Ron Bumblefoot Thal is Gonna Kick My Ass !!! : Interview

Well, if he wasn’t such a nice guy he probably would, so I am grateful that this will not happen.

I reached out the the former Guns N Roses guitarist when I decided to start my own website via Kapptive Studios here in the Soo. Tony built me a great site and I needed to reach out to former interviewees and I knew Ron would help out as he is just a great and generous guy.

Long story short; he agreed in a flash and the interview was set up, confirmed, and it went without a glitch. I wanted to post it right away, but life throws you curveballs, such as a granddaughter being born and that sort of thing.

I also had previous articles to write and publish so maybe a lesson of “Patience” is what I need a tutorial in.

Anyway, Ron my apologize !!!!

In case you have been living under a snow bank here in Canada or in a van down by the river somewhere, Ron Bumblefoot Thal is currently a founding member of Sons of Apollo featuring legends, I mean LEGENDS, Mike Portnoy, Jeff Scott Soto, Billy Sheehan, and Derek Sherinian.

In 2019 he was tapped to keep the train going by being the singer/guitar player in the Supergroup Asia (Heat of the Moment, Wildest Dreams, etc.)

And…before this Ron burst on to the stage, by being recruited by Axl Rose to front a segued version of the mega hit band Guns N Roses in 2006 where he thrilled audiences worldwide until 2014.

Although Wikipedia is not 100% gospel as there are issues with it; for the most part generally speaking, unless the subject is not a political figure, I find that most of the info is accurate outside of spelling/grammar errors.
