New Gn'R Guitarist Found?

[Doc Emmett Brown]

No Bumblefoot, Buckethead, Bumblehead, nor Bucketfoot, please.?

Bumblehead...? ?

I am reminded of that dude who put up a picure on ebay - the one which has a faceless guitar player of Guns N' Roses for you to insert your own photo.

I'll let Axl make my decision. He is the one who holds the cards who am I to say who I want in the band or not. I dont care if they have some dude wearing a pink tutu on stage as long as he can play is what matters. Axl knows what he is doing, and dong believe everything you see until you get an OFFICAL word from the big guy.

[Nytunz]

Damn! What a fooooooool! This is a fool that never will set his feet in GNR!

[Thorazine Shuffle]

This just in:

It is nothing but rumor, speculation, and the GNR camp has said nothing about replacing Buckethead.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled Thread.

Let's keep the new guitarist discussion in that thread, thanks.

Hey all, thanks so much for your thoughts on things.  I didn't wanna mention anything about the G-n-R thing, but I was getting too many emails about it lately and had to say sumthin about it.

I've spoken with Merck M. (manager) and Caram (studio engineer) over the past 2 months and they're very cool. They're not going to be telling me everything going on, as it's their thang, so I can only go by what they tell me. Wish I had something more definite to say. Sheeit, if it works out, great. If they decide they don't want me in the group, I'd respect their wishes because they know what's best for G-n-R, and would offer to help find them a new guitarist that fits what they're lookin' for. Nobody can replace the original band and I wouldn't dare try. Velvet Revolver kicks ass too btw. Let's just see what happens 

Would definitely be an honor  I'm not worried about them, I'm more worried that they'll be able to deal with me walkin' around with my pants down all the time.

I have a feeling that this is a joke on his site. Just based on that MP3 I can't see Axl asking him to join.

Just had the same feeling myself. But u never know.... He was a bit to polite in that not..

[younggunner]

the mp3 is not to be taking seriosuly. holy cow some of you peopel are too serious. Hes just messin around. He seems like a cool guy and would be the perfect guy to replace bucket, in terms of image and not being known that well....

I like how the gnr camp go after these underground guys rather than the big names......

I just realized he was on MTV "made". Its a show that help these teens achieve their goals. This one kid wnated to write a song and he was brought in to help him achive his goal. I remember him being a funny and interesting guy who could flat out play.....cool beans

[Continental Drift]

My guess is that we've got a Stevie Salas situation going on here. (Remember him? the dude Axl had in for a try-out when Robin Finck left to re-join NIN in 99-00, who then started posting stories all over his site about rehersals etc. only to get a "thanks for coming out" from Axl.). I don't think he's taking a piss like Ajax clearly was, but it sure sounds like he's running to the presses about his recent "contact" with GN'R way too early for his own good. Nobody in their right mind should be broadcasting that they're thinking about joining Guns N' Roses until they've spoken to and been approved by Axl Rose. That's just insane.

Velvet Revolver kicks ass too btw.

And...that's when bumblefoot definitely came out of the picture!

I agree with u on the last onethere... And i should not judge this guy before i knew more about him! But u really get frustrated in this Guns N`Roses world! People come, people go!

[blues rocker]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....not another fucking delay...I especially don't like the quote about him laying guitar tracks on the album....what the fuck? I thought this peice of shit was supposed to be done and ready for mastering.  Leave it to Axl to find a way to delay this thing even more...Why do they need this douche to record tracks?  they can't possibly have MORE work to do on the fucking thing!!! FUCK!!!!!!!! ok...i'm never reading any GnR board again...it's such a waste...I'll find out about the cd when I hear about it on tv or radio.  The fact that they are looking for a new guitarist cannot be good.  If they are waiting to find a guitarist before touring, then that could put a major delay on the tour and the album...because the won't release the album until they can tour to promote it...FUCK!

  The album wont be delay`d at all...Thats just bullshit! How can u belive that? If tehy was going to rerecord the tracks they would start thinking of doin that right away whay Dickethead left... And not 6 moths after.. But they may still need one for touring... and thats all!

[Mr Cowbell ?]

...please...what is a freak?

He's just the freak of the week.

I knew I heard that dudes name before and thats where I seen him. He looks alot different on Made than the picture that was posted.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Doubt that they`d hold off CD for this guy to lay out new guitar parts to replace buckethead.

If there is any shread of truth to this this is how I think it should go down..(speculation of course)

Keep Buckets parts in, but have this new guy tour with them.

If he is rally a new member, have him work on the follow up album. This way we have 2 distintly different albums regarding lead guitar parts.

My 2 cents...

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I think BHs parts are staying and the new guy will just tour with them.

[Voodoochild]

Ok, I don't care about how this guy looks. It's less bizarre than Bucket anyways.
He did sound a lot like Buckethead, but I found this cool piece in his website:

http://www.bumblefoot.com/artist/multimedia/Bumblefoot_-_Delilah_Unplugged_-_DementiaRadio_-_14July2003.mp3

Reminds me a little bit of Hendrix, he's good for me. And, for all the others, I don't see him like a "rap metal" guitarrist. 
But I don't believe in this guy...  He would say anything about GNR only if they accpet/refused him, not WHILE they are in deal. He wants publicity. 

[killingvector]

If he is lying then this is a con not on GnR fans but on his own fans. they all believe him and stand behind him.

I think he may have been contacted and perhaps laid down for guitar parts for axl to hear but as far as being a member of gnr that is very presumptuous. I hope that all of our reactions to him will bear some weight as this search continues.

oh btw, get bucket back. offer more money, more girls, more creepy horror dolls, fire robin if you have to.
