Title: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Demon Wolf on October 24, 2006, 05:22:47 PM Seriously, that man masters EVERYTHING. From lightning-fast shredding to bluesy solos and an amazing rendition of Don't Cry. Getting him to the band was the best thing that has happened since...well, I don't know really.
But I feel as if the current line-up now more than ever is a band, that appears and interacts like a full band (instead of the feeling of every man on his own) Besides, Ron Thal is probably the nicest musician in modern history. So cheers to him, you make GNR even better^^ Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot.

Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Demon Wolf on October 24, 2006, 05:25:39 PM Oh yes, I was going to bring that up as well... While being a good player, Buckethead doesn't seem to be designed (yes, for all I know he could be a robot :D) for a band... Ron really completes GNR, and you can feel that he is one with the music.
EDIT: Oh, I see. Didn't know where to put it. Can a mod move it? Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on October 24, 2006, 05:29:15 PM dont worry, a mod will move it if he feels like it.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: bDinan on October 24, 2006, 05:29:59 PM Ron is my second favorite GnR member to Pitman... Axl is a distant third.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Demon Wolf on October 24, 2006, 05:38:37 PM Hehe. Fortus and Finck are awesome as well. I just recently got into GNR, and while the old lineup kicks unbelieavable amount of ass... I still prefer the new kids on the block. Axl sings like a god nowadays as well ^^
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: daubs on October 24, 2006, 06:58:54 PM i agree, ron is awesome because he seems like a nice guy. he is the only guy in the band i dont want to see leave/be fired. i could care less about everybody else.

i wish him the best! cant wait to see him writing songs with axl Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: lennonisgod on October 24, 2006, 08:11:52 PM Ron is one cool mo fo. I hope he remains in the band until the they call it quits. This year has been one of the best years for GN'R ever IMO, and he's been a big part of that. I hope this whole band stays together for that matter.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Mattattack on October 24, 2006, 08:16:12 PM Why does this guy who has nothing to do with "Chinese Democracy" get so much credit. I would like to thank the guys on the album who helped Axl write all these great songs. After listening to some of Ron's solo material I highly doubt he will ever write a song for Guns. Ron, I would like to thank you for being an adequate replacement for Buckethead, and for being nice enough to respond to my fellow forum members e-mails.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: the dirt on October 24, 2006, 08:16:50 PM Is he gonna be breaking out a newly designed foot guitar?
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Mattattack on October 24, 2006, 08:18:31 PM If he breaks out a new foot guitar tonight I hope Axl fires his ass.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: the dirt on October 24, 2006, 08:19:44 PM If he breaks out a new foot guitar tonight I hope Axl fires his ass. Remember he was asking fans for suggestions? :-X Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: fishyguy on October 24, 2006, 08:21:57 PM Three cheers for Ron!!
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Mattattack on October 24, 2006, 08:22:58 PM I don't care if Ron plays the foot guitar with his own band but I don't think he should be embarrassing GnR by playing it.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: tsoky2003 on October 24, 2006, 08:33:29 PM Bumble rules,much better fit then buckethead.Just a cool rock star :peace:
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Mattattack on October 24, 2006, 08:36:35 PM Bumble isn't much of a Rock Star. He doesn't drink, do drugs, or sleep around on his wife.
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Slipdisc on October 24, 2006, 08:59:10 PM Buckethead's solo material isn't exactly representative for GNR as well, yet he was able to add something special to gnr. Both are great virtuosos who can be huge assets to every guitar-driven band, their extreme diversity is a testimony for that. I don't see Ron having any troubles writing within the context of GNR. Players' solo-material shouldn't be the only reference here, it would say a whole lot about the two RF's. Neither should GNR's past sound be. After all, Axl always stated that he wanted to take GNR into a new musical direction.
I wish Ron all the luck in GNR and a great time touring with Axl and the rest. I for one, highly appreciate his participation in this band. -PEACE- Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: jarmo on October 24, 2006, 09:28:18 PM Ron's a funny guy.
It's nice to have him in the band. /jarmo Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Mandy. on October 24, 2006, 09:31:56 PM One thing about Ron (as someone already mentioned) is that he was part of a huge change. This, combined with the fact that he's such an incredible guitarist, makes him quite big in GNR's history.
Bumble isn't much of a Rock Star. He doesn't drink, do drugs, or sleep around on his wife.? And who does it in GNR these days? Apart from Axl and maybe Dizzy? ::) Geezuz, get a clue, mate. Why does this guy who has nothing to do with "Chinese Democracy" get so much credit. Hmm... Let me think here....... Maybe because he actually deserves it? PS.: The new guitar only comes out in 2007....... Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: CheapJon on May 15, 2010, 10:12:39 AM how is it this thread has been dead for 3.5 years?!
Ron's a fucking legend! kickass guitarist, singer & lyricist, awesomeness personified ;D also Normal is one of the absolute best albums of 2005 Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: One.In.A.Million on May 15, 2010, 06:26:19 PM Ron has proved himself to be an amazing addition to the GN'R lineup. From being the new guy 4 years ago, to becoming an essential part of the band, while also adding to Chinese Democracy brilliantly.
I can't stress enough how far Ron has come since 2006, it's like a real life version of one of his songs ' Rockstar For A Day '. In 2006/2007, I considered Robin as the lead player. But in 2009/2010 Ron has stepped up and has become the main guitarist in the band. From replacing Buckethead in 2006, to becoming the lead guitar player and becoming the face of the band. Ron has charmed his way into our hearts, and it sometimes seems too good to be true, how nice he is. :D Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: Voodoochild on May 15, 2010, 07:10:31 PM Hes truly a gifted musician and an incredible person. I can't thank him more for all he had done and I do hope we'll have more of his solos and guitar work in the next album. :)
Title: Re: In this topic, I'd like to express my appreciation for Bumblefoot. Post by: ianna on May 17, 2010, 01:44:44 PM Ron is one of my favorite member of the band. Glad to have him on board.
