another nobody talks about GNR (by Michele Catalano)

ok i knew about the porn movies and the chicken coop, but i didnt know about the dog poop, what a big lol what happened with that?

It was all laid out in the March 2008 issue of Classic Rock magazine. It was a great article.  Here’s a link to a download of the full article:

And here's an excerpt that I typed out from the article.  The excerpt starts after the whole chicken coop was set up, and I highlighted in bold the dog poop stuff.
 Enjoy.

“So Bucket comes and says he needs a TV so he can sit in his chicken coop and watch porn,” says Tom (Zutaut). “And that seemed to really inspire him to record some great stuff. He comes armed with whatever DVDs he needs and he is doing some really great stuff…” 

Buckethead is knee-deep in hardcore chicken shack heaven when one evening Axl turns up for the session.  Zutaut: “Axl sees that Bucket is running this porn – and it is pretty hard cord stuff, it’s not soft porn by any stretch of the imagination – and Axl is really disturbed by it.”

Axl asks Zutaut how long this has been going on and why it was happening.  He’d thought the idea of building the chicken coop was cool, but this?”  He said music is about energy and we are transferring a creative spirit and vibe within the music,” says Zutaut. “He said, ‘I really can’t have the vibe of dirty depraved porn being a part of my record – it is really not what this record is about, you know?’

“Axl is a firm believer that the energy or soul of everyone involved in the process comes through in the final artistic piece – so he works really hard to make sure that comes in and goes out is pure and right for his vision. Which is why Axl was always very disturbed about the former Gunners’ heroin use and what effect it had on their creativity.”

So- as no one’s allowed in the chicken coop, not even Axl – he takes Bucket outside for a talk about how it’s really not right to watch this kind of stuff.

“Then Axl left and Bucket was pretty despondent,” says Zutaut.  “He disappeared for a few days because he was pretty torn up about it.  Not because he was angry or because he thought he should be able to watch what he wants. I think it was more because of the emotional implications that Axl brought up to him: that it wasn’t right to be inspired by shit like that.”

If that wasn’t weird enough, there was also an occasion where Buckethead appeared to be inspired by shit itself. Axl, says Zutaut, had a couple of wolf dogs – three quarters Timber wolf and one quarter dog – and during the recording the dogs had puppies. When Zutaut’s daughter came to the studio, Axl offered to give her a puppy as she’d recently lost her dog. A couple of days later he brings in a puppy. “It’s still on mother’s milk so it’s not like we can take it right away – it’s got to spend another couple of months being nursed – and it’s the cutest little thing,” says Tom, “but it goes into the chicken coop and takes a dump.  And because no one is allowed in there, we wait for Bucket to come in so that we can get his permission to clean it up. So Bucket shows up later to work on his parts and he is mic-ed up so he can record and we hear through the speaker, ‘Oh I love the smell of dog poop …’

“So we’re like, ‘Okaaaaaaay …’ Roy Thomas Baker or one of the engineers says, ‘Well, Bucket we will get it cleaned up’ and Bucket says ‘Don’t take it away. I love the smell of dog poop – leave it right here, don’t let anybody touch it.’  Three days later, the studio stinks to high heaven of dog poop, and finally the studio could not bear it and had it cleaned up. When Bucket came in the next day, he was like ‘Where is my dog poop, man? I told them not to clean it up.’ And was generally bummed out that it had been cleaned up… And in the meantime, the wolf puppy poop had inspired him for a few days to do some great work…”

Zutaut never did get the puppy – it had three months of weaning to go and he was off the project before then.

You're welcome.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It's certainly an interesting article.

well i can see this bitch aint a true gnr fan i mean if she dissing axl and uy1 and cd she aint no gnr fan

[CD06]

The Buckethead stories are completely crazy haha. It is ma how Axl put up with any of that.

As for the article- she makes some points that you can understand, but it is all just opinion so let her have it and enjoy the attention she craves.

We all know Chinese Democracy's time length to make was ridiculous, we all know its a shame that the originals couldnt stay together- there's no need for anyone to deny that.

But to be a GNR fan in 2010, you just need to appreciate the new band and their potential.



I'm so excited to hear a record with Bumblefoot and Ashba on it, I think they will but alot more 'Bluesy' guitar back into the record, but on a slightly bigger sounding record with more layers.
