#BuyBernadette Campaign.

When I had a look at the iTunes song chart today I was greeted by names such as Bruno Mars, (Puff Daddy's latest synonym) “Diddy” and Britney Spears.

I concluded that the dire state of mainsteam music is cringeworthy.

Then I pondered to myself, how could we, as fans of Guns N' Roses, deliver a huge “Fuck you” to what is percieved be “normal” music?

At this point it dawned on me. GN'R guitarist and champion of the non-mainstream Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal recently released a cover of the Four Tops Motown classic “Bernadette”.

“What a perfect mechanism to signal our frustrations at what is deemed okay to listen to!” I thought.

I firmly believe that if we all buy Ron's single and position him in the charts (as high as possible obviously) then we will accurately represent the minority who opt to favour composition which isn't fortunate enough to be plastered on every nook and cranny of society.

Not only that but we'll be helping a genuinely nice guy (who is also arguably one of the best technical guitarists in the world) become liberated from the supressions of modern day “music”.

Who's with me?

Ever wondered how you could thank (implicitly) Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal for personally greeting you before or after a Guns N' Roses gig? Ever thought “just how could I help this guy whose went out of his way to ensure my satisfaction”?

Ever felt like you need to make a statement about the condition of popular music?

Ever wanted to become involved in a legitimate campaign to put real musicians before Disney sponsored wannabes?

If you are edging (even remotely) towards a “yes” on any of the above then I would implore thee to get involved in our initiative and help make something special happen.

Thank you. If you don't have the software/hardware to buy the track it's okay. Just spread the word. Getting this campaign to every possible outlet will determine whether or not it is successful. So if you can publicize it (in whatever way you can) you'll be helping greatly.

i bought the track and will encourage every one to

[hitmanhart408]

this "campaign" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of. Millions of people listen to Britney and Diddy. How many listen to bumblefoot? 5? (sarcasm). you'll never get bumblefoot on the charts.

now if you want to just buy the song to enjoy for yourself, then thats fine.

If you've got any degree of enthusiasm about this initiative you may want to print out copies of this flyer and stick them up around your town/neighbourhood/village/colony. (Thanks in advance to those who bother.) http://bit.ly/i8yS8d

this "campaign" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of.

I draw confidence from this statement considering a brief run through your posting history reveals you asked a Guns N' Roses forum to vote your pal onto the W.W.E “Tough Enough” programme.

how is that even the same dumb fuck? its a competition between people at the same level. Its not like I was asking for votes to help him surpass Triple H, like you guys trying to get Bumblefoot to surpass Diddy etc.

and fyi...he's still in the running and has had multiple follow ups with the casting directors.

You implied that I was deploying retarded logic. Despite the fact that it was you who pleaded with a Guns N' Roses (tagged music, hard rock, aspiring musicians etc.) forum to vote for something W.W.E (tagged muscley guys who wear y-fronts and “wrestle”) related. Simple concept really.

Can you outline where I stated the objective was to put Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal before Diddy in the iTunes charts? You fabricated that intention yourself.

This campaign is to get people buying Ron Thal's releases (with a look to securing a place on the iTunes chart). This initiative then will be repreated for the release of “Invisible” and his summertime EP until we get to a point whereby Ron is either positioned on the charts (album and/or single) or is fairly close.

Comprende?

it's sad that someone can't support an artist without being called a "dumb fuck"
