BUT...the fact that April 1 is only a few days away STILL worries me, this wouldn't be the first Chinese-Democracy-April-Fool's joke.  IF this WAS a joke to start out with it has gotten too big now and fiction could actually become reality.

The real question now is, if the album comes out in 2008 and Dr Pepper claims it was a joke, how many people will sue for misrepresentation through advertising?

And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album I'll share my Dr. Pepper with him.

I know it's reaching... but could this imply that 2008 is the year?

I think that's the point. Would be very cool.

That sentence is both good and bad. 

"Some of Buckethead's performances"= bad news

"I'll share my Dr. Pepper with him."= 2008 may be the year

Some of BH's performances are better than none. For all we know, some of BH's performances could be on every song, I mean, there's a lot of Robin's and Tommy's performances that won't be on the album either.

How is that bad? Seriously, do we have to go down this road again? Or, do you mean "bad" as in, he's been replaced in parts?

Good point!  It's always a relief to hear that he is on the album.  I think Axl knows that it would set him back a good 9 years taking BH off.

To clarify, i mean bad as in he may have been replaced in certain parts.  That would be very bad, because i can't imagine anyone else doing better than BH.

I don't see why people are so obsessed with buckethead.  Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing guitar player, but he certainly doesn't have the emotion in his play that Slash and Robin bring.  I think we should wait to hear an original with Ron before we assume he can't be an equal replacement for Bucket.  Besides, on a fan level, how many fans did Bucket ever meet with, chat with or even give tickets to a show?  Ron has done all of that.
