Nosaj Thing Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hopefully he'll stop wasting his talents and have some artistic integrity for once and quit. If the band you're in doesn't release music, get the fuck out.This is mere speculation but why if he hasn't quit because of the contract conditions he agreed to?I would fully support his departure, he's a great guitarist, I'm not too fond of his solo music or particular style but no one can deny the talent and knowledge he has.

wasted Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 time is a flat circle. is that nietsche? shut the fuck up. I don't think that had good by rotten all over it. he said until next time.

Axlspants Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ron is an awesome guitarist and plays the shit out of Estranged in particular. He would seem to be a heart on his sleeve type of guy and this message demonstrates that. He cleary gets pissed off with a few things in the GnR world but is that enough to quit? I doubt it, we all need money and he's most likely on a good wedge when the band is active, bet it pays for a nice house for him and his family. At the end of the day you don't get that good on the guitar unless you love playing it, he's getting paid to do that so I think he'll put up with Cashba and Axl. Plus I do think he has the interest of us GnR fans close to his heart too and he doesn't want to quit and let us down....but mainly he loves those chqs and who can blame the fella.

If it was up to me the band would only tour two years between records, but this is completely irrelevant to my point that it is not up to "SlashisGOD" to decide when Bumblefoot should stop enjoying being in GN'R.

dalsh327 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't know if Yngwie's tour has been completely booked yet, but it's just from mid June to the beginning of July. It sounds like GNR won't be doing any touring this summer unless they get a call to do a festival. Kind of surprised no private shows or last minute "off the beaten path" club shows happened in South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so he's making good money (maybe) to do all of this, but at some point you have to decide if you'd rather be a nostalgia act or be a relevant band that puts out new music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Bumblefoot has demonstrated that he is able to BOTH tour GN'R's back catalogue AND release music in other bands and as a solo artist, so think you miss the mark with many miles.

In other words, for projecting one's own feelings/motivations/sentiments onto another human being and then criticizing that person for not acting in accordance with the projection. You get it?

SoulMonster Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 He never said BBF shares the same feelings as him. And stop quoting me."If the band you're in doesn't release music, get the fuck out." This displays a failure to understand that people may reap joy from being in a band despite not releasing new music. In other words, he is projecting his own subjective values in regards to being in a band onto another person and expects that other person to act in accordance with these values. It is projection.

magisme Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 BBF is probably unhappy because a new album is still a remote possibility. I'm sure if Axl came out and stated in no uncertain terms that there will be no NuNuNu album, BBF would be a perfectly contented employee. Outlandish theories like his wanting to release music make me laugh. Clear projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't get why Axl is such a puss about releasing music. Fear and self doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
