Title: Where is Robin? Post by: Neemo on December 01, 2005, 11:28:26 AM Just posted this in another thread but I thought it might be a cool topic to discuss.
What the hell has been up to since 2002? we haven't heard shit from him have we? I think he may be working with Axl to complete the record, maybe re-doing Bucketheads parts? A couple statements from richard recently are interesting to support this theory too Quote from: Richard Don't give up on us, we are making progress and things are starting to roll very quickly now. and Quote from: Richard There are still some last minute details that are being recorded. Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: nesquick on December 01, 2005, 11:40:05 AM I hope he is fine.
I'm convinced that Robin and Richard re-recorded some Buckethead's parts, It would be logical and normal. he is not part of the band anymore. I feel it. Richard (who lives in NY) can do it through amplitube and then can send his parts to Axl (I suppose), Robin lives near Axl's home in LA. It's easy for him to go to the studio with Axl. Just a phone call. It could explains the delays. Once again, it's just a supposition...just my intuition, so take it easy. Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: RichardNixon on December 01, 2005, 12:09:54 PM There is no mention of GN'R on his site.
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: Neemo on December 01, 2005, 12:14:05 PM There is no mention of GN'R on his site. Actually if you go to Quest and then FAQ it says: Quote from: Robin's web site q: When will 'Chinese Democracy' be released? a: this is not a source for that info. and this link http://www.robinfinck.com/quest/faq/gnr_fans.php which says: Quote from: Robin's web site gnr fans: to be clear, the request to refrain from emailing me about Guns n' Roses is not a diss to you or to the band or to anyone. i simply am not eager to instigate that conversation until an official release date for the album is made public. otherwise, i'd go a little nutzo tossing "i dunnos" and "can't quite says" in every direction. i trust you may understand. there will most certainly be a time to embrace this new ship. let's first allow it to launch from the pad in all it's glory. i look forward to such a time. what is real, is that i am alive and inspired and look forward to sharing this new chapter with you. thank you for your support and for your enthusiasm along this long and winding off-road trek. each email to me personally is gratefully received. see you- r ob i? ? ? ? n Title: Re: Where is Robin?

As Report has it he's done some works for games and films. And he wrote for the ballet his wife choreographed. the other report runs that he's also helping African kids in sufferings. Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: C0ma on December 01, 2005, 12:24:13 PM Robin seems to have more intrerests outside of music than the other members of the band. So where we see and hear Richard, Tommy and Dizzy Touring and releasing solo pojects...... Robin is going on photo trips out of the public eye......
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: Evolution on December 01, 2005, 12:28:36 PM I guess part of the delay is re-recording liek nesquick said. I mean really what is the rush? When it's done it's done : ok:
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: RichardNixon on December 01, 2005, 12:29:17 PM Robin fucking rules. I love his avant-garde style. It's genuine and brings something into the band.
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: WAR41 on December 01, 2005, 12:45:03 PM Robin lives near Axl's home in LA. It's easy for him to go to the studio with Axl. Really? I didnt know this. Where did you hear it? Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: Scabbie on December 01, 2005, 12:52:50 PM Robin fucking rules. I love his avant-garde style. It's genuine and brings something into the band. It would be even better if we knew more about what it brings to the band. Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: nesquick on December 01, 2005, 01:01:07 PM Robin lives near Axl's home in LA. It's easy for him to go to the studio with Axl. Really?? I didnt know this.? Where did you hear it?

Where did you hear it? Blimey no wander he's still in GN'R. I wish my boss would buy me a house. :drool: Title: Re: Where is Robin?

His website should give some indication as to what he has been up to for the last couple of years In 2003, he was doing some wierd cirque activity in Cali. He was playing guitar with some people who did acrobatics to rock music (or something to that effect). Title: Re: Where is Robin?

Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: jameslofton29 on December 01, 2005, 10:55:41 PM He accidentally got locked in the vault that contains Chinese Democracy. Hopefully, Axl notices his absence, because he will run out of air 'soon'.

Hopefully, Axl notices his absence, because he will run out of air 'soon'. hahahaha that was real funny, but i would hope robin could get out cause i like him. not as much as 4tus but 85902135 times more than bucket.Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: -Jack- on December 02, 2005, 02:28:22 AM why does everyone hate the bucket!? listen to that solo in IRS and tell me Robin could pull that off during a concert...
Its possible.. but.. hmm.. well Im sure Uncle Axl and Co. have figured out how to work with out Bucket.. but.. he was freakin awesome.. and im sure his contributions on the album will be "off da hook." You guys are just looking at his image.. -jack Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: Evolution on December 02, 2005, 10:47:14 AM The fans opinion of Robin's playing will go up after the release. He will be playing his music, rather than someone else's : ok:

I would be the 1st supporter of robin if I like his guitar contribution to the record. But the record needs to come out. Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: J? on December 02, 2005, 08:34:11 PM personally, when I saw Robin live in TO with GNR, his whole persona was pretty awesome. I digged his crab spider dance strut thing while playing guitar.
Hes got his own style and its pretty rocking. Wordtro, Jimmer Title: Re: Where is Robin?

Post by: nesquick on December 03, 2005, 07:36:06 AM I don't know if I "hate" buckethead. I just feel nothing when he plays guitar. it's like hearing a robot and watching a muppet show. I want this band to have success, i want them to succeed, not to fail. BH was a factor of failure for me in 2002. I just don't want it to happen again.
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: Voodoochild on December 03, 2005, 05:09:31 PM You said it all. It was a failure to you. A LOT of people don't think so - and I guess Axl too.
Title: Re: Where is Robin? Post by: VolcomStone on December 03, 2005, 08:26:27 PM i think buckethead is a great guitarist and i really enjoy some of his albums (mainly "colma" and "population override"). having said that, i also think that he was a poor choice for guns n' roses. he could really nail those solos, but his weirdness and style of playing just seemed more fitting for his other projects. i also think that three guitarists was completely unnecessary. i think the current line-up is perfect, and i hope the band stays as it is. richard fortus and robin finck are both amazing talents, and i'm ready to hear their own creative work if and when "chinese democracy" is released.
