John 5 maybe the new guitarist in GNR???

[jarmo]

Is this another case of a fan suggesting who should join the band?

this guy is a great guitarplayer! And he is pretty simular to Buckethead! This would be a great!

Exactly

[RichardNixon]

He's a good guitar player, he played with Manson, David Lee Roth and Rob Halford. I saw him with Manson in late '03. Check these albums out:

Manson-Holywood
Manson-GAOG
David Lee Roth- The DLR Band (eary VH sounding)
Two- Vouyers

John5 is a great guitarist, i saw him play 2 weeks ago with his new band "Loser". They are making a new record, he is quite busy

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

Quit being a bunch of 3rd graders whining about what a person wears.

for real!
haha!

i don't know much about him... heard some mp3 samples back when his name came up before and I liked them
really good 

but whoever joins i would hope would not be judged by his hair/clothes/style
the band as it stands is a wonderful eclectic mix visually
i like that

as for BigBoss...  he's just a fan just like us
Gunners Rule!

ok. after beeing against, I would say I've changed my mind and he could be a good guy.

yeah, I mean the guy has played with David Lee Roth and Halford... and I highly doubt he looked the way he did with them when he was with Manson. I think he might have just done the whole goth look thing for the stage with Manson, so I'm sure he could change his look if he came to GNR.

Alot of artists do that! Change theyr image when theyr in another band. Take Maynard James Keenan. He have a drifferent image when he`s with Tool then with A Perfect Circle. The same with Twiggy! He had this kind of Gothlook when he toured with M.Manson, and when he Joined A Perfect Cirlcle he changed it! Soooo i guess people can dress themselves

[oneway23]

I would like to think that the guitar slot is something GNR has been pondring for a while now....hopefully they've had candidates in mind, whether it be this guy or anyone else....

[killingvector]

I would be for it. John 5 is a very good player. I don't think he is better than Bucket; in fact many Bucket fans were not pleased with john's solo effort since a number of tracks sounded alot like Bucket's solo work.

[badobsession81]

WTF?! God I hope not!

Whas all that chicken-luckin' country guitar doodling about?! certainly would turn the UK off im sure!

[shaun]

The way i see it, any new guitarist will simply be in the band for future live gigs.

haha, so that would mean buckethead was the session guitarist and john 5 (or whoever) would be the touring guitarist!

[norway]

yes, i think thats what gnr aims 4 as it's likely there's finsihed material 4 more than one cd
(done with recording 4 a while)
as long as the player can play good and technically match buckethead (if thats possible? ) i'm in?

[GnRNightrain]

I know i will be bashed for saying this but;

NO MORE FREAKS!!!!!!!

I'm sorry........ he might be a great player, but he looks as if he's from Marylin Manson's band. I'm sorry but that's so uncool. I don't want GNR to look like Goths or whatever. Goths are dorks and if I go to a concert I don't want to stand next to 15 y.o. boys with make-up who still think it's cool to dress as a girl.

No man, seriously....just no.... nowadays you draw more attention when you look normal instead of dressed as a girl. And no one will take GNR seriously if they look like this and the way Robin does.....that style is so not popular in Europe.....

Edit: I just read that he WAS in MM's band. Just get a regular rock 'n roller....

Same for me. I was pretty angry yesterday night on the rumourboard...I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to be attached to the "Classic Rock" vibe of GN'R because this is what GN'R is about for me! Bring a Rocker. Gothic is not what this band is about. That whole story really piss me off. Who's going to join next? a drag-queen? a shemale? I'm sick with all that weird people in GN'R. 50% of the band don't even look like humans.

The deal Axl signed yesterday was fantastic. I was in a very good mood. But few hours after came that John 5 rumour...a thing like that can put me into an anger state that nobody can even imagine...I don't want to see my favourite band of all time turn into an horror film. This is not that band I've always loved. That rumour is a nightmare.

well... I didn?t think Robin played guitar that good on his own style
maybe John 5 could do the same...
and freak?!?!
look to this picture of him... I THINK I WANT HIM IN MY FAVOURITE BAND, as long he?s a good person to be side to side with Axl

Is that a girl or a guy?  Axl might be going a new direction with a female guitarist. 

[ppbebe]

I'm for female guitarists. 

The way i see it, any new guitarist will simply be in the band for future live gigs.

I am with you.  Any new guitarist
 except for Brian Carol...................Yes. Of course I am A pest.
will be the touring guitarist.

[Schwarzgold]

Well, the stuff played on his website rocks ... the third title could be DIRECTLY of a (imaginary) classic GNR album.

[norway]

I'm for female guitarists.?

i would like a female guitarplayer as a tourinmember, prolly alone with that?
