Transcript:

Ponch Satrio: Okay, this is my friend, Bumblefoot, here.

Bumblefoot: [?]

PS: Vigier, Vigier booth. Amazing guy [?] what you're doing?

BF: I can't remember five minutes ago! Last year... what year was last year?

PS: 11? 2011.

BF: Okay, I know. I produced a bunch of people, I produced an artist from Mexico named Poc, P-O-C. She's a female singer, rock artist, really good stuff and this year we're putting out her music, uhm, an old rapper named Scarface. He was in a group called the Ghetto Boys way back when. And I just finished, I laid guitar on his songs and and did the final mixes and the mastering for his album, that will be coming out this year. I did a US tour and a South American tour with Guns N' Roses and we're doing more touring this year. I've been putting out a song-a-month. I was able to pull off 9 months of it before I had to hit the road and all, but what I would do- [coughing] Crazy night last night! Still getting the night out of it. I'm gotta [?]. So, I would put out a song every month [?], I would release the song, and then I would put out a transcription along with backing tracks and boosted guitar mixes as a guide, and things like that, just for guitar players, it would have the notation, the fingers, the picking, like everything. And I also put of the stems of the recordings so people could do their own mixes. So for every song I've been doing that. It's a whole bunch of stuff for each song. The last I put out was the Pink Panther theme [?]. So I did a version of that and I had all the guys from Guns N' Roses play on it. So I pretty much put out the only new Guns N' Roses music myself. [laughs]. It's missing Axl and Dizzy, so it's really new Guns N' Roses. Like Guns without Roses. So that's what I've been doing. [?] putting out my music, touring with Guns, producing artists, and partying one hell of a lot.

PS: [?] solo album? Any idea about solo album?

BF: I don't know about [?] albums, I just put out songs. If I do an album I need to have a lot of time [?]. And it's hard to do that when [?]. I'm trying to bite off small bites at the time. Just a song, and a song, and a song.

PS: Everybody in Indonesia [?]

[something about Guns N' Roses touring Indonesia with Bumblefoot being polite and non-committal].
