Bumblefoot talks about Barefoot, Chinese and DJ Ashba

[rabia]

wow! thank you for posting this really cool interview. we're having a Bumble extravaganza this week.

[angeles]

Ron: ".... DJ plays melodic parts, but also can play very fast. He is very talented guy ... " 

its really important what Ron thinks about the new member 

i love DJ !!!! 

[D]

Ive said it since it happened. From a "Commercial" stand point, DJ is a HUGE upgrade over Robin. I hope he collaborates on new material with Axl.

[Voodoochild]

Sure it is and you wouldn't miss the chance to bash Robin.

Anyways, I still find weird how those kind of tidbits about the album and the rehearsals doesn't seem to interest that much of people as the bash-fest threads.

You know people love talking about the negative stuff.  That's why those threads will go on for days on end.  When there's something positive to talk about those people are looking to find the negative.  They'll join in soon I'm sure.  Ron probably said something wrong in the interview and we'll find out what it was.

Great read.  I'd love to see what Axl, Ron, and DJ could come up with.  Of course adding the other guys to the mix as well would be nice.  Don't wanna forget them.  But since those 2 weren't around for the creation of the songs on CD, I guess Richard and Frank too, it'd be nice to see what they can bring to the table.  DJ's obviously had some success recently.

Thanks for posting, that was an interesting read.

Dj phenomenon starts now.

"you should have called this 'BBF interview still no tour info!' would go double platinum on the first day."

True on that.

Actually, I think there was a misunderstood. There was no mention in this interview about DJ and Ron writing some stuff with Axl - quite the opposite. The original poster made some confusion when writing and me and some others got the wrong impression.

Still, it would be cool to know what songs didn't make the final cut and if they'll ever be released.

[Wooody]

I think its funny how Bach saying Axl told him there was going to be 3 albums magically turned into just a rumor that got out of hand.

Really?  The part about DJ, Ron, and Axl working on new material was mistranslated?  Has it been corrected?  Looks like I have to go back and re-read.  Well I would love to hear what they could come up with, if they ever get around to it.

[Voodoochild]

Yeah, it was. It wasn't in the actual interview/article.

[ppbebe]

I believe the part about bran new material was just eye 2 eye, the kind soul trying to explain this bit.

Q: Or maybe it was your purpouse to show your bandmates your possibilities - "Look how cool I'm composing, maybe we will use in on the next record" ?
Ron : No, I didn't even think about it. If I take part in recording another Gn'R album I will compose anyway. But maybe if I work on another acoustic album I'd invite Axl to sing, if it makes you happy.

It's an English translation of a polish translation of an English interview after all. eye2eye did a good job.

anyhoo
I find it interesting that Ron considers those new, intense and weird stuff on cd industrial. I beg to differ. 

[BurningHills]

Awesome interview - thanks for sharing!

[jarmo]

Thanks for posting.



I wonder if anything was "lost in translation"...

English -> Polish -> English...

I?m positive that something was lost in translation 
I'm a translator, and something always gets lost, wether you like it or not...



Didn't someone mention  that bumble was going to talk about new songs written by Bumble, DJ and Axl?
Did I skip that in the interview, did I misunderstand or did it not get mentioned in the interview?

[ppbebe]

Nope but probably there will be such new songs in the future.

I eagerly look foward to that. 
It will be awesome.

Like I said before, the poster eye2eye on cd.com said something about this and we all thought the interview would have this kind of information. Turned out that it didn't, it was all a misunderstood.

Yeah, sorry.

But this morning I read it and saw that you explained it

thanks

the more i hear from bf the more i like him.

He seems to enjoy and appreciate being in gnr and is willing to make sacrifices in order to help gnr.

First he said he canceled a solo tour so he would be available 100% for gnr.

then he admits he didn't want any copies of the music prior to CD release in order to be crystal clear regarding leaks.

these are signs of true devotion!
