Bumblefoot (aka Ron Thal) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is a recording artist and international touring artist from NYC with eight albums released since 1995. Fronting the band as lead singer/guitarist, the music is hard rock, bordering on quirky and experimental. Known for his unusual guitar-work, Bumblefoot has been on the covers of guitar magazines around the world. His guitar playing can be heard in the Spanish guitar soloing of Jessica Simpson’s Irresistible dance mix, the punky guitar riff of Spike TV’s MXC theme song, in the background of MTV’s The Osbournes, The Real World, and much more…
Bumblefoot works out of his studio in Princeton, New Jersey, where he collaborates with artists as a songwriter/producer and writes for publishing companies, video games and TV shows. Bumblefoot is a volunteer for the MS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates funds directly to Multiple Sclerosis research.
Bumblefoot’s first major recording was for a Shrapnel Records’ compilation CD “Ominous Guitarists From the Unknown” in 1992, on which he performed a guitar version of Chopin’s Fantasie-Impromptu. He released two more CDs on the Shrapnel label. First was the mostly instrumental album The Adventures of Bumblefoot, where he displayed his eclectic style of rhythms and soloing. His second CD was completely different from the first, more lyrically focused and influenced by grunge, but still with guitar solos. After two albums with Shrapnel, Ron Thal adopted the name Bumblefoot and started his own production company Hermit Inc on which he released three musically diverse CDs — Hands, Uncool (2 versions) and 9-11.

The only virtuoso guitarist whose solo work I really love. Strange to think I never would have heard of him if not for an issue of Guitar Player I picked up a few years ago

Ron's like a one-man punk guitar-shred version of Primus. Normal is one of the best albums ever.

Now I can say that my Fender Strat is signed and played by such a man :D! And, f*ck, why this stupid Danko Jones before GnR, why not Bumblefoot and his beautiful music?
