Cuz numerous members said that Robin and Richard will be sharing guitar duties
Dave, an ex-extreme member already destroyed an excellent rock band. do we need to see it happen again? I don't think so.
Besides can you see the headlines?
"GnR goes Extreme"
For some unknown reason Axl Rose has aquired the services of former extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, who is known for writing classic hits such as "Get The Funk out" and "More than Words".
Axl has since been quoted as saying, "Finally we can bring the recording process to a new level"
seriously though, Extreme sucked once already, there is no reason to see any of them back in the spotlight
Do you even have a clue how great nuno bettencourt is? I bet you don't. He is one of the best guitarist in the world. Have you even heard his solo stuff?
Actually no i haven't heard his solo stuff, but i have heard he is a really good guitarist. I was making a joke more than anything. sorry to hurt your feelings. but those 2 songs i mentioned were pretty crappy you have to admit that at least.
Besides i doubt Axl will bring in another guitarist, just cuz of all the things said by band members in interviews.
I have a feeling gnr will remain, Axl, Robin, Richard, Tommy, Brain, Dizzy, Pittman (If pittman is even still there)

I hope u are aware how different Extreme is from Guns N' Roses. Extreme sounds like a remake of Bon Jovi (Cupid's Dead
). Do you want a guitarist like that in GN'R? True, Nuno is a good guitarist, but not everybody's playing style suits the band,

Nuno Bettencourt would be a dream. come on he's portuguese like me, and my dad knows the guy! i'd so get to meet him then, cuz then it would be worth it! so he could tell me all about Axl's Moustache.
other than him, there's about a zillion guys that can fill in Slash/buckethead's shoes. i guess nuno would just be a lot cooler than any of the other guys.

That's a first, I don't think I've ever heard "Nuno" and "cool(er)" in the same sentence...

Then you should know he great he is. And he is "cool" if you have ever seen him away from extreme.

Sorry but that?s just not the case, IMO. Nuno is a very good player, but players like Buckethead and Thal raised the bar and dance circles around him. Keep in mind that Buckethead and Thal are just three years younger then Nuno, yet they grew so much more during their career (I?m not talking about celebrity status here)? Their chops are so much more insane, the songwriting is richer, more diverse and contemporary. Bettencourt?s technique alone would be quite a big bottleneck if he was expected to do live what Buck did on the album (knowing Buck?s and Nuno?s abilities).

I disagree. I think Bettencourt is right up there with BH. BH may be a tad better but Nuno could play BHs parts on CD without a doubt.

He can play, no doubt about it.
But..
Axl's got an up hill battle as it is, I don't think hiring the former guitarist from Extreme (no matter how skilled he is) would be in the best interest of GNR. Too much baggage comes along with
stigma that goes with the tag "former Extreme guitarist", negating any type of "cool" whatsoever.

Fortus played with N Synch and no one cares. So why would this be different?

I've really never heard Richard referred to as "former NSync guitarist".? Only "former Physcadelic Furs"
or "former Love Spit Love guitarist".? ?Beyond that, he's basically played in obscurity.
Bettencourt will always be known as "former Extreme guitarist" and no matter how you cut it, it's just
not cool.?
Is it fair?? Hell no.
Is it a perception thing?? Absolutely.?

No one would care that nuno was from extreme, plus that band was pretty big back in the day.

how can u even compare ron thal's cds to nuno's. not even virtuosos like his shit. he is just so out there that i doubt anyone gets it. and even if u do, believe me u'r not the majoraty here.
schizophonic is a great cd, and yes, Nuno is just as good as BH. never the less it don't matter, the guy can play and write, he has awsome tunes, and he would seem a lot less weird then the guy with a bucket and a white mask. bh seems like he came from a star wars convention ( don't get me wrong i love the guy, in and out of gn'r) but nuno is much more of a rock n roll kinda a guy. BH is not rock n roll. and besides nuno is no longer part of extreme so i don't think it's fair to judge him cuz of his past, since then he has done a lot better since then IMO.
Butch walker was the guitar player for southgang that horrible 80's band that seemed like a rip off of extreme. and now he's this talented producer and song writer, so people can evolve into something different. and judging nuno's work, i guess it's the same situation. check out his band population one. they rock

Cherone is not Nuno. So I dont see your point? And right now it seems that nuno is play with Perry Farell, so you think Janes fans care? No, they dont.
