Really interesting interview.

Nobody is asking the million dollar question!

Seems like he is asking us

''Ultimately the rest of the world will decide what I should do next, I?m listening to them.  Will see how each step goes  ''

Again

I am sure the majority of the rest of the world.  Doesn't even know who Ron is   98.6 percent of people asked don't know who he is.   Just read that some place

You just read somewhere that 98.6% of the human race don't know who Ron is..what article was this? Did someone actually speak to everyone alive at this present time- that is quite the researcher!

Ron has his Fans. A lot of which are GN'R fans you gimp. Stop trolling the guy!

Gimp?? Can we please NOT use a derogatory slang that is towards people with disabilities? Jarmo, this kinda stuff pi$$es me off. I hate PC, but I also hate this mindset.

Don't watch pulp fiction you'll be mortally offended.

Apologies to all. I just get a bit upset when I come to read/chat about my favorite band and people are doing nothing but bitch about them. Whether it be Ron, DJ or whoever.

It's a waste of time and energy.

I shall return to my box in my leather all in one until called for by Zed....

So i saw Bumblefoot play three gigs in Thailand,  i met him multiple times, i saw him soundcheck, i hung with him and his wife a couple times, he and his wife  even came to see me play at a bar!!

And to much my surprise i was asked play drums with the band for the encore of last gig!! the manager and bumblefoot asked me that during the encore, to come on stage behind the drums! the song was Sweet child of mine. I hope somebody caught a video of that. i was a stage hand for the last gig so i was already on the side of the stage.


All around great guy, really fun to spend time with him and his posse.

He played a new song called I dont know who to pray anymore. the song is amazing! it has some there was a time type solo stuff at the end. you should really check out that song when the album comes out.


He played a 1,5hour set. which included classic songs like, Honky Tonk Woman, Gimme all your lovin, Tush, two new songs, Little brother is watching, I dont know who to pray anymore. and Knocking on heavens door, Used to love her and Sweet child.

I said to him at one point that i hope when guns are touring again that he would be there. He lifted his arms in the air and said that let see how things works out.


the vibe i got was that they might really be in a negotiating point.  atleast, the way he responded wasent a negative ''i doubt it'' kind o thing. it was more like a, lets see what happens in the future. ill decide then.

[reayj2003]

He's always gone above and beyond to chat to me when I've seen him which is why I hate seeing all this negativity aimed his way. I look forward to seeing him in London soon.

Here's me playing Sweet Child on drums with Bumblefoot a week ago.

Notice the drums fills stolen straight from Josh Freese from the 1999 big daddy version

Ron has his Fans. A lot of which are GN'R fans you gimp. Stop trolling the guy!

How many of them did he have prior to 5/12/2006 though?

I'd say enough and the right ones to get the ear of Axl and management at the time. He was doing shows around here for quite some time, but I live in Brooklyn so I had known that.

That's cool!

I don't know who you play with regularly or anything, but that must have been kinda cool.

It was really great, made my year!
 as a massive GNR fan since im 5 years old, jamming with a recent member of GN'R means more to me, than jamming with any other musician could mean. dreams can come true.

First time for me playing with someone as talented as him and famous as well. Also my first time playing with a big festival stage set-up in front of a crowd like that, estimate was 2000-3000 people.

Ill start a topic in the nice boys section, with links to my bands soon, if someone is interested.(even if not)

[reayj2003]

So anyone listened to the new record yet?? How is it??

[jazjme]

I got it last night, listened thru a few times, there are some very cool tunes there, great soloing. Standouts I immediately clicked with .. Higher, Living the Life, Clots, title track, Don't Know who to Pray to Anymore.

[reayj2003]

Just had first listen and I'm very impressed. Argentina, Higher and clots stood out on first spin. The production is superb and whoever the drummer is nails it.

Guitar work is god like! Gotta say as GN'R members (past & present) solo stuff goes this one is looking like it's up there with the best.

Looking forward to really getting into the album.

[rebelhipi]

the drummer is Dennis Leeflang. he played drums for Normal and Abnormal too.


I will wait until the cd pops in my mail before listening to it.
