Who is your Chinese Democracy MVP?

[Mobenrad]

Buckethead.  He really really impressed me on this album.  Bucket's work and the drumming made this a monumental album.  That's not taking into account the writing of the songs, just the performance

Any Buckethead album will impress anyone.

Buckethead: although I don't consider this to be his best work... I actually prefer some of his solo albums (like Giant Robot) to Chinese Democracy.
I hope his stuff will still be used on the two upcoming albums.

Elephant Man's Alarm Clock. 'Nuff said.

[benchiefjr]

Electric Tears is Buckethead's best solo album, hands down.

Finck/Buckethead co-MVPs

[younggunner]

Tough call

For the album Id go with Axl for the gold, bucket and robin for the silver, and pitman for the bronze

The bands MVP is Tommy and Pitman. Tommy has held down the fort all of these years and has been loyal to the band even though he almost drifted.

How can Ron be an MVP over anyone accept Frank? He didnt write one note for the album!

[Butch Français]

Buckethead & Brain!
too close to call.

[BangoSkank]

Electric Tears is Buckethead's best solo album, hands down.

I dunno dude, that's a tough call, esp. with Colma.

But without a doubt, Bucket gets my MVP award.  He just fucking rips it in so many tracks (mainly Better and TWAT).

[ppbebe]

brain and chris.

[KeVoRkIaN]

Hands down - Buckethead

[prairie]

I can't believe I'm saying this, Buckethead for his "Sorry" solo.

prairieboy,

Great call! Not my absolute favourite, but the four part beast that is Lurker at the Threshold alone propels it pretty high. I'd currently rate it around my third or fourth favourite album of his.

As a massive fan of the Bucket, he has to get my vote. I couldn't believe my luck when I heard that so much of his stuff had been left on the album. I'd be almost as excited to see Bucket and Axl on stage together again as I would be to see Gilmour and Waters !!

... Well. That may be hyperbolic. But you get my point.

Completely agree.  I'd love it so much if he was a fucking special guest or something on the next tour, even if he just came out for Riad.

[Jay Tea]

toss up. Finck or Brain.

because they have the most playing time on the record. Even though Brain got erased from track 1.

[CaughtMeInaComa]

Buckethead, I don't like the Bucket on his head, but his guitar work speaks for itself. He gave CD it's edge.

[elmir]

Axl Rose....he's the one who gives this album its edge...

[jarmo]

Without Axl this album wouldn't exist.


But since this is about the people other than Axl....

I can't say.

The way I see it, is that it's a team effort and without even one team member, it wouldn't be the same album.

picking a non-axl mvp from chinese democracy is like picking the best brick in a building.  sure, they all contribute to the big picture, but really it's about the architect's vision, passion and genius.  any brick can work perfectly fine as long as the architect knows how to be brilliant and amazing.

Sure its a team effort, but just like team sports, an MVP is named eventhough the entire team is involved. I gotta say Chris and the Bucket for co-mvp, with honor mention to robin (if not tri-mvp!)

it's funny/ironic how you disagree with the "team effort" MVP concept then proceed to pick a Tri-MVP. 
If Axl wasn't a gimme, would you have picked a quadruple-MVP?   


MVP (IMO):  Pitman
