1) Richard can play the BH parts while sleeping and put 1 million times more emotion and vibe into it. bbf can also play those parts aswell. And I'm sure Robin can.
Yeah, I'm sure. Maybe that's why Richard used to play with popbands and not Les Claypool and other highly regarded musicians. No disrespect to Fortus, he's a great rock guitarists, one of my favorites in the new band, but when Buckethead does his most amazing tricks Fortus simply lack the skill to follow. He can do alot of BHs simpler parts, but when it comes to the pivotal points of let's say TWAT, no way. That's a one in a million thing.
2) Have you heard the record before saying BH is pivotal to the quality of CD? You haven't heard the record, not even a dawn single note, so speak for you. There have been many studio sessions since he left, many things may have changed, so turn the page, he deseapeared from GN'R on December 5 2002. There was a life before him and there is a life after him. Move on.
I don't need to hear the whole record to know how important he is. What stands out in the new songs are two things, Axls touch and Bucketheads touch. The rest of the band brings alot of cool stuff to the songs too, but the really special things are the works of those two.
Compare 2002 to 2006, think 2 minutes... and everything will be clear like pure water. At least, it is for me.
There are smiles in the band now. It works better.
It works better, I agree. But when it comes to the studiowork I believe BH is essential.
