SWINGTRADER Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Ron seems like the person that could be the spokesman for GNR to the fans . He seems to really enjoy interacting with the fans and that is cool since Axl seems to hate it . I'm happy he's in the band ,Buckethead was too much of a freak and I'm glad GNR is no longer a circus.

Moop Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah, I can really say that Ron is a really great contribution to GN'R so far. Too bad he'll be replaced by Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eschman Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 This guy that I work with at Carrs... I mentioned him before because he was in a mag article with Buckethead back at the start of his career... had a correspondence with Ron when he was younger. Says he just mailed Ron with some questions about some stuff that Ron played, and ron mailed him back. He really likes Thal, thinks he's a great player, and a great guy for kinda teaching him some guitar stuff through mail correspondence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyguy Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Just saw Ben Litchman on Conan O'brien. He is a huge Bumblefoot fan and even took lessons with him and played live with him harmonizing guitar solos and stuff. He sent his rendition of the Late Night theme and Conan just asked him to come and play it on the show.Pretty cool week Ron it seems.
