The only solution to save Guns n' Roses

[HoldenCaulfield]

He played the following solos:

Jungle
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
You Could Be Mine
Out ta Get Me
Madagascar
My Michelle
Nightrain

Out of 18 songs, he played 7, and 4 of those had multiple, smaller solos in the song played by someone else.

This is not only a specific Buckethead problem, but a WHOLE problem about the "new" members. I mean, who will be the next? another "contract"?. Guns n' Roses is not Microsoft, it's not a company, it's a music band. You can't "buy" it. it's a human relashionship. Does bono have a contract for "the edge" to be in U2?

The only solution to save Guns n' Roses is... TO REFORM THE BAND BEFORE CONTABAND IS RELEASED.
Either Axl AND The former members (Duff, Slash...) decide to TALK or Guns n' Roses will die in the next 2-3 months.

Axl, take your responsability. It's a run against time...

I got a personal conflict with that...
I would love to see them reunite, it's my dream, but I don't want "contraband" to be locked and neither Chinese Democracy and all Axl's recordings... I want it to be released!!

If they get together again (if ever possible, I don't think so) they would take another year or more to get together an album.. no way !!!

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

Axl can save GN'R as soon as he wants to. If BH is gone, that sucks because it's a set back but it doesn't mean it's over unless Axl gives up completely.

I feel really bad for Axl and the guys.  
No fucking luck.. I swear
I don't get it.
Everything we've heard (especially from Mystereon) points to the CD being near ready to be released and to an actual tour.
If Buckethead's gripe/problem with GNR lies in no album / no tour... Why leave now?

Was it you or youngunner that listed Buckethead in the ULTIMATE GNR LINEUP thread a few weeks back?  Cant remember anymore.

youngunner is gonna be suicidal when he hears the Bucket man has left....

The only solution to save GNR is intensive therapy for Axl..something like 22 hours a day for 15 years....

Actually, Guns N Roses is a brand name comprised of whoever Axl deems fit to be in the project.

No more, no less.

It's not 1987 anymore for cryin out loud.  

Move on.

And for the love of God, quit posting threads that alway beg for a reunion.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Like I said, I love Bucket, love him to death, but I think a lot of people overstate what he has done with GNR.

[Will]

Does bono have a contract for "the edge" to be in U2?

We're talking about something completely different. U2 has had the SAME line-up for 25 fuckin years and counting...Sure Edge and Bono had some arguments but it's a different world...Axl has been trying to rebuild a new band for more than 7 years now (when the last ex-Gunners left)...it's not an easy task and I think we all witnessed that over the past few years...

[rocktar81]

welcome to 1999   Guns n' Roses starts from scratch...once again.
But now Axl is 42...what a bad week for the Guns n' Roses fans  

[oneway23]

Regardless of how many solos Bucket did or didn't play on tour, the dilemma here is that GNR no longer has a world-class guitarist from a technical standpoint to convey and interpret any musical ideas that might come about.  The argument that we cant be that upset because we can't gauge his contributions to studio material is BS...This is all about potential here...The bottom line is that its a substantial decrease in talent.

To even think of a reunion is the most ridiculous thought a GNR fan could have. Do you honestly believe that after Slash and Duff have done all this work with VR that they'd drop everything as soon as Axl calls and says "Hey, I was just messin' around! Come on back!"?

Aww..poor Axl  

Yeah, its really about "luck".  Why would this be luck?  Its understood that Axl runs the show, and obviously hes not doing a great job or all 800 of GNRs members over the last decade wouldnt have left.  He said it himself - ultimately, the responsibility is his.  By making the GNR name his, HE deserves all liability and credit for the state of GNR.  If GNR was successful at the moment, youd all be cheering about what a super-genius Axl is for making it happen.  But when things arent looking good (and they havent looked good for over a decade really), its everybody elses fault.  Its the manager for booking tours without permission, its the record company for putting out a Greatest Hits record after supplying him with millions of dollars for a perpetually delayed album, its the ex-members for deserting him, its Clear Channel, its luck, its everybody BUT Axl...Well, he made himself Guns N' Roses.  Its his.  He calls the shots.  He made his bed.  This is Axls Guns N' Roses...its great, isnt it?

[gnrforever666]

Axl Should just ask gary sunshine to join the band.

[Malcolm]

this is all bullshit [puke]

gnr needs a real guitar player

You think the guys in VR would want to run back to Axl and this whole mess?
In my eyes, the only chance of a full or partial GnR reunion, would be if the whole Velvet Revolver thing gets a lukewarm reception from the public AND Mr. Weiland's drug/rehab issues prohibit the band from perfoming and functioning as a unit. And even if that did happen, it would probably be minimum 6 months from now, not when Velvet Revolver has a finished album and the publicity ball rolling along.

as much as i hate to say its the truth... I agree with you...

Clear Channel, Geffen, Overseas Tour promoters, They have all tried to work this out....

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Axl needs to site down with the band and relase the dam CD and start a tour only after the CD has been out and then everything will be ok.   Then Buckethead would be back maybe if he ever did quit.  

[GunsLova]

Like I said, I love Bucket, love him to death, but I think a lot of people overstate what he has done with GNR.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. The importance of BH wasnt just in how many solos he played, but the reputations he brought in to the band.... Without him, GNR is like Ratt..tthey are gonna get laughed at even more than before....

[DEAD HORSE]

If Buckethead is leaving wich i dont like , well then  i hope fuckin brain quits  too,becuase i hate that  shit in Guns N Roses like a drummer!  


Axl . Call Izzy And Steven Adler!!! That's it! You got the beat and the rythm....and great lyrics also! !!!!!
