Probably doesn't mean much, but our favourite band is still in the keywords of Robin's website.
<meta name="keywords" content="robin finck, guitar, guitarist, musician, guns n' roses, guns and roses, gnr, nine inch nails, nin, official, robin fink">
God, I do hope he's still in. He's my guitar hero, period.
Fingers crossed,

I would think that meta tags fall into the category of 'stuff you forget to change'.

I never had a problem with Robin but I really started to like him after the 2006 tour. I will miss him if he's gone. I would prefer if it would just be Ron and Richard. For what it's worth (I'm sure someones mentioned it so sorry) but Robin's not listed on the myspace band member list anymore.

Since when has the goal of a concert been to duplicate the sound of the album?

If you think stripping down the sound of a song, reinventing or reinterpreting it with a different lineup is 'butchering', I suggest you stay home with your CDs.

Tim Skold? The guy is a great songwriter, but he's very sloppy (I know alot of people think Robin is too, though). It might work. I love Robin to death, he's definitely my favorite guitar player out there, but if he is gone, I would LOVE to see John5 join the band. He'd be awesome. It just boggles my mind that anyone would leave the band when their 10 years of hard work is about to come to fruition! Why didn't he leave after he knew there'd be no album last year? Fuck me...
PS. I don't have a clue

because, most likely, the whole point was to see the album come to the point of release (or at least where the release was certain), before quitting the band. he put over a decade of work into the album, he wanted to see it released, and get credited. maybe he feared leaving earlier because he didnt want the possibility of his parts being re-recorded and losing credit. just a theory...

IF
robin's gone, I agree with you on John5 as his replacement.
If John5 is not available, let GNR with 2 guitar players, and give Richard all Robin's solos (and the main role after Axl)
BUT I WANT ROBIN SO BAD!!

I will be staying at home with my CD. In fact, I would be suprised if GNR
did
tour with a completely different lineup to the album.
I'd be perfectly happy with the new lineup if they could nail the sound. I saw Roger Waters last year perform Dark Side and those musicians NAILED it, and it was amazing. This is what GNR needs, but without Bucket it simply can not happen. Prove me wrong, Ron!

Pink Floyd is/was an awesome band. Their ability to reproduce their albums in concert is awesome. I also think modern Guns N' Roses has a lot in common with Pink Floyd.
That said, Guns N' Roses is not Pink Floyd. The live band is not the same as the studio band. You buy the album for the studio experience, you go to the show for the live experience. Why not enjoy both? Or you can just stay home, as you said.

Fair points, but I was talking about Roger Waters as a solo artist with 'hired guns'. I'd be happy if the GNR live band can nail it in the same way, I have my doubts though.

Slash said it back in the mid 90's. Axl wanted Nine Inch Nails, and now he has it.
I'm semi-kidding, but it's kind-of true.

This was the reason Axl hired Robin in the first place, it certainly wasn't for his guitar playing skills (or lack thereof) alone.

He also hired Josh Freese and tried to get Chris Vrenna. So? Guns N' Nails is still a good band. Except for OMG.

OMG is a good song. Some of the best lyrics Axl has ever written
If Bucket had come along before the release of that song was released it could have been a classic

I just saw a report on "The Loop in 60 seconds" on MuchMoreMusic in Canada reporting that Robin has left the band. It had the caption "Guns N' Roses loses another member"... at the end the VJ said: "The Curse Continues... MWA Ha Ha Ha Ha"

I keep hearing these rumblings that the Bucket Man is coming back
If that's the case, wow
GnR becomes the most beastly guitar band in the world with Ronald and Bucket, not to mention Richard

Where the fuck did you hear that, except in wishful thinking at message boards?
He didn't exactly leave the band on a good note.
