Thanks Ron!

Is BBF trying to tell us something?  He tells how much he hates lobster, then calls ChiDem damn good fucking lobster?

Nice interview, especially these...

Any news about the negotiations regarding the release?

Azoff and Gould are the guys to fill you in on all that stuff. If I do their job, then they're gonna have to play Don't Cry next tour instead of me. Who knows, that might be an improvement, haha. Better lobster.

How was to record Shackler's Revenge? You did the solo (with your fretless), some rhythm in the pre-chorus and the last shredding in the ending, right?

If I remember right (barely remember anything more than 5 minutes ago, haha) it was one of the first songs we worked on. I played all the solos - the fretless solo followed by the fretted solo, the end tapping stuff and the bends over it - also the rhythms throughout the song with all the riffing in them.

What do you think about the song?

I like the energy and groove, the vocals really grab ya, I don't think it's what people expect, like tasting somethin' for the first time... it takes a second to take in the info and sort it, then ya gotta taste it again, and ya start getting to know what you're tasting, trying to define it, and figure out if ya like it or not. That's how you know it's something unique, not your standard... chicken dinner.

Is the song the first single? Will it be available to legal downloading?

We'll have to see what management feels is the best route to go with all of that....

I believe it's called an analogy.

You might not like lobster, but it doesn't mean lobster is a bad meal... It's just not your kind of meal. You prefer tuna from a can.

 :hihi:

Doesnt sound like Robin or Richard has much of a part in that version of Shackler's.

At least a member has finally commented on it though :)

Nothing wrong with tuna.

;)

cool read and cor,
the interviewer pumped many variable bits of info out of Ron.
who did the interview?


Ron was speaking in Portuguese? :P

The interview was made by our Perfect Crime's Manager, VoodooChild.

It was made to be used in Rock Brigade magazine.

The original thread is here: http://www.perfectcrimegnr.com/smf/index.php?topic=5838.0

That's WHY the interview was "translated" to english, because it was made for Brazil.

By the way, thanks to VoodooChild!

And Happy Birthday too!  :beer:

Thanks guys!

Yeah, he was super nice, as always! Thanks for posting, jarmo.

Interesting that the track was leaked under the name "Chicken Dinner"...  Is there an explanation that I'm not aware of?  Or is that just a crazy coincedence?

Not coincidence by chance

Robin wrote the song (not alone, of course), but Richard probably didn't play.

BUCKETHEAD
He plays the intro riff, the filtered guitar following Axl's vocals in the verses (left channel) and the whammy pedal guitar effects in the chorus

BUMBLEFOOT
The guitar following Axl's vocals (right channel) in the verses, the rhythm throughout the song and the riffs in it, the solo, the tapping stuff in the end and the bends over it (the bluesy lick).

:peace:

Nice read no boring questions,  Kudos for that Voodoo. : ok:

Either Ron knew the leak was named chicken dinner... or they leaked under the title chicken dinner

i am starting to like BBFs sense of humor :rofl:

Nice interview,
but I didnt understand this:

Yes I did see the writing credits, but as far as I understood he doesnt play on this version?

I think he doesn't play on this version since Buckethead and Bumblefoot apparently played everything...

Thanks, Voodoo, nice interview!, great stuff!

Thanks jaz! :)

The interview took place after shacklers was released officially. I don't know how you can assume they leaked the song.

In response to being asked what he thinks about seeing people on message boards giving their opinions on aspects of his life from his musical prowess to his fashion sense, what Ron's saying, as I see it, is that people are entitled to their opinions but that he won't be changing just because someone may not agree with or approve of his actions or dress sense etc.  Hence his comment:

"So my outlook on it is simple - nobody should change for the person that doesn't like them.....Be who you are."

And may I add that I think it's excellent advice, no matter what age you are.   ;)


Thanks for posting the interview, Jarmo, and thanks as well to VoodooChild for the great questions.  The more interviews I read from Ron, the more I love his sense of humour; it's as dry as the best martini.

"How is your relationship with the other guys?"

"Nobody's killed each other yet, so I guess all is good."

Classic!   ;D

For all the "hey Ron checkie checkie! is this solo you? "mails he got everyday, it must be a coincidence. crazy. :hihi:

n talkin about coincidence,

great minds think alike.  8)  I like shellfish tho.

True that taste is natural and personal. No one should force theirs on you.
Still It was sorta shocking  to  learn  there are actually some  'real' Beatles  manias that've maintained that the latter Beatles aren't real Beatles.
I also hear Bob Dylan was denounced as a traitor by his diehard fans when he took on rock.

cd/sgtpepper surpasses  AFD /The Beatles I dont care what others say.

GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist BUMBLEFOOT Comments On 'Shackler's Revenge' Track - Sep. 28, 2008

The October issue of Brazil's Rock Brigade magazine features an interview with GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. An excerpt from the chat follows below.

Rock Brigade: How was to record "Shackler's Revenge" [the new GUNS N' ROSES song which is featured on the Rock Band 2 soundtrack]? You did the solo (with your fretless), some rhythm in the pre-chorus and the last shredding in the ending, right?

Thal: If I remember right (barely remember anything more than five minutes ago, haha) it was one of the first songs we worked on. I played all the solos ? the fretless solo followed by the fretted solo, the end tapping stuff and the bends over it ? also the rhythms throughout the song with all the riffing in them.

Rock Brigade: What do you think about the song?

Thal: I like the energy and groove. The vocals really grab ya. I don't think it's what people expect, like tasting somethin' for the first time... it takes a second to take in the info and sort it, then ya gotta taste it again, and ya start getting to know what you're tasting, trying to define it, and figure out if ya like it or not. That's how you know it's something unique, not your standard... chicken dinner.

According to RollingStone.com, the GUNS N' ROSES "Chinese Democracy" album track "If The World" ? a version of which leaked earlier this year ? will appear in the upcoming Leonard Dicaprio/Russell Crowe movie "Body of Lies", in theaters October 10. The track features the guitar work of GN'R guitarist Robin Finck, as well as Buckethead, who left the band in 2004. The song plays during the closing credits of the movie, but it won't appear on the soundtrack album.

According to Billboard.com, Best Buy will be the exclusive retailer for "Chinese Democracy", which is tentatively due on November 25.

lobster?

Hear shit like this all too often from the band members as if they are preparing themselves for their music not to be liked.

Look here Ron, I don't know who you are listening to and what you're reading but we're going to the mat on this one.  We've heard all the leaks and we know the words.  Watch us.  Read our lips.    Believe in that.  Believe that we were singing along.  You saw that with your own eyes.  

Whatever you guys are serving up we're hungry and we want seconds, thirds and dessert.  And we want to do it all over again tomorrow.  Now get your ass off that mat and cook us up something.

Chillax, cineater, Ron didn't mean anything (bad) by his comments.  He's just playing off of when Axl said that the "sound" of this album is so different from what people think the GNR sound is that some people will love it and some people might not.
I'm positive Ron thinks CD is above and beyond great. :headbanger:

This was just his attempt at being crypticly funny ... sorta an "inside" joke that's so inside that Ron is the only one who gets the joke.  :hihi:

lobster and shellfish which everyone but him loves  ;) were brought up when he was asked   

"What do you think about some online boards? People seem to get mixed reactions about everything the band does, including from your fashion style to your leads. "

not particularly about their music.

each to their own.
