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

[Mr.Intensity]

I'm getting sick of this bullshit. All these stupid ass rumours. If they bring Bucket back, I think that would be stupid. It will just add to the jokes about not being able to keep members. Dont get me wrong, Bucket is an awesome guitarist, but he doesnt fit the band's image. Its not like 2002 where the band was all dressing different, where Axl was in his jersey mode. Axl is dressing like a fucking rock star, Robin got rid of NIN look, and they look like a real band now. Bucket would just make them look ridiculous. I say keep Bucket's parts on the record, and keep Bumblefoot for the future.

Not only that, its clear that no one but Axl really liked Bucket as a person. You can defintely tell Tommy didnt like him, plus the rumours about Robin and him fighting all the time. It will spew up bad blood if Bucket's brought back in my opinion.

KEEP BUMBLEFOOT!!!!!!!!

You can take image and shove it up Axl's ass so it can make out with Slash... Buckethead fucking owns.

Well I'm not saying BH is definitely going to be there...he was scheduled to play in Mississippi on Thursday and that date got pushed to the 14th.

where are his August tour dates? Because I dont see them on his site

[Bandita]

Buckethead's tour date was MOVED FORWARD to September 14! He is NOT playing on Thursday in Mississippi!

That doesnt matter, gnr don't have a show until sat.......

Huh?

What I'm saying is that Buckethead is not playing somewhere else on Thursday. He was scheduled to play Mississippi on Thursday and the date was moved forward. If GN'R play at the VMAs, this means Buckethead's schedule would be free.

When are the Vma's I thought they were this week?

Thursday this week

Yup, I'll be watching for sure, being a gnr fan is always a fucking rollercoaster ride.

Now that I will agree with you on

Ditto.?

You have to admit after all of this, if Axl DOESN'T play we are all going to be incredibly disappointed.?

Of course, after all this hype I have to turn on a channel I never watch and pray it's gonna be worth my while as I sit through 3 hours of emo and pop torment.?

So they better do something good dammit!

Of course I work Thursday 4-midnight, the only day this week I work...figures...so I'll be missing the show.

They replay it 228929821 times you won't miss anything.

For the people saying its dumb to have BH play, first off its just for one show, and 2nd who is to say Ron wont be playing too? Also, if this rumor was bullshit, why would this person claim BH is playing, that would just make the rumor harder to believe. Also we all thought it was BS in 2002 before the VMAs and they played. I am not saying I believe this, but its possible. Anything is with Axl since he has always had an open slot for him at the VMAs when ever he wants.

Whether you want to believe it or not, image is a crucial part to the success of any artist.
Why do think Axl is pulling in so much pussy nowadays, and not in 2002?

[kaasupoltin]

I really hope this is fake, and I still believe so. And if it's true, I hope it will just be this one show with BH and then he's out again. I don't want him 

[WhatIsItMan]

Maybe Bucket will pull a Finck, and show up with long hair and a beard and stuff. ?Yeah... ?That would be cool!

Thats why its dumb, cause its only for one show. Then if Ron is there, thats 4 guitarists, its stupid. Might as well throw Izzy on there and make it 5.

Hate to tell you, but I don't think ANYONE in the band right now really likes Bumblefoot, either. Tommy is probably the closest to him. Robin very clearly dislikes him, and Axl is indifferent towards him much of the time. From seeing him during performances, and how he was on stage, and how he has treated his role in the band, and stuff he's said to people in messages, I've always had the feeling he didn't even consider himself a permanent part of the band. The only reason he's there is to replace Buckethead and to be honest although Axl had troubles with BH he really liked having him in the band and I don't think his image conflicts with them at all. Okay, he wears a bucket on his head. But it's something different. Ron has a bumblefoot guitar and a silly cap on his head all the time. He doesn't really look like a rock star IMO, either.

I like Ron as a person, he's nice and all, but I don't think he fits the image or sound of the band at all to be entirely blunt. I think he's more suited towards smaller-scale, solo-style projects - smaller groups or independent work. Buckethead, on the other hand, NEEDS someone to bounce ideas off of - he's like Slash that way. I think Axl and BH had chemistry working together as artists and you can hear that on the tracks. Bucket needs direction and Axl needs a strong guitarist.

Bucket's solo albums are mostly all rather poor (except Electric Tears and Colma) but you can hear Axl really had an influence on his guitar parts, and vice versa.

I understand, but buckethead's image isn't like some emo looking fag in the band, his image strikes conversation and is interesting. It's not all bad whether you like him or not. I personally just care about guitar playing and Buckethead is one of the best out there today.

[Bandita]

Certainly would be more appreciated than the Bucket and the mask.

They are going to do a GNR retrospective (past and present) I tell you and drag every person that has ever contributed to this band onto the stage and it will be a mob scene

I'm kidding but could you imagine?

Unless the song calls for 4 guitar players. Some of the UYI songs had 4 gutiars and they never sounded right live.

[younggunner]

first off its just for one show

which would make this whole thing stupid

and 2nd who is to say Ron wont be playing too

even worse...might as well call out izzy too

why would this person claim BH is playing, that would just make the rumor harder to believe

any1 can make up anything. I could go to that or any site and play the " i dont know anything about gnr but i heard.."

Also we all thought it was BS in 2002 before the VMAs and they played. I am not saying I believe this, but its possible. Anything is with Axl since he has always had an open slot for him at the VMAs when ever he wants.

I dont think any1 is doubting that they can perform. But with Bucket and only once? Makes no sense to be a one off. If he was rejoing then i might believe it


btw some1 please explain this cancelled bheadtour date if its not even listed on his site

I agree with you on that. Bucket is phenominal. I dont know, I just dont think Tommy or Robin or anyone else but Brain would be too happy to have him back. And I'd rather have those guys, who stuck around through thick and thin be there, then Bucket, who just seems to want the attention and the glory.

[Mr.Intensity]

Flat out, Axl Rose and Buckethead have always had an artistical respect for one another. Those two also are kind of unique in their own way and probably connect on a personal level. I think Axl was pretty bummed out and estranged when Buckethead left in 2002.......

[DunkinDave]

If Axl wants to reintroduce the current lineup to millions of people, then having a guy who isn't even in the band perform live on television is pointless.

Why would someone who is a long-standing member on a NON-GN'R site whose family works for the VMAs/MTV go on a forum and tell a lie?

1) He has a reputation on the site
2) He has no reason to lie
3) He isn't a GN'R fan
4) If he lied he'd lose all respect

It doesn't add up.

[The New Fiona Apple]

4 guitar players? Is this Yes or Chicago or something? My god. Well if Bucket is wearing a Popeyes bucket now it's all good.

[Mr.Intensity]

Where is mysteron when you need him? 

[Bandita]

We haven't taken into account here that Dizzy DOES have a gig on the date of the VMAs. ?What about him? ?Is he just NOT going to be included in this maylay? ?That is why I just can't buy this, until I am proven wrong by what I see on Thursday.
