Goodbye Ron (???)

[TheBaconman]

I would suck trust me....   

But I could give the finger to the camera every time its on me.  When I cant get all the solos perfect I may look for help.  I do have around 14 songs I want Axl to listen too...  And I love driving around handing out childrens meals to homeless people

"During a press event he hosted on December 12, 2014, guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal announced that he would be leaving the band to focus on his solo career. Bumblefoot also updated his social media to reflect his exit from the band. The band has yet to make a statement on Thal's departure, however."

Goodbye to Ronmance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell ya
Goodbye to all the past GNR guitarists
I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end

[fozzie10]

So has he finally left then?

In the end if he has (or hasnt) it got a little tiresome

Nothing confirmed.

Probably won't know until literally the day of the next GNR concert.

[JAEBALL]

Obviously this doesn't confirm anything... but obviously there is no mention of extensive GNR touring that Dj as stated

What can the fans expect for 2015? Are there any major projects that you are working on for that year?
Well, if I stick to the deadlines, my new album will be released on February 24th. I don?t even have a name for the new album yet. The mixes are almost done. There?s also a band that I produced, as a recording project, that?s turning into something more which is going to have a release next year. It?s called Art of Anarchy. That should be pretty interesting. We shot some videos for it. It?s going to be an interesting year, 2015, between Bumblefoot and Art of Anarchy and whatever else. I have some mini-tours coming up in February and March. I have some Thailand and UK shows. I have something at a guitar festival in France also. I?m also doing a rock school in the island of Corfu in Greece in August. People can come down to Corfu so I can torture them musically for a week! So we can work on music during the day, chill on the beaches in the afternoon, and then go to different pubs at night and jam. It?s going to be a busy year!

But, he didn't say definitively he's out of of the band.  In fact, he said "and whatever else" which obviously includes Guns.

I'm still not convinced (sarcasm intended). 

[The Wight Gunner]

As BBF has posted here before, I'd think he.d do so again even if it it was to say gooodbye. He's a class act and always puts the fans first in regards to doing the right thing, so until this happens I'll call it as BS.

Fake

 

[JAEBALL]

yeah usually people clean up the false info if that person or entity has a large following

We can all connect the dots, It's been speculated to death. If he was definitely still in the fold... we would have been told by now ... I believe.

[D-GenerationX]

He gone, yo.  In the wind.

[Sosso]

Very sad story. BF makes music because of the passion and not because of the money.

Haha i am sure he likes money just fine as well

Wikipedia is just about the most unreliable source of information that one can imagine. Any lunatic can post any info. The "pedia" is neither monitored nor checked for accuracy.

[westcoast_junkie]

True. Students don't use wikipedia as a source. Not reliable enough.
