vaida Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) If BF quit, they'd find a new player. That's how GN'R has always worked. Adler out, Sorum in, Izzy out Gilby in, Buckehead out BF in etc. As for the 'sound' it don't really matter.. as the classic GN'R sound died the moment Slash, Duff quit and Axl got old. That's life, things move on Edited May 2, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Maybe a temporary replacement? Just until BBF gets proper medical attendance and feels better. Couple of months would be enough for him to recover and at least don't cry on stage? I really feel sorry for him. Fuckin' car accident man!

Chris 55 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Axl got old. There's not one person alive who hasn't gotten older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm sure if bumble needed time off, robin would fill in for him. But the problem comes about that bumble isn't getting better, so chances are he probably wouldn't be able to return. It's sad because he's my favorite member, besides axl.

chevelle Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'd prefer that too, but then again, I'm not going to any of the shows on the tour so it's easier for me to say that. But the guy really just needs to take a year off and get his fucking back sorted, he shouldn't just try to keep soldiering on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcountry Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) To me Bumble would be hardest of the 3 to replace.He does basically all the shredding and can also play the old stuff with feeling.I bet all you people that say they better not cancel and that you would be pissed, If you had a physical injury that your job was just making worse you would most likely say I have to take off to get this fixed.Things like this are the same for all people doing all different kinds of work, Bumbles job is to play on stage in front of X amount of people. Does that make his injury any different from anyone else, no they are one in the same when comes right down to it.Pain is pain no matter how you look at it.I hope all goes well and the tour goes as planned and for Bumble to be healthy enough to go through it without too much trouble, but if he can't that is part of normal everyday life.

Apollo Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Don't worry people. Beta will know what the best route is for GnR to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyzero Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Let Bumble stay at home and recover and go ahead with the tour. Just take a few songs out of the set: ex. Estranged, Shackler's Revenge, and replace them with a few songs that don't require shredding or feature Bumble so much. It will be fine and the fans will understand.

omg1999 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 is there actually a reason for this post existing?

sailaway Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Cancel a tour because BBF can't be there???pfff .. I could see if it was Slash or Izzy or someone who mattered. But you could replace BBF with just about any swingin dick and you still wouldn't have gnr, regardlessnice, another retard on mygnrYeah,they are multiplying like cockroaches and almost as smart I support Bumble to make his own decisions whatever they may beCorrect, It's his call, you guys thrive on Drama.

wasted Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 drama mama lady no limit. I wonder if they could pull off a tour without Ron, strip back a few songs, skip a few. It might be a bit shaky on the CD stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin' Demon Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 If Bumblefoot can't do it, I say bring someone else with experience to fill in. Zakk Wylde would be nice but one can bet that the likelihood to that is slim to none.What about Slash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Earlier I would have said cancel the tour, but Bumblefoot's tweets the other night made it clear that he would rather be playing than moping around and that playing music is his own form of therapy.

Todo Poderoso Timão Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I wish Bumble the best, but Buckethead is more than welcome to play! Axl and GN'R have enough gaps/hiatus in recent history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno P. Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Nothing played in GNR is that mind bogglingly crazy that a competent professional musician couldn't handle it.You sure? Find one, just one Shackler's or Riad performance that has the solo being played the way Ron plays it. Just... one, nothing else. Or maybe Chinese's fretless slides, or Scraped solo... or Chinese solo/outro, I.R.S. solo... whatever. The only person that I've ever seen playing Buckethead's stuff note per note flawlessly was Ron (Richard does some of his solos too, but not the hardest ones) - most covers sound average at best, a few sound great and they rarely play like Bucket, and when they do pratically all of them have a lot of flaws. So yea, I guess that playing like Ron or Bucket can be very, very complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
