Full-time recluse and part-time musician Axl Rose recently added another hat to his bandana-clad dome: band publicist. In a terse press release, the 42-year-old Rose wrote that Guns N' Roses would be canceling their May 30th headlining slot at the Rock in Rio festival. And he blamed his KFC-loving, hockey mask-wearing former guitarist, Buckethead.

"During his tenure with the band, Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment," wrote Rose, "making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals, and live plans."

Guns N' Roses were set to take the stage for the first time since 2002's North American tour ended in chaos, with Rose reportedly needing a psychiatrist to coax him onstage. He also ditched several confirmed dates (leading to a riot in Vancouver) and offered incoherent tirades in New York City, where the tour ended prematurely. But according to Rose, the group's real problem was that one of their key players in their revamped lineup has been wasting time and plotting ways to boost his solo career. "It appears [Buckethead's] plans were to secure a contract with Sanctuary Records...quit GN'R, and...immediately promote his individual efforts. Nice guy!"

Those who know Rose remain mum on the matter (former guitarist Slash and current bassist Tommy Stinson refused comment). But Buckethead's manager, David Lefkowitz, defended his famously silent client. "Bucket doesn't speak to the press," Lefkowitz says. "But needless to say, Rose's accusations are false - and wrong. And with all the drama surrounding this matter, I'd better leave it at that."

Rose concluded with a mention of GN'R's Chinese Democracy album, which has been delayed for seven years. "Guns will be moving forward," he promised. "We hope to announce a release date within the next few months." In other words, we'll need a little (more) patience.

Whereas you might be right here, Axl hasn't done much to inspire confidence he is always straight with us over the last few years!

Needless to say, it didn't garner too many thoughtful responses.

Change the "Fukking" Name is damn right!

Well, there isn't going to be any reunion tour in 2007 or 2008, for Slash, Duff, and Matt are going to be busy with their band, and they have proved once and for all they don't need Axl anyway.  I believe those guys have way too much self-respect to ever again work with that nutjob.  Hell, their singer may have his share of problems, but at least he's making a real attempt to clean up his act and be the best he can be.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again now.  If Weiland can get out there and do it, what is Axl's excuse?

WOW! Cooool post dude. I tried to tell them exactly this on the Dead Horse section. Well not exactly this. But I told them that Buckethead SUUUUUX! And that other things SUUUX! And that GN'R can't be GN'R without Slash, Duff and let's say Matt.
