Here Today... Gone To Hell!

the title track is out!

https://www.yahoo.com/music/get-a-first-listen-to-bumblefoots-little-brother-109402234316.html


Fun track.

Not as goofy as previous Bumble solo stuff.


Again feel free to move this to the ex-gunners section. :confused:

Sounds like poor mans green day

Title seems like a bit of a 'fuck you' to GNR fans.  Hey, why break up the theme?  : ok:

What the hell is everyones problem. Ron is the most fan friendly member there is. And certainly the biggest talent! His guitar playing and backing vocals live are phenomenonal.

It's just shows how little it matters to you supposed fans who's actually in this band.

That's your opinion.  I think he's a fake who wants attention.  I didn't buy his "oh my back is so messed up" routine during tour one bit.  IF it was really that bad, he didn't have to tour.  But he sure made everyone aware of how he was feeling and making it seem like he was doing such a noble thing by trying to play....and then grimacing every other minute on stage.   I also think there are times where he should just keep his mouth shut.  Axl gave him a great opportunity to flat out make money.  Ron knew what he was getting into.  Then, all he did was bitch and complain, and even now, still complaining, but yet using the GNR name to promote himself.

I think he loved the attention he got from being in GNR, but didn't and isn't respecting the person who gave him that opportunity.  Kinda like some other guitarist who used to be in the band.     

You think that was all a work?

Very Good

 : ok:

Not bad.  I like it.

It's tough....as I understand nobody can truly judge somebody else's pain, but yes, I thought he was milking it. 

I bet he milked it.

I also didnt care for his line about how when he started the boys in gnr were a bunch of bullies, until one day he had to get physical.  Ya right hahha

I don't recall him ever bitching about Axl. In fact quite the opposite.

Im tired of listening to his nonsense as well and will not be supporting this release, in purchasing nor listening.

I'm at a loss. Since 2006 the guy has been the most accommodating member to the fans. He's been to every single meet and greet as far as I can tell, he's hung out with fans, organised jams & meet and greets. His passion on stage and attention to detail of place eg soloing the song of a particular place. "Oh Flower of Scotland" in Glasgow was incredible.

-He came over to Europe not long after CD was released and signed copies etc (Free of charge) - He has been instrumental in getting songs brought into the setlist ie Don't Cry, Estranged & Yesterdays.

It seems your crucifying him for telling the truth at points. Yes he appears to be to be emotionally spontaneous but I fail to see that being a bad thing.

But since your happy with GN'R seemingly being a revolving door of players I guess it's fine.  ???

I'd like to ask you how it's thanks to him that all three songs were performed live?
Don't Cry I can see why. The others are a stretch to say the least.




/jarmo

His liner notes on his album should be interesting.   

He should be thanking Axl and the gnr universe for the opportunity to release an album and play as many solo gigs he has been doing   

Let's face it, who really heard of Ron before

Agreed. But other than him bringing those songs back in to the set ( I don't know how he knows or thinks  that)... Everything else Reajy said is very fair.

I know a lot of people that are more rock-scene savy than I am, and I can tell you that to a man they had no fucking clue who "Bumblefoot" was prior to him joining GNR.

Oh for sure... I certainly never heard of him...so of course his career owes GNR forever.. but the guy is getting completely shit on now... and I have yet to really see what he has done that is so evil.

I think it's probably best for both parties to go their separate ways at this point... but he is no enemy of mine if he is indeed a "former member".

Personally I was angers at the guy for taking the spot of my. Fav me member. Then even more a grey that he over dubbed some of his parts.  Then when I saw him live I really didn't like him when he came out with that little bee guitar and looked like a fool. Then I REALLy didn't like him when his quotes came out about how tough it was to tour with the band and they were bullies.   lost all respect for him there

I will give it to the guy though.  He nails the classic solos.   He is a great guitar player   

Sometimes everyone else isn't the problem.  It's you

He even said that about himself that he is a very difficult person

Don't Cry obviously was brought in as a solo when he had the balls to go out in front of a pretty negative crowd at download when they took time out for technical issues and grew from there. On the "That Metal Show" special he talks about the fact he was getting a lot of requests to do estranged. Yesterdays he played a few times in jams..one online i think. The Duff night I was in vegas he was trying to coax Axl into doing it. Happened the following week. My feeling is he listens to fan requests and does his best to implement them.

