KY-Buckethead show..info on Axl/Buckethead

[grog mug]

I agree but this guy has been with Bucket and listened to what Bucket has to say about Axl/GN'R and that's just some of the stuff he would tell me.  I agree I figured Axl would be the work-horse of this project, but he's the one for the holdup so I do believe the statement regarding his laziness.  I was also optimistic about Bucket's solos with GN'R and didn't like Old Mcdonald and all that bullshit, but this guy rocks.  He was hands down the best guy there without a doubt and the best guitarist I've ever seen.  He just fits with the new GN'R equation and needs to make a return.

Uhh, I never heard Buckethead play Old McDonald.  Though I did hear him play the badass fingerpicking of The Chicken Binge.

how can axl be putting the least amout of work into the album when the guy said axl is always in the  studio tweaking songs? That sounds like he is putting too much work into  it

Your not getting the guy's point Dave.  I'm a diehard Axl fan myself.  What he's trying to say is Axl is in no hurry to finish this album for anyone.  He's lazy when it comes to going in the studio and putting out a finished product.  The rest of the players Buckethead, Robin, Tommy, etc knew what they had to do and did it.  Axl needs to get this mentality and finish this album for his fans and for himself.

he did play Old MacDonald during his solo set at least once.

That is not being Lazy, its being a perfectionist, there is a big difference.

Yeah, well he played Mr. Sandman and Willie Wonka tonight in Hotlanta and finished the show with a 2-3 minute blues jam solo that would absolutely knock your dick in the dirt...this guy has got the chops big time. He is a freak but if the talent is harnessed appropriately, look out. This guy standing next to me said "I can't fucking imagine what Chinese Democracy sounds like." He was floored as well.

4. Huge/Tobias is no longer around-no one knows the reason why.

That's not true. Paul Tobias (he's not Huge and he dislikes people calling him that name him) was not into playing live. He did not feel comfortable with it. It doesn't have to mean he's out of the band though, he might just continue writing with them, but he just wont be playing live.

How do you know that?

No wait...

...no male would want people to know he isn't huge, right?  

[grog mug]

Axl is lazy.  I've heard it from many people.  It doesn't take years to make an album, once you know it's right it's right not years down the road when you have to completely change the song to master it.  Buckethead rocks!  You need to see his solo set live...the best guitarist I've ever seen.

haha, yeah, that's true. That could be it.

Anyway, I would assume that his fathers name is Huge, and I know for sure that Tobias is his mothers maiden name. And just to answer the question: At the first Las Vegas show, Axl introduced Paul as Paul Huge Tobias. Paul got sad because of that, and Axl appologised to him. I take that as he got sad.

whatever...Finck has no other creative outlet for his OWN writing/songs. He has alot at stake with Gnr from a personal and professional point of view.

Well, he has his website and one of the incubating sections in 'The Flock' looks like a music section.  I've also heard rumors he was working on a solo project before he joined GN'R..

I've heard from many people (including Axl himself) that Axl is working his ass off to make this album great. And of course you can make a record in less than one year, but if you want to put it under the GNR name and live up to the expectations that go with it things change a little.

I'm just hoping the album will come out near my birthday in August with Buckethead's material still on it.  I have not seen a guitarist play as well as Buckethead just listen to his newest song Nottingham Lace.....I can't stop listening to it.
