Who should replace buckethead?

[jameslofton29]

Anyone hear ever heard of the band Elastica? A perfect choice for Axl would be their lead singer a lead guitarist Justine Frischmann. She has a very unique playing style and could also help not only in writing songs but maybe singig a couple of songs like Izzy used to do and she could DEFINITELY help on the backing vocals on CD which going by the bootlegs of the 2002 tour, are mediocre at best. Thats one of the main problems Ive had with new GNR is the shitty backing vocals during the tour!! Especially on the old material. I think Justine could seriously give GNR the kick in the ass the band so desperately needs. Axl if youre reading this, and your guitarist spot is still up for grabs, give Justine a call!! If the first CD is already complete, you could use her to finish up the so called 2 more albums that you are working on!! I think this would be a step in the right direction. What do you guys think about this?

Actually, on that theme, what about Jennifer Batten.  She used to be Michael Jackson's toring guitarist (Shock!  Horror!), but she's an absolutely unbelieveable player - based in 80s hard rock, but open to new innovations.  The reason I know is she played on Jeff Becks's recent rock-techno fusion albums as well as live with him.  She the first second guitarist Beck has used since Jimmy Page left the Yardbirds - and if she's good enough for Beck, she's good enough for GNR.

can't see why not,
kaki king is also incredible technical advances and has a personalsed way of playin 

maybe not ultrafit 4 gnr, but i like her 2

[Sentimental Rose]

Slash... sorry had to...

seriously though I think Izzy or Gilby it'd be the new band with a dash of old GN'R style 

[Crisis138]

doyle from the misfits or zakk wylde

[rocketqueenrose]

Dave Navarro 

[railroadblues]

they should pick a really quiet and cool and unknown session guitar player

otherwise they can hit the road as "Colonel Rose's Travelling Circus of Japanese Comicbook Superhero Impersonators"

y'know --- just take it easy

[*Izzy*]

Slash, Izzy or me, I may not be the greatest guitarist but I'd get Chinese Democracy realesed?
Give everyone on HTGTH a free copy
And get Axl to get his proper hairstyle and red bandana back

Vote me for new Guitarist

  Izzy? The Newbie

[GNR - CROATIA]

why should someone replace an replacement itself!?
GNR are Slash,  Izzy and Gilby and not Axl's solo nu-metal project that is called what so ever.

Funny you mention that. The other day I happen on '70s and '80s Japanese Comicbooks and saw some characters looked very much like the Old band members......Eerie!

Cool, if your telling the truth (I wasn't sure if you were joking are not ) can you post some pictures of them up here. I'm very interested in that kind of thing

  Izzy?

[usurper]

Mary Friedman would be a good choice, his work with Megadeth is fucking brilliant, including his solos

[gunznroses]

Gilby Clark or DAVE NAVARRO!!!
We would probably have a better chance on having jimmy hendrix play for the band than Slash come back.
Damn i miss the old band.

[Sakib]

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

i don't know
i don't even know if i wanna see someone else joining GN'R
but obviously they know whats gonna work best for them better than we do

i'd like to see Fortus take leads... I really loved what i've seen/heard of him in GN'R thus far
love what he added
so yeah... let Robin and Fortus do the leads
and maybe Paul could come back

its been almost a year since we heard of BH quitting
at this point... i don't know... i just about don't expect to hear someone else joining *shrugs*

Yes I am. they're not mine so I don't think I can. But I'll try.

Besides, maybe I'm the only one who think so..

I think it wold be really cool if Axl brought in Tracii Guns.  Tracii has expressed interest, and he is of course a founding member.  Whoever they choose it definitely should be somebody who's not only a great guitarist, but also has the right attitude and image for GN'R.  I don't care how good Buckethead was, he was not GN'R.  Other guys that I would like to see would be maybe George Lynch of Dokken fame or maybe Jake E. Lee.

Someone who does not look like an alien! Slash maybe!