I pretty sure fans told him they'd like to here an album made by the current line up.

Anyway my point is I see very little need for this childish reaction to what nobody actually knows anything about.

The guy has always gone out of his way to be kind and curtious when I've met him.

Jarmo for all your rules on this site (which I agree with) it's a shame to see you allowing this. Especially as I thought you'd been close to the guy in the past.

What are these childish reactions?  I am just stating my opinion on Ron, it was the same with him being a member or not

Ron has brought a lot of this on himself with his childish attitude     Talk about a drama queen

A bit of tension in a band is not unnormal. Look at Aerosmith. I respect the guy for not being just a puppet.And I don't see how he's in any way doing wrong by using the "GN'R" name to promote himself. He has more than earned his pips.

You is "angers at the guy for taking the spot of my. Fav me member"...I think he was given the spot due to your favorite member quitting! No doubt because of similar frustrations as Bumblefoot has expressed. A lot of people are  "angers" at all members for replacing people- They are what we call Haters I think.

As for looking like a fool! A KFC bucket anyone.....

You're assuming the band decided to rehearse Estranged because it was his idea. We don't really know that.
They almost did Yesterdays in South America when Duff was there. The it was later done at the end of the Vegas residency.




Allow what?

People react differently to different situations. Some feel let down by his actions. Same thing happened when Robin went on tour with NIN.



It's not really about being a puppet. That's just nonsense.
People can have disagreements. That's normal. It's how those are handled that rub some fans the wrong way.




/jarmo

I'm assuming he may have pushed for it. But to be honest I don't care either way.
Nobody I met in Vegas (who were regular's down the frontrow) post on fan sites....It's situations like this that make me see why.

Outside of Axl, I really couldn?t care less who is, or isn?t in this band, but I did appreciate the fact that Ron spoke his mind.
Was reassuring to know that someone in GN'R wasn?t content touring endlessly, collecting paychecks. He wanted to get together and write as a band.
Maybe everyone in GN?R feels that way, but he came out and said it. A bit odd to me that fans find fault with him being motivated to be creative and produce new music.
Something this band continuously fails to do in unprecedented fashion.

GN?R fans of all people should see the irony in mocking his new band. Granted the circumstances surrounding Art of Anarchy aren?t ideal, but providing their debut record sees release, they will have produced the same amount of records as GN?R has managed over the past 22 years.

Anyways, not losing too much sleep over it.
Axl did award him and amazing opportunity in recruiting him in Guns.
I wasn?t enthralled with his work on Chinese, though he was entertaining live.
Cautiously optimistic to see what he, and primarily Scott came up with on the Art of Anarchy record.

And why's that?

You know how "normal" people don't take kindly to supposed rich and famous people complaining? Same situation here.



/jarmo

I second that!

Jarmo...A rich rockstar throwing his toys out the pram in GN'R! Yes I see that but I'm not sure it's Bumble.

I'm guessing you know he's out as I doubt you'd be as vocal if you thought you'd be touring with him again.

Not only allowing it, doing it himself.


Yeah, exactly. 

I don't know what's going on. All I know is what he's said. I'm assuming that he's not gonna let his solo career suffer if GN'R has something planned. That's what he said.


No, I meant the comments he's made about how "horrible" it's been in GN'R. Some people can't relate to it. Going from pretty unknown guitar player to playing in front of thousands of people every night and getting to bring your talents to a larger audience. Some would call that a privilege and an honor. So they don't see why he chose to bring so much attention to the negatives.
I can understand where those kind of feelings come from. Fans idolized him and then feel like he let them down.

I see both sides of the argument.



Your personal vendetta is duly noted.



