KeyserSoze Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/bumblefoot-art-of-anarchy-is-not-competition-or-a-threat-to-any-of-our-other-projects/Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal has confirmed that his ART OF ANARCHY project will likely employ a new vocalist when and if the band hits the road later in the year.In addition to the GUNS N' ROSES guitarist, the recording lineup for ART OF ANARCHY's first CD included ex-STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland and DISTURBED bassist John Moyer. The rest of the lineup is filled out by Jon Votta on guitar and Vince Votta on drums. The group's debut disc will arrive this spring.In a statement on his Facebook page posted only hours after the ART OF ANARCHY project was first announced, Weiland minimized his involvement with the group, explaining: "I just saw some press about a side project called ART OF ANARCHY that I worked on last year. I wrote and put my vocals down for these guys and had fun doing a couple of videos too. We had a lot of fun. When they find their frontman to hit the road and play some dates, check them out."In an exclusive statement to Rolling Stone, Thal wrote that "ART OF ANARCHY is not competition or a threat or interference to what any of us are doing — it's a complement, an addition, one I'm proud of creatively."He continued: "[There is] no need to minimize or undermine or devalue a project we all worked on together over the course of two years."I enjoyed working with Scott. And I'm looking forward to [the SCOTT WEILAND AND] THE WILDABOUTS album release, the Bumblefoot album release, and the ART OF ANARCHY album release. The more music the better, it's what we do, right? Artists do collaborations and a month later, their own album comes out. This is normal stuff. All good. :)"Thal added: "The five of us made an album together. Scott is currently the singer of the band. It's in writing; no confusion. But yes, Scott's solo album and tour are his priority and we're all on the same page about getting another vocalist if ART OF ANARCHY hits the road. But we don't need to cross that bridge just yet. Taking everything as it comes, one step at a time, letting it evolve organically. Where it goes from here (and with who!) is yet to be seen."ART OF ANARCHY is the brainchild of Thal and the Votta brothers, who have been friends for 18 years dating back to their days on the New York music scene.

I think he's specifically holding back from making an announcement just to keep his options open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any knucklehead can see the potential issues of the 2 albums coming out in the same timeframe. I was under the impression that musicians/bands do an album roughly every 2 years ( and not more frequently ) partly because that's kinda how it works out with the media/press giving you publicity, obviously being in 2 bands splits the attention.

IncitingChaos Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So can we confirm that since 2006 It has been Bumble that has complicated GNR more than Axl? He's coming across as an over ambitious liar! First this new band AOA is going to 'wake rock up' and now it's just a side project. Axl's had to deal with his big mouth for 9 years! No wonder GNR couldn't properly retake off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoePerry954 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) It makes perfect sense. Finally leave Axl the prima Donna after 8 years, then hook up with Scott Weiland the human train-wreck who does nothing but complicates things.Weiland was born to cupcake ex GNR members LOL.Thank you Weiland by take care of him. We now believe even more! Edited January 23, 2015 by JoePerry954 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Bumblefoot produced and played on the AOA album, same with the new runDMC/Exodus album. It's all side projetcs, and doesn't mean he is out. GNR is on hiatus right now.I'm happy for BBF, with the solo record, it's a productive and excited year for him.

Intercourse Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Amazing how BBF is a whinge for wanting Axl to do the right thing...Blind devotion is a mental illness for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just needing a creative outlet. Believe it or not but writing on your own all the time gets boring/frustrating. He got a chance to write an album with some other musicians and took it. It's what he's wanted to do for years after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER PT Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) he doesnt mention gnrYes he does:The more music the better, it's what we do, right?

EvH Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This can only mean one thing...Pit(t)man is going to sing lead when Art of Anarchy starts touring. This is the end of Nü GNR. Obviously, an Appetite reunion is on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just. Embarrassing.I can just imagine Bumblefoot's consternation when being informed of Scott's Facebook post where the assumed frontman and singer of your new band distanced himself as much as possible from it only hours after the band has been presented to the world, by referring to it as "these guys" and that it was only a "fun" "side project", and then having to think out how to spin this for the media. As usual, Bumblefoot did good but there really is not way for him to not make this a farce. Ouch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
