Annoying thing about Bumblefoot

[Mattattack]

Why can't people STFU about slash, he isn't in this band damnit. Neither is Buckethead. ?

Would you ask a Beatles forum to not talk about John Lennon, a Kiss forum not to talk about Ace Frehley. Just because he isn't in the band anymore doesn't mean nothink (in certain topics) Don't be ignorant and ignore the history of a band your a fan of.

Excellent point! People have a right to miss Slash and Bucket. They play on studio recordings that we all know and love. Bumble has no part in the creation of CD. Who knows if he will fit in with GnR creativity wise and record with them on future albums. The guy is just a touring guitarist that doesn't measure up to Bucket, in my opinion. I hate how people on these forums tell you you're not a fan if you don't like or agree with everything the band or Axl does. Some people on here need to start thinking for themselves and break away from the groupthink that permeates here.

My opinion about the dont cry comparison..Its hard to compare a 30 sec slash and band clip with a new fresh almost 3 min guitar solo without the rest of the band..... slash isent in the band any more but he wont be forgotten..I actually like the new bumble solo because its new and different to hear just the guitar..I like it..

he wears spongebob shirts.  Thats not cool. Its stupid.

[Bravefish]

Judging a person on the t-shirts they wear is stupid...keep it real

Slash wore some 'childish' tees Sylvester the cat if i remeber correctly that doesn't take away from his genius

Agreed - We can't judge BBF til he records (if he does) just think that he has more firepower and use than what Axl has given him now!!!

bbf hasnt written one song for GnR. Slash wrote them all.  comparing them is stupid.  bbf will be gone next year or this year anyway so it doesnt realy matter. the guitar players for gnr come and go but still slashes name always is at the top. oh well.

Of course! But, as far as I know, there's another sections here for ex-members.

Also, its very odd to bring back the "I miss Slash" topic in every single thread. Why is so hard to discuss about the new band or one of its members without having to hijacking it to the dead horse?

[Bravefish]

^ Excellent post - this aint a slash vs BBF thread, just ur view of how he is used in the band!!

If you dont think rock is at all about image Bravefish youre clueless.  When it comes to succesful rock groups image is probably about 50% of what sells whether you like it or not.  You always bring up Satriani and Yngwie and dudes like that, wanna know the reason why they dont sell multi platinum albums, its because they dont join bands with great images.  Personally, I dont give a damn about image except that if GNR's image is not right they wont sell many albums, low album sales will be detrimental to any future.  THe masses buy albums usually for vicarious reasons.  Its stupid, but its the truth.  You can argue all you want, but Harvard just released a study on this last year.  So while I hope the music maintains its quality, I also hope that there is an abundant supply of concerts and cd's.  BBF does not have an image right for GNR, like it or not he will not help sell albums.  He's a douche, he is sober, wears spongebob t-shirts, plays a foot guitar, looks like mick foley, but talks like the dude from Hanson.  Yeah he may be the most gifted guitarist, but to put him in the spotlight would be financial suicide for Axl and the band.

ALso you keep saying Fink is a studio guitarist, clearly you never saw a NIN concert.  Fink is an amazing live guitarist who never played on a NIN cd.  Reznor who carries grudges like no other will even still admit that Fink is an amazingly passionate live guitarist. 

BBF may not even be in the band who knows.  The fact is, yes he is a better guitarist than I am and he is a better shredder than slash, but I think it was Slash who said that, (this is a paraphrase, "GnR will never be as talented as a band like Rush, but we hope to have more heart."  I dont see BBF having the right soul for GNR,  I didnt think Buckethead did either, but BH had a good stage presense and was fun.  The fact is GNR appealed to people because they were ," dangerous" and people loved to conciously or subconciously live vicariously through that dangerous asshole element.  BBF does not offer that, FInk definitely does and thats why I feel Fink deserves the solo's even if they are not perfect.

I must admit that I have a hang-up about the image thing, too.  That's why I never cared for Buckethead.     I don't see anything wrong with BBF's image.  I think his image is a better fit.  Just my opinion, of course. 

I don't see the big deal about wearing a Sponge Bob t-shirt.  I like Sponge Bob.  I don't have kids and I've watched it a few times.  The few shows that I've seen were pretty funny.   

[supaplex]

i'm sick of people judging the new players by their looks. and i'm sick of reading axlrose4eva and estranged2006's posts that anly say one thing: we want slash back. newsflash - slash quit! 10 years ago! get over it or go to the velvet revolver part of the board.
ron has a very good stage presence and he's an awesome player. i bet you didn't see any of the shows in the tour.
and people bitching about buckethead, he's a tour guitarist too. you don't have any proof of what he recorded with the band. until cd is out and bucket is credited the shredding from the solos in the demos cpuld be from anyone. and ron looks stupid but a guy with a kfc bucket and a mask is cool? (not trying to say bucket was lame but th comparison makes me laugh).
and saying that bumble doesn't have a right image for guns because he is sober  maybe he could be drunk at every show, not speak to the fans and keep everything to himself, act like a star and just pass by when people say hello, cheat on his wife that's rock and roll man, i'm going to gnr shows because they have a guitar player that bangs groupies and passes out on stage. fuck the music, i wanna see drunk people on stage!

he wears spongebob shirts.? Thats not cool. Its stupid.

This is the funniest post in the thread. I'm waiting for him to spit an apple in someones face ?

Sponge Bob rules!! And you know it!!!



Hiiiiiiiiiii Garyyyyyyy

nov rain second solo Finck misses a note and there is like a 1-2 second silence on a pre-bend. Blues Finck slides to the wrong note, I dont have the mp3's but the mistakes are well reported!!!

Fish

thats not a mistake, thats obviously the way finck intends to play the solo.  you don' t expect him to play the original note for note do you?  He's twice the performer as the guy her replaced anyways.   He owns the SCOM solo, he's the best part about that song when this band plays.   

[Jim Bob]

I can't believe this is still going on! People, Slash is not in the band. If that ruins it for you, then stop paying attention - it's quite simple. Actually, if you haven't heard, Slash is in another band called Velvet Revolver. Like many famous bands, they also have web sites dedicated to them, and I'm sure that everyone there would agree with you that Slash is the best guitar player who ever lived because he wears the guitar low, and never looks like he has stepped in gum.

Since when are music fans so image conscious? He wears the guitar too high, he moves like he stepped in gum, he's fat...man, you people are superficial. I've met teenage girls with more mature taste.

i gotta say man, this is one of the more intelligent posts I've read on this board in a long time.   good stuff. 

Bumblefoot rocks

haha its true! i dont know why he would wear that kids shirts. thats for kids. not guitar players for Guns n Roses! Its rediculos loooking.  I also didnt like that stupid foot guiter. im glad that thing is broken. I hope Axl dont pay him any money to get it fixed! hehehehe  if i saw it i would let it meet my foot when i stomp on it into the ground! stupid foot guitars. 
at least axl got the sense to let him use the les paul! everyone knows that guns n roses guitarist use a les paul. not a stupid foot or a buckethead.

[Voodoochild]

I didn't find Tokyo '92 pics, but there Slash was wearing a shirt with a Looney Toon's carachter.

Edited: found a video on youtube with this shirt:

I watched the slash solo and bumblefoot

well not even close slash's kills his , I miss slash

[Bravefish]

Yeah that's the one I meant Voodoo...

I want to stay off Finck cause this is a BBF topic but what the hell is the nonsense of 'Finck intends to play how he does' no offence but there is a fine line between someone like SRV or Gary Moore who play accidental (or wrong notes) as part of a lick and Finck who holds or over bends which just sounds wrong.
