Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, aka Ronald Blumenthal, is the lead guitarist for the current incarnation of Guns ‘N Roses, performed the Israeli national anthem at a recent show in Tel Aviv. He played unaccompanied, but audience members sang “HaTikva,” which is Hebrew for “The Hope.” After the song, the rest of the band came out and performed their song “Don’t You Cry.” Some people think the performance was a response to groups who want to divest from Israel, while some think it was just a rockin’ good time.
