SONOFABITCH Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Bumblefoot is the most talented guitarist Guns N Roses have ever had.If you mean making a guitar sound like a star wars laser gun - yes. If you are talking about riffs to compliment Axl vocals/lyrics, I say hell no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacfantasy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 i always liked Buckethead in NuGNR it just felt like a perfect fit for Axl, he just felt like the right kind of guitarist of course skill wise but also mystique wise for the NuGNR atmosphere.Man I miss those mysterious NuGNR days :*( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about riffs to compliment Axl vocals/lyrics, I say hell no.You have a valid point, yes. He is a great technical player, no one can deny that.But, similar to Buckethead, he has a very different style.Personally I think he has an awesome talent, but opinions vary.I say Richard Fortus rules.

If you are talking about riffs to compliment Axl vocals/lyrics, I say hell no.I am almost willing to agree with you, but I will wait until I hear music Bumblefoot has helped write. I feel it is too soon to reject him based on his solo career and his contributions to already written songs off CD. There's no doubt he COULD do it, but I am afraid he lacks the proper attitude to write great rock and roll riffs, it is all just a bit cheesy and eclectic and too much notes. But I look forward to having to eat my words. I just wish new music would be riff based, and not piano based. Axl is GREAT at adding vocal melodies and lyrics to riffs, it doesn't have to be the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that Axl has always been a great inspiration for the other band members (new and old). He just has that ability to play something or sing something that sparks that one guitar solo or sound in whole. That's how I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bonham Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Slash and Jimmy Page in the same sentence. "November Rain" is the longest song to reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.The song is listed at number six in the The 100 Greatest Guitar Solos list by Guitar World.Like him or not, Slash is a rock guitar legend and has had hits in the '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s and he's not done yet. Considering the sheer number of memorable riffs and solos he's responsible for -- and as a clean & sober workaholic it's safe to say that his career will continue for years --- I think Slash and Jimmy Page's names can be used in the same sentence.

However, in the same sentence as Page/Coverdale- yeeeeah maybe. Slash's right-handed picking technique, particularly his pick scraping/dragging style during solos, was a key component of Guns n Roses classic sound. Combined with his signature legato'd runs and adept riff writing, Slash carved a definable place in guitar god history. Nonetheless, I still think he's yet to crack Page/Blackmoore/Beck/Townshend territory in the pantheon of guitar deities. Slash still owns a piece of the Guns n Roses name, in the hearts and minds of a significant percentage of the GnR fanbase. Whether that's a blessing or a curse has yet to be determined.

Apollo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 All GnR needs to succeed is Axl.End of story.There's no GN'R without Slash, Duff and Izzy.While you might believe that....heck, millions of people might believe it.......but tbh, I don't really think the name of a band is important, so I couldn't care less what people think the "real" GnR is. I'm more interested in hearing material that Axl has helped create and that he is singing on. What the name of the band is really shouldn't matter.A name is just a name. Nothing more.The songs are all I care about.I want to hear Axl singing. The rest if his band isn't that interesting to me.I think that is how a lot of people feel, but I have comew to appreciate Fortus and Bumble, Stinson, what eves. Just really good music, and I thought that was what is is about, no?Oh, I like the band. And really hope Axl gives them a chance to stand on their own feet.I just meant that I'm a fan because of Axl. I would buy his albums no matter who the backing band was. But I would love for Axl to give the current guys a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
