Backstageaxxess.com's Gus Griesinger has issued an interview with GUNS N' ROSES lead guitarist Ron"Bumblefoot" Thal. The following is an excerpt:
Q: One of the big CDs that came out late last year was Chinese Democracy. It was a huge buzz surrounding the release of the CD. Why did it take the band so long to tour in support of the record?
A: "There were other possible or potential tours or itineraries in the works that just didn’t happen for whatever reason. This one did though. Why? (laughs) I don’t try to know anything. My philosophy as time goes on is swinging more towards 'ignorance is bliss.' The less I know the happier I am. I don’t want to know a damn thing except tell me when to get on stage and play."
Q: Guns N’ Roses are scheduled to perform in Japan in December. I’m sure your looking forward to it. What can the fans expect when you guys do perform live?
A: "I can't give anything away as we are trying to keep it a surprise until we do it. We will be playing a lot of old stuff, newer stuff, a lot of bombs n' pyro (laughs.) I'm dodging the question – you know, the stuff you see at a big rock show."
