Title: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: GypsySoul on March 28, 2009, 12:25:03 AM This is a UK mag so it only got to the USA newsstands now.
This "Bumble in the Jungle" is a different interview than the other mag's "Bumble in the Jungle" :hihi: The first pic is an advertisement. The pics of Ron wearing the dark hat are credited to Jesse Wild. The pic of Ron wearing the red cap is credited to Simon Frederick/Getty.

That made me raise my eyebrows, I was picturing an all out fisticuffs in my mind :hihi: Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: estebanf on March 28, 2009, 01:19:32 AM Great interview. It's always a placer to read what Bumblefoot has to say.
I loved what he said about Brian may Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: helenluna on March 28, 2009, 02:25:42 AM Bumblefoot is my man! Gotta love him, that's a nice interview. All of his interviews are of this level of cool.
And I gotta make a signature out of this: "GnR makes its own rules, it does its own thing how it wants when it wants. And if you tell it it needs to do something, it will do the opposite just to give you the finger... To me it's the equivalent of going on a rollercoaster; you put your hands up and go, Wheeeee!" Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: greekmule on March 28, 2009, 03:22:23 AM very nice read!
i really enjoyed the fact that he decided not to tour for abnormal and put gnr first. this is the mentality i expect from gnr members : ok: he seems a really cool, down to earth guy :beer: Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: Voodoochild on March 28, 2009, 09:22:53 AM Great read, thanks Gypsy. :)
I didn't know about his new Vigier guitar with floyd rose, the thimble hole (lol) AND a killswitch. I hope he uses it live to play Bucket parts (like Riad ending). :D Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: Albert S Miller on March 28, 2009, 10:06:47 AM Nice pictures and great informative article, thanks Gypsy : ok:.
Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: CheapJon on March 28, 2009, 10:08:49 AM thanks for postin'
very cool read, and i love his playing on CD (the song) that fretless rythm is gold, among my favourite guitarparts on the record the red guitar he has on the pics, is that the one he talks about? Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: ppbebe on March 28, 2009, 11:03:56 AM 'some of the songs on there was inspired by GNR's old manager who I got in a fight with' That made me raise my eyebrows, I was picturing an all out fisticuffs in my mind :hihi: sheding some light on what axl said about the old management in the 06 letter. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: GNR4L on March 28, 2009, 11:25:58 AM 'some of the songs on there was inspired by GNR's old manager who I got in a fight with' That made me raise my eyebrows, I was picturing an all out fisticuffs in my mind :hihi: sheding some light on what axl said about the old management in the 06 letter. Yeah I guess Merck wasn't that good of a manager and seemed kind of a jerk.

Yeah I guess Merck wasn't that good of a manager and seemed kind of a jerk. nice to fans (ie, presales, etc) not considerate toward the band members I guess. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on March 28, 2009, 05:41:49 PM So we'll be seeing Ron play the Bfoot 2009 for the Guns N' Roses track Better.
AWESOME! Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: gunner22 on March 28, 2009, 05:48:27 PM Gotta love him, that's a nice interview. All of his interviews are of this level of cool.

Exactly Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: Chief on March 28, 2009, 08:04:46 PM Thanks, this was a good one!!!
Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: JMack on March 28, 2009, 11:43:56 PM Yeah, like I said....good read but hard to read......delete....sorry to have an opinion. I have also posted a Ron Thal question and answer deal. It was just as interesting and I didn't make it so hard to read or delete a post regarding as much. Lighten up. It's an opinion that may help... ???
Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: axljungle on March 29, 2009, 12:08:36 PM Ron is a cool guy. Really good interview :peace:
Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: Christian on March 29, 2009, 01:42:13 PM Two questions:
- Will Ron's new guiter (doubleneck) have the Killswitch button or he was talking about an "old" guitar? - He did that interview before Dj Ashba come in? "No Tour Plans" seems a little old situation now that we have a new guitar player Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: JMack on March 29, 2009, 08:43:54 PM New Double neck will have a kill switch because it was a made to order for Ron, besides having one on a previous guitar. I believe he said there were only 2 being made. He likes to keep it simple....I can't imagine that it wouldn't have anything that his other guitars didn't already have.
He seems to go with the flow and either way he seems to be a guy who'd be happy to be the lead or one of the leads or even do his own thing. Whatever is best for the band, is best for him. He respects past, present and future projects with GNR regardless of who is in the band as long as he's doing what he wants to do and that's play guitar and contributing in GNR or not.

"No Tour Plans" seems a little old situation now that we have a new guitar player The interview was done in December when BBF was in the UK doing promo stuff and the mag went on sale in the UK in the second week of February.

"No Tour Plans" seems a little old situation now that we have a new guitar player Think we'll have to wait and see regarding the double neck. The new Vigier BBF signature has a killswitch though, this is what I believe he was referring to.

If I'm not mistaking, Morrisey gave good ol' Merckk the boot as well not so long ago so yeah, there's def something uncool about Merck. Believeing anything else would be pretty naive. On the other hand, I can understand Finck frustration. He had problems with Bucket being in the band and seeing how Ron got a lot of space on this record taking some of the industrial Finckish sound off of it. Putting more "sleeze" on to it must be kind of hard for Robin to deal with. Makes sence to me tho that Ron got more space than Finck, but I understand Fincks message and I respect that. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: -Rob- on March 31, 2009, 01:11:33 PM Bumblefoot is a true professional and an extremely under-rated musician.
Quite possibly the best guitar player to ever play for this band. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: ppbebe on March 31, 2009, 02:56:29 PM 'some of the songs on there was inspired by GNR's old manager who I got in a fight with' That made me raise my eyebrows, I was picturing an all out fisticuffs in my mind :hihi: sheding some light on what axl said about the old management in the 06 letter.

Robin had problems? ??? has anyone in the now told you those or it's your imagination?

Robin had problems? ??? has anyone in the now told you those or it's your imagination? It's not imagination the thing about Robin and Bucket. It's my imagination tho that he might have felt over run by Bumblefoot when he joined the band. I bet it must have felt like shit when he came in so late and got so much space on the album and live. Like I said, and I should have pointed it out, this is only me speculating. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: ppbebe on April 01, 2009, 11:10:00 AM unless confirmed by either bh or robin, or by their friends, it's BS in my book.

I vaguely remember there being rumors of BH and Robin not liking eachother back in 2002, and that they maybe even got into a fight. Tommy did say he was glad BH was gone though a few years back. Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: ppbebe on April 01, 2009, 12:45:22 PM all sorts of rumours have been abroad. and tommy was obviously pissed off with bh's untimely departure then.
Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: BurningHills on April 03, 2009, 04:43:30 PM Loved it! Ron is the man!

Title: Re: BUMBLEFOOT in Guitarist (mag) March2009 Post by: rabia on April 11, 2009, 07:00:14 PM so we've had 2 interviews with bumblefoot, 2 with tommy, 1 with brain and chris pittman each since CD came out.
