#31 Re: Guns N' Roses » What IF Robin Finck has left GNR. Will you still follow GNR? » 897 weeks ago
Robin who?
Does that answer your question? Seriously.. I could give a fuck all. Just release the record then I will wait before I put the crown of thorns on Robin's head like many have seemed too already.
aw come on. can't you at least give him some respect for his decade long tenure with the band and countless performances with GnR from Vegas in 2000 up till Japan in 2007?? If you've seen GnR during those years, you'd know he's got a presence on stage that is about equal with Axl Rose.

Robin is my favorite member of the band. I'll support him wherever he is, and yes I hope to see NIN this year but as of right now the closest they come to me is SLC which is 400 miles away. And its not like a whole lot is going on right now in GnR land, so I see this NIN stuff as positive right now. Robin playing in NIN is way better than Robin not doing anything this year.
I have no reason to believe he left GnR until we've heard otherwise. If he left, my interest would drop a little bit, but I would still support the band, give his replacement a fair shake, go see them, visit the boards, etc. There is only one scenario that would cause me to lose complete interest in GnR, but that is for another discussion.

If Finck is gone, its a huge loss. I'm sure Axl will manage and find someone.. but the guy is so unique and talented theres no way it would be the same. Buckethead is a nice thought, but his place is the band is taken by BBF..

support robin for what?? he coundnt even writte a couple of sentences to inform gnr fans about his temporary/permanent exit. there is so may ways now days - very little effort needed - to let your fans know that you appriciate them.
he's communicated with GnR fans before. maybe he doesn't think he needs to because nothing has changed to his status in the band? Maybe things are still be negotiatied and he can't talk about it? we don't know.
Support Robin because he's an amazing artist, a top-notch entertainer, and a humble, genuine guy. He was hugely responsible for making each GnR show I've ever been to a once in a life time experience.

Robin is the shit. If you get a chance to see him this summer with Trent, do it! you won't be disappointed.

Communist China wrote:Most people are extremely happy and glad that someone who plays extremely well instead of just running around like an idiot (Aaron North or Fortus). Also they like it because it's a return of 'Classic NIN' from their heyday of Downward Spiral and The Fragile.
Robin's closing solo is pretty self-explanatory; it's no wonder a lot of NIN fans will always consider him as the definitive lead guitarist. I do find it a bit saddening that so many GNR fans failed to recognize the meaning of such a status over the years. During Robin's original tenure in the band, he was always surrounded by talented musicians on their own right. By the time the Fragility tour was announced, there was a long queue of people out for his job.
The NIN fans are far from through with Robin and he's not completely over them, either. I hate to say it, but all things considered, in his position I'd think very hard if Trent would now offer a chance to become a regular studio contributor and tour for a long time. You rather be loved for what you are or dissed for what you're not?
Robin is awesome in NIN, and i'm REALLY hoping they book a show in Vegas. thanks for posting the vid.
#37 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 898 weeks ago
In my quest to overanalyze this, I was just wondering if the picture on the GNR main page should tell us anything?
Only Axl, Tommy and Richard are pictured. I wonder if Robin may have been left out for a reason?
(YES. I know Ron, Dizzy, etc etc etc are all not there too. Just an observation and probably wrong)
nah man, thats reading too much into it.
My guess is there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't know and thats why nothing has been said yet. who knows tho..

I am not going down the reunion trail. People have been saying reunion for years and it's never happened yet. If Robin left for good, I still don't see a reunion regardless of the state of VR. Axl seems so stubborn when it comes to that, I mean he didn't even show up to the 20th anniversary show. I don't think that Robin leaving will all of sudden turn Axl towards wanting to reunite with his old band members.
exactly

You know the same could be said pretty soon about the current band. There won't be anyone left to sell out. From a band of 8 that recorded the CD sessions only 4 of those guys currently still remain for certain, half the band members now are replacements of replacements. I assume if Robin has left he will no longer deserve to be in the band either?
Robin has a lifelong fan here, regardless of where he is and what band he's in.

Well I'm definitely with you on that one.
You definitely won't be missed.
Good riddance if fakegnr fans leave and just fuck off.
fuck you.
you are the loser here because you come to a board about a lineup that no longer exists, whining and wishing for it to come back. it won't happen either.
