Young_Gun Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Has Axl said anything about playing with Buckethead on the new album? I don't recall...Axl told a forum member at the Versace afterparty years ago that Bucket's solo on Silkworms will blow us away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl666 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's a bit depressing thinking we could have Axl singing over songs likeSiege Engine or Soothsayer.I think DJ will be main guitarist, not because he's the best, simply because Axl likeshim the most.

RandallFlagg Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well I wouldn't mind if Bucket played some solos here and there, I don't think we have to worry about Buckethead taking song structure for a ride, Axl wouldn't go for a structure that doesn't enable him to take centre stage and display his vocals.

Cheers Well I wouldn't mind if Bucket played some solos here and there, I don't think we have to worry about Buckethead taking song structure for a ride, Axl wouldn't go for a structure that doesn't enable him to take centre stage and display his vocals.This brings up an interesting point - even if his solos are replaced, it's likely he'll still be all over the album in the rhythm sections and riffs. Think Madagascar, Scraped, and Shacklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'd say DJ Ashba...if Axl...*sigh*...chooses to get rid of the Bucket material.I wish it was Fortus and Bumble though...As do I. I think DJ is a great songwriter and song arranger but as a lead player Fortus and Ron are far more interesting. That's not to say DJ shouldn't get any solos though, just that I hope to hear lots from Ron and hopefully Fortus has something this time around too.All of this is assuming the next album is written by this line-up and not the leftover Bucket/Robin material.

oxocubeingravy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Buckethead and Finck definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Chinese Democracy wasn't just Buckethead, far from it. Robin shared equal ammo and even Ron had a fair share on solos. It wouldn't be that different in the next album unless its just Axl + Ashba and a drum machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBrownstone Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I reckon Bucket will reign supreme once again, with a smattering of Ron and DJ.Right. Axl: " DJ, i'm gonna bring in Bucket to record the new album so i don't need you during the next 2 years. I call you when we go back on the road."DJ: " But Axl, i worked so hard to get here. "Axl: Has Axl said anything about playing with Buckethead on the new album?

Lethalis Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Fortus will have more stuff on CD II, I think. Years ago I read in an interview with him that his influence on CD I was minimal, but he was writing songs for the follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) DJ...although, I hope there's some really cool stuff from Fortus and Bumble too! Edited February 1, 2012 by jekylhyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There is no main lead guitarist. There is the virtuoso and the blues guy. I think Axl is just going to use whatever guitar parts sound the best. I would like to think Finck and Bucket are locked in on some songs. Axl just likes to include everyone who is there. Brain replaced all of Josh's drumming even though a lot of it was Josh arrangements, Brain consider himself a member instead of a hired hand anyway, Ron is on all of the rythmn tracks, and Frank is on a few tracks. On the other hand just getting DJ on the album is a waste of time. Save him for a new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think Buckethead & Finck are going to be a lot less evident on this album than CD. Here and there OK, especially on the big, out there titles; but I think Dj, Ron & Fortus are replacing (in Ron's case has) a lot of those efforts with alterations &/or new takes. Which in a sense is a shame because I think CD was a 1999 album (Finck, Huge) and II is/was more 2002 (Buckethead, Finck, Fortus). I mean there's still the possibility Axl will release a largely Bucket/Finck/Fortus album & make Dj/Ron wait further to dictate their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I also think Axl's role in this area is betlittled. I believe he coaxes the riffs out of the players/& encourages them into a specific vibe perhaps with a template vibe he's put together himself. Sort of like "Here's the scent, find the donut".

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Fortus didn't really do much on Chinese Democracy. His role was really no different than Paul's.I agree with you on Axl, he has that sound in his head and he gets it out of he players.

Me and DJ really, really, really don't have the same taste in music Really dig him live though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and DJ really, really, really don't have the same taste in music Really dig him live though.It's easy to strike poses & learn Slash's stuff but not that easy to come up with such riffsThat's where Slash is amazing rock2Ron's Estranged is close to Slash's but has he ever come up with something that spectacular? NO!!!Unfortunately I feel that current band can only imitate not createThat's why I miss Bucket & Robin Edited February 1, 2012 by Iras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
