who feels a void after buckethead?

[Slipdisc]

Ron is the only worthy replacement for Buckethead. If this band is going on without Bucket (which they do), then this incarnation with Ron is the only right thing to do...

Ron is absolutely amazing...

I trust all the judgement I hear.

Like I said I have nothing against Ron. I look forward to discovering his musicianship further and enjoying his contribution to GNR. It's just sad to see Buckethead go that's all.

There aren't many people on this forum who miss Buckethead more then I do, I really know what you're saying. I spend the last four years here aupporting him like he's my brother...

I do

I'm glad bucket is gone.  He never really seemed into the band.  I think bubble will be great!

[Jimmy?]

Go bumble! YEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH 

[Slashead]

I don't feel a void since he never did anything I remember.. It's like missing someone that was never there..

Same feeling if Fortus, Finck or Stinson left, actually...

[ssiscool]

not really this ron thal dude seems cool. i felt a void when slash left though

That's exactly what I was thinking.  I don't feel a void after Buckethead!  What was a Buckethead?!?  I definitely the void prior to that! 

[jimmythegent]

pretty soon it will be a recognised condition -'Post GNR Lead Guitarist Departure Emptyness' 

seriously, I feel a bit of a void, although it's miniscule compared to the void that Slash (and the rest of them) has left

[Axlfreek]

haha, weird, right when i started reading this thread "Move On" by Jet started playing on my playlist.

anyway, i loved buckethead, he was a great guitar player, probably the best i've ever hear. and for those who say he has no "emotion" in his playing go pick up "Colma". i was sad to see him go. but honestly gn'r seem more of Rock band more than ever now.

Void? How can you feel a void for a person who isnt dead? I mean its not like you cant listen to the person's next album. You feel this "void" then get that persons latest album. How can anyone feel a void when Slash left GnR? Its not like they have come out with anything substantial for 13+ years. Wait til CD comes out than you can say..gee...I miss slash and so and so on this album. Guess I will wait for the new VR to come out. Now if you say you felt a void when Dimebag got shot in the face that is another story. That I can understand.

[Axlfreek]

dimebag got shot in the face ? wow. what a degrading way to go.

[prolog]

everyday there is this void in me that thinks and imagine what if...

what and where G&R will be if Buckethead stayed... oh well. i guess there will be time to move on.

one thing that i think of is why we didn't hear from Brain regarding Buckethead leaving?? like what happened or any explanation...like a behind the scenes stuff.  they have a long history of collaboration and playing shows. and IIRC it was Bucket who recommended Brain to G&R when Freese left. i could imagine that he could've said something in light of the fact that Tommy "badmouthed" BH.

[GNR estranged]

definatly. i love buckethead and while i dont like his image in the band you cant talk shit about his abilities. he is amazing. if you are going to talk shit about him, listen to the songs with the new band from 2002 and compare bucketheads solos with bumblefoots solos. there were a bunch of bumblefoot solos during like KOHD and others that just sounded bad. im not judging him yet because he is new but i definatly missed buckethead the last two nights. 

[Top-Hatted One]

listen to nottingham lace is you think he lacks emotion!

Bumblefoot has been rehearsing the songs for a mere week now, given the circumstances (first time for a huge crowd etc), he did an excellent job ... really. I'm one of the biggest Buckehead-fans, but I know for a fact that Ron is perfectly able to create equal magic. They both are in a league of their own.

I know it might be ridiculous to say there is a void after Buckethead left even though Buckethead wasn't a groundbreaking member of the band whatever, but i dunno, for the time he was in the band, he really was a big part of it and helped evolve guns n roses to the next level and add a new dimension and feeling to their sound

And I'm sure any other generally respectful Buckethead fan out there like myself (and pretty much every other Buckethead fan who has replied to this) is very sad to see Buckethead go, but at the same time, very accepting and willing to support this Bumblefoot guy..

Once again that is my feelings..

It's still sad to see Buckethead go...But I will appreciate Bumblefoot's contribution to the future of GNR..

It's not just because I'm a huge fan of his...he just..I dunno...like everyone else, well I wasn't exactly upset after Slash left - personally I thought this would be an interesting challenge to see how Axl could progress GNR - but I felt it was going to be a very different band....Buckethead made up for that completely and even more, and I hope - actually I have faith - that bumblefoot will be able to fill Buckethead's void

[oldgunsfan]

from what i've heard, he was good on some tracks, and others i didn't care for; from what i've seen from the pics recently they look like a rock band now rather than a circus side show like they did in 2002

i dont...robin is all i need
