Buckethead on Chinese Democracy

[minh]

The new Guns N Roses album that is! Nothing political here..lol Just heard the rest of the album previewed online. Awesome album! Some songs, I can tell it\'s Buckethead playing and he does an incredible job on it! Even if you\'re not a Guns N Roses fan, this album is still worth a listen. Album comes out this Sunday at Best Buy and this Tuesday for the rest of the stores. If you guys had a listen with it or end up buying the album, please tell me what you think of it! Thanks!

Edit:Just found out the album isn\'t going to be released at all stores until the beginning of next year. For now, its a Best Buy exclusive and itunes.

I have the album (recieved it on Friday from HMV). Its interesting. The sound is one of lots going on, all at once. At times its good, at times messy. For a Guns N\'Roses album, I\'m none too keen on the eletronic wizardry going on.

Both Buckethead and Brain are on the album. What\'s not so good is, a drummer named Frank has replaced some of Brains drumming (two drummers per song?), which makes zero sense, and a guitarist named Ron does some shredding. They should have stuck with Buckethead.

(From the booklet) Brain would like to thank Christ, Viagra, and The Right To Choose.
- not the longest list in the world. It sounds kinda odd, like Brain either A. Don\'t know anyone, or B. Is trying to say something.

Really enjoy Bucket\'s work here. There Was A Time is an instant classic.

I like his acoustic flamenco style in "If the World". Yes, Frank Ferrer did redo some of Brain\'s drum tracks from the credits I\'m seeing per song. Glad Axl left most if not all of Buckethead\'s guitar parts. Axl did replace all of Brian May\'s parts in "Catcher in the Rye" with his current guitarist lineup. Axl could\'ve replaced some of Bucket\'s parts with the current guitar players, but he left most of it in...because Buckethead is that dang good to meet Axl\'s very very high standards. Overall, this album is just amazing!

The acoustic flamenco style in "If the World" is just great. It\'s not Guns N\'Roses, its just great all the same. Thats the side of Chinese Democracy I like most.

Well I gotta say I\'m pleased that Bucket\'s parts stayed in a lot of these songs. I expected that Axl would have Bumblefoot rerecord all of his parts. I don\'t care for the actual album much, I get a little annoyed with the singing most of the time. Even still, hearing Buckethead behind it is really cool, worth a listen for sure.
