RandallFlagg Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Who cares? What has he contributed other than playing other people's shit. If his shit was any good, there'd be another album after 8 years in the band.It's what he COULD'VE/MIGHT contribute that is the latent issue... just like Bucket and Finck being allowed to slink away after having given impressive as hell parts/solos to Axl tracks and MAYBE things to tracks wasting away in the fabled Axl vault. Watch this Bumblefoot guy's guitar clinics and solo tracks, firstly he knows the absolute shit out of rock/metal, he can play and even sing very passable renditions of most classics, his solo work is intriguing if nothing else... he is responsible for most of the meaningful and insightful fan interaction/band progression livewise and best interests of GNR continuing as an active entity... plus his always competent performances of the material... he is clearly as much of a dent as Buckethead in the GNR universe.

jmapelian Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If you say so. I will grant you he is the most fan friendly member of the band. But potential and passable renditions do jack for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseIRS Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Jmapelian, out of likes. But thanks for the amusement!! Bumbles awesome, but until we hear new music hes just friendly to fans and he can play the fuck out of the guitar. Can he write a good Guns tune? idk. And yes, thats probably Axls fault that we dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANANANANANA WHEMWHEMWEHMWHEMShackler's is among my least favorite songs on the album; along with all the weepy Stephanie ballads and Prostitute. Personally, I think Axl's prostituting himself and the the GnR brand by calling his current band guns n roses but that's only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dude Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Axl just tweeted a picture of 7 sausages. That must mean there are still 7 members in the band Yes, but in the other picture, there are only 4 on the plate 7 members= current GNR4 members= classic GNRA reunion is imminent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 ^ Awesome I hope Fontus is also gone. GNR can be a one guitar band like Slash always wanted. But with DJ Ashba. I'd attend this concert just for the Can you imagine the amount of "Living the dream" moments?Yes, this show would be the best comedy show in a while ^ Awesome I hope Fontus is also gone. GNR can be a one guitar band like Slash always wanted. But with DJ Ashba. I'd attend this concert just for the :lol: If a GN'R show with Ashba as the sole lead guitarist would be a trainwreck then god knows what a GN'R show with Ashba as the sole guitarist full stop would be like! Now that I think about it... I'm not laughing anymore as it would be scary. It definitely creeps me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If you don't think it's angry Axl you're not paying attention to the lyrics - seems like his response to the critics / naysayers / doubters / haters for carrying on as GnR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
