who feels a void after buckethead?

[Stonerose]

I definatley do not feel a void now bucketheads gone, he was/is a joke

[slashisvr]

i miss him, at first i hated the guy, i thought a guy with a yellow rain coat with a KFC butcketon his head, but i heard his playing and was amazed!!!!its just a gimmick a funny one

[MeanBone]

ron thal is good, but they don't sound as good with him there, nightrain for once is sucking big time, what i thought was their best song is just average now. axl is singing it better, but without bucket's solo it's just lame, ron's solo is boring, it repeats itself a lot a misses melody, besides the guy has an awful guitar tone compared to BH.... i miss bucket. his sound is deeply missed.

[MrBrOwNsToNeR]

nobody loved BH in 2002 and now every body want's him back 

[MeanBone]

i loved him. search my posts if u don't believe it

I feel a void without Bucket in the band. I saw the band in 2002 with Bucket and in 2006 with Ron. Ron's playing isn't as good as Bucket's and he just doesn't have that intangible thing that Bucket has. Bucket could have been a big star with this band and Ron will never be a big star. Axl please fire Ron and get Bucket back.?

[Slipdisc]

Ron will never be a big star.

Don't kid yourself in believing your own anti-Ron propaganda.

Ron is one of the most prolific forces in guitar music today.

He is every bit as respected as Buckethead, like it or not.

-PEACE-

Ron will never be a big star.

I reallly hope you're wrong 'cause he's the only reason I'm even interested in gnr right now....along with Axl that is ofcourse

Search my posts, and you'll see what I say right here is what I've said all along: I knew the Bucket haters would come around when the demo songs couldn't be replicated live as they were in the studio or that the '02 new songs sounded different this time around. Simply put, no one plays like Bucket. His tone is so warm, and he plays the shit out of the old stuff. Just listen to Nighttrain from 02. Now we've got what we've got, and we're gonna have to deal with it cause Bucket ain't coming back. Robin may have gotten better this time around, but Ron is a step down from Bucket. I could give two shits about his image, because when I listen to his CDs or boots, I don't see the guy, I just hear his incredible playing. Image only matters live and on video. Most casual fans will never see GNR live and videos don't get played on TV anymore, so what difference does it make what Bucket's image is.

If BH is a joke, what the fuck do you call a guy that cant play his parts?




Great post, Bigbri. You seem to get shit sometimes, but its because some people just cant handle the truth. Certain types of fans will just worship anything that Axl throws at them, just because they think they're supposed to.

OP - Buckethead was a joke, a disgusting joke, and one which got very stale very fast...who could take GNR seriously when a man with a chicken bucket on his head played a bluegrass finger pickin solo....seriously, a disgrace!

[JohnMorrison73]

buckethead no soul? listen to electric tears. buckethead is a circus act but finck isn't? dont judge a book by its cover

Now that is one hell of a vid - I guess Buckethead can't be for everyone, but I thought he was great in GnR and I hope that any music he wrote for Chinese Democracy still makes it onto the album cause he is an amazing songwriter.

A guy named "MotleyCrue" is calling Buckethead a joke!  Oh, the irony.

Buckethead never filled a hole in my opinion. He was just a replacement thru and thru.

[prolog]

all the people complaining that Buckethead doesn't belong in G&R because of his image...he looks like a circus freak,etc.
if you look back in the 2001-2002 tour G&R looked like a circus... finck looked like a geisha with all the white makeup, chris pittman had that cop from village people look. the only ones who looked normal were tommy stinson, dizzy and axl (well, axl was wearing all those jerseys, so i'm not sure   )

what was good about Buckethead joining G&R back then was he brought his talent in. at first i was skeptic when they announced he joined, but when i heard his stuff...i was amazed. and when they played live i can't get enough of his guitar playing, he nailed the original GNR songs while adding his style in it.

Ron Thal i guess is an adequate replacement so far, but i still hope they keep BH's part in the album.

I feela  void for bucky

[Jim Bob]

no i dont really feel a void.  i do like buckethead better than bumblefoot, but not by much.  they are both really talented but honestly, robin and richard are the guitarists that catch my interest.

Im not against ron, all the fans that met him says hes a "nice guy" but when I watched his performance, honestly, he did not have that total complete Guitar God that dominates my soul n loyalty like Bucky does. Sometimes when I watch n listen to bucky I feel like Im floating into some kind of deep guitar ecstacy of rock n roll that leaves my jaw dropped open drooling in awe of his magnificience. I just ADORE him. I think Ron does play good its just theres a more kind of complacent down to earth energy that seems almost sleepy for me. ....keekee...but I do hear hes a nice guy so thats cool
