Damn I feel bad for the guy.
gunsfanoldie Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I agree. I didn't see crying but he got visibly upset and disturbed. I feel terrible. I figured at first it was all an act. I have to imagine this isn't the first time he's gone on Livestream so I just figured he was screwing with everyone. But that got really sad really quickly.
evergreen_layne Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Axl should let him go tend to his Dad.
SL138 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) he started crying at the last seconds then he got away from the screen and then cut the stream Edited December 11, 2011 by SL138
Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 the tour cant be made without him and cant be cancelled cuz axl might get sued by a lot of peopleThis is such bullshit. Richard and DJ could handle the parts by themselves if he needs to take a leave.Maybe even bring Buckethead back for a couple months.If Axl guilted Ron into doing this tour above personal health and family, then fuck him.
SL138 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Im not sure but somewhere he may have said that the american leg was booked without even asking him

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Im not sure but somewhere he may have said that the american leg was booked without even asking himHe should really just leave the tour and let Axl figure out how to go on without him. It's more important that he be with his family now than anything else.Shit, maybe Ron's pissed off enough about this that he's going to quit the band after the tour's over anyway.
SL138 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 at some point I also thought that he was trying to gain fans support by explaining in detail how miserable his current life isdo they get together close on stage with bumble during these recent concerts ?axl always seems to be hangin out with DJ even on the stage
Guest ben9785 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Ron needs to think about his future, for his own health, state of mind, and so that he can continue with his music. Cruel that he didn't even know about the set of shows until they had already been booked and committed particularly considering his health.He needs to think for himself and his family. Musically I'm sure he can be much more creative/productive working of his own initiative rather than ongoing tours playing the GNR catalog. Edited December 11, 2011 by ben9785
Stro Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 at some point I also thought that he was trying to gain fans support by explaining in detail how miserable his current life isdo they get together close on stage with bumble during these recent concerts ?axl always seems to be hangin out with DJ even on the stageYes. Axl and Bumble played around just about as much as Axl and DJ. It just usually happens on the side of the stage whereas with DJ it's usual center stage during a solo or intro. Axl has almost no interaction with Richard, but Richard is in his own universe when he's playing. The idea that you can just call Buckethead in with no notice is silly. Hopefully Ron will get to take some time off at the start of the year and tend to family matters without fans being upset that the band isn't going to do a show where they live.
Kill Devil Hill Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 This is so depressing.Did anybody get video of it? My Internet was down for an hour. Nice timing.

Guest ben9785 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I think those livestream videos usually get archived but this one should be deleted. That video would get so picked apart, dissected by GNR 'fans'. Obviously in the moment he got caught up in his feelings. Hopefully he can pick up and move on and things get better.

That's his own family concern. I am sure the thoughts count enough.
The Catcher in the Rye Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 bumblefoot problems, NOT our problems, a little respect for him could be cool
DayFantasy Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Our thoughts and prayers are the only things we can do for him right now...He knows how much people care about him and the other members (at least, the most of the people, lol)
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Why do I have the feeling Bumblefoot is going to leave the band?
Flayer Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Now is not the time for pessimism or even realism. Gotta hope.
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 He'll be fine. All he has to do, is live.
gettin dizzy Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 i met ron, dj, dizzy, richard, del, and axls brother stuart on wednesday. what a great group of guys. i also watched this on livestream and was in shock. the fact he feels pushed in to this tour is absolute bullshit. and i agree they should let him be with his family. if i was him i would have left. i hope he is ok. and everything works out for him. im beyond pissed about what i just heard and witnessed
gettin dizzy Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Why do I have the feeling Bumblefoot is going to leave the band?i was thinking the same thing
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 In a perfect world we'd have time for family and work. Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world.
