GNR 1991 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It’s obvious to anyone that the first solo on CD is Robin Finck, however I always thought it was obvious that the second solo (the one right after Finck’s) is Bucket, since he debuted it on the 2002 shows. Don’t ask how or why I came across this article on the old GnR website from 2008, but there’s an official description of all the tracks, excluding Shacklers for some reason. https://web.archive.org/web/20081204070225/http://web.gunsnroses.com:80/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081123&content_id=a1&vkey=news&fext=.jsp It says the CD solo is Ron Thal. Could it be talking about the noodling over the outro? Because the other two solos are most definitely not BBF. The liner notes on CD for title track say “Guitar solos: Robin Finck, Buckethead”. So, which is correct? http://aln2.albumlinernotes.com/site/mobile?url=http%3A%2F%2Faln2.albumlinernotes.com%2FChinese_Democracy.html#3040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't think there's any doubt that it's Bucket. I wouldn't trust that review much...it was pretty amateur, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 yeah it's Bucket for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ron just does the fretless rhythm parts I believe. Adds a ton to the song though 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 100% Bucket. He nails it. BBF is an amazing guitarist but he never nailed it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Oh man that old GNR website brings back some memories. I remember sitting in front of the computer with my brother and listening to the newly released album on the GNR Myspace like it's yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Both solos are fantastic. Both are deceptively bluesy too, despite there futuristic style. The hand off between those solos is exciting and for me comes through on Axls promises for the music on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 They inspire other musicians to do the same, they are not difficult. Mission accomplished. Very awesome way of doing things. Kinda like the November Rain vocals. Genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
