frank is frank. i'll take josh freese or brain over him any day. he's good but, he's nothing to write home about.

I spoke to Poc last night. He'll be fine.

the dude just tweeted sorry.

did he forget brownstone?

First of all, I've never had a twitter account. Why? If I have something to say about my life, it's not going public, much less the world. I'll talk to my friends or family if I have something to talk about. End of story. Secondly, anyone that does 'tweet', or follow anyone on such media, needs to get a life. Why? That person apparently has TOO MUCH TIME on their hands and isn't productive enough in their own lives to even consider something like 'Twitter' a mere afterthought.

The folks who 'tweet' crap like this apparently are in need of attention. 90% of the time, whatever they're 'tweeting', isn't even necessarily true. It's just a matter of trying to get attention.

In Bumble's case, he's doing just that. Trying to get attention. Why? MARKETING 101.

The more of you idiots that profess profound sympathy for the dude, the more of a chance Rolling Stone or some outlet like that, with credibility, picks up on the story and reports it. Which, ultimately, provides an outlet for the person 'tweeting', to get publicity and thus, promote the brand. In this case, the brand is 'BUMBLEFOOT'.

I love the guy, but the teenaged 'tweets' about being in pain or whatever are merely reaching for publicity.

Ron Thal isn't going anywhere. The payday he's getting being a part of GNR is a hundred fold over anything he'd be doing on his own.

If anyone can prove otherwise, please respond in kind.

Otherwise, stop being so naive.

This is without a doubt one of the dumbest posts I've ever read.

Considering the people who post here...that is one dumb fucking post.

Umm, Sunny...a better question is how do you not pull suicide from these tweets.

Alone. Contemplating......

Wow. Was gonna finally do it and the stuff I need is missing from my luggage. Guess I'll see y'all tomorrow......... #FuckYouGuardianAngel

What else could these possibly mean?

Yeah, the video isn't ment to be some kind of top secret exploitative thing. It was just to show he's on painkillers which we already knew. The only reason it's unlisted is because I don't want to see blabbermouth or something using it and spinning it into something it's not.

I'm going to delete it now anyways for those reasons after further thought, but I still disagree that it's private. It was streamed publicially dude. And it's nothing we don't already know or that he doesn't tweet about daily.

Here is some audio of Ron taking painkillers before the Kansas City concert.

This video is unlisted for a reason. I don't want some site picking it up and spinning it into something. If I see this linked anywhere I'll delete it.

it's poc talking? or you? :(

Poc is the one talking to Ron.

At the same time I don't think people realise that as much as Ron is in pain and everything, he does have a funky sense of humour and maybe the new thread title is a bit dramatic. I think he'll be fine. He's just acting strange because of the drugs most likely. Once the tour is over he'll get some rest and be good as new (I hope).

I really think Bumble wants to do something else (produce), but the GNR paycheck is to let go.

Actually, Ron didn't want to tour at all. He said he had to because they couldn't get someone else to do it.

I'm a huge Bumblefoot fan. I follow every step that guy makes. From what I've seen, I can tell you that he's in a shitload of pain and it's worse than most think.

Kudos to him for lasting so long but, if you ask me he shouldn't be on this tour at all. He's a legend for lasting this long.

what's the difference?

I don't like to compare. they all are great in their own way.

Is this thread a joke?