/jarmo

As far as I know the members of Aerosmith are all equal parts.  With an equal say in the band.  If not the whole. At least jos and steven

The big difference here is that with Guns.  Axl is the boss

Ron has no buisness having any attititude.   He is a paid player.  Not a member.  If you dont like it leave.  Like others have.  There would be no buisness to break up like in the mid 90s that were a partnership.  Like Aerosmith

No personal vendetta.  If he's gone, wish him luck.

Uhm, I'm not sure if that is how Axl wants it to be viewed. Jarmo is your feeling that all band members are just "paid players" like it or lump it??

This kinda supports the argument that the band is simply a Axl solo act...which has never been my view. I love the current line up and my response to this whole thing is simply one of disappointment.

I would say some members have more influence on the direction of guns than others do 

I don't know if members have certain "voting" writes or not, but I doubt it

It's Axls band.  It's gnr.  The guys in it have more pull with Axl than others do

Obviously Ron didn't have much pull

So your saying Axl has a solo project with hired musicians and is trying to con the world that it is in fact a band that exsisted until 1993??

Because if all except Axl are hired hands with zero say on anything how can it be anything else??

I am exited that im going to see Bumblefoot play live in Pattaya in a couple weeks.

And i like his previous solo albums. Ill always remember Ron handing me his abnormal cd in 2010 in Helsinki.

I don't think I even came close to saying that.

If you want to say that go ahead

Guns n roses is Axl Rose and what ever band members he chooses to surround himself at any given time

Good luck, all the best!  : ok:

Still doesn't mean I can't comment on the current former singer issues in his new super group to be confusing or ironic.



/jarmo

I think that he should call that album "Paranormal"

I don't find fault in him being motivated.  I find fault in his attention craving attitude and not respecting someone who gave him an opportunity to enhance his career. 

I know this isn't going to be a popular sentiment, but I've viewed this band as Axl's solo project since the UYI lineup broke up. GNR was a sum of individuals. In my mind, it's just best to view it that way.  I'll always support Axl and be glad to hear of new guitarists like Bumblefoot along with DJ. However, GNR ceased to exists around 97 when Duff finally left. 

The band concept of GN'R is a bit like Nine Inch Nails. The difference: The band members around Axl are "real" band members, Trent has just a live-band. Both both, Axl and Trent, are the key members in GN'R/NIN

The chickens truly come home to roost on this place, when actual gnr members break ranks.

It's nothing like nine inch nails. Trent is a multi insrtumentalist and does practically the whole album himself.

I just listened to Bumble's Little Brother single. That's not an album I will buy.  :no:

This is the best way to look at things.  Both Axl and Trent are true producers, creating a sound for there individual bands, but bnth use different tools.

Well, I'm not that big of a fan of DJ either.  I've exlressed that once before on here.  I hate how he is always about the camera and tryng to act cool or "rock n roll" by flipping the camera off every chance he gets.  However, it does seem as though DJ is greatful for the opportunity he was given...unlike others. 

GNR is benefitting from DJ in the band
DJ is benefitting from being in GNR

Its a good deal for both   Than neither side holds against the other

Um, no. It's nothing like NIN.
Maybe - maybe - Smashing Pumpkins.
When Billy Corgan realized no one wanted to buy a "Billy Corgan" solo album he "reformed" Smashing Pumpkins.

Did i miss this smashing pumpkins "reformation"?

As far as I know billy got back together with the drummer but never darcy (bassist) or james (guitar).  Mb james. But def never darcy as she is pretty messed up

Corgan was on record as saying the only way to get a true pumpkins sound was to use there original drummee, cant remember his name

Anyways

Why would you say the comparisson to NIN was way off??? 

I am sure if Axl could play every part himself he would.  But he chooses to bring guys in and as a producer uses bits and pieces of what they have recorded

Trent plays most of the stuff you hear a d has it all writtin.   Then uses bits and pieces of stuff he has written and as a producer puts it all together

Both band have had both steady touring members and rotating spots

Sounds pretty similar to me

Guns N'roses is nothing like NIN Fact!...be told. NIN are an industrial band to start with.  Trent is the main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist and the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. Reznor assembles a live band to perform with him.

