- RON BUMBLEFOOT sits down with us unraveling the mystery behind the double neck guitar man. Bumblefoot talks about his youth, "oldschool" metal, 80s metal, 90s grunge and of course his time with Axl Rose. He is very interesting, smart with a great sense of humor. This interview is short (10min) but packed with great fun. Stay connected with more upcoming interviews by subscribing now.
Chinese Democracy is a great album, just not a great "Guns N Roses" album. Presenting it as an Axl solo album would have been more appropriate.
Your right Sean, I wish Axl would have just went solo and released amazing music with different artists performing with him like Slash has done. Instead of trying to keep alive a dead band.
20 years of music he has thats went undone and now his voice will never be able to do them justice if they were to be completed.
GnR ❤️
100%. Chinese Democracy was a breath of fresh air. Very under rated.
Imagine GnR if BUMBLEFOOT was still with them instead of Richard Fortus OMG Bumble and SLASH in same band MAGIC
Bumblefoot and Fortus are both better guitarists than Slash from a technical point of view. I’d be more interested to hear what GNR would sound like if those 2 stayed in the band
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 agreed... But axl chose money over artistic expression unfortunately.
This dude was my guitar teacher in NJ circa early 90s. I knew him as Ron Thal. Would teach me 80s riffs and tell me story about the band I was into (like Twister Sister, etc.). Nice fella…….EDIT: my grammar sucks.
THAT is a hell of a memory!
That's awesome Marwan! Ron is a special musician. Amazing guitar player.
Man!!!! Was he your guitar teacher?! You did choose Very well .... Congrats!!!!!
Being an early 80s heavy metal kid growing up was awesome,
Priest Helion did it for me man! 🤘🏻
It sure was, man! I agree 🤟🏼🔥
1982 was the year I became a metalhead .I was 12 ..Ozzy ,Maiden Priest and Scorpions opened the gates..within a year I was into Accept and Mercyful Fate and then the underground became my home.
I miss the record stores man.
Just the fact alone that he mentioned the early Queensryche albums, tells me that we're kindred spirits that definitely grew up in the same time period. The EP, The Warning, and Rage for Order were shocking at the time they were released, very impactful.
Every metalhead from the 80's listened to those albums, dude. Or at least the first EP. After that I got into heavier stuff like Metallica and Slayer, so Queensryche didn't really do it for me anymore, especially since the two albums that followed the EP were more prog than heavy. I go back into them when Operation: Mindcrime came out, then back out of them when Empire came out.
I was on the sound crew for an *event he played as he was just so cool, and down to earth. Totally cool guy to chat with.
(*Carl Palmer's Prog Rock Camp) Chris Pelletier in Philly
That's super cool!
I was at his the Hammerstein ballroom show when he made his debut back in May 2006. Amazing show(Probably top 2 for me of all time)....it was their first show in 3 years and it was in a venue that held like 3000 people.
Ron Thal is one of the greatest guitar talents coming out of New York. He is very much on the same level as Steve Vai and Satch. Not quite the level of Al DiMeola (but then again who is).
These interviews get me… some a these guys it’s like yea about what I thought , then u get a guy like this and you know without a doubt he wld be successful at whatever he chose to do… very intellectual guy and passionate
Ron needs to do voices for anime characters.
He’lol never get credit but he’s one of the best guitarist of all time.
I have to say that after discovering Ron a few months ago l've been slowly finding out this to be true. He's a real guitar god. Listen to Planetary Lockdown. Making a shred guitar song that sounds fresh and interesting in 2020 takes some real skills.
Definitely one of the most technically skilled guitarists that GNR had
can't get enough of these 80's recycle bin interviews, AWESOME
Bumblefoot is one of the most chill artists I’ve ever seen.
I've only seen this guy play on a Hello Kitty Ukulele type thing on Loudwire but he's an incredibly talented musician and singer.
Man I was PISSED When Axl replaced the OG’s but then heard Sons and WHAM!!! What a hard workin dude
This album is dope. \m/
And Ron is a beast on that double neck of his.
Any Sons of Apollo fans here?
Ron's solo in Signs of the Time is the most epic thing I've heard in a decade. The guy is a guitar genius.
"soundtrack to a part of your life"
He is an amazing guitar player .
Add me to the list brothers. Lived it 80s were so bad ass awesome
GNR was badass with Bumblefoot, Fortus, and Ashba🤘🤘🤘
THIS GUY IS GREAT
Loved bumble cause he acts like a human . At AC show I called his name after a solo he looked I have him two thumbs up . Song was over he walked over to said of stage and have a nod and thank you . Guy really appreciated his fans true person .
Sons of Apollo is another great band he plays in.
