New Bumblefoot Q&A (Part I)

[dimitrisaxl]

Interesting interview! Thank you.

[grog mug]

He sounds depressed.  I wish GN'R would do something....

[ppbebe]

he doesn't. what part of the interview gives you that impression?

[LunsJail]

very good job on the interview.   it was cool of him to mention the video interviews that never came to pass.

"Hey guys, here's one more thing that never happened"

That's cool?

Yeah, you're right. It's far better not to say anything and let you complain about it not happening.

Oh wait.... That's not good either!

How could anyone have complained if they never knew it was going to happen? I'm not saying Bumble shouldn't have mentioned it, that's fine. I just don't get that excited like some people do about intentions that never turned into actions.

[axljungle]

Good Interview!! 
Ron is a cool guy and like his jokes.

"Thanks for the questions. And if ya say 'great, another interview where a bandmember tells us nothing' I'm gonna reach through the computer and punch you in the balls.

Ron" 

 

I like a lot the questions, great interview.

No problem whatsoever. I'm glad to share. And yeah, I do think it was cool of Ron to offer an explanation on certain things. Talk about "not owing" and still coming through!

Glad everyone enjoyed. Kudos to Neemo for getting it arranged and handled!

I'm not getting "excited", I just thought it was cool of him to acknowledge it.

Ron

Awesome!!   

Bumblefoot is phenomenal, damn how I love this guy! 

he's clearly not very confortable with the type of interaction GNR has with its fanbase, but he still manages to make interviews interesting.

bumble +7 

Agreed he is a great guy to be around and you can tell that from just watching or listening to 5 seconds of him talking he is a great guy and great on guitar hope he dose something with Bucket Head though that album would be epic just thinking about it makes me   

[gunner22]

Bumblefoot is awesome. Cool interview. 

[RebelRose89]

thanks 4 the interview - obviously i hope the 'pieces fall into place' sooner rather than later

[AxlReznor]

he doesn't. what part of the interview gives you that impression?

Depressed isn't the word I'd used, but he does appear to be just as frustrated as us about the way things have been going (or rather, they way they haven't).  There seems to be a sense of "I did my bit to promote the record... where the hell was everyone else?" vibe.

It was a great interview, and I'm glad that Ron takes the time to do so many of these, whilst offering as much insight as he possibly can into the inner workings of the band, and what's been going on.

Why this interview (and similars in the past) isn't be uploaded on the official site of the band?

[Jdog0830]

Why this interview (and similars in the past) isn't be uploaded on the official site of the band?

That is a great question I would like to know to but I don't think we will get our answer here

ps: mine was the 900th read

[GypsySoul]

Why this interview (and similars in the past) isn't be uploaded on the official site of the band?

Only a guess but probably because this interview was conducted by a fan site (as opposed to it being conducted by a "professional" establishment like billboard or rollingstone or whatever .........


...... that and, if the official site were to upload every time Ron talked 'publicly' to someone, the site would probably overload to the point that it would explode and cause a chain reaction of overloading/exploding every site across the entire world wide web, causing complete kayos to satellite communications across the universe (to include the rover on Mars and the Hubble telescope) which would then cause an errant signal to all the nuclear reactors and missile silos that would annihilate every form of life on the planet........


but like I said, only a guess on my part.

excellent interview! great job!

interesting to hear that he hasn't written any new songs with gnr

If interesting = sucks then yes I agree.

[russtcb]

That's a pretty big compliment to the interview itself and Ron's answers!

But as others have said, since it's not really a "professional interview" perse, I could see why it wouldn't end up on the official site.

[Smoking Guns]

I think those were some fantastic questions and some great answers by Ron.  He was really looking forward to a tour and seemed excited about the possibilities of playing with DJ Ashba!

Kind of funny how the fan interviews with Axl and Ron are way better than any professional interview

[Chief]

yeah D isn't that funny!

loved this interview, thanks for posting!
