Chinese Democracy - Should Axl wait for Bumblefoot?

[PhillyRiot]

All signs point to Buckethead remaining on Chinese Democracy.  Just wondering what the general consensus here is.  I don't really see the point of leaving Buckethead in the album if he is no longer in the band.  If Bumblefoot is here to stay, I think he should be on the album.  Otherwise, when will he be on a GNR album???

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I would love to have Bumble contributions on CD.  He's a great writer and singer as well. 

But I can't wait any longer for CD, it needs to be released now.  I can't stand the thought of another delay.

[Lara]

Please! ?

That would mean another delay!

[cmpaller]

Keep your heads right.  Remember there is not even a release date set yet.  So it could still be awhile.

[Walapino]

I dont care, just release the damn thing.

[CheapJon]

I think that it would be the right thing to do letting BBF record BH's parts.. but as you guys are saying it would probably be another delay for several months.. and i want the record NOW.. or in september ?
but in august when they are not touring BBF could try to record as much as he has time to and then they could realse it maybe in october.. but i want Chi-Dem A.S.A.P
so it will probably be BH on chi-dem and BBF on the next record because it will be more records.. hopefully but i think so

[DemocracyRose]

Not in a million years!!!!!!!!!!!

Release it(or a new single) before the US TOUR!!

[McDuff]

yeah release it and then worry about Bumblefoot being on the album after that 

[ppbebe]

I don't really see the point of not leaving Buckethead's parts in the album when those are great. 

Otherwise, when will he be on a GNR album???

maybe on the 3rd or 4th. the succeeding ones.

i like buckets tone and creativity more. if cd had some slow solos there like in colma or electric tears, i'd be very pissed if they were gone. we already lost bucket, let's not make that loss even bigger by losing his biggest quality... the sweet music he can deliever.

[chineseblues]

No he sould not. Leave buckets parts there.

[Fortus]

Bucky parts should be on the album,Bumblefoot can record some parts on the second and third album of the trilogy

[Shirell]

No more delays! Not for nothing or nobody, pleasssssssssssse.

[DazRose85]

Since Bucket came up with the parts, leave them on there for the first album at least. God damn it, let's get it out there already.

[GNFNR_UK]

Bucketheads unique style needs to stay on the album ?
His work simply cannot be replicated (TWAT live in NYC for example). Bucket plays with such emotion and it compliments Axl's lyrics and vocals perfectly, why change that? Bumblefoot seems like a really cool guy and is definately a skilled player but in my honest opinion I prefer Buckets sound.

[Scabbie]

Don't give them any ideas!

I'm excited for Bumblefoots contributions for the third album.

[AxlsMainMan]

There is still time in August when Gn'R wrap up their European tour for Bumble to head to the studio to lay down some licks or solos before the beast goes off for the mastering process...

Or if Bumble really nails his parts on the new material at one of these shows (as if he hasn't already ) Axl may choose to lift it and master it in the studio later for inclusion on the album.

Bumble already said he came in too late to lay anything down on Chinese Democracy which could be entirely correct, or just a cover to surprise us the day of release...

But never the less, if Bucket's parts do stay on the album, I think it is because, Bumble, and especially Axl are confident that he can replicate whatever Bucket has contributed to the album in a live setting, and that Bucket most definately forfeited his rights to his work recorded with Gn'R...

[dodger girl]

um no, I think they should keep Bucket parts.. after all he's been part of this project and deserves part of the credit

I say they keep Bumblefoot as a touring guitarist, there's nothing wrong with that

[nesquick]

Once you see the band Live, you just realize the biggest weapon of this band is called Richard Fortus. ?FACT.
Buckethead, Bumblefoot, whatever... really....THE BEST is just this crazy guy trashing his guitar onstage and playing with this bluesy-Rock feeling like if he was possessed by Ron Wood, Keith Richards and Jeff Beck!

PS: Bumblefoot is still 1 million times better than Bucketpoo though.

[AxlsMainMan]

Well, with the same logic, shouldn't Paul Huge's parts still remain on the album?

I mean afterall, Paul recorded parts for numerous songs while he was a part of the group.
