Axl blaming Buckethead........

[spiderman]

To answer your question oh Bucketface........... I play Guitar and Bass and can do back-up vocals.

and me.... but can axl?

[spiderman]

by the way usurper.... ...im sorry man, i didnt mean to have a go... i was just trying to point out that axls a vocalist (foremost) not a guitarist thats all.......

I play guitar & bass as well.  When I saw GNR it looked like Axl was putting all his concentration into his singing. You have to be a pretty fuckin' good guitarist to sing and play intricate shit (examples older Metallica and Megadeth).  And I don't see Axl being on the same page EVER!!! (guitar-playing wise) as someone like Dave Mustaine or James Hetfield. at the same time those guys will never be able to sing like Axl. A singer of Axl's caliber sings, and that's it! IMO. Hire someone else to play the licks.

Guns will be moving forward and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further.

Same shit, different guitarist. Kurt Loder spoke with Axl in '99, a bit after Robin left to tour with NIN.

"Robin's departure was abrupt, sudden, you know, not expected [...]  but at the same time, it's turned out to be a good thing. We've been able to push some of the guitar parts a step farther, that had he been here, it's not something that would have been considered, and I wouldn't have been rude enough to attempt to do that."

Ok, apart from the opening to Dead Horse, Ive never seen Axl play guitar, is he really that good in the first place?  And second, theres three guitarists, couldnt Axl just play the simpliest of the three if worst came to worst?  Fortus could do lead, Finck on rhythm, Axl doing whatever he needs the third guitarist for.

its not Gunners with Axl playing guitar, plain n' simple.
maybe if he does solo shows on acoustic but not Gunners, no fucking way

Axl only explained what the fuck was goin' on thats all, if Buckethead  used the GNR name to get where he wants then he's an arsehole
