hypersonic Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I say get either richie kotzen/marty friedman/paul gilbert, they can do all the tapping fast stuff and bluesy soulful stuff too.I'd like to see slash back, but that aint never gonna happen. If they get a 3rd guitarist it better be someone cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyGnR Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) I really do get the feeling that there is no replacement for Buckethead. GnR have two very capable guitar players in Robin Finck and Richard Fortus who are both able to switch between playing lead and rhythm. Fortus proved to me on the 2002 tour that he can play, and I'm basing most of that on his November Rain solo at Boston.In fairness there's no real need for a 3rd guitarist. The band are more than able to play with these 2, and I always felt that having 3 guitarists was a bit too much.HarleyGnR Edited April 7, 2006 by HarleyGnR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Niveen Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 When Paul Tobias left, he was replaced by Richard Fortus.When Buckethead left in 2004, GNR had to cancel RIR.And all of a sudden, GNR don't need 3 guitarists anymore ? It looks odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damcka Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 think the guitarist if one is needed couldn't be a household name like paul gilbert, michael angelo etc. etc.although i think john 5 maybe a good idea, he is certainly good enough...and is also used to being more of a hired hand because i thought that the only "real" members of marilyn manson were twiggy ramirez and manson himselfdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what's needed, but also I think he would add a lot of great riffs of his own if included in future recordings. Plus he plays a Tele usually, that's extra points right there. He's really versatile too, can shred or play a country tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshRiot Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 i just wento to john 5's official webpage, and yes the pope is catholic. the guy can shred and has a nice collections of LP. i've seen him live with manson and rob zombie. he seems like a really nice guy and he does have the fingers for it. so he would be a great pick imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypersonic Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'm sorry but if they can't get out and play with 2 guitarists they have no hope (speaking as a guitarist myself and i'm the only guitarist in my band). Fortus has the soul in his playing for stuff like nov rain, finck is a better rhythm player than a lead player in my book, didnt care for his vibrato at all, but i'm only judging them for interpretation of older material. I dont care how many layers Axl and co have of guitars, if the songs are good they'll speak for themselves without all the candy.If they really need another guy get a guitarist that can rip, thats why i mentioned those guys at the start of the thread.John 5 is contracted to zombie i think at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar81 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) a 3rd guitar player? Edited April 7, 2006 by rockstar81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippin Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I've said it before and i'll say it again....there is no need for 3 guitarists in GnR. So what if in the past, there have been times when they have had 3. Everything revolves around Axl's vocals...not layers upon layes of guitar. Finck and Fortus are sufficient....Trust me, they'll ROCK LIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenzz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Why do you guys all assume you know whether GNR needs 3 guitarists or not. I'm pretty sure that if Axl decided he needed 3 guitarists, it was for a reason. You haven't heard the new material and you have no idea so stop pretending you do.

chicagocoma13 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Jake E Lee. If anyone has heard the first Badlands album it contains some of the most bluesy, Zeppelin sounding guitar riffs I have ever heard. He also played for Ozzy and can Shred too. I would love Dave Navarro too but I think he was offered the spot and declined. Billy Corgan playing leads in GNR would be interesting too. He is very Queen influenced. There are tons of Queen chords on Siamese Dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
