Bucket will not join back GNR...

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

now that's interesting...

Bucket will not join back GNR...

I think you are probably right but the possibility hasn't been completely ruled out yet.

[Buddha_Master]

If I said it once I said it a billion fucking times. Bucketheads work better be on Chinese Democracy and better not have been redone.

If Buckethead returns to GNR for live shows, then GNR live will only be better musically for it.

There is Buckethead...then there are second rate guitar players.

Robin left then came back, so you never know. But didn't Bucket leave before too? Right before the RIO GIG? I'm pretty sure of reading about the negotiations and no one thought he'd show up, then there he was.

Bucketheads work seems to really flow and help the new songs. It'll be a shame if he doesn't come back.

[SLCPUNK]

I think BH will come back.

[leo5150]

well all you gnr fans take care.and dont worry mr buckethead came to his senses.

I always tought that Buckethead was a little bit overrated...I love his way to play, but if he doesn't have this ''freak'' look, we would not talk about him right now...

Oh lord, you just had to go there, didn't you?

[Voodoochild]

I sure hope he does.

I guess his popularity increased a lot since the leaked demos.... Most haters had to admit that his solos are awesome!

true that

We don't know who (if any) of the 2002 touring band will be back.
Remember, these guys were ALL hired guns, not official members.
And I would hardly think Buckethead will be back.
Axl is GnR.... and it even though many of you are obsessed with Bucket, the band will be fine without him.
The fact that he has a tour break for 6 weeks hardly means that he's going to play with GnR.
You people are way too into conspiracy theories.

Everyone from the 2002 tour (sans Bucket) will be back...and they are all members of Guns N' Roses. What about Pitman though?

[awhellzno05]

As much as I like Bucket's work I don't see him comming back since Tommy said it was a nightmare working with him.  I think the band as a touring unit might be better without him.  Who knows maybe he'll just be on the albums?

[destroier]

It has to be either bucket or slash. If Slash was back that's a secret they couldn't keep, so that means bucket will be touring with them.

[metallex78]

You have to admit, as bizarre as he is, Bucket was definitely one of the big draw cards to the nuGN'R line-up along with Axl. There's no doubt that guy sure can shred.

And speaking as a guitar player, I know I wanna hear some really great guitar stuff in nuGN'R, not just Axl.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I dunno. Time will tell. There's been a lot of bad words said between both camps, even though Axl said they were open to talks. I'm thinking now that everything is full steam ahead, both sides can come to an agreement and Bucket will rejoin. The guy is extremely talented, and I've been wary as to his involvement, because I didn't really see him adding anything other than pure shredding, but with these leaks, I'm impressed. His solo in the 'TwaT' outro gives me goose bumps...

[hally187]

bucket wont be coming back, he screwed axl and the rest of the band over, and everyone who's been quoted has said that hes "difficult to get along with" or whatever so as much as it sucks that hes probably written/recorded most of the lead work on the album, he wont be back.  Slash wont be back, maybe him and Axl will work out their differences or something in the future but i dont think either of them are interested in a reunion, they've gone their separate ways and both seem to be happy with that.  I dont know if they will get a replacement for buckethead, they might suffer live without him there to play his own solos lol, but i think its probably more of an issue that he 'may' be on the album even though hes not in the band which is just weird... so many possibilities, only time will tell, but no bucket and no slash as far as I can see.
