time

would be great to read a review and get some pics if possible  :peace:

i might go. im not into gnr's side projects, but this guy is too new to hold to that standard. i might go see him. anyone else?

DUDE.....24-7 Spyz opening! Where my old skool NYHC at???

(okay 247s weren't NYHC like AFront, Cro-Mags or such. They were more like a poor man's hometown Bad Brains circa I Against I-still though, go early to support those guys!)  : ok:

I cant wait!!!

His solo stuff is pretty good

I'll be leaving in a few hours,

See u all there, you wont recognize me since i wont be dressed as axl

yeah saw you, and jennaside, to bad the show started on time.lol and I was only able to get there to catch the last 20 mins, but was cool hanging out shooting the shit, ron is awesome.

did anyone talk to ron? how was the show? detailssssssssssss

yeah talked to ron, heard some good stories, hes all over the US tour, signed my Normal CD, with YO, SEE YA SOON ON THE WEST  COAST!!!

well jazjme! tell us the stories! we want goodies!

Was a cool night, I got there late , as I was working till almost midnight, and forgetting this wasnt a GNR show, that people do go on earlier lol I only got to see the last 20 mins of the show. BUT gotta say wholly shit can the dude play , met up with a few peeps, IFINGLOVEVR, he got a  drumstick, and he told me earlier they did SCOM, woulda loved to have seen it personally. Jennaside was there, after the show was over, I hung out and talked to her and a guy who does filminm or has for hammerstein and those acoustic shows and the last wembly shows, cool dude, met rons wife she had a rockng shirt on, nice woman. And Met shakerleg, funny dude, nice guy, the few remaining were gon out to a diner , to eat, I hung out but decided Id be better off getting my ass home , instead . So I said goodbyes and left.

IF you want gossip and such , you wont get that kind of shit from me . BUT as far as GNR hes in there, gonna be doin the shows . And hes a kick ass guy and im fuckng really digging his music. Listening to the album normal now. KICK ASS!

 :peace: :beer:

Thanks Jaz, hope everything is going alright.....sounds like it is! :beer:

yeah madagas all is good! :peace: :beer:

Nice I wish I had been there!  But I am glad you had a good time! :yes:

thanks I did:)

Thanks jazjme cool to read your review and story  :)

Here's a link to a review with some pics and video clips of SCOM he played at last nights gig.


http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/viewtopic.php?p=391763#391763

Thanks for the clips to who ever uploaded them, also if you didn't click the link the guy said:

1. He doesn't know when Chinese Democracy is coming out.
2. He doesn't know the US Tour dates.
3. He doesn't know why Axl won't play "Rhiad" or "Estranged"

And Ron has a pretty good singing voice!

Here's My review,

During the opening bands Ron was inside just walking around hugging evrybody, he remebers almost all his fans by name. When his set started, the curtains opened up and there was Ron Taking a piece of gum, and giving out the rest of his gum to the audience, it was really funny,

All of the songs are amzing, really good stuff, I was really blown away. I strongly suggest all people who are waiting for democracy to get Bumblefoot's CD's, to pass the time.

He played parts of Run to the hills, & Number of the Beast for his friends in the audience from "Maiden NY" an Iron Maiden Trib band

SCOM was incredible, they did there own version of it, with ron pulling off both singing & guitar + duing both really fast, It was a really cool version of the song and Ron ripped the solo to Shredds. and ron was able to sing just as high as Axl.

He announced in the midle of the set (i dont have it word for word but here's the basic message)
"I Dont Know When CD is coming out, I dont know what the plans for the US tour are. I dont know why Axl won't play "Rhiad" or "Estranged. Please be patient and the GNR managment will release a statement with all the information, as it is there responsiblity to inform you, not mine."
He was reading off a piece of paper he made it sound like Axl Wrote it for him, it was really funny.

Ron Kept saying after the show how Axl's the nicest guy in the world, although i also found out from other people there that Axl NEVER travels with his bandmates or even stays at the same hotel. I spoke the the guy who was filming he said there are no plans for filming a music video, also Axl is still in London.

Thats all for now, so basiclly dont count on CD coming out any time soon, get Bumblefoot's music to pass the time

Bumblefoot > Buckethead !!!

