When Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal was six, he dreamed of being Gene Simmons. “I wanted to be a bassist and breathe fire and spit blood,” he says. That didn’t happen, but the path he did take – guitar hero, being a member of Guns N’ Roses, his own hot sauce brand – turned out pretty well.
After 10 years in various bands (Sons Of Apollo, Asia, Whom Gods Destroy), he’s back to being a solo artist, and has a new all-instrumental album Bumblefoot… Returns!, featuring guest spots from Brian May and Steve Vai.
