DR DOOM Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If Axl had Buckethead in his band for 3 years and couldn't put out one album, what chance does Ron have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Rovim, that whole analogy has to be one of the most beautiful, but ugly and true things I have ever read. But reading your post really gets me down, cause it makes me think back to all the potential this band has had at several different points, and honestly still has. I know this might sound bad, but I hope everyone in the band leaves or finds a better opportunity. What they're going through now is borderline artistic abuse. I'm sure the money's really good, but what's that when you're just gonna end up being remembered as one notch above a touring/session musician?Wouldn't it be awesome if Bumblefoot's record ends up being a huge hit? I know it probably won't happen, but it'd be great for him to finally get the recognition he deserves.

It's borderline disrespectful to not give these musicians a fucking chance to at least fucking express themselves. And the fans to have a good reason to follow them and being recognized for something fresh and of value. I don't know how long Bumble can take this shit.

CAFC Nick Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Great to see he's still staying active and using his talent. Not always been the biggest fan of his less melodic wankery on some of his stuff but his talent is undeniable. Such a shame they can't all just write and record together!

TOS--LOA Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Bumblefoot should use his Don't Cry strategy with another UYI deep cut or even a New Song. Play an impressive instrumental version that gets the crowd into it. Then in a few years Axl will finally get his lazy ass out on stage and sing the whole song. Worked for Don't Cry.

Mendez Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I dislike that solo projects come out from the members because on the off chance that Axl wants to release an album, some of the potential hits that might have been have already been out. Its understandable that they want to but it irks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Nice interview, I don't personally see his efforts as being wasted or squandered, his songs seem to fit him the most and I feel he is more a collaborator than someone who'd write melodies for Guns, once they are there, he knows how to flesh it all out!Thanks for posting.

PITBOSS Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ron wanted some hardball questions and to be put on the spot, but it didn't happen. Mildly interesting interview. I liked the guitar on the first song he was playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cause they were rightly frustrated by Axl's talent to steer the ship into the rocks. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Just have them sit on their best material and hope that one day Axl wants to move forward?I'm glad Slash started Snakepit, and I'm glad that the other members are doing their own things as well.

RandallFlagg Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wonder what Axl will think in ten years time looking back on the music he could've released with the guys he's had at his disposal and only has one record done, a great record, but one goddamn record with all the resources, personnel, opportunities and time... he'll have plenty of cash and an outstanding catalogue of songs but the shit he could've achieved with new GNR is just sad.

Bruno P. Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 He will get another album done and released sooner or later, but that's it. 20 years of new GnR and one album out. Axl surely took album releases quite seriously over the past two decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Will Axl request these songs back after BBF releases them as solo material like he did with Slash's Snakepit? That would be so funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
