Yeah--sad to see him go. Loved his work on Chinese Democracy. Good luck to him, hope to hear the other songs he did with GN'R.

For RF fans--make sure to check out NIN's The Slip and the live DVD/CD And All that Could Have Been.

Its was probably hard pretending to be someone you weren't, discouraging to rewrite something you wrote! Never was a NIN's fan myself! I can respect your reasons for cutting of your ties with GNR. Thanks for the time, talent and effort spent with the real (Axl) deal... Your definitely different too! Good luck with NIN

goodbye robin. all the best to you with nin and whatever you may do in the future. and thank you for those awesome solos and the entertaining performances.


Its was probably hard pretending to be someone you weren't, discouraging to rewrite something you wrote! Never was a NIN's fan myself! I can respect your reasons for cutting of your ties with GNR.

and the reasons are? i mean, do you  think he left because it was too hard or something? nobody knows why he left and unless he speaks, we'll never know his reasons.

Thanks Robin, it was a good run and good luck for everything else!!!  we'll have great memories of the tours and of course the albums!

Robin - our stage presence is great and you did some great work on Chinese Democracy. I look forward to whatever you decide to do with NIN (Hopefully I'll see you on the NIN-JA tour), and whatever way you might decide to be involved with Guns again.

Who is everyone talking to? I mean has Robin ever been in here? I don't remember him ever doing that.

Robin is cool but, I am getting pretty excited about this ashba dude. Not in a gay way (not that there is anything wrong with that). The dude just obviously kicks ass..

On a related note, DJ posts on the message board on his website, so he certainly seems fan friendly.

To Robin,

I followed you from NIN to GNR back then and I enjoyed what you bought to the band very much.
Thanks for the great work on "Chinese Democracy", and for inspiring me to continue playing guitar.
Your personality and your guitar work will be missed in GNR.

Very sad to see you go.. but wish you all the best in the future.

Regards
Ben

The fact that he doesn't post here does not tell us that is 100% he never came here or read what we wrote

Axl Rose first post here was December 2008, and he mentions Jarmo in Pukkelpop, 2002.


Title: Re: Thank you, Robin Finck!
Post by: Bandita on March 22, 2009, 06:24:07 PM
Point understood but he is no longer in the band at this point besides for his album contributions.  Chances are slim that he would be reading here.  His legacy is a part of GNR, though.

Robin was never a real interactive guy with the fans like BBF is or Axl has become lately.

Thank you Robin for all you brought to this band ... for your amazing life preformence ... for your crazyness .. for your abillity to keep re-inventing yourself... We trully regret your absense ... and you will allways be a part of GNR fans hearts.

Hope to see you soon in another project

Post by: COMAMOTIVE on March 24, 2009, 02:08:40 PM
Very good idea

Wish it could've lasted longer but what went on behind the scenes - none of us really know

Better is up there with some Gnr classics, imo - and from what we understand - you are mostly responsible for this

Your solo in the Blues is tremendous as well

Good luck man

Thank you Robin for your contributions to this band and the album. Your solos were absolutely stunning.

But I won't thank you for bailing on GNR  without having the balls to tell the rest of the band or your fans what your intentions were. You slapped us in the face on that one.


Title: Re: Thank you, Robin Finck!

Good work on the CD Robin, but a pretty retarded move to bolt just before its' release.

Why the hell would you want to go back to a band that gave away it's last album for free? I don't see any money in that ???

Axl did say that Robin led the most unconventional lifestyle of the group.....if he's rather play with NIN that's cool, he did it in a disrespectful way to GNR & it's fans. Who knows what's going thru his head.

thank you for the inspiration Robin, i'll follow the NINJA tour closely.

i hope you come back, there aren't many artists like you now-a-days, but either way, just do what makes you happy and continue to make music and playing it live.

Yeah.. I hated the guy first, didn't like his style on 01-02 tour. But Robin became my favourite during the 06-07 tour and he did amazing job on Chinese Democracy too. So I'd just like to thank him for that, sad to see him go.

Oh, I was so excited about Ashba joining GnR that I forgot to post here.

In time, Thanks Robin, for all your accomplishments in GnR, for the live performances, for what you took part in Chinese Democracy, you'll always be in our heart and our ears.

If there are no hard feelings between you and GnR, you could guest appear in the next tour, just for once.

We all love you and respect you very much! Goodbye and good luck with everything you do!
