Travis Dickerson Recording Studios Forum

Some Bumblefoot fans here?
He wrote on his homepage that he was contacted by GNR to join the band. He sounded positive that it could happen.

funny how things go....

this MTV Video Award was an exception. Axl sounded very good on the tour after that small gig. And BH and the new band played the shit out of the old songs.

the new GNR with BH had really great potential....

Tower Records in San Francisco. yesterday.

it\'s GNR time again.

it\'s been posted on htgth.com (or whatever) that Brain will be touring with CCBBB till November, then with Tom Waits till January and then return to the GNR camp. so, BH is out of GNR and Brain not. crazy. they joined together. Axl accused BH of joining just for the money, trying to destroy his reputation and his good friend Brain returns to GNR?

you can see Dan Monti smoking with Axl Rose and Buckethead with some girl.

I understand that a lot of you want to forget that Buchethead has worked with Axl Rose but you don\'t really have to hate GNR to love BH. you can love them both, like I do.

in this interesting interview Dizzy Reed is asked if BH is officialy out. He answers: "For the time being, yeah."

call me Bush or Blair but this gives me hope.  

hey travis,
could you talk Buckethead into giving out an official statement? maybe at his site or so. i am starving for his side of the story. although i have learned to cope with silence, always been a GNR fan. well, i just wanted to ask.

but it\'s not like Axl really needs to blame BH for the delay or for not playing RiR. he is a guy who doesn\'t give a $%&/ what everybody else thinks why Chinese Democracy is not out. axl was silent the whole year 2003. there is no need to blame BH, only if it\'s true(but like you said there are some things in the statement which are really hard to believe).

and although i am intelligent enough not to believe Axl these are hard accusations(the Sanctuary deal kills me) and i will wait untill i hear BH\'s side. i am not in the right mood to order Population Override or any new release now until this shit is resolved. what makes me sad is that i don\'t expect BH to speak out. well, i must be a minority.

thx for the answer, Travis. i think i understand what you mean

Quotewow.  That press release smells like libel to me.  It has all the trappings:  language clearly about bh communicated publically based on specific facts that tend to adversely affect bh\'s reputation.  Now just stating an opinion is not libel.  But here there are all kinds of factual scenarios being used.  And Dizzy Reed\'s wife is just making it worse by publically repeating something she probably heard someone else say they heard bh say.  So if any of those factual scenarios are stretched or outright lies, then GnR is vulnerable.  It sure looks to me like GnR is trying to shift the blame around that cancellation of that concert to Buckethead.  Maybe there are big penalties involved, maybe the risk of a libel suit is small potatoes in comparison.  yikes
Megan esq.

i had the same thoughts. it really kills me

help us travis!

Dizzy Reed\'s wife posted this on their board:


"hey spider that is not bs!! he was only in it to get a larger and more lucrative contract with sanctuary. he even said that he didn\'t care about guns any more because he had the new deal. Like i said before when I could not elaborate. he is an ass..."

wow, man, wow. some crazy shit happening here

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i need both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :\'(
