Vigier gunslinger lives to shred another day


Gun N' Roses guitar player Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal is unhurt after his car was hit by another driver, causing him to crash into two other vehicles.

Bumblefoot, a Vigier endorsee, is obviously made of stern stuff, as he was well enough to tweet shortly after the crash to tell fans about the crash and state "I'm not dead yet."

He later informed fans that "I'm in Guns N' Fucking Roses. This is all like a walk in the park!" and that this wouldn't stop him from working on new solo material.

Bumblefoot replaced Buckethead in GN'R, making his live debut in May 2006. He played on Chinese Democracy, purported to be the most expensive album ever made.

In further GN'R news, it has been announced that guitarist DJ Ashba has joined the band. Ashba replaces Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck
