i am not sure about the show you went to but i think he is a good centerpiece/lead guitarist. he makes up for his lack movement on stage with personality (his appearance mainly) and amazing leads.
Robin even then though was the guitarist with the most leads...bumble basically was basically doing the same parts as BH had before....from what i remember...though i dont recall bh doing the rhythm stuff much
hey gimme a break it was 6 years ago...i went to Toronto both times BTW
both shows were great, weren't they?

wow...are you for real? did you see gnr in 06? i Ron did half the show on an acoustic playing rhythm along with Fortus
anyway BH aint coming back either...i dont think anyway besides in 02 BH wasnt really a centre peice so much as an accessory, like NR for example i dont even think he was on stage at the show i went to until he part came up in the outro ... he also hung out in the shadows alot...his highlght was definately his solo peice

I agree that a Finck departure is a major blow to the CD era fanbase. He is the one that the younger gen of fans(and some older as well) identify with in that role. Love him or hate him, Finck leaving creates a void that will be difficult to fulfill.
However, there's a pot on my stove that's cooking, and it smells like a reunion.
Axl hires new management
VR implode
Finck's status up in the air and not available for at LEAST a year
Other CD era members doing their own projects
Do the math.
was thinking the same thing but didn't want to open that can
dream lineup:
axl
slash or bucket
izzy
tommy s
brain
dizzy
tracy and roberta

IMO bucket/fortus is the best combo available so that would be cool with me
Would be cool to go back to a guitar tandem. If they do that and drop a keyboard player, it would look like a real band again.
it should be bucket and finck however.... sorry, i don`t see fortus great talent. is it because he managed to play the rocket queen and first november rain solo live? i guess most fortus fans like him because he resembles izzy...
face it, fortus is probably the only member of the 2002 gnr line up, that could be replaced by anyone. even pitman and dizzy shouldn`t be underestimated.
if finck leaves, now even the harcore fans of the new band won´t support this mess anymore (after the hardcore fans of the old gnr stopped 10 years ago obviously...)

That could very well be.
I'm just really confused at the moment, since everything seemed to shape up really good with Dr. Pepper, a new management and (possible) "listenings" to some of the new songs with other major music company suits.
What makes me think that people are reading too much into it? Well, the fact that Robin hardly has done anything outside of GN'R during these last years and now makes a complete 180 with rejoining Nine Inch Nails (which is a VERY big act compared to Frank playing in New York at a club or something in that matter) for touring may cause people to believe that he's leaving Guns N' Roses for good instead of thinking that it might just be something to keep him occupied until the new management and Axl decides to do something "radical" with GN'R and Chinese Democracy.
I don't know. I just don't know.
This whole thing makes me think about Buckethead coming back, which I can't explain either.
me too - i have thought that since axl's statement responding to the dr pepper stance in addition to that being the rumor a few years back.
in which case bumblefoot may be done for the time being as well since he was replacing bucket.

i don't know richard plays bucket's parts live. that shouldn't affect the finckster. besides, didn't he say bucket would remain on the album a while back also?
I was being sarcastic.
I'm of the opinion right now that Finck's still in GNR and everyone's freaking out prematurely.
you are asking me, war, for peace?????
you pussy!!!!
j/k

#2349 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 898 weeks ago
This is supposed to be a band. I never saw GNR as Axl plus a bunch of others playing. I always saw it as a band and Axl too judging from what he said about everyone contributing. Now, one major line up change is ok with me if the situation is right, but another one? A band just cant keep on changing key members! That's not a band to me but a fucking business company and I won't have it.
beta?
#2350 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 898 weeks ago
I can't believe some of the posts I'm reading. Axl and Robin have grown together? Doing what? Not being in the same place 99% of the time? Jesus. Who cares if he's gone or not? The band survived losing it's 2 guitarists with the most impact on it's sound (Slash and Izzy), it can survive losing Robin and any other member yet to appear on an album without skipping a beat.
lol
only cause i partially agree
