Coma16 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 My preference would be to either not replace him or bring back someone from the alumni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'd like to see what Nuno Bettencourt and Axl could come up with...if it were up to me.Just close your eyes and imagine a bunch of passive-aggressive tweets and cryptic Facebook posts after Nuno has been in the band for 8 years and realizes he hasn't had the chance to write or record anything new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefeet Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Unless it is someone that is unknown and not established..... why would anyone bother joining.This. No well known and successful guitarist would join this fucken trainwreck excuse of a band, not now.$$$$$$$$$$$$. The music industry is not what it used to be. GnR still headline festivals and gigs around the world.Of course I don't like to see any replacement for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Just a theory: Axl brigns back Paul Tobias and get 4tus or DJ share the leads... I don't think Izzy want to join full time, neither Duff. Slash is impossibble at this point with this line up. A very very small chance to Robin Finck. Buckethead is almost as impossible as Slash.But if BBF leaves, then Axl would hire a new guy and the show continues (in this case there won't be another album in Axl's lifetime, imo) Edited August 10, 2014 by Crash Diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Considering new gnr are now cheesy sunset strip band these days, i.e. not the 'arty' band of 2001-02, perhaps someone like Ryan Roxie, Brent Muscat, or Keri Kelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercool Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) if bumblefoot leaves, he will certainly be replaced by nuno bettencourt.he and axl have already talked about that possibility some time ago.

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 who is paul gilbert and why have I never noticed him?There is a conspiracy theory that Paul Gilbert is Buckethead actually. Funny stuff, though it has been proven wrong. But yeah, Paul Gilbert is the god of alternate picking.Lots of people are capable of replacing BBF, including Fortus. Someone like Guthrie Govan could pull off the fretless stuff easily, but I think he has too much integrity to work with Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 John Frusciante fits the star quality bill but I wouldn't want another star player since Axl fucks up the opportunities clearly, get someone who is mates with Ashba and see how Axl likes his touring band then.

DR DOOM Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 They need a cheesy player to gel with the towering genius that is cashba. How about CC Deville:I've been advocating for CC for quite a while now, since the bar is so fucking low a guy ( guitarist) like Ashba can be in the band for 5 years (at all) CC is actually several rungs up the ladder on DJ in the credibility stakes.

PITBOSS Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 someone mentioned it was rumoured axl had a project with doug Aldrich in the works, does that guy have the chops? a few good ideas here, nuno bettencourt, john frusciante, paul gilbert, yngwie, Richard fortus there are tons of good guitarists that would love to be in a touring band and don't have much going on. maybe they had success somewhere along the line but fizzled out? there's no way someone like Eric Clapton would be into this, he probably makes as much as gnr on his own. I'm talking about someone who is available and would be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Doug Aldrich is a classic 80s metal guitarist, he was great with DIO.Is that what Axl needs? I dunno, but I know for sure Axl's GNR does not need or benefit from Ashba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Am I the only one who always laugh when John Frusciante gets mentioned as a possible Ron B. F. Thal replacement? I mean, the guy left RHCP to have total freedom and control over his career. And he would throw it all away to work FOR Axl Rose? Abandon a creative and productive solo career to play AFD in Vegas? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I also know there's a minus 1000 chance Frusciante would join this circus, he left the Peppers cause he wanted to get away from the big furore again and focus on his beautiful solo work, I have absolutely no doubt he could make phenomenal contributions if he somehow desired to join but again, being next to DJ Ashba would be grotesque and we saw how well Axl utilized Buckethead, Finck and BBF's talents in the length of time they were available...

DieselDaisy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Zakk, Frusciante - Clapton! - you lot do realise that new GN’R’s stock is at a colossal all-time low? For someone to join this absurd band they would have to have no creative ambition and no moral scruples (that is that they are willing to play another guy’s guitar parts in Vegas indefinitely). They have to in fact, only care about cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
