Where did GNR go @ the Bucketboard?

[2k3intensions]

 
I tried to go to the GNR related message board over @ Bucketheadland.com and it sends me straight over to the regular bucketboard.  I've never seen this happen before and it worries me w/ all the Buckethead rumors from earlier.  Could anyone find out what's going on.  It just isn't there any more.  I hope I'm reading more into this than I should!

Suddenly Laswell's comments begin to make more and more sense...

I just sent Greg the admin to try and find out what's up.

Bill Laswell suddenly appeared onstage. One of the guys (Gunnershome from www.dutchdemocracy.nl / www.gunsnroses.nl ) started talking to Laswell. When asked if Buckethead was playing RIR this spring (with GNR), Laswell said that he didn?t think so(!!). Confused by this answer we (=Kiki actually) asked again. But Laswell kept saying that he wasn?t expecting Buckethead to play with GNR at RIR (HE DIDN?T SAY THAT GNR WOULDN?T APPEAR AT ALL, he clearly wasn?t that well informed about GNR).

The fact that the entire Buckethead-GNR section is gone is not exactly a good thing...

That's ok, but don't get your hopes up to high about him. He really likes it to tell people that he can't give any 'personal' information on Buckethead.

Here's what I sent and just got back from them.  Is this a basic response or is this actually the Admin?  I don't know what to think.

We thank you for visiting that ride in the park.  The ride is non-operational and non-functional.  Thanks for visiting, and we hope that you visit the Bucketboard.

Dear Greg, I looked @ the site today and it didn't have the GNR related board there anymore.  What's happening?  Is it just temporarily done or is this a sign of things to come?  Thanks.

A few weeks back I made the first post on the new Bucket GnR board. It was pretty long and waffled on abt Madagascar and Rio. It got a few replies, then there were some more posts abt Rio etc, then the whole of my thread disappeared, and now this.

I'm quite bothered. But then, Mysteron did state strongly during the last rumours that Bucket WAS in GnR. Apparently so did Bucket by nodding at that recent show when asked.

Also, I just bought a ticket from May 30th. If something sickening had happened i.e. Bucket had left, I imagine GnR would have been withdrawn from the lineup before today.

You never know, this could just be a way of making some controversy, lower expectations?

Mysteron?

That makes me feel sick. If it's just Bucketspeak, this Greg should have more consideration for fans and not get us all worked up for nothing. If it's meant to be read into, well.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Don?t let this be!

This is no basic response. I have talked to him in the past. I really think that this is Bucketheadland's way of saying that currently there is no GNR- Buckethead link anymore.... Whenever things are just caused by technical difficulties they always say things like "temporarily unavailable, stay tuned" or "closed due to maintenance". This sounds serious to me....

They always talk in kinda mysterious theme-park terms....

Guns N Roses are "non-operational and non-functional"?

 

[jarmo]

If he's out of the band, why not just post a news article mentioning it?

They're not allowed to talk about GN'R or what?

NOW, you're reading too much into it. They only ( ) talk on matters concerning Buckethead, the "Buckethead - GNR" connection.

-PEACE-

[littleredcorvette]

Jarmo, they are likely all in iron clad contracts which prevent any kind of disclosure not given consent by Axl. That's why they never ever say much when asked.

Which is what makes this worrying because it *could* be Bucket's way of saying something.

It could not aswell, but we've been waiting 11 years for CD and a real comeback. We all have a right to be jittery about this.

Seems to be that way, I guess...

If Buck would be out the band chances are big that Brain is out too. They always where kind of a duo-package... The last things Axl needs at the moment is having to announce that two bandmembers have left...

Looks to me that they only have one section for everything.  It says the board is for anything Buckethead related.  I would think GNR is Buckethead related to you can talk about them.   IS anybod here a member on that forum?  If so, just post something GNR related, maybe about RIR.

[2k3intensions]

I tried to post it said thank you for your post and it never showed up!

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

well
i dont wanna make any drama or whatever
but if you look at all that happened in GNR since 2001.
you can't, just can't say that the delay was due to some normal marketing, buisness, technical, inspiration problems .....
GNR and AXL are having REAL problems. something serious
it could be court and justice issues, or members problems, but it can't just be " axl wanna make a good cd ..."
.....
what could be a big issue in the band : someone leaving.

One can't be a member at the Bucketboard, I have been posting there for years. When things between Buck and GNR got real serious (touring and stuff) they specially openend up that GNR-section (which was quite big because they never had a Cornbugs or Praxis section for example). They didn't want any Slash vs. Buckethead kind of topics in the regular Buckethead section. Pulling the plugs from the GNR-section gives me the impression that the reason it was constructed for, does no longer exist...

I really hope I'm wrong, but suddenly Laswell makes more sense then Mysteron (who I greatly respect, but also is only human and can't know everything).

-PEACE-
