How many guitarists are gonna be on Chinese Democracy

[KIKO2K6]

Sorry if this is dead horse but exactly how many guitarists are gonna be on this fucking thing?

Robin Finck? - current member known to have done studio work
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

with that many.... 3 guitarists suddenly doesn't seem like too much now does it

Bumblefoot is out he said he join too late.
Buckethead BBF is ou Bucket is in....he puts the album in another level.
Oh my god will not be on Chinese Democracy soGary Sunshineand Dave Navarro are out.
 Izzy Stradlin out he has nothing to do with Chinese Democracy.
Chris Pitman he is out..never heard that he can play guitar,for sure he can't play in the same level as the others guys.
Brian MayAxl said he still on the demo but he don't know if Brain will be on the final cut.
Paul Tobias i think it was Paul on the demos and i belive he wrote and helped AXl to make Chinese.
So Robin Finck,Bucket Head,Fortus,Paul Huge and AXl....5 guitarists to make the monstrosity.

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

But obviously they haven't, since they hired another "virtuoso" type player to take his place for the live shows, and the Buckethead solos on TWAT, IRS, and Better were all there and played by Ron when they were performed live

[Neemo]

yeah the small part Axl played on Maddy in RIR3 makes me think he'll do some stuff too but maybe just a song or 2

[pasnow]

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

Dizzy said that Buckethead's parts will remain on the album,

Don't believe everything you read!! Muahhahahahaha!!! ?

Seriously though, I don't believe nothing until I see it. That's just me.

[polluxlm]

Buckethead might not be on the album, but his melodies better be.

[The General]

Fortus (credit 13 songs), Finck (credit 12 songs), Bucket (credit 4 songs), May (credit 1 song). Thats it.

You got to be pretty drunk to belive slash have done or would be on the album.

CD in my hands in November, waited 14 years. Got to cellebrate with a new stereo and bottle of vodka.

You sure the vodka ain't already done for? How is anybody supposed to know the things you claim.

[The General]

Claim? everybody here claim things... Belive what you want.

Iam sure about the vodka. Pilsner Urquell tonight.

IF Richard and/or Robin re-recorded Buckethead's parts (even some of his parts), they wouldn't say it. They would deny. remember when "IRS" was leaked in 2003 (Thrunk), Fortus said He never heard about that song (of course he did in fact!). he said something like "No, no, that song doesn't exist". He was lying intentionaly, to shut down the rumour. That's it. It might be the same for the Buckethead's parts, they might say "no, no i didn't re-record anything" to avoid the rumour to spread all over the Internet. But NOBODY knows what happened between 2004 (BH depearture) and mid-2006 (Start of the Tour).
Many things might have happened. We don't know.

for once nesquick i'm in agreeance with ya...bbf was rumored shortly after BH's departure so untill i read it in the liners i'm not believing what he says about his involvement on the album no offense to Ron of course but he may have been in the band since 2004

dude BG spent ?4 years in GNR
he is not that Chris Vrenna that hang out with the band 2 weeks..
he completely change musically GNR.. he take it to another level.. a level that you dont like, but that doesnt make it bad...

[nesquick]

Neemo, IF someone re-recorded the BH's parts, it would be either Richard Fortus, or Robin Finck. Not BBF.

Yeah sure we know nothing about the album we can just have ideias..
About the vodka GreyGoose,Stolichnaya or Absolut Vanila HuH ?!

If someone can re recorded BH parts it would be BBF IMO.
Fortus can play fast but not fast as Bucket...

[Bad Cover Version]

Are you sure about that?

[Neemo]

Neemo, IF someone re-recorded the BH's parts, it would be either Richard Fortus, or Robin Finck. Not BBF.

well we can still disagree on that point (KIKO knows where I'm coming from) but i DO agree that sufficient time has passed for BH to be removed...but has he been? we'll have to wait and see.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

If Buckethead's parts had been removed or re-recorded, they wouldn't have hired Ron, simple as that.  They'd have either Finck or Fortus play the re-recorded parts.  They wouldn't have Ron playing the Buckethead solos live if Richard or Robin had re-recorded his parts on the album, that doesn't make sense

[AxlReznor]

Well, according to people promoting Paul Tobias' band - Mank Rage - Paul is still a studio member.  They didn't elaborate if he was just helping out with mixing, or engineering or something or whether he was still recording parts for the album... but they made it clear, Paul is still working with Axl.

[the dirt]

Pretty much why Paul is not in the band is because he doesn't enjoy touring.

And he saved GNR. It would not exist without him. Hail him.
