So my guitarist joined Guns n Roses....

[Joe Nerve]

...it's not everyday that I get to post something with a title like that.

Bumblefoot did his first show with them last night as the new guitarist. I cried actual tears of joy for him when he told me he signed the contracts late the other night. Our upcoming European tour had to be postponed, but I get the feeling this is going to have some impact on the next tour we do. I'll wait.

I've known for weeks, but had to keep my mouth shut. Feels good to finally let people who know the tour has been cancelled, why it's been cancelled. Just felt I had to share this news and let the family know.

GnR seems to be struggling lately, maybe this can do something for them.

Happy for him

Congrats to him! Hopefully good things come to him and to you.

That's good news, Joe! Tell him "Good Luck" from the Forum!

Send our best wishes to him.

[RitchieDarling]

[Joe Nerve]

he's playing an ernie ball right?

Of course!

Actually he uses Ernie Ball strings, and plays Vigier guitars. If he didn't play Vigier I'm sure he'd play Ernie Ball, but Patrice from Vigier has done some incredible things for this guy.

I hope when the tour is done he sticks with you guys because Bumblefoot has more of a future in the long run.

Hey Joe that is great! They auditioned everyone. Trevor Lukather auditioned and grabbed on eof his dads old t shirts not thinking much of it and it was a Black death Vodka shirt (slashes old vodka co) That may not have helped his chances.

I love Patrive and all at Vigier

Man, that is cool. Feel bad for you Joe, but still, cool none the less. Hope he continues working with you guys once GNR are done with recording and touring. Glad to see you are happy for him.....sign of true friendship. Good luck in what ever you do from here my friend.

[Joe Nerve]

Man, that is cool. Feel bad for you Joe, but still, cool none the less. Hope he continues working with you guys once GNR are done with recording and touring.

We're totally still doing the Bumbelfoot thing. I'd have a noose around my neck if we weren't. This is great news for him, and the rest of us too. Our tour has only been postponed.

Thanks all fer the good words. Tonight is his second show. I'm going to hang with them tomorrow.

Joe, I can understand....that is still good news that you guys will still continue with Bumblefoot. Tell him I hope all goes well with GNR and I hope all goes well with you also.
