Will Buckethead be back for a new tour?

[RichardNixon]

If the new album really does come out this year and there is another tour, 'yall think Buckethead will do a tour? Maybe he hasn't been replaced because his parts are staying on the album.

[ComeOnAxl!]

Hang on a min, Axl just walked by my house, i'll ask him.

its been over 1 hour......did you manage to ask Axl       

[Luigi]

yes

[mrlee]

i hope he doesnt come back he is just boring, the way he just stands there. Its really annoying, i hate it when a musician has no emotion when he performs.

But does that outweight his contribution to the album? Its all well and good, but if Cd is created to be played by 3 guitarist with lots of added texture then Axl has a problem, taking away those parts could leave the songs relatively bare. What ever happens will be interesting, i think a touring guitarist is the best bet, hopefully one that can "play the hell out of the old stuff" and reproduce BH's parts.

[mrlee]

Axl should have gotten zakk wylde when he had the chance.

[odd1]

No Axl should not have gotten Zakk Wylde!
Fortus and Finck can handle the guitars just fine themself.
If buckethead, Slash or Izzy comes back great, if not, Robin and Richard is fully capable of playing the songs . Both new and old imo 

[mrlee]

i dont think the new members do the old songs very well. Well the performance i heard of knocking on heavens door was just so bad i cant describe it.

[killingvector]

With a fair degree of confidence, i can say that Buckethead will not be back.

Mrlee, you must be smoking some good crack this morning.  The new band plays the old songs very well, better than the old band.  The old band was always so sloppy and intoxicated where as, the new band is musically tight and in control.  Also, enough of the "Axl should have hired Zakk" crap.  He's a one dimensional player and not a Gunner...

Wooow dude Sit Down Before you Fall down man 

[gilld1]

What are you talking about, eh?  I'm cooler than the other side of the pillow and Zakk still sucks!!

why that?

tommy stinson's comments about the character of the man clinched it for me.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Not likely, he probrally will have a lot of explaining to do if he really did what Axl claims.

They don`t need him anyway, Fortus is a great lead guitar guy.

THough I hope they keep Buckets parts in CD. Just label him as a guest star & songwriting contributor in the credits.

[Walapino]

I certainly hope he never comes back! 

[noonespecial]

me too...he deserves to be treated a lot better than that...

[Elrothiel]

Hehehe, my college mate would go mental on this! He'd be thinking "OF COURSE BUCKETHEAD SHOULD RETURN!!" and then type out a really really long post which he would make seem really logical and sensible that he'd immediately make all of us turn into zombies thinking "Yes... Buckethead should return.... Buckethead is a great guitarist.... braaaaaaiinnnssss!!!"
Personally, I think although BH is a great axeman, he is emotionless... I guess that's why he wears a Michael Myers mask with a KFC bucket on his head.... to make him look interesting and mysterious. IMO, he should get rid of the bucket and the mask, dye his hair bright green, make Marley style dreads out of it, smoke weed onstage, and do as good a Native American dance as possible while playing guitar. So... a Rob Zombie/Bob Marley/Jim Morrison-esque dude, who calls himself Buckethead.
Then he'd be a real Gunner. Only Gunner's are that interesting!
Oh, and if he wears the mask because of burn scars, then... dude... you're a Gunner!! It won't matter! You'll still get loads of fucking pussy because you're IN A BAND! A FAMOUS BAND! WITH LOTS OF FANS!!
I'm going now!
I love you all!

First of all people need to stop this whole "Zakk Wylde sucks" thing.  If you think Zakk Wylde sucks then you're a frigging moron...plain and simple.  I don't care who that statement pisses off.  Zakk Wylde is an amazing guitarist.  Whether he is right for Guns is another question.  And secondly I hope to never hear from Buckethead ever again.  He's a weirdo.  I don't care how talented he is.  People say Zakk isn't right for Guns, he's a much better fit than Bucket.  He's got that bad ass attitude that Guns USED to have.  Thank God Buckethead is gone.
