this guy=not so cool

He's a lot more normal looking than that freak Buckethead, you just chose the most outrageously ridiculous photo of him you could find...come on.

how about steve vai - he used to in whitesnake

Vai has a very lucrative solo career and I find it hard to believe he would compromise his creative freedom to play songs that other people wrote. Besides, I believe he was approached by the GNR camp and turned them down but recommended that they give Ron Thal a listen.

As for the ex-WASP guitarist, if you listen to the audio from yesterday, it was Bach who brought up WASP in the first place and not Axl.

I listened to it twice and both times I could have swore Axl brought up wasp first and he brought them up a few times.

The first mention of WASP was made when Bach was reminiscing about the time he was in Axl's car and Axl cranked a WASP song.

about bumblefoot (using baz kind of voice):

it must be it... just look at his site guys... he left Moscow date on 25th because it would be too obvious if he removed it. the only thing he forgot is those two cities start with the same letter M (so he will be in Madrid)... Also Guns rescheduled (didn't want to use that word, more something like - will be late on) their 27th show so BF can be in Amsterdam from 12-1pm... it all fits perfectly ?

 

I go to sleep, we'll see in few days ?

if Im not very mistaken, I think that was Joe Satriani, not Vai.

Who mentioned it initially means very little - how many times did Axl mention WASP?  And, even so, Bach's first reference was about Axl liking them.  I think Bach knows, but wont say.  Who would, when it's onlk 6 days away from hitting the mainstream anyway?

If you listen real hard to the last time Axl lets us hear the rehearsal you can here the new guitarist.

That "finger picking" is definately NOT Finck or Fortus. Since it is - apparently - not Buckethead then it is someone who not only sounds like him but also plays like him.

[leesixxrose]

Its not the guitarist from wasp... they are not gonna mention wasp if it is... they are not trying to "trick" or "hint".... Your never gonna guess it from listineng to the phone call anyways

and that my friend was a false rumor..  satriani didnt recommended ron thal...

if Im not very mistaken, I think that was Joe Satriani, not Vai.

Guys, the new guitarist you hear on the clip is not Michael Angelo Batio.

Some time ago, when these rumours about him joining were floating around, I emailed his manager, Deb, to find out what was going on. In my email, I asked whether he would be joining Guns N' Roses - and if he wasn't, then why he was so reluctant to shoot the rumour down on the Talking Metal podcast he was on. Here was her reply:

Hi Chris,
No there is no truth to this rumor.

When Michael got hit with the question at talkingmetal.com, he knew he was booked for the year worldwide and stated that.

However, as his agent, I know he realizes that I'm constantly working on major show possiblities and I don't bother him with "maybes" until they are solid. It's not that he meant to hint that it might be true, he was just concerned that "What if Deb is talking with GNR and just hasn't told me yet"? He was being cautious.

At least now I know why Buckethead won't be my friend on myspace! LOL!

Best regards,
Deb

As you can see - no truth to the Michael Angelo rumour. Merck has also confirmed this!
