#171 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bach says he is on Sorry.. Leak fake » 909 weeks ago
I dunno guys... are you sure its Baz? Maybe its just a third or fourth Axl layer?
It's definately Baz, and he does a great job in my opinion.

I'm totally digging "Sorry", I think it's may be the best song on the album. Finck has actually suprised me with some tasty acoustic guitar work. The backing vocals done by Baz are great aswell.
Anyone else notice that the song is in 3/4 time? (possibly 6/8 time) You can fucking waltz to it. Ok now I'm tripping out. This is probably why I thought it had a "Shine on you crazy diamond" feel about it.

Can someone please hook me up?

I've been listening to "Scraped" trying to figure out where Ron and Bucket play in the solo. It almost sounds like they've got a 'call and response' thing going where Bucket plays 4 bars (measures), then Ron plays 4 bars etc etc. It actually sounds pretty neat and adds contrast in my opinion.
Anyone else hearing this? Of course I could be wrong 
#175 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 909 weeks ago
Once that guy walked in the door, all lead guitar duties should have been handed over to him. You could still give Finck some stuff like on Better, SOD, and the first TWAT solo, but for the most part, Bucket should have been it.
My thoughts exactly. I mean if Finck actually knew how to play I would be ok with it. WTF was Axl thinking? 'this I love' is going to be one of those tracks that I'll skip over every time. If Axl wanted a 'bluesy' slightly sloppy feeling in his songs, he should have just handed Fincks parts over to Fortus, who in my opinion is a far, far better guitarist.
Another thing, Rons solos aren't impressing me very much either. His part in Riyadh sounds worse to me than his Shacklers solo, by quite a large margin. Axl should have restricted him to rhythm guitar duties on the album.
The inconsistencies in the album regarding lead guitar are going to hurt it imho.

Cool.

Like Adler being kicked out of the band for drugs, May's exclusion is almost like a bad joke. They replaced Brian May with... Robin Finck? Are you fucking kidding?
I fucking wish I was kidding. And the solo sounds bad, completely ruined the song in my opinion (same with Ron's solo in Riyadh).
#178 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Liner Note Discussions *EXTREME SPOILERS* » 910 weeks ago
Imagine...Bucket plays what he does on the album, plus whatever he used to do in 2002, Bumble can play all his additons to CD tracks and cover robins solos. I think it would kick fucking ass.
Thats exactly what I've been imagining also.

From Brian May's website:
[A reader has seen the sleeve notes of the long-awaited Chinese Democracy album, and wrote in that Brian wasn't credited on Catcher In The Rye. See LETTERS.]
Ah ... well, I did not know this ! Thanks, Thomas.
Well, it is a shame, perhaps ... I did put quite a lot of work in, and was proud of it.
But I could understand if Axl wants to have an album which reflects the work of the members of the band as it is, right now.
I do have mixes of the tracks with my guitar on, work tapes at the time, but they will remain private, out of respect for Axl.
Thanks for your kind wishes, Thomas.
Cheers

Agreed Axlin. And due to the fact that Bucket left because the album not being released, it really wouldn't suprise me if he re-joined now that it's almost with us, for a tour at least. I'm thinking that Azoff is trying to get Bucket back as we speak, and the GNR camp silence somewhat confirms this for me. I can't imagine that they would leave all his parts intact if this wasn't the plan all along, unless of course a re-union is on the cards. It seems logical that if he was truly out of the band with not a chance of returning, re-recording all his parts would be the right thing to do.
Personally I wouldn't bother seeing the band sans Bucket if they were touring to support the album.
