r ob i n update / statement

[J?]

I'm writing now in the wake of the recently postponed and cancelled GNR commitments in Japan and South Africa. I guess I'm writing because I too am disappointed, have a conscience, a website, and I am not on the Bullet Train to Osaka this evening.

I purely want to share with those whom were avid for seeing GNR at these concerts that I too was looking forward to seeing you all. The band was primed and pumped, production packed and shipped. Then, much to our distress, unforeseen circumstance walked in, dropped its surly case and announced with certainty, "I'm here! ". What can we do.

I have received innumerable emails from real people who where hooking up with friends or family, flying to faraway cities, booking hotels or friend's couches, docking the USS Kitty Hawk, and otherwise scheduling their time and enthusiasm around these events. In short, these peeps wuz straight stung adrenalized and lettin' me square have it! I too was psyched about the shows, planning to meet friends and family, watch the cherry blossom blossom etc. It is my wish that your bounce forward from here be one of a willful arc and opportunity. Believe me, I'm swallowing that very pill by your side.

Well, I'm not gonna go on with this letter, this letter to you who've sent me. I think you catch my drift.

Best of spirits to you all and I sincerely wish for you a successful trip ahead. Have fun wherever you are-

I might not always think the most of Robin's playing, but he is certainly being a stand up guy here. Good for him and maybe the same feeling of accountability will rub off on others.

[LittleFly]

See, I knew I liked that guy.

Very cool of him to make this statement 

[J?]

yeah the dude seems pretty mellow, awesome and human.

he does not seem like an asshole type of person, who thinks they are gods gift.

[estebanf]

It's a nice letter, but not too much valuable information there

Anyway, its always cool to read what Robin has to say. Im glad he's in the band I love

That was great to read from Robin. Obviously it is not his position to provide extensive tour details etc, but I think he gave us a very personal reassurance, or sympathy rather; he was not supposed to, but he did, and that's great. I hope everybody appreciates this. I know it's not going to change the fact people are missing out on seeing them and ruined plans, but I hope you feel better when you read it. Thanks Robin.

[Dead N' Bloated]

Well he didn't mention Australia in all that so I'm kina pleased.

he is truly one of the most humble persons i've ever met. 

this was cool of him to write to the fans.

Here's hoping the rest go smoothly.

Yeah, not a lot to hang your hat on. Certainly does nothing to dispell any rumors, but that's not really his job. That's what the web site is supposed to be for.

Anyone else think this is interesting?

[GNRreunioneventually]

that was really cool of him, i honestly thought that Axl would have spoke before finck but o-well.

[Naupis]

Anyone else think this is interesting?

Very. I actually think Robin said alot without saying alot if you read it within the context of what has been going on.

This right her doesn't sound like this had anything to do with Tommy's wrist injury.

"Then, much to our distress, unforeseen circumstance walked in, dropped its surly case and announced with certainty, "I'm here! ".

[Eat Pop Slop]

Very cool of him!!

I don't think I quite understand some of his lingo :lol: , but definitely cool to have someone say something.

Am also pretty quietly stoked that he didn't mention Australia in the post

"Then, much to our distress, unforeseen circumstance walked in, dropped its surly case and announced with certainty, "I'm here! ".

What the fuck?  How does this NOT sound like it has to do with Tommy's wrist injury?  Would Tommy falling down a flight of stairs be considered foreseen?

Give me a break...all you conspiracy people are nucking futs.

[ben9785]

Come on you guys, don't read too much into what he writes.
Robin of all people wouldn't stick any hidden meanings into what he says
None of the GNR members would, I'm sure they realise by now sometimes things they say are misinterpreted in depth, in too many different ways

[Jim Bob]

He's just seems frustrated, and in reality, I'm sure he faces a lot of the same emotions and frustrations as a lot of GnR fans do.    This was very cool of him to do.

well for one tommy didn't just fall down the steps 4 goddamn days ago .

I wasn't talking about a conspiracy. Just saying that it might not be why. now go fuck off

I guess "unforseen", "surly case", and "I'm here" are not good things.
