angel of music Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I like Bumble, but somehow he's my least favorite of the 3 guitarists.. i think he improvises a lot sometimes, TWAT live, although obviously you can't compare it to the demo as it's been played only twice, fails mostly because of Ron's playing, too much improvisation, and i spot some other songs with the same problemnow, that being said, he does a great job in the NR outro and the Don't Cry solo, that's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_rose Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ok, short and sweet topic. I've waited to the end of the tour before casting my opinion, but Bumblefoot......I'm just not a fan. Don't get me wrong, I've tried, and I know the guy is an amazing musician - but nothing he has contributed to the band in a live setting has blown me away (with the exception of Don't Cry). His presence is total overkill.One thing this tour has certianly cemented is just how good the combo of Finck and Forus are, amazing team and super stage presence (my opinion of Finck has shot straight up after hearing him live, the 'sloppy' criticism's are seriously unwarranted when you hear the guy in front of you - he brings something pretty unique to GNR). But Bumble, ....I dunno..... hopefully he will make me eat my words when the album comes outIt's not even the fact there are 3 guitarists, it's just sometimes his playing really blows..... His playing sounds imprecise, rushed, and really OTT (at least he's good for a showboat - we've all seen his cabaret 'right hand up the neck' trick. Oh, and at least he's a nice guy). I'm not against virtuoso guitarists, far from it, but at least Bucket hit us with some memorable solos and was remotely melodic. Bumblefoot's style (so far) is just pure guitar wank........he should put less emphasis on speed and technicalities and hit us with a bloody decent tune...!! JMOLAI agree with you. Don't get me wrong - Ron is a great guy etc... - but I think we've been spoiled by Buckets solos. Clearly, we'll never forget Mr Slash, the original, the one and only - but as far as shredding and more modern sound goes its hard to top Bucket's ability. His solos were modern and new to GNR yet followed Slash's melodic outline. Ron really is (at this moment) showing how fast he can go.There is absolutly no way on earth the Nightrain solos are better now than in 02.

ohyesindeed Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 all the shredding shit is completely tasteless and gratuitous. people keep saying shit about bumble vs. bucket but i think both of them were bad for gnr.....that '02 video of bucket doing all that melodic minor sweeping shit in "nightrain" is vomitous....and so is bbf doing the two handed tapping shit in the same song.fortus' soling capabilities, coupled with finck, is all the guitar power the new band needs. adding a penis implant like bucket or bumble is just making it obvious that axl feels like he needs to overcompensate for slash not being there....

Iceman24 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I think he is a real cool guy and seeing him live was amazing. But I agree, he shouldn't shred that much. I have nothing against shredding, as long as it has melody, like Buckethead's solos do. But I mean, listen to Ron play YCBM, he just ruins the song by shredding the shit out of his guitar. I know he could do better, so, I don't understand, why he has to play it like this, because some of his solos are nice and he is definitely one of the technically best guitarists ever.

Estranged Reality Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) He's an extremely nice guy, but I think he is a solo artist. I don't think he fits GN'R or any band for that matter. And even though his shredding on songs like Nightrain is good, I think some of his solos are terrible (I really don't enjoy his YCBM solos - at all). He's kind of the total opposite of Slash in that way. Like his image or not, Buckethead had the amazing ability to blend virtuoso speed with emotive playing (listen to his YCBM solo compared to Ron's) - unfortunately, I think Ron is lacking in the former category.I'm not bashing the guy, mind you. I think he's terrifically nice to his fans and at this point he's the only one in GN'R who actually interacts with us. I just think he's too much of a shredder for my own tastes. I know Axl is trying to move in a new direction with this band, but I think Buckethead really fit the bill in that way. His stage presence was odd, to say the least, but go listen to the leaks again. Then compare his live performances to Ron's live performances. IMO he's miles ahead.But again, Ron is a great guy from a personal standpoint, and as his OWN artist, I'm sure he is great.

His non melodic wanking has been the low light of both shows I attended this year. He doesn't have that intangible presence that Fortus and Finck have either. I went to one of the shows with a couple buddies, who saw the band with Bucket, and they were both disappointed by Bumblefoot also. Axl needs to either find somebody who has stage presence and can actually play Buckets parts note for note, or promote Richard to lead along with Robin and get get a new rhythm player, or somehow get Bucket back. Bumblefoot and Frank need to be given their walking papers immediately. I have no doubt that Chinese Democracy will be a killer album but Bumblefoot and Frank do nothing for me and a lot of others, in a live setting anyway.

