Young_Gun Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) I miss Bucket! Why? Because he didn't speak at all?Did we ever get a picture of him unmasked? I know that young one from that newspaper article is fake.The one on your right.That's not Bucket, that's another guitar player named Stéphane Alaux from France. I'm pretty sure the old newspaper article is legitimate and the only real picture of him unmasked. Edited May 29, 2012 by Young_Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB3 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hahaha! Bumble not long for this band by the looks of it! At least he has the balls to speak up anyway! He has had one foot out the door for ages, you can feel it in interviews, some little snide comments and a general vibe.Honestly, I think that's just Ron's overall attitude, not his attitude toward being in Guns. He jokes a lot and is very sarcastic. I'm sure other big Bumble fans like Glow could vouch for me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Shneck Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) BBF is fed up. Good on him for taking (another) swipe about the pointless endless touring. Edited May 29, 2012 by Peter Shneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) He's said stuff to this end before. I don't really think Axl cares that he does. Edited May 29, 2012 by Flayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think they will tour the rest of the decade without releasing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu4ic Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Oh my goodness. If I understand BBF correctly, it's as if fans who merely watch the shows from home on youtube clips actually matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Oh my goodness. If I understand BBF correctly, it's as if fans who merely watch the shows from home on youtube clips actually matter!Don't you think fans who attend shows ALSO want a new record and would prefer that before another tour?We all want the same, band members, hardcore fans, casual fans: new music. And Axl has said he wants to release more music but also to tour heavily in support of CD. Let's just hope things play out according to that plan.

LOLIMO all they want his a good ol'trip down memory lane hearing heyday GnR classics...Axl seems to agree with me, or he'd focus on playing more CD stuff on the concerts, instead of so much AFD/UYI stuff.

I probably shouldn't have included casual fans, although I am sure they have nothing against new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Like everyone here I'd love to hear new music form Axl and the band but I just can't see it happening as it would've already by now. In 2011 Axl was off the road for nealy the whole year and he didn't write with the band. If he didn't then with all that free time then it's unlikely ever? I'm not being pessinistic just realistic. If Axl feels he is still trying to live up to the old Gnr legacy then releasing more music over the years would've curbed that criticism that and reinforced this new band as a force in the media and fans eyes. I don't get it but I think it's due to Axl's mental problems and fear of criticism. Who knows. I know this is all common sense and been sais before! Alot of the reason why people dismiss the new band over the years is bacause the lack of output(14 songs in 20 years). If he had released more music at least people can't dismiss him as a productive musician. Who releases a perfect album? There are legendary musicians who still release music even tho it doesn't compare to their earlier work e.g MJ, Bruce Springsteen etc.. Axl needs to stop the O.C.D and just at least release the rest of the CD tracks and then start collabing with the new band. It's great that Ron at least acknowledges what the fans want. Hopefully they'll get thru to Axl one day. As Glow Inc says the fans of current band are starving for music and that's an understatemnent! Anyway rant over from desperate fan haha.

The Glow Inc. Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Well, if we use that logic, do you think casual fans who don't even know who is in the band actually WANT ( as in "eagerly wait for" ) a tour or do they just go to shows because, well, Guns n' Roses happen to be in town ?"Fans", the people who actually like that band ( and its members ), are mostly starving for music so I hardly see how BBF is wrong...

volcano62 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 IMO as long as they play OMG Jungle, SCOM and PC the concert goers will keep going to see the band. New music is not needed to tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 55 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Huh. Fans on the board say "Don't tour! Enough touring! Do new music!" and they get shouted down. BBF says the same thing, and they change their tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NEVER seen such a post here. We all seem to agree on this issue. No need to construct a disagreement just because we're on mygnrforum.