Axl has never been the main producer and instrumentalist. On a lot of favorite GN'R songs he's not even the main songwriter.
Guns N' Roses is a hard rock band with a full & official cast of players! Axl himself has repeatedly said it's not a solo venture so why are you sure "if Axl could play every part himself he would."

Jarmo i'm intrigued do you see GN'R as Axl's solo band with "paid players"? Or a band??

Good song.

It's a band featuring Axl Rose as the singer and leader.
He gets other band members involved and they work together to create songs. In that regard he's like a producer. Not just a song writer or lyricist.




/jarmo

Oh your another one of these fact guys.......  Fact!

Where did anyone say that NIN and guns n roses sound the same?

CURRENT GNR is very similiar to NIN in the way songs are put together.    

Are you saying Axl isn't a producer?   I suggest you look at the writting credits on CD were you can clearly see that he was    I would also when it comes to tinkering with older songs that have been previously recorded, but not released.  His role as a producer will be even more noticeable.  

How do you think current gnr writes and produces there songs?   Current gnr not a line up from almost 30 years ago?

Again I am talking about this band GNR   Not gnr from almost 30 years ago.  The song writting process was different them, but not that much different

You said Axl dosnt write all the lyrics?   Well currently he does.  CD he wrote the lyrics for every song.   I would think any future release would be the same. 

You also said Axl isn't the main instamentionalist    Even though he dosent play any instruments on the album he uses his ear to put pieces of music that musicians have written together to form songs.   Where in NIN Trent will play the parts himself.   Axl will get others to play hundreds of hours of various things and then combine this and that to form a song.  I.e in the form of a producer

I would say Axl not only brings in band members to help.  But has a good track record for inviting anyone into the studio that he thinks could help the music. 

The big question I have is.  Do you think any band member has any say as to what they are playing in the studio.  Or out of there work makes it to an album

I would say the musicians have free reign in the studio, with suggestions and feed back from Axl as to what he wants to hear
I would also say that not one band member has any say as to what material makes it to the final released.   

Fact

I said 'main producer'. I did not say he has not or is not skilled in producing. I love Chinese. But we know certain songs had a lot to do with the players around him. Better was a Robin song I believe??

When I said that GN'R were a rock band with a full and official line up I was talking about NOW not 30 years ago. Check the silhouettes on the top of this page you will see the people I'm talking about.

I agree that Axl is of course the leader and it is his band but the process and heart of what Guns N'Roses is...and this is something Axl talks about..Is that it is a band! It is therefore world's apart from NIN.

Also Im pretty sure one had to play the instrument to be an instrumentalist.

I don't usually get involved in these silly spats but I just completely disagree with your point of view as to what Guns stands for and is.

And with that I'm out!

Again you are loosing me here. 

This is not a discussion of what I think guns n roses stands for. 

I was agreeing with a poster how gnr and NIN are very similisr in the way the compose music

You disagreed

Then I posted more points to make up my side of this discusion

Then you asked Jarmo for his thoughts, which I got a kick out of

Then I asked you how you actually thought current guns n roses writes and composes songa, to which you never responded

Then you said you were out.   Hahaha.  Ok then

Again it's not a argument, just a discussion.   

I feel Trent Resnor and Axl Rose compose write and produce songs for there respective bands in a very similisr way.  It's not a bad thing. 

If you feel they are different. That's fine. 

But in no way does this have to do with what I think guns n roses stands for

It is fun watching threads evolve, here we are discussing NIN Vs GNR, in how they may or may not be similar. And the focus or title of said thread is about Rons new song.

Personally I have no ill will towards the guy. From the get go when he joined the band I liked him . I think hes a tremendous  player. Met him first time after one of the Hammerstein

shows and early on went out to see him at numerous shows in NYC, solo and with other GNR members, when he played with Duff and his band Loaded at a handful of shows, and

countless now GNR shows. I am a fan of his music and I do like the new track so me I will have no problem buying it, and look forward to it.

