how would you feel IF buckethead's parts DO stay but Buckethead stays OUT

[noonespecial]

If they take BH's stuff off the album then I don't know that there will be an urgency (for me) to buy this album...although I do really like Richard Fortus...it's hard to say because all we really have is these guys doing all this really old material (with the exception of about 5 songs which can basically be considered "old" stuff now) ...I'll still buy it, but I'll definitely wait for a sale
Just My Two Cents:
I don't think BH will come back to the band...obviously (at least at this point in time) it's not about money for him, or else he wouldn't have left in the first place...and like someone said, he is really cool to his fans and I don't think the whole "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you" attitude\actions of GNR appeals to BH that much...it was fun while it lasted I'm sure...

Killingvector and Saul, please keep in mind that Philly Riot thinks the solo in Slither is an emotional journey! Not to be a jerk, but that pretty much sums up his musical taste. A generic cock rock Slash wah wah solo is an emotional journey! Granted, the solo is pretty good, but to say it is an emotional journey is quite another matter. Guys like Philly Riot are actually bored by REAL emotional pieces of music. Buckethead is simply way over his head. ? Also, I laugh my ass off everytime someone says that ex bandmembers should have their parts erased. If that was the case we will NEVER get an album! People have come and gone consistently for the past 14 years. I'm betting someone else leaves before Axl finally let's go of this opus.

I dont think it makes buckethead very happy either when shows get cancelled , without explanation , and kids are hurt during the ensuing ensuing riots.

Another thing to think about is maybe upon hearing the lyrical content buckethead made a decision that the material/lyrics werent something he wanted to associate himself with. 

But again , I will/would feel really damn good if Bucketheads parts remain regardless of the fact that he may not return. GNR should try make an effort to put forward the best music possible regardless of who playing and what his/her status is in the "touring" band .. release the best music possible and worry about how to present it live afterwards.

peace all!

I think it appeals to none of the current members, if I understand what you're implying correctly. It's rather some fans' attitude\actions.
And didn't BH's side say it was the inactivity of the band and no release of the album that made him leave?

I agree with you on many points otherwise.

Judging by the IRS solo, I'm not so sure whether they should leave all his parts in.
