Re: Ron leaving the band after Vegas?

There are acts that, once committed between individuals, they are what they are. To add insult to injury almost day after day, lapsing into year after year, for more than a decade, is a nightmare. Anyone putting his own personal entertainment above everything else is sickening.
You forgot the pee story!!

Can we assume then that when Richard says 'no comment' it means that something is happening and anything he actually says can be ignored?

Haha totally.
Re: Ron leaving the band after Vegas?
Two weeks before the tour, Merck and Axl step in, saying, 'Hold your horses! Here's our next Buckethead!'
Honestly, nobody else plays like Bucket, so the best thing to do would be just to cut their losses instead of hiring another fretboard shredder. Guns got along just fine before with two guitarists, so they should just let DJ and Fortus come up with their variations on the solos, and not replace Ron.
Re: Ron leaving the band after Vegas?
agree....if you bring in another guitar player, it should be purely a rhythm player....no fuckin solos....all rhythm to help fill out the sound live
...DING DING....calling Paul Tobias!
Rhythm? Probably Duff would be first on the list... Paul is/was more studio/composing.
And I totally agree.. Fortus can shred if needed and could probably replicate the most complex solos just fine.

I haven't seen him do any of the crazy finger tapping stuff that Ron does, but outside of that, Fortus should play all the lead guitar live, as he seems to have the best tone live and best all round skill of all of them.
Re: Ron leaving the band after Vegas?
Fortus could do a serviceable job, I feel. Both Bucket and Brain had this loose, funky feel, which has shifted towards more AFD classic rock with Frank and DJ. Fortus played with Bucket, and has an idea of what his parts were in regards to the overall sound. Instead of it being DJ thinking those TIL solos sound easy.
Duff on rhythm, and the sound's fine, I agree.
Re: Ron leaving the band after Vegas?
Brain might be coming back though...
I don't know how that affects the Bucket situation; last I heard there were rumors that he's having financial problems, medical issues probably tied to that, and lost both of his parents who he was EXTREMELY close to. But from what's being said by insiders is that Brain wants back in and it looks like Frank might be out.
Who knows though. I'd like to see Brain back. My favorite GN'R drummer.

I really think Fortus is the best underestimated guitar player in Guns... his feeling and taste when creating is fantastic... And he is technically capable of reproducing any of the shreds, just pay attention to his solo spot with Guns...
Regarding his feel and good taste, watch this:
misterID: which insiders are saying that? haven't seen anything on the forums so far but I don't look too much into them anyway 
would like to know more tho
