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?* http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bernadette-single/id415822662 *
