Well, no, because it implies Buckethead's parts are staying. Which is actually quite important.
Yeah they are staying for Better at least. We dont know what else Ron has recorded for.
But I do have to say, the song Chinese Democracy, rocks so much harder with Bumble's contributions to it. Hopefully he recorded for that song on the album. Check out the performance from LA on 12.20.06, its killer. its in the Appetite for Collection section.
agreed, he sounds awesome on chinese democracy in that performance.
