Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Buckethead will release a set of albums, entitled "In Search Of The", on February 21. While not much is known about this collection, it has been confirmed that there are a total of thirteen albums that have each been personally numbered and monogrammed by Buckethead himself, reports Blabbermouth.net.
According to musician/producer and frequent Buckethead collaborator Travis Dickerson, "This is not a regular CD. It's hand-made, hand-burned. The cover is whatever is deemed to be written on it. This is not a manufactured deal; each one is different and will be numbered and monogramed. No two of these will be the same. I have never heard of an artist doing something like this. This is as direct from the artist to the fan as I have ever heard of.
"As far as the content, I don't know, but the mystery around it is no surprise. Again, I can't speculate because I don't want to mislead anyone, I just don't know anymore. My gut sense is this is a conceptual work, a piece of art. It could contain anything."
Each CD can be purchased separately for $20, while the entire 13-volume collection is available for $200.
But that's not all!
Hopes the classic Guns ‘n Roses line-up will take to the stage again have been raised by original drummer Stevie Adler, reports GIGWise.
Adler has revealed he recently made up his differences with singer Axl Rose – currently the only original member still in the band – and says Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan have also been in talks to get back together.
He says, “I saw Axl, talked with him from ten or 12 at night to eight in the morning. We resolved a lot of s**t.
"I said, 'You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history.' He just grinned and giggled a little bit.
Everybody in his band came up to me and said, "You're the greatest drummer! “We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together!" That's what they said to him!
"I've been talking with Slash. I've been talking with Izzy. He wants a reunion."
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
