    Q. What is Buckethead Pikes?

    A. A kiosk shop set up in the park that carries particular wedges not readily available at the toystore.

    And now he's up to #68 of these albums. :lol:

    Remember this

    A Message from W. Axl Rose

    LISBON, Portugal--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2004--Guns N' Roses will not be performing as scheduled at Rock In Rio - Lisbon.

    The band has been put in an untenable position by guitarist Buckethead and his untimely departure. During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment - despite being under contract - creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence. His transient lifestyle has made it impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communication with him whatsoever. Last time I talked to Bucket, he called to tell me he had bought a bootleg DVD off EBay and how proud he was to be in Guns and how impressed he was with everyone's performance. Then, in February we got word from Brain that Bucket had called him and said he was back in Guns!? Apparently, according to Bucket he had been "Gone" but had turned himself around and was really excited to do Rio-Lisbon and a European tour. Somewhere in the following month things changed once again. According to those who have actually spoken with Buckethead it appears his plans were to secure a recording contract with Sanctuary Records which I encouraged my management to make available to him, quit GN'R and to use his involvement in the upcoming Guns release to immediately promote his individual efforts...Nice guy!

    There is not a member of this camp that is not hurt, upset and ultimately disappointed by this event, and more to the point - if not this individual, certainly this individual's choices. Regardless of anyone's opinions of me and what I may or may not deserve, clearly the fans, individuals in this band, management, crew and our support group do not deserve this type of treatment. We as a whole, definitely feel that we afforded Bucket every accommodation perhaps so much so that it may be that we or more precisely, I may have done Guns a disservice and unintentionally allowed Guns to be put in this position.

    On behalf of Guns N' Roses and myself I apologize to the fans who planned to see us at Rock In Rio - Lisbon. The festival and its tradition mean a lot to me personally and I sincerely do not enjoy being robbed by one of our own of the opportunity to be the first artist to play it for the third time. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who chose to embrace Buckethead's role in Guns and support our new line up. We greatly appreciate Bucket's contributions and remain open to "discussions" as there are obviously several issues to resolve. In the meantime rather than dwelling on the negative, Guns will be moving forward and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further. Regardless we hope to announce a release date within the next few months.

    Sincerely,

    W. Axl Rose

    The Festival will shortly announce the name of a new headliner to perform with EVANESCENCE, KINGS OF LEON and XUTOS E PONTAPES amongst others

  2. The easy money comment annoys me now I don't want VR to reunite with Scott

    What else would it be but money? That's why some people want a GN'R reunion too.

    Maybe for the love of the music or the band "easy money" comment shows his only real motivation
    You think the GNR members who want a reunion only want it for the love of the music or the band? I certainly don't.
    I'm not even sure how many GNR members really want a reunion Adler, Gilby, Matt?

    LOL. The only one that wasn't an employee was Adler

    And I'm sure the money is his biggest motivation for wanting a reunion.

    Did I ever mention that wasn't one of GNR's primary motivations to make money? I'm not sure what you are trying to get at?

    Scotts always seemed a dick to me and that "easy money" comment just makes me like him even less.

    Just pointing out that Scott isn't the only one doing it for the money, that's all.

    You think most musicians don't think about money? People sell music and play shows for money. Don't let them fool you.

    we already covered this

    Scott has one thing going for him I prefer his songs with VR to slash and Myles
