Who should replace buckethead?

[Backslash]

Maybe Axl should talk to George Lynch instead, eh? haha

Lynch is one of the Greatest! Listen to L/P or REvolution and you could see that he could take GNR beyone 80's metal. Anyway . . . saw this on blabbermouth.net

"Former DIO/WWIII guitarist Tracy G has been working with a new band which he describes as "epic[-sounding] hard rock with a heavy blues edge." The group are currently rehearsing and recording demos in preparation for live shows. No further information is available at this time."

EPIC! BLUES EDGE! NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME!  . . . ALL THIS VAGUENESS MAKES ME THINK GNR!

You will see someone famous taking over for Buckethead this tour....mark my words.
Don't know who, but it will not be a fill-in scrub or your buddy down the street

Cantrell would be cool, but the guy is a major songwriter, not sure he'd be into coming in and playing other people's parts

Perhaps Russell Hammond from Almost Famous?

No offense (I love buckethead) but GnR doesn't need any more oddly shaved heads, KFC buckets, and/or silly looking face paint. Am I the only one who thought the VMA's looked a little bit like a freak show?

Once again, I love the new stuff, I love all them members, but come-on... gangsta jerseys, kfc, monk haircuts... we don't need Wes.

If they were at least a well-oiled freak show, then I'd be fine with it.  As it were, the VMAs were a bit slopping in my opinion, and the appearances definitely overshadowed the music, as it were.  That said, I was still grinning from ear to ear, not believing that GnR was actuallly back...

However, Buckethead really stood out in terms of solos and making an impact on the lineup in terms of sound.   Following Slash and BH will be a tough act to follow...

Slash, Slash, Slash, Slash (repeats many times.....)

NO, I am not joking.  She rocks and she's HOT.  GNR could use a hot chick shreddin on the stage.

Long Red hair and long legs!!!!

  i dont really care who replaces buckethead, because it isnt the same without any of the original members, so you cant really consider it gn'r, its basically a new band that axl put together which suck. But it would be so kewl if all the old members (axl duff steve izzy slash) got back together.

[awolgnr]

There are several stellar guitarists out there that I'd love to see in GNR, but not at the expense of breaking up a band.   otherwise both Christopher and Michael Amott from Arch Enemy would be excellent.  How about Marty Friedman formerly of Megadeth or Al Pitrelli of Savatage/Megadeth... we need a classic shredder to balance out Robin who is, shall we say, a bit unorthodox... (trying to be nice)

I forgot how awesome this guy was! He was in Beautiful Creatures and played on their debut album!

Omfg. Does every possible guitarist need a new thread? Theres a THREAD for this crap

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=27782.0

Threads like this is why the forum is becoming crowded and lame.

I didn't realize it. No need to get an attitude over it...

[GunnerOne 84]

I liked this place because it wasn't nearly as hostile as others. It seems that is changing recently. We are all here for the same reason, we should be able to get along.


On Topic: DJ is great, but im hoping for a bigger name for GNR>
