Here Today... Gone To Hell!

bumblefoot: Putting together a European Bumble solo tour for Jan/Feb 2014. First show confirmed is in #Pisa #Italy Jan 17. More info as it develops :)






/jarmo

Start the rumors Jarmo....lol.

Hopefully a show for the UK.  8)

I sure hope that he does not sing. He was just horrible, and mean unlistenable, when he did his one song on recent GNR tours. That was terrible.

bumblefoot: Next show confirmed for #BumbleTour2014...   Jan 31st at the BLUE NOTE in Nove Mesto nad Vahom #Slovakia  More to come.....!

I do think Ron's solo shows are awesome, I always watch clips on YouTube from before he joined GN'R, and him and his group were fantastic. I think alot of hardcore Bumble fans across Europe are going to soak these shows up, he had quite the following even before 2006. And yeah, UK would be mighty fine.

finland waits to be bumblefuc*ed!

bumblefoot: Looking into the possibility of doing solo shows in South America end of the year - will keep you posted  :)





/jarmo

Can I get an AMEN?

I do hope he comes to Brazil (Rio, specially)! His solo stuff is awesome...I could never look at a cactus the same way after I heard his songs! :hihi:

or listen to war pigs ;D

Hopefully Norway will be on the schedule. Was planning to head down to Copenhagen with my girl in October, but not sure if there will be a concert? Fun enough with a guitarworkshop, but my babe want's to catch Dash in concert  :)

Darn and I thought for sure a new gnr album/tour would be scheduled for these exact dates :(

Jan/Feb is an unusual time of year for big bands to tour.

Bumblefoot
New show confirmed for 2014 BumbleTour...!! FEB 8th @ Kulturzentrum in Spielberg Austria

Sounded like GNR was headed for S AM this fall for a while there.  Now I can't help but wonder if Axl isn't having some medical attention paid to that reason he was using a cane.

lol....

I vote for The Day After as opening music for Ron. With him playing Abnormal, Glad To Be Here, Objectify, Green, Jenny B, Simple Days, stick a rare one in there like Shadow or Pretty Ugly... Then end the show with Dash, which is Ron's Paradise City.  :peace:

he should also play songs from 911 and uncool

I voted or Glad To Be Here.   : ok:

I'm pretty sure the cane is a fashion statement. But if GN'R are headed to South America in the Fall- would it not be possible for Bumble to do solo shows around these?? However Richard is out with Dead Dasies in the UK from Nov 22nd until Dec 15th (I presume) so dates are limited.

I wouldn't expect to see anything from Guns until at least march/april.

I'm just hoping we see the Vegas Blu Ray release before the end of the year to tie us over until then.

I think you can anticipate more Replacements dates too so it appears Gnr are off for awhile.

Yeah, I saw over at MSL's site that DJ is making plans too.  Golden opportunity to see all our guitar players on a different stage.  Who does Ron have in his band?

"Another 2014 BumbleTour show getting confirmed... SAT FEB 1, 2014 in Krakow, Poland ***Venue info coming soon*** "

Yes, I did kind of figure this would be the case as Guns have been touring pretty heavily for a while now. And it gives the other guys time to let their other projects flourish, which is cool and healthy for all concerned.

I will probably go see him at the Copenhagen Guitar Show in october.

I'm trying really hard to buy tickets online for the show in Split but the website just isn't responding.  :-\

Will definitely try to make it to the London date, sounds like a lot of fun!!!...  : ok:

bumblefoot: Entire Jan/Feb 2014 #BumbleTour needs to be rescheduled due to a scheduling conflict - new show dates to be announced soon.  :P






/jarmo

I cant imagine him doing this for any other reason other than Uncle Axl has requested his services

I'd bet on that as well.

Ali

i really hope we hear new songs on this leg or whatever you want to call it at this point, otherwise the moaning and groaning will reach all time new levels

assuming this was done for more gnr shows

  Based on past evidence the moaning and groaning will never stop regardless what happens,ever.

Yes, if only there was some way the band could get out in front of that.  But...none that I can I think of.

I assume this is a South American or some other warm weather leg of dates.  I'd love for it to be for studio time, but I'm not sure you need to block that off this far in advance. 

It's most likely another SA tour.  Fernando (I believe it was him) updated the GNR page that they were working on it a month or so ago.  Wish they'd focus on getting the next album out instead.  Oh well.  Better than nothing?  :-\

The very definition of the concept, really.

It's easy to get down on fans who aren't exactly psyched about the concept of GNR plotting yet another tour leg.  The fact, however, is that GNR has another album and a half worth of finished tracks from the Chi Dem era + whatever else DJ has cooked up.  Releasing even a single on itunes would show that things with the label are starting down the right track. 

Plotting and focusing on more touring eludes to the fact that patching things up with the label and putting out new music for the real fans is not exactly a priority for Axl & Team Brazil presently.  That's kind of troubling to fans who are passionate about hearing new Guns music.

Touring is a convenient excuse.  Its why there is always another leg.  Can't work on the album, we're touring!  Don't you want to come see us? 

Look how many people buy into that routine.

It's certainly starting to seem that way.  Every time it seems like we may be closer to getting new music, or at least seeing progress in that venue, bam, more dates are scheduled.  Or as Ron puts it "Life gets in the way."

