Jwalker19 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Interesting interview. It seems like he's doing the solo album to stay sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Axl is fkn idiot for not working on those songs starting at the 36th minute mark. They'd be truly great if Axl wasn't such a lazy diva and decided to release them with his vocals under the GnR name because to me they already sound fkn amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyrobot Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 This guys seems to be fed up with GN'R current status..... It's a bye-bye for Mr. Bumblefoot, unfortunately... and this ain't GN'R anymore. It's Axl's solo project, when you can't keep a whole line-up for a certain amount of time.So when we say OLD GNR, what is OLD GNR anyways? As far as I can tell, OLD GNR is already the line-up that included Buckethead and Finck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabioRoses Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Argentinian Tango is fuckin' awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooting Star Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Some parts of the interview reminded me of a psychiatric session (which is pretty understandable), even though Bumble seems like a cool guy. He even played parts of his new solo work.I hope he can play Yesterdays with GNR at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooting Star Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Argentinian Tango is fuckin' awesome Didn't seem to me that Argentina and Argentinian Tango are the same song, but I could be wrong.Edit. ok I think it's the same song Edited May 3, 2014 by Shooting Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underhardy Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 He is such a awesome guy.. sounds super down the earth. But he is a little shy/awkward in interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I don't think Bumblefoot is leaving anytime soon, but it's stupid Axl hasn't gotten vocals on any of these songs. Bumble is a great writer and can write and play pretty much anything, Grunge, Ballads, Strait Foward Rock, he's exactly what Axl has been looking for, yet we still haven't heard any songs Bumble's written with Axl on vocals.

itsprettytiedup Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Argentina and Argentinian Tango are the same songIn gnrsudamerica's twitter are the most important of the interview (it's in spanish), check it out if you want https://twitter.com/gnrsudamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin White Duke Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Just watched the first 30 seconds and it already made me laugh when he seems to get surprised because the guy asks him about the GNR tour. "Oh, the GNR Tour, yeah, yeah" What did he expect to be asked about?! I love Bumble, he gives me good vibes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Jesus Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 That first song he played, It sounded like it was written for Axl. I really could hear Axl singing it in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnfnrs1972 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Bumblefoot should manage Guns N Roses! Big respect for the guys musical talents. Can you even imagine Axl having the balls to sing like that in an interview. NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) So, no Argentinian Tango for the new GN'R album. At least it's gonna get released this year though.Thanks for posting!Damn, he told me it would be on there a few months agoEDIT- Sorry I misread that lol. I am glad its on his solo album. It would never see the light of day as a GNR song Edited May 4, 2014 by ZoSoRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 He's so damn talented and down to earth. Those songs at the end have great potential and sound fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willl Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Good interview, songs sounded great, though Bumble did sound pretty frustrated with the current status of GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Bumble's frustration with GN'R says it all. I especially like when he's asked what UYI songs he'd like to play that haven't been played yet and responds along the lines of "what songs would I like to play that we won't play." Things like these are pretty much the entire picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 It's sad because you know he mentions the things that frustrate him to Axl and he likely brings up our frustrations to him. I just don't think Axl trust him. Bumble will always be the third string player that Axl never truly wanted, but he's the only one that hasn't quit.If you want change in GNR you need someone like Beta who has been around Axl a long time to talk him into changes. The only other person Axl might listen to is a Duff or Slash and that's if they are in the band. Axl disconnects himself from his band, and his fans. It's weird, but bumble has no influence on Axl at all. That's probably why there's no new music. Axl isn't inspired by his 2 third string guitar players. That's the thing that bothers me about Axl. Instead of making the most of the hand he dealt, he gets focused on the reasons he had to play a hand. Then he thinks his fans are delusional and are trying to take advantage of him. While bumble never will have the fan base Axl has, he does treat his few fans really well. He's just a really good guy. I know he wants to create music for a larger audience (the GNR base) but he needs to know when he's been dealt into a crappy situation. And the truth is the GNR boat isn't going anywhere. It's all gimmicks from this point on. Axl has shut himself off to everyone else. I'm glad bumble has stuck around, I hope the best for him and hope he gets a chance to add his signature to the GNR catalog. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Great interview, honest and informative (well, as informative as it can be). Compare this to "We never play the same setlist! Working on new ideas all the time! Go to ASHBASwag.com!"Song snippets sounded cool, liked his more recent singles more than his previous work (Invisible and Father especially, and dug the Strawberry Fields Forever cover). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Hired Gn'R musicians are like whores: they get paid to be fucked. They get paid well, but they're still being fucked. At least the ones with integrity and true will to actually be productive and somewhat legit.Bumble wants to be the "gf" but as of right now, he's not much more then Axl's hired bitch and he doesn't like it. And why would he? he feels like he's got much more to give compared to what he's allowed to, and he doesn't get much in return artistically. It's probably getting boring as fuck for him, considering his many abilities as a guitar player.You've got a mad scientist in your band with the potential to help you do whatever, but instead there is no musical trust it seems between Axl and the rest of the band. Not like it was in the old days, or even with the 2002 line up.You mix that with Axl's lazy ass and insecurities and what you get as a fan is nothing. For years at a time.
