The leaks that really bummed me out and ruined it for me were from the guy who is getting sued for leaking stuff.

I was hoping those songs would blow what we had heard away, which was promising with the "Better" leaks and we got bad versions of "If the World" and "Prostitute", which ended all hope that there was something magical hidden in the vault.

Also, the CD leak bummed me out because the song is "Rock Me Like a Hurricane", "Louie, Louie" and every other 3 chord rock song, and it really reminded me of something I would write when I was 15 thinking I was doing something groundbreaking.

I will say this, though.  I listen to this CD more than other I have and more than anything else I've bought in the last ten years, because I'm trying to digest it and like it, but I can't get my head and heart around it.

Did these questions get to Bumble? 
I really want to make sure he gets to hear the song he inspired.

I think he's a really talented songwriter and guitarist.

Howdy Bumble,

I find the ecletic nature of your solo work to be inspirational, and I actually wrote a song after listening to your solo CD.

I enjoy your guitar work immensely, and given your non-rockstar nature, I thought you may appreciate hearing something that one of your admirers came up with after getting heavily into your solo work.

I wrote a song about how cats can be pains in the asses as pets, as well as the similarities between an unresponsive lover and a feline.

In the chorus section, I used the voice of the cat from the Disney movie, "The Cat from Outer Space" as an homage, and as the cat's response to it's accusation from it's human owners.  The cat's duality in it's nature and all that.

Would you be willing to solo over it for me?  I can pay you like, I dunno, five bucks or I could send you some bitchin' New Mexico salsa.

It's an acoustic track and could use some bitchin' Bumble guitar.

Here it is, in unmixed form.  I didn't allow myself to overdub or edit once we turned on Logic, so it's really rough, but I think that is it's charm.

Thanks.

Guys...

I apologized.

I was just wondering if he still did that kind of stuff with NuGnR.

That was kind of like an initiation in my band, to go at a chick together at the same time.

I guess I was trying to be really concise like Axl asked in the other thread.

A more appropriate way to put it would be:

Was there any behavior in the studio similiar to the urban legend associated with the recording of Rocket Queen?

Does Bucket wear the mask even in his interpersonal relationships?

Could you convince Bumblefoot to wear a beehive on his head?

Is there a dog whistle hidden on Shackler's Revenge and the track Chinese Democracy?  It makes my dog whimper.
