When asked about the previously rumored GUNS N' ROSES U.S. tour which was slated to begin in February, Thal said in a recent interview, "We're supposed to be and suddenly there's silence. I don't think it's gonna happen. Figuring February is weeks away and I've yet to see a single confirmed date . . . With everything, all it takes is just one link in the chain to get weak and everything unravels. So, I don't know what the status is of this U.S. tour that I've been impatiently waiting for." Thal added that he often gets just a week's notice before GUNS N' ROSES does anything. "What'll happen is I'll get a week's notice," he said. "They'll say, 'All right. It's happening. We're FedExing your tickets' . . . for the rest of the world, if you want to plan something, it's months in advance."
Thal last month released the first of a series of singles, a punky guitar-virtuosic cover of THE FOUR TOPS' 1967 Motown hit "Bernadette" The song was recorded in the weeks surrounding Ron's first tour with GN'R as their new guitarist in 2006.
The song is available in MP3 (320kps), AAC, and higher-quality formats FLAC, MP3 HD, Apple Lossless and WAV. An instrumental version is also available in these formats. For guitarists, a "Player Pack" includes a 12-page transcription of the entire lead guitar track (PDF file), accompanied by a Backing Track version of the song (in both MP3 and WAV formats) with everything except the lead/solo guitar parts, so you can play along. And for the studio-savvy, a Producer Pack of mix "stems" — six separate files of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, vocals and backing vocals that you can load into your multi-track software and play with levels, edit, and make your own mixes.
