    Richard Fortus is WAY better than Buckethead. Buckethead is a clown, a stupid shredder who plays without heart and soul. It's just guitar masturbation. Hoppefully, he is gone, he was ridiculous on stage and had zero charisma and zero stage presence.

    Fortus blows Buckethead away.

    There aren't many players out there whose technical playing surpasses Buckethead's. Just b/c he has a lame schtick. And, yes, pearl jam is slang for semen. Maybe there is another story behind it, but whether it is true or false, pearl jam = semen.

    yeah, but at least slash wasn't named fucking "buckethead" ... what the crap.

    no, he's named "Slash", which is just as fucking dumb.

    i have to admit, Slash is definitely a cool name.

    Much cooler than The Edge or Flea.

    Buckethead's is pretty awful, but if i could have any guitarist in the world in my band, it would probably be him.

    but still, with all that said, whenever any of these douchebags decided to use a pretentious one word stage name, someone should have smacked them. It only became cool because they became famous. Otherwise, i guarantee you none of Paul Hewson's friends would be sitting in a pub in Ireland with him calling him "Bono." It most likely would have gone like this...

    Paul: Hey guys, i decided i hate my name and i want you all to call me "Bono"

    Drunk friend #1: Bono? More like Homo

    Drunk friend #2: Yeah, you bloody Homo

    Drunk friend #3: hahaha! Hoooooomoooo!

    And then from that day on he would have been known as Homo instead of Bono. Fame is the only reason people will call him "Bono" with a straight face.

    haha.

    some of them are pretentious,
    but guys like Flea and Slash ... they had those names since their youth.

    Slash's story was that one of his friends in gradeschool used to call him that ...
    flea ... well ... he was "the flea" since the movie suburbia, at least ... and god knows the chilipeppers weren't much of famous at that time ...

    sometimes a name is just a name, you get it from a friend, and it sticks.

    from snakepit.org
    . What is SLASH's real name?

    SLASH's real name is Saul Hudson. He was given the nickname "SLASH" by a family friend when he was a boy. He has no middle name.

    yeah but my friends all call me "Revenge", and i certainly wouldn't use that as a stage name.

    on second thought....maybe i would. lol

    One time I was trying to print a picture of me so I could give it to a friend to cheer him up after he was diagnosed with cancer, but the printer jammed, and my friend died.

    Ron Wood, yes, he looks like a young Ron Wood. Fortus is a very good guitarist don't you think?

    yes.....too bad he's in a crap "cover band" that will never put out an album.

    This is not a crap band. They are all very talented. You can say what you want about Axl, but he has a great band. I bet anything this new version of GN'R will be the biggest band in the world when Chinese Democracy comes out. They sold out the Madison Square Garden within 15 minutes back in 2002. 15 minutes! Once people will hear the studio versions of "the blues", "madagascar" or "IRS", they will be blown away.

    I think "Chinese Democracy" will embrase the world when it comes out. The record is rumoured to be one of the greatest album ever...the music will speack for itself. Never forget that Axl Rose is a musical genius. yes sometimes he is a douchebag, but musically, he is one of the greatest frontman and songwriter ever.
    The talent never dies.

    I like Gn'R and I reckon CD COULD be good, the talent is there in the Band, but I'm just not sure anymore.

    dude.
    we all WANT to believe you.

    we are just fed up with axl's bullshit,
    and tired of waiting for an album whose name surfaced over ten years ago, but any shred of physical evidence is still yet to arrive.

    i hear the braided studio monkey has an entire 25,000 sq. ft. storage facility in the san fernando dessert full of tape and digital caches of "incomplete songs", riffs, licks, snippets, some kiddie porn, and a few copies of tommy lee's own video -- just so he can "get a handle" on the competition ...

    we all know axl has a small ding-dang ....
    we just want to hear his chinese yin-yang.

    c'mon now, motherfucker.
    release that shit!

    Yeah, I also want it comes out soon. I mean, have you heard "IRS" or "The Blues"? There is so much potencial man! If the album is as good as those songs, it will sell 20 million copies!
