ZODIAC Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, Illusion1987 said: Seriously....how fun is it going to be to listen to a new album where you've already heard 85% of the songs? Isn't one of the great things about hearing a new album is hearing a whole NEW collection of songs at once and slowly navigating through the album? This drip feed strategy Sucks! Well... It was the same with CD. If you want a new album with songs you've never heard before, you have to resist listening to the leaks, I guess...

Yeah after 3 years of whining and criticising the band yet still getting paid. Ironic that the most irritating outspoken member that couldn't stop slagging them off was the one who didn't get fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we've been here before. this is at least the third time you've made pretty much the same post. Someone mentions Bumble and you naturally post about how he was annoying and how he cried a lot and didn't appreciate what being in Gn'R allowed him to have. what a fun loop. I have no issues with you disliking Bumble, but was it all negative? he cared a lot about Gn'R fans and gave it his all but like I said, we've been through this already. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Btw, did you know? According to his FB conversation, he was one foot out the door as early as 2012. https://postimg.cc/WtVPsC9Y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My summaries of BBF wanting out of GN'R: BUMBLEFOOT IS UNCOMFORTABLE IN GUNS N' ROSES NOVEMBER 2011 (?): BUMBLEFOOT TRIES TO DRINK HIMSELF TO DEATH NOVEMBER 20, 2011: WILKES BARRE; BUMBLEFOOT IS "ONE CONVERSATION AWAY FROM QUITTING" JULY-SEPTEMBER 2012: "FUCK GNR"; THE TOURING ITINERARY IS HARD ON BUMBLEFOOT NOVEMBER 2013: BUMBLEFOOT THREATENS TO LEAVE GUNS N' ROSES But yes, he did a lot of good for GN'R. He had many good ideas and was extremely fan friendly. A solid guy, Bumblefoot, but not a great fit with GN'R. Maybe that's why. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 19 minutes ago, JimiRose said: ££££££ $$$$$$$$$ Sure, money was likely a big part of it, and exposure. The exposure was likely very important. But I also think he found aspects of it very satisfying and fun, like meeting fans, the prospect of making new GN'R music, and to some extent he likely didn't want to be a quitter and had job integrity and wanted to be a team player and all that. He was torn. But yeah, in hindsight he probably should have left earlier, and he will likely agree to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Obviously he'll have signed all sorts of NDAs so it won't happen, but I would absolutely love to hear Bumblefoot's stories from his time in GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Years ago, I asked Bumblefoot about the prized version of Shackler's Revenge with Buckethead's solo. His answer was not appropriate, my question certainly struck a nerve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if it was here or the old CD dot com forum. He said something like: "It's on the tip of my cock, so check the back of your throat." 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledge Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 As I've said many times Ron was my favourite pre-reunion member. In social media messages always flattering to Buckethead and Slash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonizedmind Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The NDA's are probably only in action during Axl's lifetime...or sooner, they can't last forever, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I wouldn't have signed any NDA that would extend more than 5 years beyond whatever activity I'm to be involved in. I know, I know, we don't know shit about the behind-the-scenes reality... but still. This is lame. We need more info, on anything and everything! I think a natural courtesy and gratitude towards Axl actually also plays a huge role here. I mean, BBF, BH or DJ may have quite a number of fans, but their fame had never reached beyond certain limits. And suddenly, the whole world knew who they were. You couldn't get better advertisement or promotion. Plus they're long gone from the band and do their own thing, so why stir any waters and risk someone (Axl) getting pissed off at you for spilling some private beans. They certainly have no reason to risk anything like that for a bunch of internet lunatics. Edited January 19 by jamillos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course, it must have been basically some boilerplate, take it or leave it agreement. I just wonder whether one day we’ll get some real first-hand insight into the CD era, at least partially, something like the Chinese Whispers web but from one of the musicians. How cool would that be. But then, we also might be waiting for this for 30 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the best chance of it happening is that in the future maybe Axl will be in the mood to talk about it some more, at the very least. his china exchange interview comments about being interested in writing an autobiography but being unable to do it cause he doesn't want to hurt Slash's feelings or whatever makes me think that he's the type to want to share his history and a big part of it is the Chinese era. maybe when enough time has passed cause it seems like it wasn't a fun experience for Axl. I'm optimistic that it will eventually happen, but maybe in the distant future, like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
