Everybody loooved Buckethead just a month ago. He was the most talented guitar player on the planet, GNRs secret weapon, the guy that would make the new GNR a success...
Buckethead is talented, but he's also a tool. also an asshole.
he is an unbelievably talented guitar player, but he was far from what would make the new GNR a success. if Axl isn't what makes the new GNR a success, then they simply won't be one. Bucket never wrote a song that meant anything to me. why wouldn't i turn on him when he leaves GNR? i'm a fan of this band. when you're a fan of the band, you get excited about having a talented guitar player. but in the long run, he was the second guitarist in a band with three guitarists who are terribly outshadowed by their rock-legend lead singer. let him play with les claypool, we'll forget him soon enough.
