With all the love Robin has been recieving and all the love/hate Bumblefoot has been recieving, we haven't really talked to much about Richard.  He's my personal favorite and I think he rocks.  Show the man some love, he's been lonely lately with all the talk of Robin kickin ass and Bumblefoot being in the band.  Give a shoutout to this guy!!

I guess nesquick will kiss you!  Kiss

But yes, Richard rocks. His solo on The Blues is amazing and all the improvements he did (i.e. Madagascar) sounded very powerful.

Yep, I think Richard is great.

At first I was a bit put off by his negative comments about GN'R when he first joined (saying that he wasn't into their music back in the day) it made him sound like he was only in it for the money.
But after hearing him live, I am very impressed. His tone, his style, his capability, his appearance (very Izzy-like) is all great.

I love the lead guitar parts he plays in Madagascar and the Blues too. beer

Of course Richard rocks... he wouldn?t be in GNR if he didn't Wink... He is good rythm guitar player and has great solos (they are maybe closest to so called rock solos), while Bumble is Bumble, and Finck has his own ?dirty? style...

All 3 guitarist are great, just personally Finck is my style...

he looks lie a rock star, glad to see that fink is following suit, feel sorry for ron though, i saw some pictures of him and some people were really harsh, didn't think he looked like a "roadie from the 80's" as someone said.

great stuff richard, you got the lot, ability and image!!!!!! just what gnr needed, to avoid becoming a side show!

he really kicks ass and i was so glad to see him.  Also i had been hoping he would get a solo section too and it was just awesome when he did.  I had no idea before he joined that Richard was this good and Energetic!!! Also,  that NR solo is sweeeeeeet!

From what we've heard (which is extremely little) Richard seems more than competent. But it is WAY too early to decide if he's really that good. What have you heard him play? For me, although I assume he's very good, I have no proof to support that claim.

Gotta bump this for tonight's performance at RIR.  Richard really impressed me tonight, it was the first time I got to see him for a full live peformance.  My personal fav and the one I think did the best tonight.  Sounded very crisp and kicked some ass tonight.  Show the man some love!

He really put in the effort tonight.


Anyone notice on Patience, when Axl left Tommy where they were sitting Richard nabbed the space and leisurely played away.   Cheesy

Fortus really impressed me at the NYC show.  He is better than I thought he was, and I already thought he was very good
