Daily Music Guide Posts New Interview with Bumblefoot

[BumbleBuzz]

Done as a preview ahead of the UK dates, this is a new interview with Bumblefoot, talking about (among other things) playing a little 'Estranged' and stories from his London concert experiences in 2006. It's actually a pretty good read

Thanks for posting it's a good interview.  I thought this answer was interesting:

So, no longer the "new boy" ? that honour falls to DJ Ashba. How has he been fitting into the group and what's it like playing alongside him?

Holy fuck, I'm not the 'NEW GUY' anymore! Yeah, it's been great touring with DJ - we've had some fun times. We had most of 2009 to coordinate our guitar parts, our gear, to get everything ready to go. Very different from my 'new guy' experience, which was to hop in at the last minute before touring with no time to work out gear, to get to know each other, to work together on anything, to learn the new songs...shit, I had to learn the Chinese Democracy songs note-for-note by listening with headphones on a laptop for a half hour at a rehearsal studio while the band waited in the next room, without ever getting a copy of the songs to really learn them. I'm happy it didn't happen like that for DJ - he was welcomed in, we had time to work together, and he was given the opportunity to rise to the occasion, and he definitely did.

Pink Panther theme as my solo and sneak a piece of Estranged in there, too.

Never noticed, but yeah. Listen! 1.40 and out. That whole solo just SO rocks.

Thanks for posting.
