JAKARTA - Former Guns N 'Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal is known to be very close to Indonesia. He often collaborates with Indonesian musicians both on stage and in studios.
Not long ago, the Sons Of Apollo guitarist took part in a collaboration project called Dewa 19 Feat. All Stars. This project plays Ahmad Dhani's song Love Is Blind, a whole old song popularized by Mahadewa with the original title Cinta It's Blind.
Not alone. In this song, Bumblefoot is accompanied by a number of 'five-star' international musicians. Call it, Simon Phillips (ex Toto), Derek Sherinian (ex Dream Theater), Dino Jelusick (Whitesnake), Billy Sheehan (Mr Big, Talas), and Jeff Scott Soto (Son Of Apollo, ex Yngwie Malmsteen).
Some time ago, VOI had the opportunity to talk to Bumblefoot about the creative process behind the production of the song Love Is Blind. During the session, we also asked about when the guitarist would return to Indonesia.
The musician whose full name is Ronald Jay Blumenthal has come to Indonesia three times, namely in November 2012 when he appeared at MEIS, Ancol, Jakarta, with Guns N' Roses, October 2013 while in action at the Jakarta Blues Festival via Ponch Satrio et al, and November 2017 when taking part in the Hi-End Guitar Experience event at Plaza Semanggi.
Yes! Bumblefoot already knows and is very close to a number of Indonesian musicians because of his humble nature. However, he could not confirm when he would return to our country.
"I tour much less than usual, spending more time teaching and producing," Bumblefoot revealed his current activity.
"I don't know when I will play in Indonesia again, but I hope to come back," continued he, who never forgot Indonesia.
