AdZ:

No,you dont have to care. I just hate this "i dont care anymore" feeling I will try to make more intellicent post in the future 

[grog mug]

Obviously you do care if your still going to GN'R website and posting your opinion.  Buckethead was a great pick by Axl, because of GN'R I'm a huge fan of Bucket and even got three toys thrown at my girl and I at his show in Cincinnati.

So is there any news/confirmation to Guns looking into places to play toward the end of the year?  Mysteron can you shed some light on this....?

This is true but if the album had came out with buckethead still in the band then it would have detracted from the music.  His image is totally wrong for GN'R and it would just have been another excuse for the media to take cheap shots at Axl.  Something along the lines of, "When GN'R first hit the big time their guitarist was a strutted around the stage in a top hat, now they have a freak in a KFC bucket and a hockey mask."

who cares about the imago anymore. Guns, with or without Buckethead, ain't the same anymore so there isn't any image thing what comes to Guns N' Roses ..it changes all the time.

[Izzy]

It is becoming clear that Guns n'roses will do a European tour in January/February. We can be very sure of that unless Axl delays again.

Becoming clear? I think they give their own opinions on this too much credit - and to be fair to Axl he has never delayed the album or the tour....because he's never confirmed dates for either - or anything else for that matter

[younggunner]

it changes all the time.

No it doesnt. Thats the biggest misconception with this band. People thinkt hey change all the time, when its clearly not the case

[ppbebe]

Yeah, younggunner but? he meant: It= image=what ppl think=which changes all the time. Yeah?

On this topic, Maybe it?s about time we made one thread dedicated to the rumour board rumours and no more.? ? ?

If you think the image (including the look) isn't important in the music industry, so you are totally wrong.
Whatever you agree or not, the image is as important as your music to sell records. In the music industry, there are rules, there are codes. It's like that. It's part of the marketting image thing. It has always existed, even Elvis cared of his "image" to be successfull. Sincerely, if Britney Spears was fat and ugly, do you think she would have sold about 50 million records worldwide? certainly not!
Concerning the image, a guy like Buckethead is a catastrophe for any Rock band in the music industry. This is the kind of guy that can kill the success of your band because he doesn't look like a human. How could you attach or identify to a...robot? You can be the most talented guy but if you don't have the vibe, the feeling, well you can go home. It's called media attraction. Axl, Slash, and guys like that are increadibly attractives. Buckethea is the totall opposite, he will never be popular. it has been over 15 or 20 years that he has been in the music industry. seriously who knew him before he joined GN'R? NOBODY. absolutely nobody.

yeah, slipknot members are way more human ....

[Jaded]

i have to agree that bucket didn't look right up there with the others and image appears to be so important nowadays

[nesquick]

yeah, slipknot members are way more human ....

alright but in Slipknot they all wear masks, this is the style of this band. They were known like that it corresponds to their image. BUT CONCERNING GUNS N ROSES, that band has a past , a Rock n' Roll image. Fortus totally fits in that band, but Buckethead no. He just doesn't "make it". It's not only a question of look or image, but a question of feeling. There are things you cannot do. It's not like if GN'R don't have a past. they have it. and a strong one.

[jarmo]

This isn't The Hives where everybody dresses the same. 


And I don't understand what a possible tour in Jan/Feb has to do with the clothes they wear. Maybe you're worried that they won't find the right costumes in time so they can't possibly tour that soon?

? ?

I couldn't have explained that better?

[grog mug]

How did this image thing come about?  I've said it so many times and I'll say it again Buckethead is PERFECT for GN'R.  Have you ever seen another band with all these types of players molded into one?  I'll answer that one for ya, NO!!  By the way...hopefully this thread will keep going with the tour rumor actually turning out true...time will tell as always.

If you are gonna take Pot SHots at BH, get it right, its a Mike Meyers mask and KFC Bucket. The Mike Myers mask originally was a Capt Kirk mask in the first Halloween so Either Mike Myers or WIlliam SHatner mask, not a Hockey Mask, that is my boy Jason. Shows how much you know.

LMFAO! I know your heart was in the right place there guy but .. LOL , FYI buckethead doesnt wear a micheal myers mask onstage .. he wears a plain white kabuki mardis gras mask. 

He was inspired by Halloween PT4 but couldnt find a real myers mask so he settled for what he wears now.

Shows how much you know.   

Haha , no offence man .. just had to help you get your facts straight.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

I'm not pot shotting BH i like the guy, and I am wrong on a technicality.
