The Third Guitarist Question (should Buckethead rejoin or maybe even Slash?)

[Smoking Guns]

Actually, I am confused. ?IRS is the solo I am thinking about that sounded like Zakk, not TWAT. ?Twat sounded like Slash.... ?But really, it did, Slash, Morello, and Wylde combo. ?Okay, just Wylde.

[Smoking Guns]

there's a rumour on mygnrforum that Michael Angelo Batio is the new guitarist

Great, Axl will replace one of the fastest guitar players in the world with, one of the fastest guitar players in the world.  Why not just be done with it and get Paul Gilbert?

[mikegiuliana]

I still wish i could hear the slash qylde jam sessions..

[Smoking Guns]

I do have the Wylde and Slash Voodoo Child.  It kind of sucks cause Zakk's guitar is so much louder, but still cool.

sign the anti-3rd guitar player petition

http://www.petitiononline.com/rfinck/petition.html

I would never sign something saying that Fink or Fortus is better than Buckethead  That is just Funny

[Exnavymike]

I just read a "rumor" on CD.com forum that this dude, Michael Angelo Batio, could replace Buckethead.  Check out his myspace, http://www.myspace.com/michaelangelobatio, the dude is fast.  Pretty sure he could handle any of Buckets stuff.  Just another rumor.

word to that. i was just thinking about "what if Gilbert was in GNR" today. Batio is lame. hes not "all speed and no melody" like his reputation suggest but still, hes a looong way from Slash or even Buckethead when it comes to throwin down good rock n roll licks

I saw a video of Michael Angelo Batio on on his website and this guy is not human, he was playing a guitar with four necks - two on each fuckin' side of the body, faster than my eyes could follow. I've never seen anything like it. He is definetely a show man, intresting to watch, but his tone and playing lack a lot of feeling. His music is kinda like the "from guitarists for guitarists" kind of stuff. I doubt he would fit in GN'R.

Looks the part.

It's clearly not saying that. It's saying that if the 3rd guitarist isn't buckethead, don't bother trying to replace him, because you already have two amazing guitar players

[killingvector]

I really don't think a petition is going to do anything.

Axl clearly would not greenlight live dates without some plan in mind. I really think he has a third guitarist ready to go.

[younggunner]

KV there is def a plan in place. All the bases are covered....the moment we've all been waiting for is about to take off before our own very eyes...its gonna be exciting the next few yrs....

[Saul]

difference between buckethead and micheal angelo s that bucket can actually slow down and play with feel ad emotion , mab is 100 mph all the time.  dumbest rumor ever.

[ryan_of_lax]

That guy is the LAMEST guy I have EVER seen.
I swear, if he is in Guns N' Roses, I will stop all support of the band.

All the "guitar freaks" that I know worship this guy, because he has a 4 neck guitar.

His style doesn't belong anywhere near Guns N' Roses. At least Buckethead could play a regular solo if he wanted. This guy plays the cheesiest of cheesey metal solos all the time, and looks like he belongs in Ratt.

No Michael.

[F*ck Fear]

Even though I'm not a fan of his look,I want the Bucket back
But I don't see that happening and if they don't get anyone soon,I hope Finck doesn't play lead..Give it to Fortus so he can improvise some shit up

[axl2]

Zakk,Slash,Bucket and Michael are my top picks.

either would be good. all are so amazing at each thing they do. Michael Angelo is just nuts.

[F*ck Fear]

You can pretty much forget all of those guys.
Slash - no
Zakk - He won't be in the same room with Axl,let alone his band (Just my thoughts)
Michela Angelo whatever the fuck his name is - This rumor has already been shot down by Merck

[Luigi]

Just seeing who shows up on stage is gonna be shocking I'm gonna guess Slash shows up and a few other Guest Guitarist?
