One of the greatest topics of all time thanks to dave being a retard.
Let me just stop this foolish arguing by posting a few vids of Bumble.....Im a huge fan of his and have been before he was in GnR so.....
And some funk for good measure
By the way, not taking anything away from Buckethead, he is about even with me with Bumble, but some of Buckets albums are Hit/miss while all bumbles albums are all hit. But then again Bumble only has 9 albums while Bucket has millions.
BH is way more diverse than Ron, BH experiments a lot with his music, while most of Rons stuff is the same old boring BS.
Plus BH can play anything Ron cannot. Ron can just shred and thats about it. Who cares that he can play superfast if he has no feeling.
BH has songs that will tug on your emotions, Rons stuff is all mindless BS or silly crap.
I care about actual ability. I have a BA in Music. I love Buckethead and have pretty mich all of his albums.
I actually prefer listening to BH's music more than Ron's because it tends to be heavier. HOWEVER Ron is the clearly better guitarist with FAR more diversity. And that's why I generally like BH more than BBF. I know what I'm getting with BH. I get a creative guitarist who has his own distinct style and attempts to play stuff in different styles but in the end just ends up sounding like BH, which is GREAT.
Ron is a complete master of the Guitar. I look at BH and I get inspired. I watch Ron and I want to quit guitar. BH actually isn't THAT good compared to many other guitar players out there, including Ron.
You see, unlike SOME people I don't look at Music as all or nothing. I can like Slash, BH and BBF for different reasons. It's childish to insult someone based on taste because Music is such a personal thing.
That said Paco De Lucia is better than all 3 put together... but you would probly call this mindless shred...
BH is way more diverse than Ron. Just look at their albums. Bhs are always all different, Ron does most of the same on all his albums. He may have a few here and there where he strays from his normal, but come on now.
Ron may be able to play FASTER than BH, but that doesnt mean anything. BH can play with much more feeling and that is what counts.
And Ron cant be that much of a master when he doesnt play melodically. That is by far his weakest thing. Ron is good at playing fast, and at playing guitar gymnastics, but that does not mean jack when you cannot play with any feeling.
AND BH isnt that good compared to other guitar players LOL. That is really a good one. Ron is much better than Ron all around.
Ron can just play faster, but that is only one component. Ron cant even cover BHs parts well, yet Ron is better LOL
Ron can barely cover slashs parts well.
What the fuck? You did not address any of the points that Evil Ernie made in his post. Why did you even quote him? All you ever say in your argument is words like "faster", "melodic", or "emotion". You offer very little analytical input in your retorts. You just keep recycling the same arrogant, stubborn claims while ignoring the specifics that people have pointed out in order to challenge your 'argument'.
I am beginning to think that you have some serious social disorder. This is...this is just unreal...
How can you be so ignorant?

Who cares about all this technical bullshit? SCOM is an all time classic and will be played/remembered forever. I highly doubt there is anything in the Thal catalog that is as timeless as SCOM. There are thousands of youtube bedroom players better than anyone who has ever been in GNR but can they write a classic song?
Bucket's TWAT solo is the closest that GNR has come to that melody/vibe classic sound since the old band fell apart.
Is Thal a prodigy? Sure, technically speaking but get back to me when he contributes memorable material to GnR. Maybe he will on the next album ,who knows.
Well if we are talking about what constitutes a 'guitar prodigy' then technicality and proficiency in playing the instrument must be a major template for debate. Otherwise, we'd be speaking of influence.
-
Dave, what do you call this?:
It certainly ain't Speed Metal.
-
I'm a very big fan of Stone Temple Pilots. I've been following the band for years. As far as musicianship and songwriting skills go, I believe this band to be one of the greatest American Rock N' Roll bands of the 1990s. Yet, I will not lie. The songs that I've heard so far from their new self-titled album have not impressed me at all. I sincerely hope I am wrong in the hope that the album will captivate me in the same way that previous STP albums have seduced me (so to speak).
I just feel...underwhelmed...
-
Not much different from Axl's version on the 1991 UYI tour. I find it amusing how people call her voice rough yet totally dismiss the fact that Axl's voice at one point also sounded like grinding sandpaper/raping cats.
-
I like both. While I prefer the band's overall sound in the old version, Axl completely outdoes his 1987-self on this new rendition (imo) .
-
Am I the only one that was embarrassed by watching that?
Who gives a fuck. The dude and guests had a great and enjoyable time. That's all that matters.
-
Axl needs a straightener
Sure DJ has five or sixIt's pretty weird; Axl's hair in Rock In Rio 2001 looked so thick...much different to how it looks now.
Anyways, I know this show won't be anything short of spectacular. Argentinians have music running through their veins.
-
Is Lady Ga Ga the new Marilyn Manson? Great self marketer but not much of a musician.
Excuse me?
-
Fuck no. That shit was agonizing.
-
DJ, you're gonna see concert audiences like you've never seen them before. That my friend, I can guarantee.
-
Fuck yea. Looks like there will be a fuckin' awesome show in my home city.
In addition to that; Damn, Colombian women never fail to impress me. 
-
Y WONT AXL AND CO. TOUR THE USA, OR ATLEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THROUGH TWITTER OR WHATEVER THAT THEY PLAN TO TOUR THE US.
IT WILL SHOW COMPLETE DISRESPECT FOR THE FANS IF THEY DO NOT TOUR THE US.
PLEASE COME BACK TO THE STATES. WE MISS YA OVER HERE
They toured the U.S. extensively in 2002 and 2006. It's now time for these other counties to have a lil' taste of GN'R. Besides, I am willing to say that GN'R's strongest fan-base is in South America. Therefore, it makes sense that they're going to tour the area.

