RUMOR: Buckethead/Gnr to perform at Vma's...

[Mr.Intensity]

First of all, I post on a music forum every now and then on a website called www.facethejury.com, this forum isn't pro gnr and in fact gnr doesn't get brought up a lot there. Today someone posted this thread.......

This person isn't a guns n roses fan, although he has posted about Buckethead from time to time. I contacted him through personal im's on that site and the conversation went as followed....

Me: Where are you getting this Buckethead playing with Guns N Roses, as of now Bumblefoot is their 3rd touring guitarest and Buckethead isn't in the band. Where did you get this information.
Him: I have family that works for mtv, they know I like Buckethead, I have no clue who Bumblefoot is but all I know is this is a one off thing, Buckethead hasn't officially rejoined that band.
Me: Well what about Dizzy Reed, he has another show scheduled??
Him: Who the fuck is that?
Me: Keyboardist
Him: Well, I'd assume gnr is more important
Me: Do you know a song that they are going to play??
Him: I have no clue of any new songs, i just know their popular shit.
Me: Well I post on a gnr message board, people will lose their mind over this, how sure are you Buckethead is going to be there and perform?
Him: 98% sure, if it doesnt happen it will be on him, that guy is just as flaky as Axl Rose sometimes.
Me: So I assume gnr is a surprise and is going to close the show, so it can be cancelled if Buckethead doesnt show and nobody is let down.
Him: Dude, guns in roses is fucking playing the show, why the fuck do you keep asking so many questions.
Me: Well, i post on a very reliable board and this rumor seems like it has a very small chance of being true, I mean if you're not a gnr fan, why would your family members even mention gnr, how did this conversation come up?
Him: Dude, you are fucking wierd, watch the show, im logging off I got shit to do.

Take that for what it is worth, this dude has no reason to lie, it's not a gnr board, he isn't looking for attention.

time will tell.. i pray for it to be true...but i doubt it cause its too good to be true...plus why would they have Bucket play one time and then not tour etc..makes no sense

1st offcial vma rumor down...about 300 more to go....

[Stonerose]

I hope this isnt true

[WhatIsItMan]

So did he mean to call you weird or wired? ?heh

[leatherebel]

this is disturbing

[cotis]

looks like we'll find out thursday!!

[saint seiya]

man no fucking way.

[Mr.Intensity]

So did he mean to call you weird or wired?  heh

that's just a typo

[EccoTides]

Interesting, but I LOL at the guy's responses - There's nothing quite like dealing with a GNR fan on a quest for answers and information.   

[Mr.Intensity]

I wouldnt have posted it if it were on a gnr board.......

but it was just on a random board

there is no motivation for him to lie, no one paid that thread hardly any attention at all..

man, talk about BS....i guess when people are bored, they create ways to entertain themselves...

[WhatIsItMan]

Okay, why would Buckethead be there? ?I have a ticket for his 9/16 show in Chicago. ?Why wouldn't he be in Vegas that night?

[Bandita]

I don't believe this for one min. ?We don't need any more freakin guitarists in this band.

[Mr.Intensity]

man, talk about BS....i guess when people are bored, they create ways to entertain themselves...

Dude, it wasnt on a gnr forum, did you see how fucking wierd he thought I was with how I was reacting, he was more or less trying to talk about Buckethead.

[themovieaddict.com]

And yet none of you believed me?

I didn't even want to mention it at the time because I knew it would just COMPLETELY make people call me a liar, but I heard a rumor that Buckethead was actually in the process of re-joining the band, too. I wasn't sure, though, it wasn't really verified. Bumblefoot is NOT a permanent replacement, though.

[EFISH]

IF THIS ENDS UP BEING TRUE...

THURSDAY WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF MY FUCKING PATHETIC LIFE! GOD DAMN I AM SO EXCITED I WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY IF THIS HAPPENS

[WhatIsItMan]

I heard Slash was comin' back.

[Bandita]

Just what we need now, another band member shake up. ?I can't believe this, honestly.

[Bandita]

I heard Slash was comin' back.

Yea while we are at it why don't they just drag every other ex member of the band on stage as well.  There will be 25 people up there. 

[Mr.Intensity]

Just what we need now, another band member shake up.  I can't believe this, honestly.

It is in NO WAY verified, in fact I wouldnt mind if Mysteron came in here and shot it down. I just posted info I got from an unbiased source with no motivation to seek attention, I discussed this via im's with a long time board member, and he reccomended I post it here. I was just going to not post anything, but I have no reason to think some guy on some random board would just make shit up for no reason about Buckethead.
