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

[Sillything]

Would be great to have Buckethead back! He's so cool

[mikegiuliana]

wow a replacement might be playing with replacement gnr

[nesquick]

Absolute bullshit

[badapple81]

Let's hope Mysteron can put an end to this rumor quick smart.

BH coming back for a one off would be pointless. Why remove a member of the band (U can argue he isn't a member etc etc) for one show then bring him back? I don't think Axl would do that to BBF.

As for 4 guitars, in a studio setting sure, but on a live setting in a performance which is aired around the world, no thanks.

BH does add that something different sure. But do we really need him? Has BH not being in the band impacted on the European Tour and it's success? The way one or two solos is played is a small part and almost irrelevant to the general vibe the crowd get in a live show. This current line up is really tight and the crowd and onlookers can see that. A guy from my work who is familiar with GN'R and saw them at the 2002 VMAs and saw a couple of boots, much preferred the tight feel which the 06 gigs really had. He has heard the solos on the demos and didn't care about how they were being played live. Fortunately, the return of Axl's strong vocals and the tightness of this line up seem to grab the attention now, rather than a KFC hat.

I'm pretty confident that this won't happen.  They probably won't even perform.  If they do perform, Ron will be there.   Hasn't Ron talked about being on the US leg of the tour.

Don't believe what the guy told to Mr Intensity. Don't loose your time.

Topic locked?

[TrueRock&Roll]

I'm not believeing it.  Not even going to get worked up over this.

It should be locked.. its pretty much bs. I'm not trying to diss Mr.I... I like the guy, but theres nothing but speculation here. Kinda reminds me of the "Reunion@ Download?!" rumors... and we know how that happened.

Like Axl would do some kinda crazy one off show.

[nesquick]

Nothing against Mr Intensity: it's just he was probably told BS. Axl is not THAT stupid, he knows buckethead was a huge, huge factor of the 2002 desaster. GN'R was mocked because of "Buckethead the nightmare" (words of Tommy). Do you really think Axl wants this fiasco to happen a second time?
if so, you dream. They don't want to fail a second time, they want to succeed.

Beeing successfull = no buckethead
beeing mocked a 2nd time = Buckethead

Do you really think Axl is that stupid to choose the 2nd solution??
Dudes, use your head!

I'm with you on this.  It would be crazy to do this buckethead thing. It's obvious that no one in the band likes the guy.   Long Live Bumblefoot!!

Even though I disagree with your views on Buckethead... I almost forgot how much the band apparently disliked him. Why would they want him back when they dissed him so much after 02?

[mikegiuliana]

Doesn't eevryone want just a set group if this is serious?? I mean do you want izzy part time, buckethead here n there 3 guitar players too... Look at cd and how many people have been somewhat apart of this group during it's creation... You have huge who probably did ten times more then fortus based on when those leaks were recorded... You have buckethead who isn't in the band anymore either.. is this just some fun jam session or something real.. it's like lets play afd plus some illusions add a song here n there and not release the only album they have been waiting on for ages already..

It should be one band that writes the songs, no constant changing members... Look how much new gnr has changed from 1998-2006

[TrueRock&Roll]

That's right.  Different members every few years isn't the best thing.   They have a great thing going with what they have now.  Why change it?

We already know you hate Buckethead more than the devil himself, and hate his playing even more. Since BH is showcased on the majority of the material we have heard so far, what in the fuck are you waiting for? It clearly isn't Chinese Democracy. AFD Vol.2 isn't coming out anytime soon, so I dont really understand your interest or curiousity in this project.

Funny how before GnR went on tour Mr.Intensity was usually starting rumours or hinting that he knew insiders, then once the tour started he went quiet and now since there is space for rumour he has spoke up again.

For the love of god will some of you get over Buckethead. Some of you say "get over Slash" well some of you need to "get over buckethead" he's out of the band and has been for two fucking years now. Ron is in like it or leave.

Also Axl is presenting one award, and from that some of you have went into conspiracy nuts, just see what happens which will probably be nothink, he'll be on the TV 2 minutes present the award then walk off.

Tommy Stinson (on Buckethead): "You know, he wears a bucket on his head. That?s all I can say about that. And there?s not a lot under it"

Buckethead beeing back would destroy the good chemistry that is in the band right now.
I can't imagine him to come back. Especially not after what Axl said in the press release.
Besides that it was obvious the at least Robin and Tommy didn't get along with him very well.
AND : It would be a kick in the face for Bumblefoot. To me GNT in 2006 includes Bumblefoot !!!!!

To get him back would suck balls in my opinion

[Meanmachine22]

i meant GNR and not GNT......

and..to get Buckethead back would suck balls...

i am a litle confused today 

Sorry
