prettytiedup88 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was never a fan of Buckethead in GNR. Yes he is a very unique player and I have some time and appreciation for his work but the bloke wears a KFC bucket on his head and rocks around wearing a mask doing the robot. He's a grade A wack-job that made Axl's vision of GNR look like a joke. I maintain if at the VMA's he'd come out with the current line up people would have been more forgiving.That version of the band was comprised of a few (talented) bizzare looking misfits that did nothing to further the GNR legacy.

Guest NGOG Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Would you sit around your wife with a kfc bucket on your head and a mask on you?Can you imagine yourself inside a chicken coop in your own bedroom in front of your wife for example?Bucket is Brian Carroll when with his family.

Facekicker Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Lol at Axl Rose fans dissing Buckethead because he might have a psychological disorder. Whatever next? Charles Manson accusing Kim Jong Un of being a lunatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 His work on that song (and basically everything but Shackler's) is a solo that he added on after the song was already done. Session musician. I'm not taking anything away from him, I think he's a great guitarist and I'd love nothing more than for him to come back, but the fact is he had very little to do with the composition of the songs, and his work with the band can likely be summed up in a few studio sessions laying down guitar solos.The session musician point is a semantic. Can you deny that Buckethead enhanced the project in every way? Shackers is probably the best rocker on there easy.'his work with the band can likely be summed up in a few studio sessions laying down guitar solos.'I assume therefore you must have had an opportunity to listen to wealth of other songs from those sessions?

Guest Gunns Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 bucket was the best thing to happen newgnr,he pushed Axl creatively and as a result, Axl now has a wealth of 'big guns' in his vault, and some of them appear on CD.I can see Ron potentially pushing Axl creatively, but not in the same vain as Bucket.

Eu4ic Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Obviously Axl didnt think BH's "gimmick" was a problem. BH was and is an amazing guitarist. I'd take Axl and BH together over the current GNR in a heartbeat. Axl, BH, Izzy, Duff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any substance to form an argument over.I don't assume a wealth of material exists. I know because Axl/Tommy/Ron/Bach/Chris/Dizzy/Richard/Brain/Dj/Brian May/Merck/Tom Zutaut/Kerrang/Classic Rock/Skwerl/MSL/to name but a few have all confirmed this as a matter of fact. It's the only thing the band have an overriding consensus on.You can't dismiss Bucket's time in GN'R because you have only heard a fraction of his contributions (a mere 2 songs from the 2004 record were rotated onto the first release).

Everyone was clowning Axl, not the line up. Wearing those braids and not sounding so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Bucket has more talent in his scrotum than Tommy does in his whole body. Bucket even outplays Tommy on bass!I think we all know, anyone could have filled Tommy's shoes in the current GN'R role. While not being very GN'R, Buckethead and Robin Finck are the best things about Chinese Democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 THe Bucket/Brain/Finck line-up was magical in their own way. Tommy must had felt like an amateur dealing with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) From personal experience Tommy is a wanker of a person (a real rabid drunk) but I actually really like his solo records so couldn't question his musicanship.

izzygirl Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He is a legend. Time magazine said so and Broski convinced me about it in another site. His liver hates him but the rest of us should love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
