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

[boston]

He was worried about people labeling him a sellout, now he's a fucking gameshow host. Go figure.

I think bringing Dave back to play with Robin would almost be duplication. The balance with Bucket was Bucket's ludicrous speed. Dave's no shredder. He and Robin are bouth melodic players.

But I'll pose the question again; why do there have to be three guitarists?

3 guitarists, I wonder the same thing

BUT, Navaro can shred, he was a metal guitarist before he was in Janes Addiction, he is the Heavyness in Janes Music, and although it did not always call for that kind of playing, he stuck in when in where it belonged

Because Axl thought so... And now someone has to cover for Buckets parts

[The Dog]

Steve Vai

now I am going to have nightmares

Guns N roses are not about virtuoso guitar players assholes, that is a completly different thing

[killingvector]

I suspect they will go with Finck/Fortus and a new rhythm player. A new lead would require an extensive introduction to the new material; I dunno if this is possible considering that the album is being finished up and the dates are less than 6 months away.

Navarro and Fortus are a bit of a wash; they would perform the same function. I think they need a true lead or a true rhythm.

[WhosGilby?]

I would take Navaro over buckethead

[GNFNR_UK]

and he is currettly doing nothing.......

Actually that isn't true, he's already in a band called The Panic Channel with Perkins and Chaney (from Jane's) and lead singer Steve Isaacs. The band have already recorded their debut album and it is being mixed for a summer release. These guys will probably do a festival, who know's they might be on the same bill as GNR!

If Dave wasn't involved with his new band though, I agree, it would be great if he was in Guns. I've been a fan of Dave's playing for years and he appears to be a really cool guy, always takes time to chat to fans over on his website (6767.com). He is the epitome of Rock N Roll!!

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Just heard that rumor at the rope, not sure if its legit or not, but anyone know if Michael Angelo Batio will be touring with Gnr?

[Mr.Intensity]

Was posted here earlier too and Merck squashed it.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Oh I missed that I was out. Sorry, you can lock this.

[Mr.Intensity]

Some dude said his source said...

Cd would be a double album
Release date is feb 28th
announced M. Angelo Batio as guitarest
and Better would be on I tunes shortly.

[BluesGNR]

May doesn't fit the part, but on the other hand, neither did Bucket.. See what happens but I'm going to say that May wont have any part of a tour. MAYBE a guest appearance.

[supaplex]

i think we shold stop speculating on the player that will fill buckethead's place. i think that one of the two guys can handle buckethead's parts. give the guys a little credit! they are in guns n' roses afterall! they didn't end up here by mistake!

 

[supaplex]

everybody's wonderin' who will replace buckethead. maybe they will just go on with 2 guitar players. you say that they can't play the songs on the album with only two players cos they wererecorded with three, but you don't know how the album sounds. we only have demos and live versions. and if they do really need a third i guess everybody wants slash back but that would be very hard to do in the present time. why not get izzy for the rythm guitarist (he knows the old songs cos' he wrote them and it wouldn't take him long to learn a few of the new ones) and fink do buckethead's work! i think that could work!

[steviebucket]

Finck do Buckethead's parts? I love Finck, but even he would say "I can't" 

[BabyGorilla]

If Michael Angelo were the 3rd guitarist than I would never listen to this band again.

[zombux]

who the hell is that?

[supaplex]

Finck do Buckethead's parts? I love Finck, but even he would say "I can't"

would you prefer navarro or brian may like some others said? i don't think finck would do such a terrible job and mess up buckethead's work.
but we've got a long way to go till summer and who's to say what will happen?

Well, I don't want no one but Buckethead but if I had to settle, I would want a totally new guitarist -- as equally talented and diverse and unique as Buckethead, there's ALOT of great, great, great players out there ... Fortus and Finck though, well don't really measure up when it comes to top echelon type players.

With this tour and stuff though, if BH's parts are on the new songs, i can't see anyone but BH playing it...