Is anyone aware of any attempts being made to get the next album out? I know there was a rumor that the next album was turned in and rejected in 2010, but I never really bought that.

Nobody's buying into any routine besides people like you.

Your favorite band is coming to your town, you don't wanna see them? Then don't go.
You can sit at home and complain when they don't tour about not being able to see them. We've been there too.


Nobody knows what the so called priority is. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out most of the logic posted by those who oppose touring is, to put it nicely, flawed.

I've lost count on how many times I've read so called experts wishing the band didn't tour anymore so they'd go into a studio to record. Well, the band isn't touring at the moment. Which studio are they in?
People simplify the world to fit their picture and disregard the things we know because it's convenient.


So, let me ask you a hypothetical question: If there are issue(s) that prevent a new release to happen at this exact moment, would you rather have a band touring or not doing anything? It seems to me that some of you prefer the latter so you can sit and whine about it. Even though if the band does the first, you'd whine about that too.





/jarmo

I think the issue here is that most of us were hoping that Axl & TB were using the current time off to plot the next album's release, rather than yet another SA tour, something they're already done twice since 2010.  Considering the next album is largely done, every time GNR takes an extended break, many fans hold their breath hoping that when the next announcement comes it will be in regard to the next album.  So when an announcement does eventually come, and it is about more touring, it lets some of the wind out of the sails of those who are anxious to hear new music.

So, in answer to your question, I'd definitely rather have GNR tour than do nothing at all.  It's just that, personally, I want the next album way more than more touring.

I don't know how to explain it in a simpler way.

Imagine you plan to go out for a run tomorrow if it's sunny. You wake up the next day and it's pouring down. You could go out and run in the pouring rain, or you could make alternative plans for that day and hope it doesn't rain the following day.

Has this ever happened to you? It's happened to me, more than once in my life so far.  :hihi:


Now, take this and imagine it being a band. A band hoping to do something, and then have the opportunity to do something else while they wait for the first thing to happen.

Does it really seem that far fetched? Not for me. Maybe because I live in a country where it might rain a lot in the summer months. :hihi:




/jarmo

Lol.  No, I definitely hear you and your point is valid.  I'm just explaining why I'm not completely psyched about the prospect of more touring.  Don't get me wrong, if tomorrow they announced a Chicago date I'd be all over it and buy tickets immediately, as I did in '02, '06, '11 &'12.  I'm just rabidly awaiting The General, Atlas, Soul Monster, etc...

Everybody wants an album, no point in arguing about that.

The question is, if you can't have that now, what are you gonna do?


Iron Maiden and Metallica are playing at Rock In Rio. Iron Maiden's latest studio album came out in 2010. Now they're touring in support of a concert film released in 1988.
Metallica isn't exactly out touring to promote the album they did with Lou Reed.

Metallica has had all kinds of reasons to tour. Remember "Big Four"? Or those shows when they played the Black album in full. And so on.


Are their fans "upset"? I have no idea...

An active band is always better than an inactive band.  Though, of course, I'd love to hear a new album more than anything.

Ali

Kind of surprised that something has arose to require Ron to reschedule his whole tour. Must be a pain for him after all that preparation, still glad to see that it doesn't seem to have caused any problems on his end. You've got to feel it's something to do with GN'R but we'll see, fair play to Bumble though.  :peace:

So...Is it possible that the next GNR album could coincide with the next round of touring, or is that just completely outside the realm of possibilities at this point?

Perfectly stated.

Bands put out albums all the time, it sucks being cursed with loving GNR because they fail to provide us with our fix..It's like giving a heroin addict a shot of heroin once a week

Got my ticket this morning. :)

I'm seeing Ron tomorrow at the Copenhagen Guitar Show. I've won a meet and greet with him also (I don't know how many other people have also won) I can post pictures and tell what Ron said here if anyone is interested.

I was in Split, Croatia for the Guitar Show he did Oct-15-2013. I was impressed, to say the least. Despite sleep deprivation, Ron took all the time in the world to jam with people, signing stuff and taking thousands of pictures with fans.

(http://shrani.si/f/6/6K/Sxq4NUx/bbf-split-03-copyright.jpg)

He even did a quick meet-n-greet the day before, which turned up into 3 hours acoustic show at one of Split's rock bars. I was there also  :hihi:

(http://shrani.si/f/2g/DN/4tgGRzKD/bbf-split-01-copyright.jpg)

We ended up taking the same flight from Split early in the morning on Wednesday and I sincerely hope he managed to catch some sleep on his connecting flight to London.

Overall: A+++ experience. Can't wait to witness something like that again  : ok:  : ok:  :beer:

Was such a good night,i am playing on the knockin on heavens door video but you only see me now and again lol

So...are we allowed to talk about the new videos of Bumble playing us some new song ideas?  They sound pretty interesting.

I think so, as they were posted on official GN'R's FB and on Paradise City.

We filmed those and posted them on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uANlJMsfdU ("Argentinian Tango", the most complete idea)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLkZljcvd4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IVnyWuQiiA

We also filmed Ron's version of There Was A Time, it was pretty cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT16B1rqVXA (full instrumental)

I think they definitely sound interesting.

Hopefully, when presented to the Big Chief, he won't be told they are "still focusing on 'Chinese'."