My favorite:

I tend not to listen to this song too often as it makes me quite 'sad'. I think it's a great tune. Unconventional for this forum I guess.
-
If it's during the summer, I'd rather a stadium. But really, as long as they do the tour, it doesn't matter to me. Just give me my General Admission tickets and I'll be happy.
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE BACK NICE haha didn't even notice. Awesome! Listening to Cross Purposes Live right now haha.
Tony Martin Sabbath >:
Still love you though<3
DUDE big love backatcha hahaha.
On topic: You know what would be an awesome idea: They do 25 dates (or better yet, 60/70) all at the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, Mass, near me, back-to-back. I get to go to every show.
Haha, nice. It's good to see you posting once again Dana.
Anyways, I think it would be a cool idea to do one club show and one amphitheater show at each major city played. I believe the Rolling Stones have done this in the past. Not only would both shows most likely sell-out, but there would be undeniable buzz created.
-
Telling my middle school principal that Chinese Democracy was 'right around the corner'. That was 2001...haha.
I would say the same thing at the beginning of each new semester. I told him the same shit for three straight years... 
-
Your all dum. This is the OLD axl rose.
The new one came along in 2002 and he died with the release of this cd.
Haha, I was just about to post something similar. The Axl Rose that I see onstage today (at least judging from the photographs and bootlegs), is the same man whose unbelievably raw energy made me a fan in the first place. I couldn't quite tell you what it is, but there is a noticeable change. The chip on his shoulder has slid off into the stratosphere. For the first time in many years, I once again feel utter excitement when made aware of Guns' movements across the musical landscape. I have been jaded for too long. These days, I am quite proud to be a fan of the band.
-
yea, Axl will have to be coming on earlier than normal... And if they do outdoor shows... definately cant be going passed 11PM at some places... So i would expect arenas.. smaller arenas more than most
Yeah, you're right. The one outdoor venue here in Dallas does have a time limit. I don't think I've ever seen a headliner go past 11:15. Most headliners are on by 9:30 and are off by 11:00. Most all day festivals start around 1:00 or like Ozzfest around 9:00 a.m.
I really wouldn't care where GNR performed as long as they came to Dallas. There are plenty of venues here all sizes to pick from and like I said, the HOB venue has the best sound system.
Multiple shows at the Nokia Center would be awesome. That building has unbelievable acoustics. Or...if they wanna shake things up, they could book Pizza Hut Park. Dallas has an enormous, rabid Rock fan-base. Shows by established Rock artists usually sell-out in no time.
-
wasnt he the guy who managed motley crue in the 80s?
He also managed Bon Jovi at around the same time. The guy's got a pretty long history with rock music...
-
that was obviously dave
Just what I was thinking.
-
LOL at the stripper in that photo gallery, cool pictures though
Haha, yeah I noticed that also. These are some fuckin' cool pics though. As I can tell (from the videos), the band was just spot on. Nice.

BH and Robin and Co did not butcher PC and WTTJ at the VMAS, the band sounded great, Axl was the only one who butchered the songs.
As for the CD songs are not Robins and BHs , of course they are, Esp with BH since he wrote the majority of the guitar parts for the album.
My main point being that he was saying it was wrong for Bumble and DJ to play CD songs to an audience who weren't bothered. It's no worse than Bucket and Robin playing Slash and Izzy's parts on the VMA's.
This band have changed so much in the past decade that it seems daft to get precious over lineup changes.
Basically you have a cover band playing AFD songs and the CD songs another cover band wrote who was also playing the old bands AFD songs.
It is kind of funny when you look at it like this, you have a cover band covering a cover band.
Only in the world of Gnr
And then we have people like you who feel the need to post that every single day. Honestly dave, what's your motivation for being here... is trolling fun for you? I would have thought you'd stick to the Old GN'R sections if that's what you want to discuss.
As for people asking to lock the thread - as long as it stays on topic and people remain respectful of one another (which up to this point, they haven't really), then the thread will remain open.
God people come up with some stupid shit to say though... like, REALLY? Criticising the secret gigs?
Sorry if the truth hurts.
You will just have to deal with it, nothing I said is not true. And I was just backing up what that other poster said.
Yes, because we all know that your opinion on everything is 'the truth'. Thanks for enlightening us.
How can you be so arrogant?I know people like you on here dont like using common sense but how many years did it take CD to come out after they canceled those shows that Axl claimed was to finished up the album and release it.
The answer is TWO, you really dont think they could have finished those 4 or 5 shows and still released the album on the same day it was released?
Its one thing if they canceled those shows then released CD that next summer but that is not what happened.
How does your reply event pertain to my post? It's nice to see how you pigeon-hole people through your self-perceived, deluded notions by the mere act of them just disagreeing with you. You are absolutely ridiculous. You don't know a thing about objectivity. Years ago when you supported everything Axl did you used the same rhetoric. You only deal in absolutes. Thus, you are highly irrational.

Is Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal a Prodigy?
in 2010
Posted · Edited by IndiannaRose
Seriously, what on Earth are you talking about dude? The truth hurts? You mean your opinion that you try to pass off as the absolute truth? That truth? Yeah, good try buddy.
In addition to that, you assume my stance on this issue just by the mere fact that I question your ability to formulate a cohesive, rational argument. How do you support such arrogant actions? I want you to tell me something about Ron's playing ability without injecting references to Axl or 'common sense'. Give me something with credibility. Describe his playing how a musician would describe his playing. Give me an analysis on Ron's playing without using the terms "faster" and/or "with emotion".
Tell me, how does a guitar player accurately display emotion on his guitar? Is the Blues the only way to achieve this? What scale and what technique does Ron use that would negate such 'melodic' playing? Really, I'd like to hear your answers. After all, isn't this a debate that we're going after?