DCK82 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I've really tried to like Bumblefoot, I really have, but as far as seeing/hearing him live, he just hasn't impressed me at all thus far.Stand outs have been his Don't Cry solo, and Nightrain solo, but Buckets Nightrain solo in '02 is far superior.The only consolation I can take from Bucket not being in the band anymore is that his material will still be on Chinese Democracy. If Ron has re-recorded any of Buckets parts I think I'll cry from sadness and rage :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMOLAI didnt read your whole post cause it started off so lame, but Bumble has become an intricate part of the band, and his performances were clearly the most prolific on Friday when I was there. He also interjects his own style into their older music, and thats cool, cause I am not a "please come back Slash/Bucket/Izzt/Duff "guy. I like the new band, they are their own band, and Bumble is a strong part of them. So if you dont like em, go find another band without him, cause he is getting more and more solo time. He is here to stay, so embrace the new band, or just go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lahey Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm surprised somebody hasn't started a petition to bring back Bucket, or fire Ron. Axl really needs to put some more effort into finding a replacement for Bucket. Axl can fuck off for good if he's going to ruin Chinese Democracy by letting Bumble put his non melodic shredding on the album. I want Axl to have the biggest comeback in Rock History, but I know he needs Brain and Bucket, or somebody of their calibre, to make it happen. Ron would make a good fanclub president or PR agent for GnR, but he's just not the right guitar player unfortunatley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leddy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I haven't heard any rumours about Bumblefoot leaving, please tell?There aren't any credible ones. Just some wishful thinking from a certain section of the "fan"base.It was pointed out earlier in this thread, and it's the most pertinent point, Ron came on board a few days before the first gig. He should not be judged by the Hammerstien and early euro gigs, as he was just feeling his way in. That being said, he still did a stunning job considering how new to the material he was.Also you cannot judge any of the guys by Youtube links or the RIR/Inland webcasts. If you've seen the band live this year you'll know that it's no comparison to online reproductions.If any of you have taken the time to check out Ron's solo stuff, you will know he a fantastic songwriter, with a great voice as well as his truly stellar guitar work. His albums are a great combination of catchy pop, driving rock and a side serving of geeky technical guitar work for those that are that way inclined. But the point is you don't have to be. Through his involvement in Guns, i have discovered his solo work, and if he left tomorrow, I'd still be proud to be a Bumblefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'll be honest here.Buckethead I loved more - his Nightrain solo, KOHD solo, November Rain solo, and believe it or not - even his stage presence was awesome. A part of me is actually quite upset about the fact that the general public won't even remember him being in the band, I mean really who will/wants to remember 2001/2002? The band looked like they'd formed about 10 minutes prior to going on to play a GnR cover set. Though the show was awesome there was not much chemistry on the tour, I would have loved to see a show now, with Bucket in. Even a one-off or something.Bumblefoot is a great guy, but the fact is a guitarist like Buckethead is one in a million (pun not intended) and same goes for Slash, in my eyes Buckethead is/was a better pick than Slash, for Axl to strike it lucky a third time would be near impossible, but he's come as close as he possibly could get by picking Bumblefoot, there is not another guitarist out there as talented as BBF who is/was an unknown, they're making the right choices.They don't want to pick a guitarist who is famous, because that will be pointless. Axl has gotta take nobodies to stardom for this to work, before I saw them in 2002 I'd never heard of any of them except Buckethead.Now I know them all as Guns N' Roses.P.S, for what it's worth from what I saw live, Axl/Bucket and Axl/Bumble could be the new Axl/Slash.When I saw them in Birmingham this year, Axl was talking about a South Park song, can't remember which, and Bumble started playing it to which Axl replied "HAHA, Bumble knows it.......the sick fuck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHaze Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) ohyesindeed - That's incredibly ignorant and small minded if you ask me, completely neglecting two handed legato techniques and sweeping just because you think it's not fashionable or cool is pathetic. Many people use those techniques tastelessly, yes, but to rule out the use of them all together is fucking retarded. It restricts you as a musician and that's when you cross the border into being in it for the fame, image and money and not your art. Essentially, it puts you on the same level as Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.Oh yeah, I didn't criticize your taste. I assumed you hadn't heard Bucket's solo material as branding those albums "guitar wankery" is not just a stupid opinion, it's factually incorrect.

Axl_morris Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ok, short and sweet topic. I've waited to the end of the tour before casting my opinion, but Bumblefoot......I'm just not a fan. Don't get me wrong, I've tried, and I know the guy is an amazing musician - but nothing he has contributed has blown me away (with the exception of Don't Cry)and his presence on the live shows is total overkill.One thing this tour has certianly cemented is just how good the combo of Finck and Forus are, amazing team and super stage presence (my opinion of Finck has shot straight up after hearing him live, the 'sloppy' criticism's are seriously unwarranted when you hear the guy in front of you - he brings something pretty unique to GNR). But Bumble, ....I dunno..... Maybe Axl and Bumble will prove me wrong when the album comes out, but I doub't it.It's not even the fact there are 3 guitarists, it's just sometimes his playing really blows..... His playing sounds imprecise, rushed, and really OTT (at least he's good for a showboat - we've all seen his cabaret 'right hand up the neck' trick. Oh, and at least he's a nice guy). I'm not against virtuoso guitarists, far from it, but at least Bucket hit us with some memorable solos and was remotely melodic. Bumble's style is just pure guitar wank........ JMOLAI disagree - strongly. I think Axl's decision to bring Ron onboard was the smartest move he's made in years - both musically and from a PR perspective. I think Ron is talented and versatile as a guitarist, has good stage presence (which he didn't have when he first joined the band), and offers a great connection between the band and fans from a PR perspective. jmo.I almost agree with you. BUT, when BBF did join the band to start of with he had amazing stage presence. I saw him on his, what 7 or 8th show, barely 3 weeks in the tour in London. He came down to the crowd and let me pluck away at his guitar and walked along the front of everyone else. At Rock in rio, a week before, he just seemed to be as much there as any other. Bumble has more stage presence than Richard also. The guy is a complete gift to GNR and there fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_l Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 he's an awesome player (not as good as Buckethead, but still)By far my favourite of the three guitarists. Axl made a wise move picking him. He's a big asset. I just wish he'd sing a bit, his solo records prove he's good at it. He already has the only entertaining solo (actually, y'know, playing GNR material during it). If he sang a bit it'd just be amazing.Well, the sick part is that he is almost or even as good as Bucket. Actually, as members already stated, Bucket is the perfect new addition, his got precense on stage, he's a heelufa player, he's in connection with the band so, to me, Thal in the band is just an addition.
