The Glow Inc. Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well...As much as I love Bumblefoot ( favourite guitarist ever ), Nuno is an amazing guitarist and he would have made a SWEET replacement for Buckethead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshRiot Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 yes, it's true, he was asked to join Gn'r when Buckethead left. I went to see an extreme concert in Lisbon and i had All Access to their gig in the Hard Rock and i was able to talk for a while with the band.Obviously my first question to Nuno was Gn'r Related, what he said was that he was invited to Play but for him,and for his L.A. friends playing in a Band like Gn'r wasn't necessarily a good thing, because they didn't really play all that much, it was Axl's show, there was no real creative stuff to be done. So it wasn't a fun gig and he didn't even audition. He added that the loves Gn'r, but it just wasn't the best thing for him to be in a band with that much Hiatus. He said he knew what was goin on in there because the music circle is very tight over there, so people know how certain bands work, and that wasn't what he was looking for, but he wished them the best.At the time, Gn'r was mostly anout Hiatus, and even though they do tour now and Chinese is outta the way, Nuno is still right, it's not a band where you get to make a record, go on tour and have fun. They've been touring this record for years, people come and go and no one's really sure what goes on over there, besides it's kinda different from what a "normal" band would do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepsun Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 interesting... a long time ago, I posted that Axl should hire him.. he's a brilliant guitarist... he just needs a good songwrtier.http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=137584&st=120&p=2366374&hl=bettencourt%20zepsun&fromsearch=1entry2366374 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It's like Axl approached every guitarist except Slash. Axl must have some real hate going.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prez Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I can see why you'd want to hire someone from Extreme. That's never worked out badly for any other major rock bands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Great post Prez.I didn't like extreme ......but I think nuno would have been a great fit, especially on songs like catcher and TIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If Nuno wasn't up for a spot in GN'R,well he should have been. This guy kicks some serious ass and has written a number one hit single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow, I'm surprised Axl didn't try to get CC Deville No matter, Ashba is in GNR now and he is way more of a nancy boy than CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow, I'm surprised Axl didn't try to get CC Deville No matter, Ashba is in GNR now and he is way more of a nancy boy than CC I remember some years back when Dj Ashba was the greatest thing since Slash, and he even come here to chat.When he's gone, he will get the Finck treatment.PANCAKES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 He'll only get the Finck treatment if Axl replaces him with someone even worse, which is nigh on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercourse Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Great player, amazing chops...Extremem despite the terrible lyrics and vocals had some well crafted and ambitous rock tunes.Looks like Nuno heard what many of us had assumed about GNR - you're the help and nothing more.

T.wa.T Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) He's an excellent guitarist but I can't see him in Guns. Glad it didn't happen cuz Axl might be singing More Than Words. I hate that song. Edited January 16, 2014 by T.wa.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
