Superhuman55 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) 1. Slash2. Bumble3. BucketThe fact is......the latter guys wouldn't have anything to play if it wasn't for Slash. It's as simple as that.Plus, Slash is a better musician. Edited June 1, 2006 by Superhuman55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) Ron's nightrain outro was very disappointing. Axl may as well have gotten Michael Angelo to play the goddamn thing. I think Buckethead can come up with some beautiful melodies, Ron is clearly obsessed with tapping, sweeping, shredding and fucking gay bends. I agree with DCK82. Buckethead's solos in all of the leaks are unique and impressive. Listen to how lost the TWAT 99 version sounds without buckethead's outro solo. That solo, and his madagascar solo sends chills down my spine. Edited June 1, 2006 by glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadlaser Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 i just picked up bumblefoot's album, hands, finally completing my collection. i can not believe how good the title track is. he lures you in with a lighthearted, catchy blues guitar riff, then procedes to get darker and darker where the guitar reminds me of a cross between johnny cash and metallica. the hook is catchy in a twisted sort of way, that's where i got the lyrics in my sig from.then there's the solo... man... i'll try explaining it. think final fantasy, think final fantasy FAST. this is simply the best fast solo of all time. every single note makes perfect sense. you know how listening to the estranged solo can give you chills? ronnie manages to do this while shredding, a feat (IMO) never accomplished before.it's so fucking good.

SylvesterStallone Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 bumblefoot is much better and much cooler!You'd probably be cool with Axl replacing the lead guitarist with Carrothead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyrose Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Before Guns'n'roses were the whole band!Now Guns'n'roses is only Axl...And about the guitarists-Slash is the man who's gonna stay at people's hearts... rock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Slash is one of a kind--- There are 100 other guitar players like Bumble and Bucket. I liked Richards solos the best in Rio. He was really scrorching like old GNR. More of a raw feel like Slash. I wish they would stick to only 2 guitar players. Won't be as many sound problems at the board as well.

asian Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 In my opinion, Slash was the best fit for Guns N Roses as far as style and appearance.However, I think that Bumblefoot is a great addition to the new Guns N Roses. He's a great guitar player and his style fits very well.My favorite solo guitar player is Buckethead. He can play all different styles of guitar and is an amazing guitar player. I think a lot of people don't like him purely because of his look. I'm not saying that he was a better fit for GNR than Bumblefoot or even a better technical player than Bumblefoot; he's just my personal favorite for a solo guitar player.

mr.drummin Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Easily better than Bucket. I never thought I would say this, he is very similar to Slash so... Dare I say it?Bumblefoot is as good as modern-day Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericisbacchus Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Easily better than Bucket.Nope.Here's one thing NOT to do: start a thread pondering the question "When will Bumblefoot leave GNR?"I must have struck a nerve with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTHAFA Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Bumble doesn't compare at all. Not as a guitarist or as a person.What I mean by that is.. Slash and Buckethead, like Axl, are really almost "larger than life" figures. They are musicians that people will go out of their way to pay money to see. They are guys who you really can't take your eyes off of if you watch them perform.Ron Thal is just.. Ron Thal. Nobody knows who he is, nobody really cares. 95% of music fans want Slash back in GnR, the other 4% were fine with Buckethead, and that last 1% doesn't even realize that the original GnR is broken up.So essentially.. Thal is a bum that nobody cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burocks Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I thought Ron was awesome at this show. He's come a long way from the first Hammerstein show (where he had seemed overwhelmed by it all and stayed glued to the side of the stage). He's now moving around the stage a lot more -- and is quite charismatic onstage, which is cool. I also thought he was EXTREMELY smart to add "Don't Cry" to his solo. Brilliant! He had been under alot of criticism from fans for his weak guitar solos during the Hammerstein shows -- and this change was very very smart. Well done Ron!My only criticism - please lose the hat Ron. I mean - really - a ski hat in the Summer? You have great hair under that hat, so why hide it? As for comparing Ron with Slash - or anybody else for that matter - why would you want to do that? They're two different musicians with different styles and different energy. Like comparing apples and oranges. Can we - for once - not bring former GNR members into a discussion about a current GNR show?I was reading your post and you've got some good comments but why do you and everybody else on this forum care what the musician's wear?Who cares if he's got a hat on - he can wear whatever the hell he wants.And if you do want to talk about fashion sense, long stringy hair is a thing of the past. It's now reserved for trailer trash and wearing a ski hat brings a modern element.Slash wears a top hat all year long for crying out loud. Who does that - Abe Lincoln? I don't hear anybody complaining about that.I'm just saying leave the fashion remarks to the people who write US and People magazine and concentrate on the music.Critisism like that is why band memebers get uncomfortbale onstage and don't put out albums.And it's not just you, it's everybody who posts.If you love this band so much and want to see them do well and want them to put on kickass shows and want them to put out an album, then give them your support. Sorry I don't mean to take this out on you but I've just seen a lot of similiar remarks on this forum about the band and it's bearing on my nerves.Just enjoy the band for what they are and the more you give them props, the better they will get. That I'm sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
