Silent Jay Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/garyhoey/gary-hoey-and-bumblefoot-guitar-gods-tourHi friends, I'm Gary Hoey and my friend Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal are heading on the road for the GUITAR GODS TOUR (featuring Yngwie Malmstein and Uli Jon Roth). We need your help to bring all our bandmates and crew on this crazy tour. Five weeks and 13,000 miles of bouncing around the US and Canada is no easy task when you are an independent artist. We will do anything for our fans. We had this crazy idea we could all share one rhythm section to make the tour financially possible, but Bumblefoot and I said HECK NO! We have to take our bands, that's what our fans want. Of course, this is going to cost a crap load of cash! $13,000 in fuel just for starters. paying for band, crew, insurance, food (They don't work for pizza and beer anymore) All the funds we raise will go to the expenses of this tour. And if we don't reach our goal, no one gets charged a dime. We will offer some great rewards for your support. And any pledge even $5 will get you access to the exclusive video diary from the road we will be adding often. We can't thank you enough and we hope to see you on the Guitar Gods Tour, best regards from Gary and Bumblefoot. Rock on!$100 PERSONAL MESSAGE: Need me to explain to the judge at traffic court why you were speeding? Happy birthday message? New ringtone? Will record a personal message for you. (Comes with an exclusive music bundle & access to the exclusive video diary from the road on the Guitar Gods Tour!)$1000 GUEST ON YOUR CD: Gary or Bumblefoot will play a guest solo on your next recording. Just send us an mp3 file and we will email back the hi-rez recorded solo. (Comes with an exclusive music bundle & access to the exclusive video diary from the road on the Guitar Gods Tour!)$3,000 GUITAR GOD FOR A DAY: Play a song on stage with Gary or Bumblefoot on the Guitar Gods Tour.

Broskirose Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 So let me get this straight. A relatively faceless musician from Axl Rose's backing band wants us to give him money so that he can bring the even more faceless musicians in his backing band on tour? Where do I sign up?

Apollo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Why don't the artists pay for it themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It seems a little late to be asking for cash since the tour is starting soon. Shouldn't the road expenses come out of their guarantee for the tour? If the Gn'R social media accounts get involved maybe this will do ok.

jamesrandolph Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) What's with all the negative comments? I'm not so sure artists have a lot of money these days, since the internet and downloading has come along, who still buys CDs? On one hand people are calling him a millionaire, on the other hand, people are calling him a "faceless guitarist from axl rose backing band." Anyway, I don't know how much money the guy has, but I at least thought some of these were funny and original (the things you are getting if you pay). It seems like it's for a good cause, something for the fans, and I thought most of the ideas were pretty funny and original.

tinyrobot Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 are you saying we should financially support some millionaire guitarist?I highly doubt he's a millionaire.Yeah, I know he isn't.... but compared to me, HE IS.So me giving money to the wealthy guitarist is lame.Anyways, this is the vivid proof BBF is leaving Guns N' Roses, so now that he's becoming a homeless is asking for money on the Internet.Smart pants.

Guest Gunns Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I guess this is Bumble's 'green pasture' plan after he leaves Guns, may this fuel the speculation even more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
