if bucket is still on cd the music is done"tommy"

[vinnylyons]

what could be taking so long i'm starting to think they are rerecording his parts i think the have found somebody else that why merck is confident it will be out this year its been 2 years since he left

[killingvector]

That's the million dollar question, jimmy.

I would bet BH parts are long gone as well.

After Axl's public skewering of him following BH's departure I really can't see Axl keeping them and having to pay royalties to a guy he sees as an opportunist.

opportunist

Er.....the opportuneness...... timing

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Its true.... Buckethead has left the band 2 years ago... And we still call them... NEW GNR...  give me a break

[UziSuicide05]

Tracii Guns should replace BH.

[RnT]

I think the truth is:

the music is done, BH is on the album, Axl had some "problem" with him ( or vice-versa) and BH is gone for sure, they made a contract and Axl doesnt wanted to changed his solos / contributions , but someone has to play this shits live.... our leed guitarrist? ROBIN F***** FINCK. Robin?s style is not the same that BH, so Robin is working on this to play this things live... so the waiting continues.... you can see all the band members doing solo things, Robin is the one locked on Axl?s basement with cameras and a lot of cofee.

makes too much sense... .poor Robin

No, Wait, maybe it's rather Chris who's sacrificed for BHs part in the basement!

If Buckethead was still in the band , Axl could use something kinda funny for an album cover. Have Buckethead inside one of those chinese chicken coop prison cells!

Didn't Axl say he had the cover art decided years ago? A little while after the interview in which he previewed a few songs instrumentally to [whatever magazine it was]?

Either way, I don't think we'll be seeing ex-bandmembers on the cover of CD. Just a hunch

The cover art you are refering to is from the Asian tour a few years back when on stage Axl flashed the "cover art" for CD containing a old chinese bicycle propped on a brick wall with "Chinese Democracy" spraypainted on it. This goes back a few years so Id imagine the cover art has changed since then.
