Popular Post Gibson87 Posted January 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) The rest of the interview is pretty interesting too http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ron-bumblefoot-thal-says-guns-n-roses-chinese-democracy-album-is-a-masterpiece/ On his contributions to GUNS N' ROSES' 2008 album, "Chinese Democracy": Ron: "The fretless guitar and some of the melodies and things like that… Everybody contributed so much. There's so many people. I don't think there's ever been an album, I don't even want to say just rock music, but in music, in recorded music, that had so many people contributing from such a vast array of time and styles and everything to create this final masterpiece. It really is. If you really break down everything that is going on in that record, there is so much. It's such a fragile balance of so many parts that works just right. Caram Costanzo, the producer, the guy that I spent 14 hours a day with, laying [down] guitar parts, [he's] fantastic."

ludurigan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 now that bumblehead revealed that axl solo album is a masterpiece i am gonna listen to it again looking back, i surely must have missed something on the 180 previous times that i tried to listen to that album and was forced by something to stop midway! i was completely unable to enjoy it! but now that bucketfoot says that there are zillion layers on it (wow, never noticed it!) and a billion people playing on it (really?!) i am pretty sure that the songs will be much better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaveleft Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 His passive aggressiveness was making me sick while he was in the band. Say what you want about DJ, but at least he loved those songs while he was playing them, contrary to Ron. I saw them twice live, and easily you could tell by the body language and facial expressions who was a poser that nevertheless loved the band(yeah, it s not a simple onedimensional impression about a person) and who was technicaly really good guitarist but with some serious issues at first with himself and then with the whole band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) The main reason ''there's so many people'' is not down to some preconceived deliberate artistic policy, but that Rose would find himself wanting to include the parts of subsequent replacing members of his 'Nugnr' bands during that album's long gestation, whether as a policy of representative modernity/group solidarity, or as some sort of grudge against departed members whose parts were being removed to make room for the interlopers': thus Frank found himself replacing (some of) Brain's drum tracks, Brain who earlier had replaced the entirety of Freese's, and Bumblefoot found himself replacing (some of) Buckethead's solos; Fortus also seems to have gotten parts on there (at whose expense?) while Tobias simply dropped-off as a touring member, leaving his parts behind.

Popular Post ShadowOfTheWave Posted January 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ah, the reunion brought the Slashites back in full force. Such a pleasant place this turned into. Where interesting music like Catcher in the Rye, Shackler's Revenge and Madagascar are mocked, and people actually want new GNR songs in the same vein as the atrocious shit Slash and Duff have written in the past decade. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefoot loved the band, and really enjoyed playing the music for the fans. DJ loved the fame that playing in GNR allowed him, he used it solely as a platform to raise his profile, he was not backstage saying "can we play some new songs, can we release a new song at the start of each leg". Now I'm not saying that Bumblefoot was in GNR out of the goodness of his heart, but I think you can see what I'm getting at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something fishy, creepy about that Bumble guy. Never got that vibe from Bumblefoot, I've talked with him a good few times and he was always super nice and the exact opposite of what you're describing. There were a couple of months during his tenure that he was not pleased with the band and how things were being run and he vented online, that wasn't the best choice. Having said that, it was honest and in my opinion everything he said was fair, like, when you're in a band you should release music, the management should inform you about upcoming plans, and when you've been in sever car crash and need time to recuperate you shouldn't be forced into a position of having to go on the road in spite of your health and well-being. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the NuGuns guys were a bit odd to say the least. I mean, Brain describes the first time he saw Robin as something along the lines of, this crazy looking dude with half his head shaved and wearing a dress, or something like that. They were all a bit bonkers in their own way, and that seemed to be what Axl was going for, according to Brain. Bonkers band. Bonkers album. Probably why I love it.

Slaveleft Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I just think that he never should be in the band. Great guitarist, but not for Gnr. Robin and Bucket were creepy, but in a beautiful, very loveable way. Edited January 14, 2018 by Slaveleft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I guess theres a distinction to draw between masterpiece and master work? One can have multiple masterpieces? Guns master work would of course be any release up to 91. I sure think CD's a masterpiece even while not digging two tracks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The guy is proud of the work he did with Axl....ChiDem is not my cup of tea but I respect Bumble defending that album.... That being said I guess I am a proud "Slashite" as I love Slash's solo work and also like Duff and Izzy's and prefer them to ChiDem..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I don't listen to GNR if I want to hear interesting music, a band who got famous for their songs about drinking, banging chicks and teary ballads such as Nightrain, Rocket Queen or November Rain. Shacklers in comparison is a straight turd. You couldn't possibly remove yourself farther from your iconic sound, which is why this will always be an Axl solo album which had the name GNR forced upon it.

Gibson87 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I personally love CD. It was very enjoyable to hear those songs at the shows I went to these past couple years. There was so much potential with that 2002 lineup that got wasted by not getting the record out sooner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 i wouldnt say its a masterpiece by any stretch. it had the potential to be though... there are a few songs which are very underrated... if they played them properly at shows the general public might warm up to them but they havnt been playing them the right way imo, especially axls vocals on those songs... most of that stuff is tougher than a lot of illusions stuff so i dont get why they attempt certain CD tracks and dont tackle some of the easier illusions material... but one thing i do know for sure is that CD is the best material bumblefoot will have ever performed live so i guess i understand the comment he made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite. I think their bumholes are still sore from the last run of shows with masses of Chinese deep cuts that had the poor dears running for their safe space XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
