Personally I would love it if Axl was able to bring back Bucket into the fold.  And here is why.  When GNR started they were a dangerous band and they looked dangerous.  I'm sorry but back in the 80's there is no way in hell I would've let those guys in my house.  Axl's band now including Axl himself don't look dangerous not one bit.  They try to act dangerous by starting late and all but I just don't buy it this time around.  Axl doesn't do rants anymore, doesn't interact with the crowd, basically they look like normal people.  In comes Buckethead.  This guy looks anything but normal and could pass out as being dangerous by rock n roll standards.  I'm sorry but if my daughter would come home telling me she wants me to meet her new boyfriend and the boyfriend ends up being Bucket.  I am not a happy camper at all.  Plus Bucket much like Slash has guitar god like talent and if Axl actually accepted to release new music, people would come to realise that and appreciate it.  So while Axl and the rest of the band looks nice and normal, having Bucket in the band would tell people that he can still hang with the baddest of them.  In my opinion Buckethead is THE major factor to bring Axl back on top of the world.  He has the look and talent to do it.

I wouldn't go simply due to finances.  I am saving my money to help pay for my daughter's education.  But if not for that I would be down for it.  The only person I would definitely NOT be happy to see is Nesquick.  Other than that I can't see how someone would make an ennemy in a forum.

Well I have to side with Bono here.  When I saw GNR in 06 we couldn't hear Axl at all.  It was almost like his mic was turned down.  I thought it was maybe the arena but it was weird cause when Th Trews played you could hear him perfectly.

Wether that interview was done before or after Finck's departure.  I have to take Fortus's defense here.  While I do not like Dick I have to give him credit for at least answering questions regarding GNR.  And this is where I do not get the people on the boards.  He did an interview where he wouldn't even answer a question about who decided on a solo at a GNR concert and everyone myself included blasted him for it, and I do have to say that it was deserved.  Dick shouldn't have done the interview or use GNR to promote his other crap if he can't talk about his band.  Here he talks about them and people still blast him.  Now I'm not saying I believe Dick on what he says about CD cause I don't, then again I wouldn't even believe Axl anymore at this point.  But at least he answered the questions, we could at least give him the benefit of the doubt.  I'm starting to think that people are never satisfied.  And I can't even believe I am defending Dick.  While I don't believe this band anymore if they answer questions about GNR I can't cmplain other than the fact that it is all BS.
