Robin Finck

Josh didn't talk
Paul didn't talk
Bucket didn't talk
Robin doesn't talk
Brain some small talk(Not meant negative)

why is that..?

I imagine there are legal reasons for that like something they signed sworing silence

[gnrjanus]

that's so wrong.

but none the less I'm currious:P

a band featering old gnr players

Josh/Brain
Robin
Paul

that's a great combination
put in bucket head and you'll have the band gnr once was

I think Robin wants to settle down a bit.

Because lets face it, if Robin really wanted to do the tour with GN'R, he could have easily. There was a good few months in between NIN ending their tour and GN'R starting theirs. And plus Robin new all of the material including the arrangements like who plays what and where.

So in my heart of hearts I believe Robin just feels it's time to do something a little different and maybe relax a bit. And with him selling most of his gear on ebay, my theory could well be right.

I just hope on his new site, he has a way we can contact him. Because I would like to thank him for inspiring me and for touching my soul.

that's one way to put it And you could be right

Josh Freese did talk a little bit. There is a Modern Drummer interview somewhere here (I read the actual magazine) when he talk about working with Axl.

Also he worked with Robin on NIN.

Brain gave a great Chinese Democracy interview with Modern Drummer as well, Tommy did a couple of good interviews also with other magazines. I'd love to read an Axl interview where he is talking about the music, composing and the making of the album, rather than banging on about all his grudges.

i hope ROBIN does come back, he deserves to be on this tour so much.....i mean, he really should be here today!!
 

[gnrjanus]

Don't think he'll be back.

He was the longest ongoing member for the new era of gnr (1997)
and I think almost 10 years of doing nothing wasn't worth it.

and with NIN he could tour and do promo and go out and stuff.

[jacdaniel]

he really should be here today!!

but he is gone to hell   

[Rockin' Rose]

As much as I like DJ I'd still rather have Robin in the band, just listening NR from House of Blues and the lead solo he plays is probably the reason, also he was just so different compared to Slash, but DJ is very talented and seems like a great guy.

Hopefully Robin, Bucket and Brain can do some appearances through the tour, Izzy also!


Edit: Forgot Brain..

[BumbleBuzz]

I'd prefer to have Robin in the band because of his talent, but if I was him, I would have left a long time before 2008...I think he was brave enough to hang around enough as long as he did truth be told

[gnrjanus]

Precisely

He was the replacement for Slash and that says alot.
Robin Put a great efford in gnr and I think we'll hear more of it sooner then later
And I think he did a very good job and became a great guitar player throughout the years in gnr.

gnrjanus, BumbleBuzz and Rockin' Rose, I agree with everything you guys just said. Robin to me is a true legend, who will be missed alot by his fans. It is a real shame he has gone, as I felt during the 06/07 tour people started to take notice of how talented and awesome he was.

Every show I've seen of GN'R he was my favourite of the night behind Axl, he totally shines in a live setting.

Robin we love you.

Just want to pile on to this sentiment.

I really enjoyed his work on the 02 tour but LOVED everything he did on the 06/07 tour. He had a big hand in creating my favorite GN'R song and he played my favorite GN'R solo of all time.

I really don't have anything against DJ Ashba but man... I so wish Robin were on this tour. It would put the tour up just another notch IMO. I can't even imagine how much it would rock to see Robin literally throwing himself into that TIL solo live!!

Having said that, I am still looking forward to whatever else he may have coming up. Would I rather he be with GN'R? Sure. But if he's not, I hope he at least has something going sooner than later.

I totally agree, as soon as I heard that This I Love solo, it was my dream to see Robin rock it live. I have since seen DJ do it in Toronto, and I have to say it was a really special moment for me, it was amazing. But I still dream of the day I can see Robin playing the best GN'R solo ever live, and rocking the hell out of it.

yeah thats because everyone thought he was a freak before then.

i was absolutely  stunned when i saw his appearances from RIR III n' the 02' tours, his renditions of November Rain, Patience n' Sweet Child O'mine  solos where unfuckin'believable 
so much heart n' feel!!   n' his interlude solo's where awesome!!

i thought he was the absolute perfect replacement for Slash, he's a total individual n' he inspired the hell outta me!!

it was gr8 to see people showin' more appreciation towards him in 06' 07' 'cause he looked so cool n' he did, its just a shame a lot of people are so judge mental before when he looked like a 'freak'
he looked fuckin' gr8 on 01' 02'!!

yeah having Marilyn Manson perform oral sex on you while on stage(even for a few seconds or whatever it was) could give some people the wrong idea..   I remember watching the NIN home videos thinking this guy was out of his mind.  Then all the sudden he was in my favorite band.

I have no idea what happened with Robin and Manson, but this wouldn't change my opinion at all on the man. I loved Robins look in 02 as well as 06. The only reason I think people didn't like Robins look in 02 is exactly the same reason why they thought the GN'R circa 2002 was a freakshow. And that's because they looked totally different than what people where expecting from a Rock N' Roll band that originated from Los Angeles. They most likely was expecting typical Rock guys, with the typical Rock look. But when they saw Robin and Bucket they resented the change, even when there was nothing wrong with their look. In their individual territories, people had no problem with their look E.G Robin with NIN, Bucket with Primus.

And in addition to this people have to remember that Axl handpicked every single player, so this is what Axl wanted. So for people to try to belittle and be nasty about Robin or any other members is extremely cruel and uncalled for.
