I met my old friend Bumblefoot again last weekend!
Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal was visiting London for a meet and greet with his fans last Saturday (13/12/08).
I have known Ron’s music for about 8 years, and I have known Ron since about 2002.
I drew some caricatures for him, and we kept in touch. In 2005, I finally met him when he toured Europe with Freak kitchen, and that is when I showed him magic for the first time… I guess he was not used to magic:
We have kept contact since. And Ron allowed me to use his music on both my magic videos…
In 2006, Ron joined Guns N’ Roses to replace Buckethead in the line up. His meet and greet was to promote GNR’s latest album, and also Bumblefoot’s latest album, “abnormal”. I met Ron again, and we were very happy to see each other again. Ron autographed my copy of “Chinese Democracy” commenting on the trick I showed him!
