Spoon87 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Another great thing Ron does for his fans. He's such a class guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would ignore the cupcakes especially Glow and Sunny. They are scums of the earth living in the projects and are starving for attention. I...have been a Bumblefoot fan for the last nine years and NuGnR is my favourite band. As a matter of fact, Ron is my favourite musician in the world and I will support him no matter what, Guns n' Roses or not.What makes you think I'm trolling ?

James Bond Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is not selling out whatsoever. I bet if Slash did the same thing for say a bit more (like $20) then you wouldn't be complaining at all. The fact that you even mentioned Slash in the original post is a waste considering this thread could have simply been posted as an alert for all the Bumblefoot fans. $2 a month and ONLY in the month that you want is hardly something he'll make a killing off of. It's a fair price considering what he's offering. I waste much more than that on fast food in a week.Here's my thoughts:1) If you don't like Bumblefoot, fine. Not everybody will! But if you hate him so much, why look up news about him?2) To expand on the above, why post a topic about someone you don't like? Surely there are better things to do/post about.3) Slash has nothing to do with this topic either, so why mention him?In my opinion, neither of the two guys are sellouts. This here is great news for Bumblefoot fans so why try to ruin that by intentionally starting another *insert name* vs. Slash argument?If you wanted to use this as evidence that Slash isn't the only one "selling out" (which I hardly consider it to be, see my last sentence), then you should have just posted it in one of the endless threads about the same argument.Bottom line, even if he was selling out - who gives a shit? This goes for both guys. Them doing this kind of thing is not affecting your life whatsoever. If it is, I strongly suggest getting some fresh air. If you don't like it - don't buy it. Simple.

MB. Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Wow, I thought everybody liked Ron as person? Even the Slash-fans do, cause he really is nice. Maybe not everybody like him to be in newgnr, but as a person he is very likeable. I bet even Slash himself would not like this thread at all!

Gods Favourite Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 He's grabbing GNR fans who previously had no ideia who he was into his quick buck money making machine, besides I saw this articule on another GNR board, I dont hang out on bumble's forums.What?! He's not forcing you to buy it, he's just giving you the opportinity . Maybe 2 people will buy it, maybe thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say that only fans will buy this app and I'm sure the fans that do will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRocker Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 What is wrong for me is that you actually have to pay a monthly fee to belong to somekind of forum, wich is called his fan club were he is suposely sharing some photos and videos with you and might answer some questions... I mean he alredy has his forum, is it asking too much to post those pictures or videos for free? This is like some kind of BumbleFoot premium edition, although I like his playing, I gotta disagree on what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, he's releasing a 2 dollar a month app fanclub thing that gives people exclusive stuff and gives them a chance to win the lessons and stuff?

The Glow Inc. Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's only 2 bucks anyway, AKA "less than I'm willing to pay for exclusive BBF stuff"...and I'm sure most pre-Guns Bbf fans feel that way too.

axl8302 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just a personnal anecdote : back in 2003, I emailed Ron and wished him a merry x-mas at the time ( little did I know that he was jewish ) because I had found out that he took care of all orders on his website personally so I thought it would be cool.Not only did he reply to me but he sent me a link to a hidden part of his website where I could download an ( at the time ) exclusive Outkast lounge cover album he had done for free.Back in 2005 I was pretty depressed for personnal reasons and since the Bumbleforum was the place I used to hang a lot, I wrote about it. Ron not only took the time to comment on it but also sent me several PMs just to make sure it was OK, and told me that the forum was pointless if we couldn't be there for each other.At my Bumblefoot concert in 2002, he was horribly ill, looked like he was about to overdose on flu medication but he still took the time to write some nice words on my 9.11 album though the promoters told me he had to rest.Had a few chats with him back in 2003 right after the tour and Ron has always been very honnest about his views on the music industry, considering his often horrible personal experiences.Ron is a genuine class act and the most talented musician I have ever seen. I have absolutely no problem with him being as successful as he can.He's grabbing GNR fans who previously had no ideia who he was into his quick buck money making machine, besides I saw this articule on another GNR board, I dont hang out on bumble's forums.So basically he should promote himself exclusively through a Bumbleforum newsletter in case a GnR fan finds out and gets everybody else infected by reposting the shit ?He's got back to me personally every time I've written to him. I heard about that supposed acoustic London date this year, was looking to go, facebooked him, he got back to me in 10 minutes to let me know it wasn't happening - ron's a class act.

Graeme Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 "A Fan Club membership type thang, in the form of a Twitter-like social app where exclusive pics, audio, video and text messages will be shared - also thinking of giveaways for members like........ Exclusive chat schedules, Guitar Lick Of the Month - video / TAB, Guitar picks used at different shows (mailed to ya), A 10-minute personal 'Ask Me Anything' session, 1-song acoustic personal Skype performance, 30-minute Skype guitar lesson The app is done, company charges around $2/month subscription, no requirements, just pay whatever month ya want in. More details about the app when it's ready to go and I'm prepped to carry out all these things I wanna offer... Ron"http://www.bumblefoot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5338Wow, I guess the sellout $lash, has much to learn from this guy... Fuck off. You know nothing at all about this man, you're creating bullshit where there is none and putting a negative spin on a hugely positive event for the fans. All Ron ever does is give of himself, and he never asks for anything unreasonable in return... he's certainly not inaccessible. If you want to talk to him, go ask and you're pretty much guaranteed a response. If I wanted to speak to Slash, at this moment, right here right now. I've no idea how I'd do it.There is a reason all but one poster in this thread disagree with you. That reason would be that you're wrong. However, let us hijack this thread and start talking about how awesome this would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdlove Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've actually met Ron and Slash both in person. Ron is easy going and you can actually TALK to him and he'd listen. Slash grumbled when I asked for an autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Slash offering anything like this...This is as stupid as the Slash remark the OP made.Not interested in this thing, but it's hard to say something bad about Bumblefoot. Everything he does screams 'nice guy'. Although I don't like his playing too much, more power too him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl8302 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't like Bumbles playing that much tbh, he's obviously very talented though.I think the OP is taking a cheap shot here, Ron's a decent guy who's very open, accommodating and respectful of his fans. I'm very pleased he's in GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Wow thats pretty cool if he comes through with all of that and does it frequently. Anyone who honestly says "SHHHHHHHHHHHELLOUT!!" should just be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
