Richard Fortus - current member known to have done studio work
Buckethead - According to Dizzy and Tommy he is still on the album
Paul Tobias - Apparently a studio musician
Bumblefoot - Even with all the denials the question still pops up
Axl Rose - Rumors years ago of him learning guitar to play rhythm, he actually plays on Madagascar in RIR3
Gary Sunshine - Appears on Oh My God
Dave Navarro - Appears on Oh My God
Chris Pitman - Current Member who apparently dabbles in guitar too
Brian May - generally accepted to be on Catcher In The Rye
Izzy Stradlin - Rumors have been flying since he played @ Hammerstein

didn't Slash do some stuff early on in the project, before CD was called CD (2000 Intentions or something). Wouldn't that be a turn up for the book, if Slash appears on one of the tracks ?

[Dont Try Me]

As long as the songs are good, who cares. But I would love to hear more Robin Finck stuff!

Izzy Stradlin - Rumors have been flying since he played @ Hammerstein

shut up, no. ur talking about the lost album or something.


slash on CD?! OH here come some more rumors. 

[WhatIsItMan]

Dizzy plays guitar too, doesn't he? ?heh

Oh, and don't forget about Tommy.

[codenameninja]

I don't think Bumblefoot will be on CD, well not on disc 1. Bumblefoot could appear on CD2/disc2 or CD3/disc3 ?

[pasnow]

Good question, IMHO I think just Finck & Fortus. I don't think BH will be on it, but will be credited or thanked in some way in the album credits. ?Not sure about BBF, me guesses no.

There.? The top 3 and that's it. Only possibility of others is a slight guest spot on one song from either Brian May or Paul Tobias. The rest are pretty nonsence imo

[codenameninja]

As long as the songs are good, who cares. But I would love to hear more Robin Finck stuff!?

Remember the Robin Buckethead solo they performed at RIR. It was slow n'cool. It would make for good filler material on any singles that get released. Doubt they ever recorded a studio version though ?

"Official" guitar players
Robin Finck (Lead and Rythm guitar)
Richard Fortus (Lead and Rythm guitar)

[codenameninja]

Buckethead, Brian May (?).

I'm expecting Buckethead to be on all the tracks 

[nesquick]

I don't. He is said to be just an "additional" player.?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

No more than 4.  Finck, Fortus, Buckethead, and possibly Brian May.  Izzy won't be on the album, similar to Ron who said that he came along too late to make the album

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I don't. He is said to be just an "additional" player. 

The other band members have said that Bucket's stuff will remain on the album.  He might well be listed as an additional player because he quit the band before the album was complete, but he'll be appearing on most if not all the songs on the album

[pasnow]

Buckethead's been out of the band for 2 years now, hasn't he? ?Plenty of time to redo the songs/solos.


Anyway, it's just my guess he's not on it.

[Neemo]

yeah i'm thinking there will be 4 with a guest appearance by Brian May (If CITR is even gonna be on there)

Paul, Robin, Richard and BH...and OMG will prolly not be on it (I doubt they would re-record an officially released track)

but pretty fucked up that so many possible players may be on there in a guitarists role

Pasnow bith DIzzy and Tommy have confirmed he'll be on there in separate interviews last year

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Good question, IMHO I think just Finck & Fortus. I don't think BH will be on it, but will be credited or thanked in some way in the album credits.  Not sure about BBF, me guesses no.

Dizzy said that Buckethead's parts will remain on the album, and if they weren't going to be there then the band wouldn't have hired Ron to play the live shows with them.  But the Buckethead solos on Better, IRS and TWAT were still there when they played them live.  IRS and TWAT existed before Buckethead even joined the band, so there's a good chance that there were some songs recorded from 2000 to 2004 where Buckethead plays both the lead and the solos that we haven't heard yet

[nesquick]

Buckethead's been out of the band for 2 years now, hasn't he? ?Plenty of time to redo the songs/solos.

That's what I think too. He reminds me Chris Verna on drums. Just someone who came and left, and that's it (parts re-recorded)
His parts may have been re-recorded....or not. I don't know. and i don't care. He is not be the guy I will care about when ChiDem is out.
Anyway, I'm impatient to hear the record
