Re: Chinese Democracy - new guitar heroes in the making?
Seeing as AFD, Lies, UYI and I suppose even TSI made a guitar hero out of Slash. Do you think CD will possibly do the same for Robin, Richard, Bumble and Bucket?
I think what I look forward to most is some in depth interviews on the guitar writing for the songs, and where inspiration came from for certain riffs or solos etc.
Re: Chinese Democracy - new guitar heroes in the making?
Yeah I'd like to hear all the members go in depth about the saga, but chances of any of these guys becoming 'guitar heroes' are very, very slim. They're not spring chickens(you know of any guitarists who got legendary in their 40s?), none of them are very marketable, and they have no ties to the era that made the band magical. Also, from how the writing credits look to be shaping up, people who deserve much of the credit are either no longer there or not a guitarist.
They all deserve kudos for their contributions, but we're unlikely to see any icons be unveiled post CD.
Re: Chinese Democracy - new guitar heroes in the making?
I agree. Bucket is the only one that has a chance if he's in the band. And James I disagree. Bucket is very marketable perhaps even more than Slash if done right. Remember he's a mysterious guy that doesn't give interviews and people would be fascinated by him.
Re: Chinese Democracy - new guitar heroes in the making?
bucket is a guitar hero. nor he or i need validation from a "mainstream" audience.
Validation from a "mainstream" audience is part of what makes someone a guitar hero. I'm not saying it's fair, but it is true. He may be a guitar hero to you, but he is not considered a guitar hero. It's the same way with music...if the general public doesn't know about you, it doesn't matter how good your band is. Talent alone only gets you so far in this world.
Re: Chinese Democracy - new guitar heroes in the making?
Only Buckethead could become a guitar hero, and he is gone.
For it to truely materialize, and him to become that associated with Guns N' Roses, the album would have to come out, and he'd have to return and tour to support it.
