Robin's Guitar Playing

[mikegiuliana]

Re: Robin's Guitar Playing

To borrow a phrase from Axl, "if you don't like it you'll have plenty of time to get used to (it)"? ?

"You?ve got the haters out there but the guys in this band it just rolls off their shoulders because they take a certain pride in their work. They?re hungry and they want to do this for all the right reasons. They want to get this material out there to the people."? Amen to that Axl.? ?

axl has hungry players, to bad axl doesn't have that hunger anymore living the pampered life in his mansion...

as for the topic, everyone fucks up live what can you do..

Live performances are subject to a lot more things variables than that which the controlled studio environment allows.

Exactly. It's only live that ur real guitar skills show (modifying, improvising). It's not easy playing in front of thousands of people. Anybody can do shit in a studio. Heck, when i make mistakes in my recordings, I just keep playing till i get it right and replace my mistakes...

Slash may have been playing in key but he hit all the wrong notes. That is sometimes worse. You can play something out of key and it still can sound good.

Oh my god. 

Honestly , it's better to hear wrong notes in the proper key of the song then wrong notes that arent even in the key of the song. Think about it.

What show was it that the nu-gnr did when they   ` played `    Patience and axl realised he was playing with amatuers , dropped the mic and walked off stage?

Up load that clip and all discussions on this new band can end there.

Brain is the one who threw off the band and didnt axl sing a wrong verse or repeated one that also threw off the band.  I do have a mp3 of slash butchering patience too but tht would be too easy and I wouldnt want to make all the slash fans cringe.

Like I said bash robin all you want but robin never played any solo that bad and slash wrote the nov rain solo. So I guess that means that slash really sucks then right? I dont think so. Anyone can hit wrong notes now and then. As for playing in the wrong key did  you even heard that slash version of voodoo child where he hits a ton of wrong notes and is toally out of key. I forgot what show it was from but I rememember it well.

Are you people having fun?

"Robin can't play ? ". Does it make you feel better? Slash isn't coming back any time soon. Accept it.

I can imagine some of you would've bashed Slash for not being able to play based on the shows he played in 1985. Before they released Appetite For Destruction.

What's the point of these threads? Are you trying to enlighten people? This is GN'R board, not a fucking "Heavy Metal Music from the 80s" board. You might actually find a few GN'R fans here who don't judge Robin on some live shows.

Sossego is a bunch of chords. Big fuckin deal.

The point of this thread is not to bash Robin. It's just to analyse if he's good enough to fill in as the lead guitarist of GN'R. Buckethead was. Anyway i'm really bored, so humor me...

[Saul]

I thought the thread was fine until it turned into the same ole robin VS Slash BS ... a thread to discuss the abilities of GNR's current lead guitarist? Seems fine to me.

Again , personally I think Robin will have some amazing things on the album. Maybe he will be able to replicate it live. However , with that said , I personally wasnt impressed with robins playing thus far live with GNR. And furthermore , I didnt like his version of the SCOM solo as heard on the big daddy movie/soundtrack. I'm not saying he sucks , I guess , I just havent found him overly impressive as of yet.

I did however like his work on love seige. 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Listen to Sossego on RIR 3. Absolutely fuckin' fantastic.

Robin's style is different tan a typical old school blues classic rock guitarist. He shows more emotion in his playing and has an alternative type of style, but isnt all power chords (Nirvana).

The guy is really good, Axl is fortunate to have him in GNR.

any guitarist with an ounce of talent can shred. soseggo is sooooooo much more than chords its ridiculous.

[Luigi]

Wow, I guess I'll just wait til CD drops to see how deep of a throat all the shit talkers do have, I kinda like Robin

You obviously don't know what you're talkin' about. It's a big fuckin' deal to a lot of people, but you're too biased to accept that.

In every single post in this thread, you tried to bash Robin with this "he can't play", judgin by one fuck up. Like dave said, Slash fucked up A LOT too (just listen to November Rain in St. Louis!), but nobody cares because this is not a big deal. Robin fucked up, Slash fucked up...

Like Saul said, Robin's work on the Ghost Of Mars soundtrack was amazing! He did an awesome duet with Buckethead in Love Siege and also a really good solo in this track called Fight Train:

Up load that clip and all discussions on this new band can end there.

I think that was when they were playing in detroit, and no, I don't have a clip of it right now.

Yeah, it was in Detroit. And Axl left the stage because *I guess* there was some problem with the teleprompters and the PA. He perfomed Madagascar, Chinese Democracy, Rhyiad and The Blues in a row, but messing up the lyrics every time. He got pissed and just left the stage after fucked up the lcris in Patience. This "axl realised he was playing with amatuers" thing is ridiculous.

Who bought Slash into the discussion? As usual it's Dave. Not me. I have more clips of Robin fucking up live, it's not just this one. In the absence of any studio material (GN'R),his live performances form the sole basis of judgement of his skills.

Really? And about the small clip I posted? And about the "Love Siege" track? And about the Big Daddy's SCOM?

I can dig Slash's fuck ups too, so what's the point?

[Genesis]

The Fight Train clip is ok. Big Daddy's SCOM sucks. So please don't quote that.

Haha. It's just your opinion. I think it rocks and he didn't fucked up anything nor got out of the key.
Also, there is this Love Siege.. And - why not? - IRS (the slower solo).