Now I do think it sucks big time if it turns out that he has left the GNR family. In no encounters I have had with him and other members did I  find any negative vibe going on ,

quite the contrary, it was always much camaraderie.

IF hes gone and I'm not convinced of it being a sure set in stone thing, I  see no reason to now turn into rabid dogs on the guy.

But I'm not blind either to the bits  of complaining he has done somewhat publicly,  I chalk that up to him being who he is, pretty upfront and honest, but loyal , and he has been for sure.

He didn't let anyone down in the band and was committed fully at every moment when it came to tours and shows and the fans. So what happens next, I am in the wheelhouse of thinking , it won't affect any plans of when and how the next album will be released.

When its time to books touring we will know who is playing live when it happens. Perhaps when we get to the next leg he will have had ample time and freedom promoting and touring his solo effort. IF not I am comfortable with Richard and DJ taking over. And I believe they would have no problems doing so either.

As far as this thread, I like the tune. And will buy the album.

 

NIN has always been pretty much solely Trent and then he'd get a couple of dudes to tour with him, whereas GNR was/is a band. That's how I see it anyway.

Haha I am done with this topic, as it is ruining the thread topic, like the above poster said

Let's focus on Ron's solo album!

Question for the album though. 

Does Ron take care of the lead vocals himself?

Yes, I think he does mostly everything himself apart from drums. In away more akin to NIN.

Yes all his previous albums are 100% bumble apart from drums. I think that this album will be the same.

Im wondering when i see him live in two weeks will he be alone, or does he bring a band.

Where you seeing him? I'm going to the London gig. I hope he's doing his own stuff. Would like to hear "little brother" live.

Pattaya Thailand. hes playing 3 gigs here.

Nice. Enjoy!

Thanks.

I bet London will be fun aswell

Hey,

Might be totally out of place asking this, but when did B-Foot say it was a horrible experience playing in GNR?

He never said that publicly... I don't think...people don't like that he has "aired dirty laundry" to the public....

He stated publically that dealing with and getting answers from TB was difficult... which of course... people don't like

and he expressed frustrations with GNR not creating music as a band... which amazingly offends people as well....

he also came off as complaining when he made it seem like GNR forced him to perform while he was going thru some rough times with his health

those are his three biggest offenses as far as I can tell .... then of course there are "insiders" who claim he speaks negatively about Axl and all the others involved... but that's all hearsay.. not that they are lying, but somebody with some kid of agenda can feed somebody that information

I would have liked to have seem him stay on board... I don't like that GNR's revolving door is just accepted... but obviously nothing you can do about it..


Hoping for some good news regarding GNR to come soon.

Then there was that weird story about how the others didn't seem to care for him, and hazed the shit out of him.

The weird part of the story being that it was implied it was still going on, years later.

I hope he sticks around but seriously hope the best for the guy even if he does decide to leave.
Possibly the most well rounded guitarist the band has had and then some!

His album is gonna be fun..I'm sure there will be haters because of these err?situations (i don't want to say rumours) and we'll just have to wait and see about Guns. At least we know most guys in the band have albums out!!

Hookers, Dead Daisies, SixxAM and Bumblefoot..lotsa must to enjoy :)

He's been good to the fans, no doubt about it.

Until Ron had to get physical.  Ya right

He certainly has with fun photos of him in front row of an audience pretending to enjoy "the concert" which he was about to do with gnr.

I like the new song, they've done the video now so just wait for it to come onto youtube so I can listen to it without using up all my internet usage.

He's got lots of touring dates through England (lucky sods) so I guess there's nothing from gnr for a while or they'll play with a fill in.

With his humour, his friendliness, his charity work as well as touring & recording when has he got time for gnr? I don't want him to leave, he's the only reason I wanted the backstage passes & got them - I like the others but if Ron's left & Axl doesn't go to the backstage parties there's hardly any reason to want to go now.

Oh sorry Jarmo, there's you of course. If you attend that is, didn't see you there but you walked past over & over during the concert with a big smile on your face.  :yes: Or maybe it was wind???  :rofl:

http://rokbiz.com/blog/featured/ron-bumblefoot-thal/

Really interesting interview.

