Hardly think so

A bit odd isn't it? Doesn't make sense.

Scenario A) He got bored and left
Scenario B) He knows CD won't be out anytime soon (or ever).

I think Mysteron is someone in the Tommy section of the band. He knew all about that tour Tommy did 4 years ago. He is obviously the real deal because Jarmo would have censored him years ago if it wasn't so.

Influence on your website and forum is a tricky thing. I've been there myself. Parts of a specific band pulling me from both sides. In the end I made a decision and went with one of them. In that case it was a pretty easy choice, but whether I liked it or not, my opinions and doings were formed by the band members involved. When the singer or guitarist or whatever comes up to you and tells you "listen, heres what happened and this is what you do" you stop and listen. For me now, it's impossible to give that band member a bad review of his new work. In my case that's also easy because he never puts out bad albums anyway, but just to show how hard it is to please everyone when you're being pulled by very influential people and childhood heroes.

Like I thought, they have absolutely no idea what Robin is doing. Quite fascinating once you start to think about it. Either Robin had no idea they were negotiating the release of CD or Robin knows something we dont.

And now we may all laugh at the same time

Copies of copies of copies

That one made me laugh

You guys are even more negative than me, but you have a few good points.

I think Axl really wants this to be a band and he wants it to be contribution from all parts involved. However, Axl have such a spotty reputation he has basically become way to leanient to handle a band. They need to be smacked a little around and set in their place. Jesus, how many drummers can advertise their name as "GNR drummer" now? Just who the fuck IS the drummer of GNR? That question was never even answered and it's stupidity beyond what stupidity is thought to be.

I wasn't always this negative. I have supported this idea and band all the way since 2000. Buckethead was an amazing feat to GNR. So was Robin. It was a looming super group with their own album and own image. That image...well..what is that image right now?

But there's a point you reach where you just have to stop and ask "ok, what the hell is going on?". No album, core members quitting and a horrid way of communicating with their fanbase.

Seriously, an interview with GNR's Richard Fortus done by a GNR website and he can't answer the GNR questions??? Just what the bloody fuck is that? He may have done the right thing that Fortus by not answering to the questions, but it is about time to look just a little bit further than to the tip of your nose and ask the question:

"Why is it like that?".

Over at HTGTH they say that Richard doesn't answer GNR questions because of bad experiences with it and how his words are taken as news. That may be so. But WHY does the media and fans take HIS words and news? Maybe because there are a problem in how GNR communicates? If they communicated properly, Richards words wouldnt count for more than that...words. So instead of blaming us and the media for it, they might look at their own system first and find out WHY it happens.

Now for the big finale, what does past history and songs written by outsiders (like Beatiful) got ANYTHING to do with news or how his words are interpreted by fans and media?

Horrible.