Very talented and interesting dude. I like listening to what he has to say. He speaks a lot of truth
I loved Bumblefoot in GNR, he really suited ' Chinese Democracy'. He could play all the old songs, and really killed it on the 'Chinese Democracy', new tunes. He and DJ Ashba brough a fresh new style 🤩😍🥰😘🌹❤️🔥❤️🤟💋💯
Two unusual names in guitar rock, Bumble Foot and Bucket Head.
Two stupid annoying names.
Don't steal my name Beazle Arm.
Another great interview
I saw Bumblefoot live in Jakarta with Guns N' Roses back in 2012. Thank you, brother, great memories. I'll never forget it.
Seems like a guy you could easily sit and chat to for hours no matter who you are. Rad player too!
Amazing voice and storyteller with his head screwed on:)
Great stories from a great musician.. I also love the music parts you throw in between the dialogues, Would love to know what songs they are!!!
Hey Ron. I like all your interviews but this one, especially! See ya soon (once we stop turning into zombies!)
This dude seems super cool. I'd love to hang with him
I love listening to Ron play (and talk!), he's awesome.
6:23 and this explains the tragedy of Vanilla Ice
U68's Power Hour! That's how I discovered Voivod and Damien
What a nice guy and so talented.
Love this channel
Truly inspiring...💚🎸
I love grunge, but I'll take "the party, the party" over grunge any day. Life is to short for all that unnecessary depression. The 80's were a happy time. The 90's so depressing.
Yup
Really? I fucking hated the 80's with all that gay happy pop and new wave and preppie and day glo fashions - my only salvation was thrash metal. And I love deep dark intense music and lyrics, so I didn't think that the 90's were depressing at all, but everything pretty much went downhill after Kurt died - the spirit of the 90's grunge and alternative movement died with him.
@@dowens3781 I'm with you on all that new wave bs etc. nothing is perfect. But the dark music from the 80s was also better. Slayer, kreator, obituary, megadeth, anthrax, metallica, danzig etc.
@@gunnerseven7724
That's why I said that thrash metal was my salvation. And Danzig was more early 90's than 80's - his first solo album came out in 1988, but his peak of popularity was in 1991/92/93/94. Obituary were also more of a 90's band - their first album came out in 1989, which is when rock and metal really began to transition out of the style and vibe of the 80's. The end of one decade usually sets the tone for the following one.
I love both but yes even as a massive Grunge fan that shit CANT be listened to a full day haha. (But Warrant cant be listened to for more than an hour so…) 😂
He's a very clean guitarist like Randy California from Spirit:)
Pop sucks now on all levels.
Pretty much, but Doja Cat is pretty cool.
Baddd
Pop in the eighties. Phil Collins, Prince, The Police, Zz Top, etc. Now its dababy featuring lil baby, with one line by stupid ass Cardi B. IT IS GETTING WORSE. So young assholes...just shut up:)
@@floyd49494949
And 70's pop was even better - so many great soulful songs.
@@dowens3781 True
I miss Bumble being in Gnr such a nice guy
ok so his name is Ron . thats cooll. was curious about this
He talks strange. Does anybody know where his accent is from?
New York? 🤷
Really cool
This is an amazing interview and he is an amazing guy. But... the title of the videos specifically says Chinese democracy... this video is 10.21 min long the album is mentioned at 9.17🤔.
It's an amazing video on it's own, no need for the click bate I think. But thanks very much for making and uploading it.
I love how passionately he talks about music
The hair bands had serious moments and feelings in ballads
TOTALLY misleading title. WTF.
Great interview
Who's this?..... Bumblebee beep?....from Nicaragua?
Best GnR guitarists list:
1)Ron Thal
2)Robin Finck
3) Buckethead
4)Slash
5) Richard 4tus
6) DJ Ashba
7)Gilby
And finally, last and least
8) Izzy
Slash is and always will be no. 1
Heavy sexy bluesy riffs by the 100s and he's released so much good music outside of GnR also.
He might not be as technical as the others, but it's guy like him that paved the way for newer generations
That pic of Motley snorting the word CRUE spelled out in coke had me 😆
Chinese Democracy. The album so long anticipated that when it finally came out nobody cared to listen to it.
I did
I thought it was pretty good, but I never listened to it again after I checked out online for the first time.
@@dowens3781 It was good but the moment had already passed when it came out.
I remember buying it the day it came out, strangely it was on a Sunday.
@@stevenlindsey2056 not for me my friend but you're fair to say as you wish
He was the worst of all guitar players in gnr that come after buckethead.
Kind of creepy
Buckethead and Bumblefoot - those lame stage names certainly cost them some potential fans.
You don't know what your talking about
Silent Lucidity kinda put my cigarette out for Queensryche. That was their “Billy Squire” moment I think.
I should check out the rest of their stuff.
You should check out Operation Mindcrime. The whole album tells a story. It also fits so well with today’s environment.
