Re: In Search of ... Bumblefoot (A Couple Interesting GnR mentions)
What's this about a porn influence?
Re: In Search of ... Bumblefoot (A Couple Interesting GnR mentions)
The parts that Ron and Frank have recorded for "Chinese Democracy" are minor.
We all know that.
Re: In Search of ... Bumblefoot (A Couple Interesting GnR mentions)
first off i dont think that Ron would attempt to duplicate note for note what BH did...nor do i think if the tables were turned that BH would do Rons stuff note for note...these guys are prodigy's they cant just do it the way its already been done, they need to leave their mark...
if i remember correctly, when a band member left, his parts were "replaced"....not re-recorded....there's a huge difference between the two...massive in fact...
bringing in Brian May to replace what Robin Finck did definitelly doesn't indicate that Brian re-recorded it note for note....in fact, with so many lawsuits flying around his head, Axl knows better not to rip off the work he paid for in the first place...legally, it has the potential to land him in some hot water...
i dont think anyone, in the history of this "new" line up went and simply "replayed" existing parts which were done by someone else...the reason that person was asked to do a certain bit in a song was either because the initial bit sucked...or Axl didn't want any trace of the previous member....which also includes the melody....
bucket is definately one of a kind....but i think Ron brings something to the table that even BH doesnt have..Ron seems to be able to put a whole song together where bh is more just tearing it up as one long constant solo....but ron's material he does both lead and rhythm parts, its almost like BH feels rhythm work is beneath him?
at least on the solo BH material that i've heard
mate, then you haven't heard all of his stuff...if anything impresses the shit out of me on BH's solo albums is his ability to put together a "song", a melody which only needs vocals to be complete....he is multi layered like no one else out there....and I'm sure that Ron would agree...
not to say that Ron is not a good replacement...he most definitelly is....he plays every part in every GNR song like he wrote it....and he does justice to BH's material...well, the bit we know is BH's material in the new gnr setlist....
he's a great guy....

no i havent heard ALL his stuff 
i dont have enough time to listen to a billion albums 
i've heard maybe 5 BH albums...and i've heard 2 BBF albums...while both guys are insane guitarists i would have to say that BH is a bit too out there for me, I'm not much of a primus fan and it seems that alot of BH's material is very primus-esque, and the rest of the material that i've heard is just going crazy on guitar...that shit is wayyy over my head...bbf on the other hand writes songs and they are normal tunes that i can sing along with...
i'm not saying BH is bad by any means hes an amazing talent....hes just not my style and of the 2 i personally prefer ron and i dont think we should be too quick to write ron off as a poor man's bh, especially since all we have to judge ron on is bootleg tracks vs bh's studio material....so totally not fair to judge that way 
all that being said...electric tears is a pretty awesome album and BH's renditions of movie themes are fucking brilliant
