New interview with Ron

[TheRaven]

WickedInfo.com just added a new interview with Ron Thal. The interview was conducted a couple days prior to the Rock 'N Rev festival, but was just put online today. You can read it at http://www.wickedinfo.com/interviews/interview-%233-with-guns-n%27-roses-guitarist-ron-%22bumblefoot%22-thal/.

As an FYI, we're also giving away a copy of his debut re-release if anyone is interested in entering to win through the monthly contest.

I really like these Ron interviews. I also especially like his idea about providing "happy endings" with expensive concert tickets.

Hey Raven, nice interview.

[Ignacio]

Thanks for posting the link Raven!

Really cool interview. I wish they could work out some of those issues about writing new songs...

Good to know that he and Robin were in good terms after all the things.

Really good interview, Ron talks about a lot of aspects of being in the band. 

WI: Are there plans already in the works for the next Guns N' Roses album?

RT: Right now the only thing we've got going on is looking at touring. There's nothing to be said yet about anything beyond that. I know it sounds cryptic and like I'm holding back or something. It's no secret that there's other music from the Chinese Democracy days, it's just a question of what's going to happen with them. I guess that's up to Axl and what he wants to do with them.

WI: Is the plan currently to tour through 2011?

RT: Hopefully, hopefully we'll keep it going. At this point, shit man, I want to make some fucking music. I'm itchin'. I need to make something that comes from this band, in this decade. I've been telling them for a long time that before every leg of the tour I would love to just go into the studio for a week together and just bust out a song and give it to radio stations, make it available for downloads, and play it live. After a couple of legs we'd have a good batch of music of our own.

WI: Is that something that has happened at all as far as you guys working on your own music, or is it still all from the Chinese Democracy days?

RT: We all can write, but we haven't done that yet.

Thanks Leddy and hey Cin. Ron is a great guy and it's always fun interviewing him. He gives great answers and is very open.

man i feel Rons starting to get a little "frustrated " with some things!!

He does have a point and good ideas with hitting the studio on each leg of the tour bang out a song or two and by the end you have a pretty good jump on  a new album !
