Hey Axl, I didn't know you was here in this board! 
Maybe, there's still a chance to Ron... Maybe the GNR camp change its mind.

Only someone who missed what Axl, Tommy and Dizzy said about Buckethead or is a very naive person can believe he will ever play with Guns N' Roses again.

I love this guy - he does some crazy shit - he actually spoke about what was actually going on! - GNR need a guy like this!

And they haven?t flatly rejected him yet.

Upon request of GnR management, here's the retraction: "I'm NOT in GnR, I never was, I was being
considered."

That's a "polite" way to say it, though.

So, no session is happening?

As I said earlier, I like his SCOM and I think his writing and his guitar play are really nice. So is his personality. And more, he seems practical. But I don?t like this not ballsy but bally comment.

Nobody can replace the original band and I wouldn't dare try. Velvet Revolver kicks ass too btw. bumbblefoot

It could be easily translated as a statement the new can never surpass or pull even with the old. It?s a real bumble of him. On the condition that this was what he meant, no wonder the GNR camp had second thoughts about asking him to be in the lead guitar. Shame, he?s otherwise good. Or rather goody-goody? JIMO and over analysis.

Isnt that what his first statement was before it got out of hand? He said he is trying out for gnr and was asked to lay down some tracks.

You know we wouldnt have all of this bullshit if Axl or someone would give us some official news. Im getting tired of being kept in the dark and not knowing  when anything is going to happen. Axl has an official website fucking use it. Hey AXL this is 2004 you can communicate with you fans over the interent. It might be a garbage can but it can cover your ass when you an asshole or something happens in the band. (ie: Buckethead, Tour, CD and etc.) I wish we would start and get a little bit of respect of being a fan and get some information from guns.

Well, the "was", instead of "am" was a pretty clear indication that it's a done (un)deal. We'll see, I'd really like to see Ron in GN'R, but I don't know, it just doesn't sound good. I mean, do you know any current GN'R member who openly speaks to his fans via a message board on which he posts on a regular basis? He might communicate "too much" for the band/ management's taste.

Quite so. The reason rumors like this spread like wildfire in the first place is that fans are desperate for some scrap of news - any scrap of news. So they seize on things that get misreported and blown out of all proportion because there's no fucking word from the GN'R camp to say what they've been doing for the last twelve years. Ron Thal seems like a really nice guy, and he did the only thing he could do when faced with a bunch of people spreading rumours that he was in GN'R - deny it and state the facts of the case. Are you listening there, Uncle Axl? And just for telling the truth, those moronic suits over at GN'R headquarters come down like the fucking Hitler Youth on the poor guy.

Give Ron Thal a chance, Axl - he's a far better man than those dicks that are handling your PR...

IMO if this guy is the best player axl can get, then he will be the guitarist no matter how much this guy talks. If he gets to  be an offical member I amsure axl will ask him until the album comes out, dont talk about what he going on in gnr.

[Mattman]

I wish Bucket would get back in the band...he was the most distinctive new element of the latest lineup.  You didn't see people at Madison Square Garden dressed up like Robin Finck...no, they were all wearing KFC buckets on their heads.  Bumblefoot seems alright, but Buckethead was the coolest replacement Axl could have found for Slash.  When a weirdo in a white mask and a KFC bucket who talks through a hand puppet leaves the band...well, I guess we could say Axl is getting a little eccentric then.

I agree. he was the best new element of GnR.  I was really looking forward to seeing him shine; I believe we only heard a small taste of what he was to offer.

LOL? !!!? ? ?? ? ?
That is a quote I'm going to use sometimes, if it's alright with you Mattman?

Only someone who missed the Robin departure and rejoin the band can say that. And Axl said some band stuff about it by that time...
I don't have any hope for Bucket's chance, but you never say never.

Fair point, although Axl (and others) has been more vocally displeased with Buckethead than he ever was with Robin.  However, I find these quotes interesting.

"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..." - Axl (MTV, 1999)

"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." - Axl (Press Release, 2004)

 

[Will]

Do you imply that the album might see the light of the day in...2009?

Ok, now you scared the hell out of me. 
I don't know how many steps further Axl needs to finish this damn album.

What! Finally I understand why many ppl are so bitter here.

on the one hand it gives hope to the ones who need hope in beliving that BH may return and on the other hand it gives hate to the ones who need hate in beliving that ChiDem will never come out...
