GivenToFly Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Damn....In fact, make that all the lead parts, not just the solos! Edited February 14, 2014 by GivenToFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Agreed. Much more melodic, much less wheedly whee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not really. For me, Chinese Democracy is horrible because Axl's poor vocals and cheesy uninspired lyrics plus the unnecessary awful overproduction. The guitars sound great, both Buckethead and Finck did a good job with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faxl Rows Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I prefer Ron's Riad solo personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It would've been awesome if they would have recorded it as a cohesive band with the following line up:Axl,Robin,Fortus,Tommy,Pittman,Josh Freese (or Brain)I like and sometimes even love the album as it is. But it has a bit of copy-paste -feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitars sound great, both Buckethead and Finck did a good job with that.This. Robin's and BH's guitars are probably the only good aspect of the album. Everything else is awful, specially the cringeworthy lyrics and vocals. And Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I prefer Ron's Riad solo personally.I think that's the only bit where I prefer a non-Buckethead version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I use to think bucket was bad for GNR. I thought he was really far out there and his playing wasn't the right fit. Then I heard some if his solo stuff later on and wish he had stayed on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I like Finck and enjoyed his contributions to ChiDem, so the answer to this thread for me is "no" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not really, I LOVE Bucket's parts but there are so many awesome solos on the album that aren't by him. Ron and Robin both contributed a lot with their solos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I do like most of the guitars by everybody, and I really like Robin's stuff, but it would be cool to hear it with Bucket on lead and all solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evader Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Damn....In fact, make that all the lead parts, not just the solos!Let's test out the theory:http://www.sendspace.com/file/2v5hv2I do like BBF's work on Catcher, but I just had to do this after I heard Bucket's Silkie Bantam. The other Bucket track is Look Up There. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