Nobody is asking the million dollar question!

Seems like he is asking us

''Ultimately the rest of the world will decide what I should do next, I?m listening to them.  Will see how each step goes  :)''

AjajAJjaA, Ironic

 :hihi:

Again

I am sure the majority of the rest of the world.  Doesn't even know who Ron is   98.6 percent of people asked don't know who he is.   Just read that some place

You just read somewhere that 98.6% of the human race don't know who Ron is..what article was this? Did someone actually speak to everyone alive at this present time- that is quite the researcher!

Ron has his Fans. A lot of which are GN'R fans you gimp. Stop trolling the guy!

Lighten up dude.     I have done plenty of nasty things in my life but I don't think I have ever trolled a guy before haha

Oh that was a good arrival I read though.   I will look for it it again so mb I can show you.  It was quite the read

Gimp????? Can we please NOT use a derogatory slang that is towards people with disabilities? Jarmo, this kinda stuff pi$$es me off. I hate PC, but I also hate this mindset.

Don't watch pulp fiction you'll be mortally offended.

Apologies to all. I just get a bit upset when I come to read/chat about my favorite band and people are doing nothing but bitch about them. Whether it be Ron, DJ or whoever.

It's a waste of time and energy.

I shall return to my box in my leather all in one until called for by Zed....

Please do and return when you can show that all these people do is bitch about your favorite band    Should be a while

So i saw Bumblefoot play three gigs in Thailand,  i met him multiple times, i saw him soundcheck, i hung with him and his wife a couple times, he and his wife  even came to see me play at a bar!!

And to much my surprise i was asked play drums with the band for the encore of last gig!! the manager and bumblefoot asked me that during the encore, to come on stage behind the drums! the song was Sweet child of mine. I hope somebody caught a video of that. i was a stage hand for the last gig so i was already on the side of the stage.


All around great guy, really fun to spend time with him and his posse.

He played a new song called I dont know who to pray anymore. the song is amazing! it has some there was a time type solo stuff at the end. you should really check out that song when the album comes out.


He played a 1,5hour set. which included classic songs like, Honky Tonk Woman, Gimme all your lovin, Tush, two new songs, Little brother is watching, I dont know who to pray anymore. and Knocking on heavens door, Used to love her and Sweet child.

Did you bring up his current status in GNR??

I said to him at one point that i hope when guns are touring again that he would be there. He lifted his arms in the air and said that let see how things works out.


the vibe i got was that they might really be in a negotiating point.  atleast, the way he responded wasent a negative ''i doubt it'' kind o thing. it was more like a, lets see what happens in the future. ill decide then.

He's always gone above and beyond to chat to me when I've seen him which is why I hate seeing all this negativity aimed his way. I look forward to seeing him in London soon.

Here's me playing Sweet Child on drums with Bumblefoot a week ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNEz8QvugLA


Notice the drums fills stolen straight from Josh Freese from the 1999 big daddy version :hihi:

How many of them did he have prior to 5/12/2006 though?

I'd say enough and the right ones to get the ear of Axl and management at the time. He was doing shows around here for quite some time, but I live in Brooklyn so I had known that.

That's cool!

I don't know who you play with regularly or anything, but that must have been kinda cool. :)



/jarmo

It was really great, made my year!
 as a massive GNR fan since im 5 years old, jamming with a recent member of GN'R means more to me, than jamming with any other musician could mean. dreams can come true.

First time for me playing with someone as talented as him and famous as well. Also my first time playing with a big festival stage set-up in front of a crowd like that, estimate was 2000-3000 people.

Ill start a topic in the nice boys section, with links to my bands soon, if someone is interested.(even if not)

So anyone listened to the new record yet?? How is it??

I got it last night, listened thru a few times, there are some very cool tunes there, great soloing. Standouts I immediately clicked with .. Higher, Living the Life, Clots, title track, Don't Know who to Pray to Anymore.

Just had first listen and I'm very impressed. Argentina, Higher and clots stood out on first spin. The production is superb and whoever the drummer is nails it.

