Guitar playing on new tracks - your opinion?

[RnT]

Every song, full IRS, ful TWAT and now full BETTER
I?m presuming that all the "virtuose" notes, you can hear him puting the song to another level
is amazing
of course to the middle of the full BETTER to the end, all the guitarrist did a excelente work, all the tempos, is awsome, but the solos, man, I love Robin and Richard... but I can?t see them playing like BH played in these demos... I?m hoping that these songs will actualy stays in the same "feeling" or even better of course with the studio version, but I can?t say "nah, Fick and Richard can do this" because BH has another "style" of playing... is awsome, even I thinking that him (his image, and acouring to Tommy  , his relation with all the GNR members ) don?t fit in the GNR

what do you think?



ps: sorry the english

I don't agree with you. I think he sounds out of place. Richard and Robin are far better. They have more soul.

[Guns N RockMusic]

I agree wholeheartedly. ?It's gonna be damn near impossible for Axl to replicate these songs (or even the expectations one would have of live songs) without Buckethead. ?I'm hoping that now Bucket knows Axl is serious and it's done he'll re-join GN'R and go on tour.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I've seen Buckethead live on several occasions, with GnR, solo, and with the Colonel Claypool gig, he's unreal.  One of the best guitarists I've ever heard or seen, and unlike most virtuosos is also a great songwriter, he can write some great melodies and can do everything from mellow stuff to blues to hard rock to heavy metal, to weird stuff you wouldn't hear anywhere else.  I was very disappointed to hear he'd left GnR, and I really hope that they leave his parts on the album and can talk him into coming back to tour with them

[JDA]

Buckethead is definetly all over the Better demo.  It will be interesting to see what they do with these parts.

yeah, or richard might have take a stab at the guitar parts and re-recorded them.... I wouldn't mind that....but I agree that buckets stuff is phenomenal

[ppbebe]

Well I for one think his image fits GNR perfectly.

I don't believe BH's bad relation with all the GNR members shit. Dizzy Richard Brain don't seem bitter about him

I think Tommy was most upset with BH's timely departure.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Didn't Axl leave the door open for Buckethead to return to the band, and even thank him for his contributions to their recordings in a statement following his departure?

[mikegiuliana]

I think buckethead had what it takes to be the second most loved new gnr member.... talent wise he gets the job done and then some.. Without a doubt the bright side of irs

[Thorazine Shuffle]

i've only heard IRS, but if Bucketheads influence is on the other songs as much as IRS, it's obvious that he needs to be back in the band.  The man shines on this new material.  

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

It's a shame he's not in GNR anymore.

His solo in TWAT is just out of this world..

[mikegiuliana]

I think it's kind of cool the man with the most positive playing had the balls to just say I QUIT! Says a lot about the man, he knows he's good enough to just do other work and leave this behind.,.

[GNROSAS]

Fuck I need Buckethead Back now...

He owns major asses in these demos...

Robin does a great job too

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Axl threw him out, BH didn't quit.. right?

[GNR-Chris]

Who cares about "image". Its all about the music - and the music sounds GOOD! ?

Its not about which individual playing which musical note - its about the song as a whole. Its a collaborative effort.

Hope this makes sense, been drinkin' ?

No.  Buckethead quit the band and this caused them to cancel their 2004 date at Rock In Rio

[Crashdiet]

I personally hate buckethead's contributions with small exceptions. The sweep before the second verse in better is cool. BUt in my opinion Robin Fink is definately the man on these demo's his work on TWAT and the end of better is beautiful. The perfect replacement for slash in my opinion. I'm sure if slash had any determination and stuck out the project he would have had some wikkid solo's but since he left I'm sure glad robin is there.

I just can't get into the buckethead shredding and I don't think the general population will either.

[mikegiuliana]

The more I listen to better's full version the less I like it, the guitar parts are to all over the place,....Axl's screaming is all over as well.. Maybe it takes a few dozen listen to get this better. the 206 version was better to me..

sissy? j/k

I just feel there are spots of amaazing playing then total cluster fuck of nothing just filler... Sometimes it goes from feeling to almost a metal record with no direction..
