Place your own odds as to the next guitarist!
«

Winner gets, well, nothing!
Here are mine, with a reasoning:
Zakk Wild 300-1: Apparently not touring with Ozzy this year, has played with Axl in past. Still has BSL and has said Axl should get back with Slash.
Buckethead 200-1: Relationship with Axl is strained...never had a good relationship with Finck....seems to enjoy his solo efforts more. Has contributed significantly to recording process (we think)
Wes Borland 100-1: Would bring commercial appeal with him, would piss off too many older fans and people who hate nu-metal
Gilby Clarke:75-1: Not touring with Heart, has the least acrimony towards Axl out of any of the old band members.
Ajax Garcia: 20-1: Has had contact with Stinson, has written a totally-butt-kissing statement begging to be in band. Not well known, has yet to hear back from anyone.
Someone else: 10-1: face it, it could be anyone, or maybe no one at this point...hopefully we will know "in a few months"
Now, what are your odds?

How about Kenny Wayne Shepherd? He's a guitar genius. And, I don't think he's touring right now. Guess we'll have to wait and see...
10-1

Zack's not touring with Ozzy for Ozzfest this year? Really? What's up with that?

A smart bet would be a virtual unknown (Fortus tyoe).

Here's my (not so serious) take on it.
Tracii Guns: 500 - 1: Hey.....Probably would pay better than his Brides of Destruction gig, and would give his left nut to play with Axl again.
Slash: 100 - 1: Timing isn't right, but with their history, never say never...Odds will go down if Axl still hasn't replaced buckehead a year from now
Nuno Bettencourt: 75-1: Rumored to have been approached by someone in the GnR camp about his interest. Has momentum building for his own band out in LA, and has no interest in being a part of any supergroup kind of situation, and his personality wouldn't blend well with Axl.
George Lynch: 130 -1: Too busy taking steroids
Joe Perry 150 - 1: After Aerosmith tours Japan this July, rumor is their taking a very long break. Joe could nail all of Slash's solos too.
Jerry Cantrell: 60 -1. Currently jamming with a cover band out in LAs with John Corabi and Billy Duffy. Might not be a terrible fit as a fill-in.
Mick Mars: 250 -1: Still waiting for the Motley reunion to happen, but health issues and the fact that he's 93 years old wouldn't let this happen.
Warren DeMartini: 120 -1. Desperate for a gig with somebody. Rumored to be playing with Dio and White Lion in the past year, but never happened. Stephen Pearcy isn't interested in coming back to Ratt, so Warren needs the work.
Chris DeGarmo: 80 - 1: No clue what this cat is up to.
Reb Beech: 40 -1: Good guitarist...has been a hired gun before. Would fit the image OK.
Vernon Reid: 240 -1. Axl could shock us all by bringing in a rock guitarist who is not only black, but has a jazz-fusion influence in his sound. But he wouldn't.
Brian May: 30 -1: Good relationship with Axl. Isn't too busy these days. May agree to do some recording and/or touring as a favor to Axl.

Wow, how can i lose?
My money is on there not being a replacement. Bhead's been out of the frame for ages...if they haven't got a replacement now they probably never will.....

I see only two realistic possibilities:
1) Buckethead returns
2) they stick with Fortus and Finck and possibly drag someone else along for touring.
This all assumes the band is still functioning at all.

And at this point, he's probably a better singer than Axl, too. However, since he already recently turned down a chance to reunite with Extreme, saying that would be a step back into the past, I really doubt he would jeopardize his integrity & sign on for Axl's freak (non)show.
Someone mentioned Chris DeGarmo, he's not touring with Queensryche anymore, he actually has a job - he's a commercial air pilot.

And as for Zakk, yea, he's a crazy fucker too, but unlike Axl, he actually has his shit together, & would probably kick Axl's stupid little ass the first time Axl no-showed or showed up late for a gig.
In other words he wouldn't be able to be "controlled" by Axl, so Axl probably wouldn't want him in. I can imagine Zakk telling Axl to take that "non-disclosure" contract & shove it.

ill say someone else that hasnt been mentioned yet. I cant see Axl content with anyone below Buckethead's capability and talent being a possible replacement. Time will tell though I guess.

Slash: 10000-1
Very very very fuckin? hard
Brian May: 1000-1
He has said don?t wanna touring anymore, but good relationship with Axl makes iit don?t be impossible (but it?s almost...)
Steve Vai: 1000-1
OK, he would?t accept, but I?d love to see him in GN?R.
Zakk Wilde: 500-1
2 bands seems enough to him... would be amazing see him on GN?R.
Axl Rose (as base): 100-1
It?s a possibility, but would suck... imagine what a horrible show see Axl as a palm tree on the stage...
Ajax Garcia: 20-1
Seems be possible and he seems to be able (the statemant says everything!)
Buckethead: 10-1
Axl kept the door opend
An unknown guitar player: 3-1
A big possibility... as Buckethead was one day.

I beleive Mick Mars, Zakk, Borland and Buckethead's return will never happen, but I have hope for Gilby, Izzy(he ain't realy doing anything) and if he's any good, Ajax Garcia.

Aside from the current 2 best, IMO,
Slash
&
Tom Morello
here are the best of the rest:
No particular order:
Justin Hawkins
- The Darkenss
Alex Grossi
- Beautiful Creatures
Nick Perri
- Silvertide
Although, I would not like either of those 3 to leave their respective bands because the new GN'R has shown nothing concrete. As in why give up something you do have for something that has shown so far.....may never even happen.

I think there's a 40% chance of Buckethead returning. I say that because it seems that the record is pretty much ready to fly (hence
one
of the reasons why Axl tried to put a stop to the GH) and between the amount of time spent on this project, the pressure from the fans and record company, Velvet Revolver's release and the tremendous sales of GH, could there be a more perfect time to release the record?
!!!!
Seems Buckethead was just tired of waiting around with Guns. Although he had his side projects, he was tired of the whole "wait for CD"/ "wait for Axl" campaign. However, if Axl, the rest of the band and the record company can convince BH that plans really are moving ahead and that BH is the last wrinkle to iron out, I think you might see a change of heart in the ol' Buckethead.
Also, didn't we all suspect Brain to follow suit? Seems he's still around. Perhaps that's a good sign of things to come with BH.
Time will tell.