Guitar work is god like! Gotta say as GN'R members (past & present) solo stuff goes this one is looking like it's up there with the best.

Looking forward to really getting into the album.

the drummer is Dennis Leeflang. he played drums for Normal and Abnormal too.


I will wait until the cd pops in my mail before listening to it.

that's a great LP, awesome guitar work

Anyone know if the album will come on Spotify? Can't see it there yet.

I checked yesterday and there's only older LPS for the moment

Very Good, Thanks BBFT

 :smoking:

Cool video from the pre-party show, from a club in Pattaya. It was organised by the Hells Angels and the crowd was 95% Bike club members.

This is where i snuck in backstage to meet Ron.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1613968105492104

it introduces him as a current member of GNR (that + the use of Jungle...)

So Bumblefoot had his gig at The Underworld Camden with GUNS 2 ROSES last night. For the most part it was a great night. Bit of drama when some dickhead threw a plastic glass at Ron. Ron was F**king furious and was going to be in the crowd fighting. There was a moment where members of the band had to restrain him...But it all added to the night. More 'dangerous' than any real GN'R shows of late.

He performed 'Glad to be here', 'Little Brother', 'Don't know who to pray to anymore' & took bass duty on a whole load of GN'R songs including 'Catcher in the Rye'.

Really cool, weird to see him without his double neck.
Dont know who to pray to anymore is such a great song!

I may be grasping at straws, but Jarmo has left this thread in the GnR section...I am holding out hope that bbf is not a 'former' member.

Available on Spotify now.. gonna take a listen.

The album sounds great. Really one of his best.

The Album sounds really great! different from his older albums.

i havent truly got my head around the album yet. Seems like one of those that gets better after every listen. Which is a good sign. But even now i get songs from the album stuck in my head every now and then.


Songs like Clots, Dont know who to pray anymore, Women rule the world, Sleepwalking and Eternity sticks out for me.

I recommend to give a listen.

Excelent,,, BBFT = GNR

I think its a good video. fits the song well.

Its a nice document for me because this was filmed i think more or less one week before i met Ron and Jennifer. Ron has even the same jacked on that he had in thailand. ::)

Haha, pretty quirky. Not sure if it's intentionally tongue in cheek. For me the images the song conjured were a bit darker- more like the album cover.

But fun. 

His current status with GNR, meanwhile, is purposely vague and something he's contractually "not [able] to elaborate on." But Bumblefoot adds that, "I think there's enough clues out there for you to figure out what I'm up to now. I'm a real busy guy and really enjoying everything I'm doing, and I think that everything I'm doing has a future and a bigger plan -- the solo stuff, the other bands, the producing, the charity and educational things I'm doing. These are all the things I love that I've really missed, and I'm very happy to be putting my time back into that. It's really what I should be doing."

This seems pretty final. Disappointing!

All the power to him...

Ron is not able to elaborate on his status, yet he proceeds to do just that.

Ali

I like the vid.

I don't get all this "I just haven't been able to juggle the time where I could have the momentum and just devote nine months of my life to solely focusing on an album being a priority"

Every other member of the band has managed to juggle both solo/other band work & GN'R quite nicely.

Richard with Lizzy, Daises & Compulsions and DJ is in another prolific rock act runs a clothing line and Ashba media for example.

I agree. It's hard for me to get as well. Combine that with some of the passive-aggressive comments he's made, such as the dealing with difficult bandmates, I can't help but think that there is something more than what he's saying.

Ali

Ali, enough of the "passive-aggressive"  description of Ron. Don't you think it was blatantly "open and obvious"?  :hihi:

He's done....and I don't think he is the only one that won't be back whenever the mothership leaves the port.

I think Ali's description was very apt and accurate.

Ron should be grateful for the opportunity he was afforded instead of throwing all the supposedly humorous backhanded statements, says a lot about character, or lack of.

So it should of..there are some quality tracks on there. When listening to Richards work with Dead Dasies & Bumblefoot's on this album and Art of Anarchy's I can't help but ask why are we not hearing the fruits of their labor with Axl??
