Guns and Roses have decided to not play the Rock in Rio festival (which was being held in Libson, for some reason). Axl blames Buckethead for the cancellation:
"The band has been put in an untenable position by guitarist Buckethead and his untimely departure," Rose says. "During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment -- despite being under contract -- creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence."
Why on Earth anyone was expecting stability and consistency from a guy who has never been seen in public without a KFC bucket over his head and talks through a hand puppet is beyond me. I've heard Buckethead play a few times; he's got some amazing chops, but I don't know if I'd want to hang out in the same room with him.
