Favorite new member!!!

[Back Off Bitch]

ROBIN!!!

[Mike McKagan]

I like Fortus.  But then, I'm always most impressed by session guitarists because they HAVE to be good.

[Mr. Les Paul]

i just say one thing!

Mr. Richard Fortus

[JohnMorrison73]

whos frank?

To think that Robin can replace Slash is crazy. I mean... Robin is still learning how to play guitar !

Ive noticed that every person with "slash" in their username is a troll who constantly brings up stuff like this in random threads. Go away.

damn you EFISH, i was about to say that

Izzy said it today : he called the band "Axl's new gnr". http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=39736.0

Of course he did. becuz thats what it is. He still called it GNR. If he would say it any other way he would lead ppl on.

[Hysteron]

That Izzy guy that was on tour with them earlier in the year.

If not as the qutoe, then I say Tommy

Robin, even though he came in on Matt's suggestion to play with Slash and wound up becoming the departing Slash's direct replacement, has been in the band nearly 10 years, and has played with basically the UYI lineup until the band slowly evolved into its current status. The problem I have with threads like these, as well as most media reports that talk of Axl being somehow in the wrong for still having a Guns N' Roses, is that Axl didn't just wake up one day and fire everyone and then reappear with these new players. The "classic" lineup's last album was Lies. But, I digress. Robin's got my vote because Robin has and will always kick ass, no matter what band he's in.

[Demon Wolf]

Ron Thal for the freaking win. Fortus is amazing as well.

[Jim Bob]

Jonathanvondoom, you are wrong. This is a new band. That's how Axl calls it. It is not an evolution : it is a new band that kept the name of a band that doesn't exist anymore. Accept it. Just like Axl accepts it.

this thread is about who your favorite new member is.  not about the name of the fucking band, or who used to be in the band, or any of that nonsense.

go be a slash troll somewhere else. 

[Slashead]

this thread is about who your favorite new member is.? not about the name of the fucking band, or who used to be in the band, or any of that nonsense.

Jonathanvondoom made some revisionist comments that needed to be refuted.

[Andreas - N.I.R.]

Tommy & Robin.

I can appreciate your opinion, and I am in no way trying to undermine a guitarist like Slash's talent or what he contributed to the GN'R legacy, but what I posted earlier is hardly revisionist or wrong. It's fact and that's the real timeline we have to look at. Whether or not Axl referred to this as being a new band doesn't make it a "new band under the old name," he was probably saying that since Guns had been out of the spotlight for so long, the members that came and went and who eventually became the "stable" lineup were people that the general fans were unfamiliar with...at that point. Hence, a "new" band. But it's still Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses did evolve and continues to evolve. Just because a new album wasn't released more promptly in the interim of each band member individually leaving over time, means exactly that -- lineup changes happen, and when there's no new material to reflect that as it happens, what eventually emerges may appear as a new act or a completely new direction to many people, when in fact it's just a continuation of what came before and what's been going on all along. I still vote for Finck, and yet I still love Slash. I've been a fan of Guns for quite some time, when Slash was still an active member to this day. Both players have their own style, and I just happen to prefer Robin's.

[-Jack-]

Richard is my favorite player and my favorite to watch up on stage.

Bumble might be my favorite all around though.

[Linuc]

Richard I think, or maybe Mr. Foot cause I love his solo stuff.

And I really like Chris, he's cool.

[SlashRock]

I'd have to say Robin Finck. He may not be the most gifted guitarist but he makes up for it sheer stage presence. I hated the guy at first but he's won me over now. 

[Adler_Sorum_Brain]

Bumblefoot ( because he?s the only one in the band iv? been talking to )
