is bucketheads solo gone from madagascar??

[guns_n_motley]

when I listen to the new bootlegs of this new tour it sounds like its gone.. maybe its just the mix and its low down

[Saul]

gone. IMHO just like everything else he recorded for the band.

buckethead stops now!

[EFISH]

I beleive Richard has a similiar solo during the quotes.

Unfortanatly, they didnt play Maddy at the shows I was at! 

You can see on the inland invasion video, richard does a very good job.

I uploaded the video to GunnersTube: http://www.gunnerstube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=885e0d7c260cc007e8b9

Well, he is out of the band......

Hope it stays on the record though.

I'm happy with Ron re-recording all of Bucket's parts, no doubt. Well, there is the TWAT-solo... Might leave that one untouched.

[gandra]

i think one of reasons of delaying album is that

"Axl won't buckethead parts on new album"

but to be a real,he did a very good job in madagascar

You can't put quotation marks round something that isn't a quote you know 

Who supposedly said that?

You mean Robin's TWAT solo?

[killingvector]

I believe they reverted many of the Buckethead parts to pre-Bucket recordings.

I hope everything by Bucket stays.

I'd like SOME of Bucket's work to stay. He can be credited as an additional musician. Let's say if Ron or someone came up with something that fit better, or who knows how much these songs have changed since Bucket -- then I wouldn't want his work kept for the sake of keeping it in. Buckethead is a supremely talented guitarist, and while he may not be everyone's vision of a GN'R guitarist, it would be a nice touch having him on the record. That said, Robin is the more appropriate guitarist and IMO should have remained the only lead guitarist. I like Bumblefoot a lot though.

Yes, it is gone from the live version and has now been replaced by Richard Fortus who doesn't do a bad job but it isn't a patch on the original in all honesty. As for the album version only Axl knows the answer to that i'm afraid.

I have said many times before, I hope all of Bucketheads work stays on Chinese Democracy, infact i'm gonna be the one to come out and say that he is IN MY OPINION a better player than all the current GNR guitarists, I think Axl also believes this, we have heard from insiders how they were trying to get him back right up to the last minute.

That's not to put down Robin, Rich or Ron in any way, I think they are all amazing players too, it's just Bucket's style was so unique and I believe it is very hard to replicate (Ron proved this with his take on the TWAT solo and Rich with his Maddy solo). So why remove this excellent unique work? It's like cutting your nose off to spite your face almost. Whatever happens will happen though and I expect I may get called a Ron hater or BH groupie after this post but I assure you this is not the case. This is just my honest opinion, I was one who managed to look past the silly mask and weird antics of BH and was truly touched by the beautiful music that came from his fingers.

Robin's solo is fantastic, but I am talking about Buckethead's solo towards the end.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I hope they keep at least some of Buckets stuff. The guy is weird, but he has killer solos.

[Saboteur]

I hope the buckethead solo will be on CD, if not

....if not we can always use the RIO version to make a fan master.

[benchiefjr]

uh, I can't tell the difference between Buckethead's solo and Fortus' solo in this song....or at least it isn't bad.