Ron has an unbelievably good voice, not many people really appreciate how good it is and how talented he is. He could probably sing the vocals and play lead to every GnR song in the set and it'd sound better than what we get from Axl and Finck.

I wouldnt worry to much about Ron saying he doesnt know about CD or the tour, because bottom line thats probably the truth, but I dont think that doesnt mean its not close to being released.

Bumblefoot is the coolest rockstar ever. Not only did he have a show last night, he still took the time after the show to answer my email.  How many rock stars would do that????

wow great review IFINGLOVEVR!

..now if BF could play the drums  :hihi:

Aw, You should've come out to dinner with us. You could've shared a cab with "Shakerleg"  and me.  It was a nice place... Ron bought me an omlette.
Oh well, next time.  :)

Axl still in london? So much for finishing the album.

For all you know the album could be completely finished by now, none of know what is really happening behind the scenes with GnR (although we like to think we do)

Actually I dont think I know anything. The album wasnt finished when he was on Trunk cause he said it wasn't and then they kicked into a tour. So based on that I do not think the album is done.

The links on CD.com are expired... if anyone downloaded those two, itd be cool if you guys could re-upload them, if anyones got the time...

i wanted to go... to bad i live by chicago and not nyc i sent him a myspace message about it to see how it went
ill post it when he respondes

To the poster and taper of the video's.... THANK YOU!! that made my day...

watch SCOM here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmPqRsgGdco

are there any other vids besides the youtube SCOM? the quality isn't so great. and the links on CD.com expired  :(

Heres a video of him doing a bit of "Run to the hills" by Iron Maiden.

He does a cool job on vocals too emulating Bruce Dickinson

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=DFCEC4B607E8912D

The Run to The Hills one is a total killer.
It's not like anyone can go there and sing a song originally sung by Dickinson decently. Ron did rock the hell out of it.  :yes:



PS.: By the way, yesterday was Mack's first gig, right?

haha am I the only one who thinks he sounds terrible??  I admit I appreciate the solo, but jesus the rest of it is horrendous. 

Have you ever heard the audio recording from a few years ago where Bumblefoot did SCOM?

He basically did it as a joke - which is what he's doing here pretty much.

Here's the soundboard audio of Bumblefoot doing "Sweet Child O' Mine" live from a few years ago (vocals):

http://www.sendspace.com/file/011s95

Note: It's not supposed to be serious. I think it's hilarious.? :)

Thanks dude... I didnt know BBF did SCOM a few years ago, either did I know there was any soundboards of BBF live....



HAHAHA OMG.. wow im listening to it now.. this is the funniest shit ever. PRICELESS! wonder if axl's heard this :hihi:

Here's where the MP3 came from, in Ron's own words:

http://www.petrucciforum.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-69-p-3.html


So it's not a soundboard recording - it's a studio outtake.

ROFL!

I've heard some funny things in my life, but that is just... is there a word to describe it? Hilarious isn't enough.

You da man, Dunkin, thanks!  :beer:


"Listen to the fucking Jew play"? :rofl:

yeah that's pretty funny  :hihi:

i remember the first time hearing this... :hihi:

funny shit

lol! that was funny as shit!

FUCK ME /!!!!!!!!!!!!

i m in NEW YORK i didnt knew THAT

aAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i wannnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee  :crying: :crying: :crying:

Calm down... Bumblefoot is always playing in NY. You'll get many other chances to see them live.

Ron's the greatest... glad to hear you've had a great time!!

-PEACE-

Thanks for all the reviews guys, it seemed like a great night!!!

hahahaha OMG that SCOM from years ago is hilarious!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

it sounds like when I sing that with my brother and we try to change the melody lol.. and he even reads the notes like "chorus 3" lmao!! :hihi:

ron's SCOM solo is way better than the way finck plays it.
i like bumblefoots beard to, it's a little figure of a man with legs and all funny!

Haha - actually he does, but reckons he "sucks at it" - there was a CD he did for a production company called Carlin which he did all the drums for a few years ago. At the time he said he pulled it off with some editing in the tracks.

