bran Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 This will either be one of the lowest-attended AMA's ever, or it'll be canceled due to lack of interest, like last time.no amount of preperation H will cure your butthurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm in the airport, and all I hear on the sound system here is Bumblefoot's "Abnormal" on repeat, with the occasional IRS and TWAT. He's so huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunder Monkey Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Bumble is a fantastic guy and I've got nothing but love for him.However, I can also see that it is likely an "Ask Me Anything" would put him in an awkward position.The problem as I see it is that he is of interest to three groups of people:1. Guitar Heads and Fans of his solo career. (These people already have already had many chances to ask him guitar questions etc as he's very open with the public)2. Fans of the new GNR (These people will want to ask him detailed info about new GNR plans that he's said previously he's not the guy to be revealing) 3. Fans of the old GNR (These people will either be hostile to him, or, just want to use him for info about Axl's personal life etc)I just worry the topics he'd get asked would be stuff like:*Evidence of Axl's potential emotional state or potential psychological issues etc* Concrete details about new songs and what they're like etc* Firm plans for 2014* Private stuff - like exactly who in GNR bullied him? Who likes who? Etc etc.No disrespect to bumble, he's great, I'm just saying I can agree that an "ask me anything" sounds like a risky endeavour when it seems most things fans want to know about the band are either unknown to bumble also or are things he can't actually answer without angering someone else in the organisation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Does he realize what AMA stands for?Cuz lemme tell ya, reddit isn't a GNR fan forum. I myself will get on there and ask him VERY difficult questions about axl, about how bumby is clearly in it just for money, how does it feel to make a living off of slash's work, etc.No one in reddit fucking cares about Argentinian Tango or Abnormal or any other completely worthless shit tha bumby has done alone. He's a Slash cover artist. No more, no less.Wow, what an asshole. That's what he's gonna tell ya. Edited December 21, 2013 by Chewbacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So other than general musicianship anecdotes (of which bumble is a great musician) I can't see him being able to answer the kind of questions he'd be asked. So it does seem that "Ask me Anything" could turn into a misnomer for the event! Edited December 21, 2013 by Chunder Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm excited for this. I always love reading the music AMA's, and occasionally getting a question answered.Snoop Dogg/Lion has the best AMA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 arnold schwarzenegger does awesome AMAs.i could definitely see this backfiring, but that's why i'm giving ron respect for putting himself out there like this. who knows - we could get some pretty interesting revelations...i'm looking forward to it.i will say this though, if he doesn't budge on the GN'R-related questions, they'll turn on him pretty fast and it could get nasty. as others have already pointed out here... just look at that woody harrelson AMA. curious to see how it all pans out for sure.

No more, no less.To be fair, I'm prretty sure loud and rather obnoxious majority of reddit is of wrong mental generation to have much of an opinnion about GNR to any which way. They don't know/remember the band as it was in it's prime, they certainly don't care about CD and they have absolutely no clue why they should like or mislike guy who has chosen to be known as Bumblefood.I mean, BF doesn't by default radiate this insuffrable wrogness like the whoring hashtag man. Typical reddit user(regardless of age, perhaps) is absolutely obsessed with having finger on pulse of 'now'. No incarnation of GNR exactly fits the bill. Lust for knowledge, camp and nostalgia in undercurrents of that place get ignited by Snowden, Playstaion 2 and Offspring, not by GNR. - - - > The chat will be crowded by same GNR fans as it would be should he keep the chat here.Uhh actuually with that in mind, it's gonnabe an interesting chat lol. It takes kahunas to pull it off in reddit. hats off to bumble in that regard.Hat goes back on when he fails to provide a single informative satisfying answer to a single question about the band. it is gonna be interesting if you are curious about guitar tech or want to kiss his ass. it is not gonna be interesting if you want to hear something interesting about GNR.Also willing to bet my 5 dollars against your 50 that chat happpens cause Bumble announces he is no longer in GNR.

You said it yourself, the generation that most Redditors come from don't have much of an opinion about GN'R. I'd be very surprised to see any serious number of questions regarding the future of GN'R.

LTD Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hmm yeah true.But then, maybe big GNR news suddenly hit us on 26th! Slash is back, reunion imminent! -> Chat in reddit scheduled for 27st. Safe to give the date for chat weeks in advance, no need to hint at climate it is held in, and news about to fall on 26th. I don't believe in any of that but I think this is how bands who do stuff operate nowadays. At least bands who are acceptable to like by reddit's karmahivemind.

GnR Chris Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Who cares? The only one I wanna hear from in Guns N' Roses is Axl Rose. Bumble is just gonna give vague or passive-aggressive responses to anything we care to ask about the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Could be interesting. I hope he doesn't get trolled too badly.I'm not sure of his motivation for doing this though. It seems like a difficult and vulnerable time to expose himself like this. He's just lost his father - first Christmas without him etc...plus he's done a few controversial interviews which no doubt will be fresh is people's minds and probably feed a lot of the questions he gets asked. He isn't stupid, he will be perfectly aware of this. All makes me a bit hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, others were name calling, but many people were making some of the same points which all still stand and have nothing to do with any sort of popularity contest I'm certain Ron isn't concerned with winning.

Subtle Signs Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't know too much about Reddit but it seems like the only way this can go well for Ron is if the AMA is invaded by the hardcore fans who swing from the nuts of anyone Axl hires to be in GNR.
