Great. Instead of hiring a real rock n' roll guitar player Axl seems to substitute one freak for another one.

I don't know Ron Thal so I won't judge him. But in my opinion Fortus/Finck are enought talented.
GN'R is a very volatile band, in Axl's mind, he is the only real member of this band.

Ron Thal does not play "alternative rap metal"
He plays weird, eccentric metal, he's an incredible technical player. That's as sane as saying Frank Zappa played alternative rap rock. It's weird, and it's most definitely difficult to label, especially for some journalist hack.

He does seem like a really good guitarist from the MP3 samples on his web site.. Do you guys remember Gilby learning all the GnR songs in 3 or was it 6, weeks before joining them on stage. Gilby was alright, but this guy could probably learn all the songs in a week or two with his technically abileties.. Whatever.. It's not official yet, so it's maybe useless to speculate to much?

If CD is in the mixing stages, perparing for mastering in Nov. there is no way he is going to be laying down guitar tracks. Also, the guy will have to be a God on guitar to remember all the tracks to play live.

Wow...this is just strange. I had a dream last night that GN'R put on a surprise show specifically to showcase their NEW guitarist (who happened to look a lot like Lenny Kravitz in a baseball cap and a sweatshirt). Funniest part was that the guitarist's amps cut out completely during his first solo and Axl just shook his head, stopped singing and looked right into one of the stage cameras and said, "Every fuckin' time I try to get this thing going, something's gotta go and fuck it all up!" |

I'll take this with a grain of salt though, you know what happened last time another guitarist ie, Ajax Garcia was asked to join the band. It wouldn't surprise me if GNR management denied this rumor right away.
Maybe Mysteron has any insight about this?

Who says that the tracks he lays guitar down on are for Chinese Democracy...
...Maybe Axl likes the three guitar sound that the current music has and wants to do it again for the next album...
...Hence having to find another guitarist...
...And why not get them tour with the band, and play some of B'head's parts?

I want my Bucket-Head back I dunno (see picture) - stick a KFC bucket on his head and don a mask then they could look the same! Maybe it is Buckethead out of costume! Seriously, I hope this doesn't affect stuff. Maybe someone will ask Tommy on tour. |

True, Axl spoke of 2nd and 3rd album being recorded simultaneously, and even if CD is close to being finished, the sequals might be open for changes. |
