Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: LIGuns on December 09, 2007, 08:47:50 PM Glad he's in the band..Great talent and great stage presence..
It was resreshing to hear that he played over some of B-Heads stuff and made it sound "dirtier" so it sounded more like GN'R.. Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on December 09, 2007, 10:05:57 PM I don't know the man personally, but god damn do I respect him. :yes:
Thanks for posting the link to the bio. :beer: Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Genesis on December 09, 2007, 11:38:28 PM Thanks! :beer:

I was never a big fan of BH and I'm hoping he's completely removed from CD when it's finished. Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Jaci_Roxx on December 10, 2007, 09:04:38 AM Thanks!

Oh my f*cking god, that part about medication... I've been on 8 or 9 different meds and that's exactly what they do: make you feel "normal" (blank?) and take away what you REALLY are. We also seem to share the same kind of childhood experiences. I guess I just found out the reason why I felt like I needed to read his bio even though I wasn't interested at all at first! ?:o Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Scabbie on December 10, 2007, 09:23:37 AM Working on the next BBF album, shooting some video of the process.

Pity if so. :( Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: jazjme on December 10, 2007, 10:03:07 AM I don't think thats what that means at all.

I can still remember the feeling of the heat on my face from the flames shooting up on the sides of the stage. A life-long goal was to play there, with the lights, the flames, the bombs, the volume. In November '06, we played there - with the lights, the flames, the bombs, the volume. Hey Axl - thank you bro love that part Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Dark Angel on December 16, 2007, 02:01:59 PM New vid:

Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: CheapJon on December 23, 2007, 01:17:50 PM yeah his "bio" was really cool, i read it yesterday
Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Bruno Poeys on December 23, 2007, 05:00:29 PM This brings up all sorts of questions, Gn'R questions: Yes. All the recording is done since february (or january?).For BF to focus on his own work, does that mean he has nothing more to do on CD. Apart from play live with Gn'R has he had input into the album? maybe he hasn't. Yes. He even recorded rhythm parts with an old les paul, to give the new songs the old rock vibe.If BF is focusing on his on project, do we assume Gn'R have no plans to tour for a while? We don't know, but like Mysteron said, there isn't anything scheduled right now. :)Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Dark Angel on December 30, 2007, 05:23:47 PM Vid. 4:

In November '06, we played there - with the lights, the flames, the bombs, the volume. Hey Axl - thank you bro love that part .....then remembering Axl's detestation of public acknowledgments by band members, Bumblefoot exclaimed: DON'T TASE ME, BRO!!!! :crying: guess it could've been worse. he could've called him "dude" ... but I think Baz has the corner on that market. :hihi: In Bumblefoot's bio he said this: http://www.bumblefoot.com/bio/bio.htm 5 Bits Of Random Personal Information Off the Top Of My Head I love spicy food - working on recipes for my own line of hot sauces. Been upping my tolerance - currently at 2,000,000 Scoville Units (same as commercial-grade pepper spray) If anyone asks me about Scoville Units, I'll bore them for a half-hour talking about capsaicin molecules, habaneros and heat measurements. One time in Japan, I stayed up 43 hours straight doing gigs, interviews, instructional videos and going to clubs. I take oral hygiene and fire safety seriously. (end quote) But in his tourblog ... http://www.bumblefoot.com/tour/tourblog/bumblefoot-tourblog-2006.htm ...he didn't seem to know what a fire alarm looked/sounded like. So my question is: Does he really take fire safety seriously and was only joking in his tourblog? OR is he joking in his bio and seriously needs a breathmint!!! :nervous: Both the bio and the tourblog were entertaining reads. : ok: Title: Bumblefoot in the studio vids.

"released" a few min ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zm0emhd6lo ENJOY!!!!! ;D Ron on bass.... Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio vids. Post by: mrbucketfoot on January 11, 2008, 12:55:36 AM Awesome. Who were they held captive by?
I vote that next GNR tour Bumble plays Bass, Tommy plays drums, and Frank plays lead guitar. Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: liesin on January 16, 2008, 02:52:08 AM Bumble played that bass good as hell.....
Funny little videos, can't wait to se the guitarwork. Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: DCReed on February 12, 2008, 05:32:48 AM Update from Ron:
Quote from: Bumblefoot Progress report: 4 solos left to play, one being Guitars Still Suck, saving that for last. 6 acoustic guitar tracks to lay, then cellos on a few songs, and a buncha backing vocals... Then sort dozens of vocal takes for 14 of the songs (to get a natural spontaneous legit feel, I spent the month of January going into the studio every day, singing the entire album straight through without stopping, then leaving - haven't listened to any of it yet...) Also did all the bass and rhythm guitars last month. Then reamp all the bass and guitar tracks through better amps and mics... got some nice ribbon mics, trying some Splawn amps along with the Line6 Vetta2 and Spider3...) Then start mixing, artwork, mastering - those 3 little things that each destroy my mind while doing them... then manufacturing and promotion... fucking endless process, really feelin' it... but it's getting there, very happy with everything so far. Focused on guitar noodling right now, will edit some vids once it feels ok to take my eyes off the album for a minute.

Hands and Uncool are probably my favorites, but Normal is quite nice too. That on top of his place in GnR is something GnR purists like myself get excited about :peace:
Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: DCReed on March 18, 2008, 02:38:05 AM Quote from: Bumblefoot Album update 3/18 Power supply died on the studio computer, using a laptop and a USB interface, works fine. Two more songs to sing. Said I wouldn't obsess like an anal fuck, but it needs to be this way. Digging deep, destroying myself to become something better than I am. Re-doing some clean tracks. The amp was very punchy, I can hear the sound bouncing off the opposite wall of the room, it's pissing me off. Gonna foam up the room and re-cut some cleans. In the next two weeks I'd like to have the cellos and backing vocals done, and start mixing. May leave some songs off the album, some seem a little un-relatable, harder to connect to. Will see after mixin'. When this album's done, I'm gonna party like a dirty asshole. http://bumblefoot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3488 Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: Dark Angel on March 21, 2008, 07:00:58 AM Quote from: Bumblefoot Vocals are done. I think. Might hear a line or two in time that I wanna re-hit, but at this point, lead vocals are pretty much done. Kept things natural and spontaneous, no auto-tuner or anything like that, most of the tracks aren't doubled, kept it raw. Went with the scratch vocal tracks for some of the stuff - sometimes the first time you sing it you nail it, even though you had no intention of keeping it. Gonna run the bass tracks through a different bass amp on Saturday and have the Swashbuckle guys lay some backing vocals. Then I'll start mixing. Still gotta get the cellos and backing vocals recorded over the next two weeks - that won't hold up the mixing process. 19 songs recorded, of which 5 may not make it on. I'd rather have the strongest stuff on there, and save the rest for a "B-sides" release. Gonna re-amp those clean guitar tracks tomorrow... http://www.bumblefoot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3495 Im so damn excited :) Cannot wait! Title: Re: Bumblefoot in the studio Post by: JDA on March 21, 2008, 10:42:36 AM I love that Bumble is in the band. He is such a postive influence with a great out look on everything. I like that he is a bid supporter of being loyal to a band. One reason I get so upset that CD is still not out is because of the band members like him who are so excited about this band. Bumble you are a great addition to the band. Hopefully, the whole world can see how great you are soon.