 :hihi: yea i noticed it at the newcastle gig 19/7 and was thinking "ron never disapoints us"  :hihi:

Don't take SCOM so seriously, it was played as a joke, and he referred to it as "his own crackhead rendition" therefore, I really don't think it was meant to be note for note, or spot on. For what it was, it was good. It was certainly surprising to hear him play it, and he totally made that solo his bitch.

The videos on YouTube are mine, I do have more of "Real" "Rockstar for a Day" "What I Knew" and a few more of his solo songs. The show was a blast, Ron is a guy who just seems to love performing for people. He was hanging out before the show talking to everyone and supporting the opening acts, 24-7 Spyz and Shakerleg. The videos aren't the greatest quality, but they were filmed with a digital camera with limited video capabilities... It was an afterthought to film video, I brought my cam to get some images.

^ hope you can post some good pictures  :yes:

Here are the best images I have... I was at the bar most of the night, so didn't have the best vantage point, but I do think I got a few good shots.

nice pics!  : ok:

I'm uploading some of his solo material right now  :peace:

http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=bjd2933

Check there in a few hours, there should be more clips. They take a while to get up there

You got those songs live? Gosh, do I love you!!

Thanks!!!  :beer:

Sections of them, in a perfect world I could have recorded the whole show, but my cam only records minute long clips at most, so I kept most of the clips 30-50 seconds long

Many thanks for the videos!!

OMG he sing really good. PLEASE let Ron do the background vocals instead of stinson.

Glad ya'll liked the show :) I certainly had a blast!

To answer one of the questions I saw - it was Mack's 4th show.

Hey, does anyone have downloadable (hi res..?) versions of all these vids? I'd love to save them as souvenirs :)

Cheers!

Dennis (Bumblefoot's drummer)

Thanks for joining the site. Great to have you here.  : ok:

Thanks for joining! ?:)
im sure lots of the guys will post some downloads for you ?:beer:

Hi Dennis,

great to have you here. Hope you'll enjoy some time with lunatic GNR fans.

Btw.

1. Do YOU know when Chinese Democracy is coming out?
2. Do YOU know know the US Tour dates?
3. Do YOU know why Axl won't play "Rhiad" or "Estranged"?

 :hihi: :smoking: :hihi:

of course he isnt going to know that....no-one does  :hihi:

www.askchris.com? : ok:



Nice to see you here. Welcome, D.? :)

that link doesn't work

Geezuz, please tell me you know I was joking...  ::)

if you guys give authority to tape , i can have a show or three taped

you thought i was serious?  :rofl:

Chris Pitman?  :hihi: ...

Don't blame me... You know how naive GNR fans are.

People always take my jokes seriously around here.




That's the one.? :D

http://www.wyrdology.com/scrying/crystal-ball-use.html  ;)

Hey Dennis,

I can give you Jason-the-video-guy's number and you can ask him for a copy of the tape if you'd like.

Let me know.

 - Jenna

I would have brought a camcorder if it was allowed... I'm used to axl not even allowing cameras, so I kind of snuck my digital cam in... video was an afterthought, I just remembered last minute that I had a video mode.  : ok:

WELCOME Dennis!!!!!!!!!!!!  :beer:

Sure, but I'm not allowed to tell? :hihi:

Hey Jenna, that would ROCK! Thank you so much...
I was actually talking about those snippets that are on Youtube. I'm wondering if anyone has the original videos...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :)

d.

I'll tell Vic to make you gold drum sticks, how about then?  :hihi:

I wondered about those vids too. You guys (bf's band) should open on the tour, replacing Eagles of....

Seriously. You think Ron would do it?  :)

I've already asked him.  :hihi: He said it'd tire him out to much. I don't blame him.  ;D

Now THAT would make me go to a GNR concert in Brazil. :hihi:

Impossible. We usually crawl off stage bleeding, with our tongues on the floor. No way Ron could do another show right after a Bfoot performance? ?:smoking:? We might scare the crowd a bit too much, too.........

Joe and I are butt-ugly.


d.

I have to say, after being at the show , hanging out, great great time!

Cool beans. And btw; don't worry about it. I look kind of like THIS guy, but with more hair and better teeth  ;D
