RON "BUMBLEFOOT" THAL On GUNS N' ROSES - "If I Was There It Wouldn’t Be A Reunion; I Would Be The Thing Stopping It And I Don't Want To Be That"

LA Weekly recently scaught up with former Guns N' Roses guitarists Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Gilby Clarke to discuss life after G'N'R and the band's Not In This Lifetime reunion tour. Following is an excerpt from the story.

Bumblefoot: "If I was there, it wouldn’t be a reunion. I would be the thing stopping it from being a reunion, and I don’t want to be that. I would be the fly in the soup. Did I think they were gonna call? No. The way things ended with us, nobody was going to be calling anybody, unfortunately."

Clarke: "“I didn’t feel I needed to make a phone call about it; I didn’t feel I needed to plead my case. If it happens it happens, and if it doesn’t it doesn’t. It didn’t, and when it didn’t happen, I just went, ‘Uh, well, there it goes.’ I’m being honest about it. I have such good and fond memories from those years that I don’t need to relive it again.”
