Tyler Drama Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Bumblefoot:Drained of passion & desire, way too many nails in the coffin on this tour. Need to get home & recharge my batteries. Love you all Why is he drained of passion and desire? Is it possible that some of these "nails in the coffin" could involve conflicts with other band members? Or maybe this is all still about the pain he's suffering from the car accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well going home & hopefully being made well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepfreeze Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I haven't been following the band at all. Was this like their last show or did they have more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonLP Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) It sounds like the dude has hit his limits. Intriguing to hear him say this after what has been quite a drama free tour. Or am I wrong?The sad thing is if he leaves, DJ Ashba is probably going to get a more dominant role, but DJ is the least gifted of the three guitaristsThe surprising bit is how little he cares what Axl thinks. It's like he's challenging the guy to fire him or something Edited July 21, 2012 by rydog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Broskirose Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My guess is that being around Ashba so long has driven him crazy. Can't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepfreeze Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sad tweet. He's a legit musician. Sad. It's like seeing a nuclear physicist work at McDonalds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgunblues1978 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 They've played 30 or so 3 hour shows in the past two months, and he's said that the rest of his life will be dictated by back pain. He is likely exhausted mentally and physically, and ready to get off the road (hence the "need to get home and recharge my batteries" part). People will read into it more deeply, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 just sounds like he is glad the tour is over since its been long, tiring and he has been hurt and needs a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonLP Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Sad tweet.He's a legit musician. Sad. It's like seeing a nuclear physicist work at McDonalds.I think that's probably how he feels. Although Richard would give him good company as well as another talented musician. DJ is better suited to Marilyn Manson, which is kind of ironic because John 5 who has worked with Marilyn Manson is a likely candidate to replace Bumblefoot I would have thought... should he leave that is.

DirtyDeeds Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't really care much about this version of the band, but I do like how he has the balls to say what he wants to say. Nobody since the HoF band has done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl_on_drums Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Not suprising at all..Bumble is a really creative guy and it must be so boring and stale being in GNR.

Nobody since the HoF band has done that.Exactly - it's refreshing to see someone that isn't a blatant 'yes man'. Someone that knows they have the talent to move on and do other things and to barely look back. He knows Axl needs him more than he needs Axl I guessNot suprising at all..Bumble is a really creative guy and it must be so boring and stale being in GNR.
