magho Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 HiI've never posted anything her before, but i've been a reader for a long time. But when i heard that new changed chinese democracy on youtube and the whole better leak (only had the 1:20 leak for a long time) i just had to post.What the fuck is up with that pointless shredding sounding like someone is playing super mario bros. That is not good music. Don't get me wrong, I love the new band and i saw them twice this summer and they rocked, but really, that nintendo-shredding sounds like som guitar-geek filming himself and putting the tape on youtube so he can show everybody how fast he can move his fingers.That's why i didn't like buckedhead (I didn't like his bucket, mask and raincoat either) and that's why i don't like bumblefoot. I know he is a good guitarist, but that sound when going through pipes in mario sunds bad.I loved slash because of his soul, I love finck because of his soul and i love richard for his soul.I don't understand why they need a guitargeek in the band when you have two amazing rockstars who can pull off everything.I know this is just one mans opinion, and I respect the band members and I also think it's up to them to decide what the music should sound like. But If chinese democracy is full of super mario shredding I'll be disappointed - it ruins the great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Two amazing rockstars yes - but they can't touch the skills of Buckethead or Bumblefoot - hence their inclusion in the band. Their technical prowess is almost unmatched throughout the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magho Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 haha, I'm not Kaneda, and I'm not negative towards the new band at all. I just don't want to think about super mario when i listen to CD.I've no problem with bumblefoot if he plays with soul, like he does on most of the old stuff.

The Sandman Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 And why does Buckethead not play with soul?I think he does sometimes..He does ALL the time. Just because you can't see his face, or he doesn't always rock out that much, is not a justification of 'playing - but not with soul'. The other thing is 'He's not this, he's not that, he's not that person' etc.It's stupid - and to say he doesn't play with soul is a plain admission you've not heard or seen his work.

magho Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I didn't say that. I said i didn't like him because of the pointless shredding. That doesn't mean he can't play with soul, because he really can.But seriously, i'll laugh if you think there's soul in that nintendo-shredding.

It can be so many different things to each person who are listening to it. For instance, if you think that bucket play with a lot of emotion, then he does, to you.. it's individual.

magho Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Shredding can be cool. Nintendo-sounding shredding is something i can laugh off on youtube, but on a Guns N Roses record it would be really sad. If you like it, I'm happy for you.Again, Shredding can be really cool, not nintendo-shredding.Please, don't take me for a basher. I defended Guns N' Roses in my camp at Roskilde this summer when everybody said it sucked. To me it was an amazing concert.And this was never tread was never supposed to be a person-bashing tread. I'm sorry for bringing that up. I support Axl and the guys 100 %, I'll buy CD and i'll probably like it anyway. But too much of that super mario shredding may be the factor that makes CD good, not amazing. But that's my opinion, and I hope you can respect that.I really like the new songs. Better, Maddy, The Blues, TWAT and Catcher are all great songs, IRS and CD is pretty decent too. I just don't hope the production and guitar-solos fucks that up.Anyway, I'm looking forward to CD, looking forward to seeing them next year in Europe and looking forward to Bruce Springsteen tonight.

If u dont like it, dont let the door hit your ass on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of effort you put into playing like that means your full heart is in it, just because you're not making poses or faces whilst you're doing it because you're putting so much effort into it does NOT mean there is no soul. Listen to Ron's song "I can't play the blues" it basically takes the piss out of all the people who say shit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I like BBF too, but I gotta agree, I don't like some of the solos he does. He absolutely kills some of the songs with that tapping shit.

PurpleHaze Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Ok for starters Buckethead has more soul and emotion than any GnR guitarist ever. End of Story.Colma, Population Override and Electric tears have more emotion than a bathtub filled with the tears of crying orphans. Then there's tracks like "I love My Parents" on other albums. Seriously, there's no argument there and I'm sick of having to discuss it.The shredding in Better is only short and is there to give a sort of outside kinda sound, it makes the song sound really weird and angry, it adds to thw atmosphere of the song and is appropriate. Now if Bucket was playing a longer solo like in TWAT or Nottingham Lace or Whitewash or whatever it is musical genius with brilliant melody. So don't bash shred when it's in context and don't bash Bucket or Ron for just playing that and nothing else because they can play any style you want with awesome virtuosity as they have displayed countless times.Honestly, I'm sick of having to tell the same obvious shit to the same ignorant morons over and over.
