About the conversation that HollyWoodRose84 (real nice guy!), I want to make sure nothing gets lost in translation from a personal casual conversation to being quoted on the web for the world to read. The intention of what I was saying is that *hopefully* the album can be released close to schedule, I had mentioned the chain of events that albums go through - mixing, mastering, working out all the label bizz and promo... in my experience, everything usually takes longer than planned, but that's just my experience. Like I've told the 82,396 people who have asked me in the past 10 minutes about the album release, lol, only GnR management can legitimately inform y'all about that kind of stuff - I'm not involved in that end of bizz, I don't have the answers. Even if I did I wouldn't tell ya - it's not my place to be giving out news, that's what management's for, to let ya know wussup when they feel the time is right. Now, if I start doing management's job, Merck is gonna come out and play "Don't Cry" instead of me. Trust me, ya don't want me as the manager, and ya don't want Merck playing guitar. LOL.

Tonight's GnR show in Portland Maine has been canceled. Management will let ya know wussup. No worries, all is cool, all upcoming shows are on schedule, see ya soon in Worcester.

So last night in NJ we were in the hall about to walk onstage and were stopped - a bunch of gear suddenly died. Took a good minute to fix it. We were on the opposite side of stage waiting for the show to start, along with you. At the end of the night I switched to the fretless to play the Night Train end solo and my wireless died. All that gear was fine a few hours before at line check. Shit just happens - when it does, it sucks as much for the band as it does for you - we're on the same team and want the same thing - a great show. Maybe that's the heart of what was upsetting about the occasional negativity on some forums, when it feels like we're against each other instead of *with* each other. Love ya, appreciate ya, and am with ya.

Bumble is class act! I love how this guy just speaks the truth, he is  not bullshitter! Having Bumble in the band has been a breath of fresh air

[EFISH]

Very nice of him.

Agreed. Axl is lucky to have this guy as a bridge to the fans. He's one of the guys....

Glad to hear that about Worcester. Bumblefoot is a godsend for this band and community.

[WeHeldTogether]

Ron is one of the nicest musicians ever.

that's what i'm talkin' about...ron is so cool.  he's just the most down-to-earth dude.

[newgnr]

glad to hear this.  Not to optomistic about a release this year tho. "*hopefully* close to schedule" and "it usually takes longer than planned" are not too confident of statements regarding a release.


I'll still keep hope tho

I love da bumble one!

[Voodoochild]

Awesome, this guy must be the nicest human being on earth!

[oneway23]

*hopefully* for the album, eh?  Even still, bumble is such a class act.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Hes the best addition to GNR. A normal down to earth Jersey guy.

Bumblefoot is the best thing to happen to this band in a long time. Great guitarist, great guy and shows more appreciation for the fans than the management ever has.

Thanks Ron for the heads up! ?

Peace ?

[smishkey]

Why don't they put him in charge of PR?   He's quick and to the point!

Seeing this makes me wish that Ron was around in 2002 when they canceled that tour.  Maybe we would have gotten an answer out of the band instead of nothing.

They had a gag order on them, thanks to the mighty Clear Channel.

well that guy who had the conversation with him on mygnr.com.. said that Bumblefoot said that it still looks like its gonna be out in2006... he probably doesnt want what he said in that conversation to be all over the web... my guess, so hes playin abit coverup...

[RoCoKiN]
