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

[green]

Yeah i know what u mean but im just trying to say that Slash ain't coming back because people still thinks that Slash will come back.But it WON'T happen......MARK MY WORD

Oh yeah, i get what you mean. It wasn't directed at you specifically ....what I meant was that an article doesn't make me realize that Slash ain't coming back cause enough shit has happened in the past for them to never reunite.

Still I find it a bit stupid or Axl to really think he was the main ingredient for GnR's succes. I guess he never would have thought that Slash would become as popular (or maybe even more) than himself.

Do they really need 3 guitar players? GNR doesn't need to be like Lynyrd Skynyrd and have 11 members!

Well I agree. But these songs were written and produced with 3 players, so basically yeah. The real question is do they really need 2 keyboard players. I mean can't they hide Dizzy and Chris bhind a curtain or something

Possibly. I am not sure if the new songs are specifically designed around three guitarists. I am certain that Finck's abilities extend beyond what I heard from him during the 2002 tour; he could do the Bucket parts but they may not have the same quality and tempo as Big B could execute. Both Finck and Fortus had some trouble with the Slash parts, but both will no doubt shine on the new record.

Personally, I would recommend getting another guy; it could take alot of pressure off Finck n fortus if there was another rhythm player or substitute lead to handle a few of the parts.

On a side note, I am convinced that Brian May will show up on the tour at some point and crank out Catcher for us.

There is no doubt for me that Robin can handle the load. 

If there is a third guitarist it should be Vernon Reid of Living Colour. I just hope its not someone like Wes Borland. That old rumor still gives me nightmares.

Is Zakk Wylde a possibility? He did the TWAT solo didn't he?

As far as I know and im pretty mucha big BLS/Zakk fan his work on CD is not gonna be on the finished product. And I do not think that the solo is Zakk. He wouldnt have time to join he's int he studio writing and recorded the new BLS album and then hes touring Europe, South America, and I think Austrila. Of course Ozzfest and then he'll write and record with Ozzy... too busy.

I like two guitarist and I like BH but I do not think he's right for GnR. Time will tell.

[ILChief]

I don't think they'll add a 3rd guitar. but if they do, my guess is Gilby Clarke.

[1badapple]

they could play with one of those, oh shit, what's it called? a "click-tape" maybe. you know , like a lot of bands do (motley crue and def leppard come to mind).

[bigcash2002]

I think many people on this board would be surprised on how great of a lead player Gilby is and what he may be able to add to GNR.  Sometimes I think people don't give him credit since he filled Izzy's spot on the Illusion tour
If Bucket is truly gone, perhaps Gilby can get into the mix....but who knows, right?

[BLS-Pride]

I'd be down for some Gilby Clark rockin with GnR again.

[misterID]

Since Gilby did the Hollywood Rose thing, and the fact he said this band isn't GNR, I'd say that would be a no. I never really cared for Gilby's playing that much anyway.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gary Sunshine.

[awolgnr]

Axl let Robin come back after he left to tour with NIN.  I am still amazed about that.  I hate, I repeat HATE to beat a dead horse, but Bucket could come back.
Tracii Guns wanted to come back after Nikki Sixx blew off Brides of Destruction to return to Crue, but Axl didn't return his email (that's according to Tracii).  I'd have to guess that both Tracii and Gilby Clarke pissed off Axl with their involvement in the Hollywood Rose remixes.
Slash has VR and no amount of wishing is going to bring him back (at least not until they are as old as the Eagles or the Rolling Stones, and they need the money.)
Paul was decent, but not great, and having him step in would only force Robin or Richard to try to shred, which neither excels at.
Who does that bring us back to? Bucket. 
Unless Axl surprises us like last time, and we find out there is a new member thanks to a last second press release not even put out by the band, management or record company!  Everyone be watching the official sites for the shows coming up... maybe they'll know something first!

[misterID]

Bucket quit the band before. No one thought he'd be at the Rio show and there he was.

i just wish he didnt look that damn weird.. hes got talent and everything.. but.. damn man.. the whole image kinda makes people look at the band and say.. damn... what happened u know?hes a freak.. and we all know it...

That happens until they hear BH play then they dont care what he looks like.

[HungerForChaos]

I think it would be cool to have Tracii guns in the band. Then the name guns N roses would make sense. Is he even talented? Or is he just like average?
