i heart guitar: INTERVIEW: Bumblefoot

[HBK]

Ronald Is Music, Producer, Writing.... NOT Manager.

 

[ppbebe]

a minority of  fans being a pain in the ass when he's being honnest with them

they can't read but always twist GNR members/others comments to suit their book. 

[cineater]

Looks like the net has Ron on boil.  Fuel for a ballsy rock tune as Alice puts it.  Play it out Ron.

You know you can't have things like ballsy, being a man and big boy stuff being shouted out on a GNR sight without me getting trigger happy.  I've totally lost focus.

[Mal Brossard]

Economy?  Please.

The economy didn't affect Van Halen's recent tour.  AC/DC, The Eagles, no "economy" excuses there.  Aerosmith and ZZ Top were doing fine with their tour until Steven Tyler waltzed off the edge of a stage.

The economy is no excuse when other bands are touring just fine.

Did you read more than that?

I guess not....

From Ron, posted on his message board...

Regarding the end of the interview about GNR touring, it came off in the printed transcription to sound like I was citing the economy like some lame excuse...

<< it?s just that when it comes to battling the economy? there are so many variables that could make it not work. >>

I wasn't saying the sole reason GNR hadn't toured was due to the economy, or the economy only - folks gotta read the whole sentence, up to where it ends with a period. You know, the period. As in 'I'm complaining about Ron's interview because I have my period.'

There are "many variables that could make it not work". In other words, as I've been telling everyone for years, I don't give any specific info about GNR's business in my own personal interviews. Don't ask Azoff about my guitar parts, don't ask me about GNR's business.

I never said that he said the economy was the sole reason.  I'm saying it shouldn't be used as a reason at all.

[jarmo]

I never said that he said the economy was the sole reason.  I'm saying it shouldn't be used as a reason at all.

Why did you start talking about it then? Maybe you could list all the reasons you can come up with that shouldn't be used as reasons?

 


If you have 200 reasons for something and the economy is one of them, then it's a reason. Simple logic.



In this case, we don't know.

[Mal Brossard]

Bumblefoot brought it up as a reason, hence my comment that it's a total cop out to use it as a reason at all.

Go figure that jarmo is the one to take offense 

[jarmo]

Go figure that jarmo is the one to take offense 

Stupidity offends me.

[Mal Brossard]

And apologists offend me.  Your point?

[jarmo]

Apologist? You mean somebody who can read and understand what he said instead of twisting it to fit your agenda?


If I offend you, you're on the wrong fucking site.

My previous statement is still true. Stupidity offends me. 


Something could be one of many contributing factors, not even one of the major ones, but still one of them. A tiny one. It's still a reason!

It's not really up to you to decide that the reason isn't valid.....
