Bumblefoot talks about GNR and other stuff

[younggunner]

I think those songs were just used for the live performances..

I think you are wrong

[ppbebe]

I think you are right, Voodoochild and younggunner.

Just to clear things up, Bumblefoot did not hear the studio version of The Blues. I asked him about it and he said a fan sent it to him. I then told him it was a soundboard. He later cleared it up in a thread in his forum...

shit, the MP3 I heard of that gnr song "the blues" was actually a live mp3 - thought it was a studio recording - the thing sounded DAMN good...

Great. This guy don't have a clue about know a live or studio recording.

Exactly.
Cheers for the info.
Now, that is, this Stood-up guy didn?t even look into the band he?s supposed to have considered joining for bloody 2months. He has heard only "the Blues" out of new songs and it was sent to him by someone, after all. On the contrary he seems to know of music from a certain new band so well as to.......
I don?t know that it?s common or garden.

There's no studio version of the blues

There is a studio version and it will be included in Chinese Democracy.

[discobiscuit1]

can I ask how do you know it will be included for a fact??? and for that matter how do you know the recording of it is finalised??

Well if the only song he heard was sent to him by a fan, and not GNR, then I think that should give us a pretty clear picture of how "close" he actually was to joining the band.  Is it just me, or did anyone else think he definitely meant to imply in that original interview that he had gotten the studio version of the Blues from GNR?  Perhaps I'm overly cynical, but it seems that he conveniently left out the fact that he got it from a fan.

Because it was the only question I cared to ask Tommy Stinson about Chinese Democracy.

I didn't care about release dates, tracklistings, tours, credits or anything else.

Just if THE BLUES would be included in CD. And he answered that it would be on the album.

Besides it's not a big secret...

I?m not certain about that but seeing many posts on the 1st page and 2nd of this thread, that bit, like many other bits from his talks, definitely tricks people so. We may as well wear glasses and see what?s under a cloak of his mild manner. There are loads of illogical lines we can point out in his story. I don?t bother making an issue of everything though.

In conclusion, the Management/GN'R was not the unprofessional one on this matter.?

So thanks for sharing

BUMP!!!

Well then....

Sounds like it wasnt a smooth introduction to the wonderful world of GN'R.

Bumblefoot talking in 2004!

That was a good read, although I don't like reading parts about coming in and still laying down some solos for the CD. You'd think we'd be past that point already if the thing is supposedly ready to go. Also, his comment about making positive comments about Slash and VR hurting his chances of making the band sound about par for the course. That shows that they (GNR and management) are obviously watching what is going on with that band.

I am bummed Bumblefoot didn't make the band. Looking at his interviews he seems like a real stand up guy and is totally open with his fans, which would be much appreciated among the GNR fan base. He certainly would have been appreciated.

laying down some parts - that could be good. It could spell, Bucketheads input into CD will remain in tact 

[Dragoon77]

Am i the only one who thinks he looks like Gilby?

[Irish rose]

No!

[WARose]

yeah  bumping threads is cool

i just tried to open that link on the first page for about 5 minutes

[Olorin]

Well if I had started another thread with that story the HTGTH SS would be kicking down the door.

[Nighteyes]

I always wanted to hear the sound slash brought out while working with zakk...

yeah,me too.. I have always been interested in that part of the pressrelease..

just read the interview with BF from 2004, and he sounds like a nice guy
And he does look a little bit like Gilby to me

[axlirs]

this guy will go FAR. what a cool and down to eart guy
glad he was chosen.

[oneway23]

I hope they treated him well(he joined, so apparently they did) in re-entering negotiations with him...From that 2004 interview, it sounds like he felt disrespected by the backlash after that initial post..They must have apologied and increased the offer for him to change his mind after deciding it wasn't for him.

[bazgnr]

I can't access the article...advice?
