Robin Finck

I hope he still is part of the family, as I would love to hear his guitar on the next album too.

I was listening to the Brisbane 2007 bootleg and man, he was so good. Even fucking things up, haha. I miss his energy on SCOM and that awesome rhythm guitar work on Patience.

Hope the same too.

There was something in him and in his playing that I really miss, DJ is good but Robin was something else.

I loved his melodies throughout November Rain too, you could really hear them. 

My feelings as a fan is that he will definitely be on the next GN'R album in some form. Axl complimented Robin on one of his solos in a new song, so we have that to look forward too.

Regarding GN'R live, I feel and hope Robin might be a special guest just like Izzy was. And if this did happen, my feelings is that it might take place in a city such as Los Angeles or New York.

I love DJ, but as a Robin fan I would love for Robin to make another appearance onstage with GN'R. Even if it is just for a few songs, like Izzy and even Bach.

I would love to, but I dont see this happening. I mean, much like Bucket, Robin seem to have moved on already. I dunno, hope Im wrong.

I too have this feeling, it may be wishfull thinking on my part. At least the Robin and GN'R situation was more reasonable and good willed, than the Buckethead case.

The only contact Bucket still had with GN'R was Brain, and now Brain is not a prominent member of Guns anymore. But with Robin he is still on very good terms with all the guys, Ron checked out a NIN show, Richard is obviously really close with Robin and Axl has also commented on Robin in a favourable way.

DJ has also stated he respects Robin, which he said in his Haunted Mansion chats just as he joined GN'R. So if Robin was up for it, when GN'R are in LA, who knows. 

But Voodoo, you may be right, but I'm a believer.

I dont think there is any bad blood between Robin and the guys, but that doesnt mean he would enjoy playing in this gig again.

to doing their own stuff.

[Ulises]

To me he doesn't care about GN'R.

It seems he's like a I-move-on-easily kind of guy.

[gnrjanus]

So basicly the guy who saved Gnr (guitar wise) didn't care about gnr...
or who wrote most part's on gnr's albums.(futurewise)

[Giant_Robot]

Seriously, when is his website gonna be up and running again ?

[Voodoochild]

I dont get what people who dislike Robin keep posting in this thread. Really...

[Loaded NightraiN]

Did Robin ever speak when Ashba replaced him?

if we didn't  this thing would be 3 pages long and buried with 2 people discussing him.

[Voodoochild]

So?

[Voodoochild]

About GNR or anything related? I dont think so.

Don't get me wrong, I think Robin is one of the biggest guitarrist that GN'R ever had! But I think the guy is not a "Guns N' Roses widow". That's it.

When I said "he doesn't care about GN'R" I'm not saying it in a negative way. I mean he can live without GN'R

[One.In.A.Million]

Well after seeing Guns in Paris on the 13th, it was abit emotional for me because I was seeing GN'R in the same place that I had in 2006 (Bercy Arena), when Robin was still in the band.

I have seen GN'R 5 times so far since Robins' departure (GN'R - 18 times total), and this is the first time where it's the same venue that I saw Robin play with GN'R in 2006. And I even told Cyllan at the Paris show, that I loved Robin and was sad to see him go.

But now I have seen GN'R without Robin a few times, I can say that GN'R still rock. And they are better than ever and everyone plays great. Ashba plays Robins' parts brilliantly, and I want to thank DJ for respecting Robins original idea on This I Love, and not changing it too much.

The fact of life is, is that people move on, even if we don't want them too. Would I still prefer Robin in GN'R today?, you can bet your life that I do!!!!!!!. But I have accepted that Robin is happy in his life, and GN'R are still the best band in the world. And I am glad that GN'R and Robin are doing well seperately, if that's the way it has to be. 

[Voodoochild]

Indeed. I saw the band live and I even met Ashba. He's one hell of a person, really as nice as Ron. I will never forget that.

I just miss Robin a lot and it's really sad to see that it's unlikely to see him doing anything in his carreer now like he did with GNR (I mean, the solos, the guitar work... I think in NIN he's way too underused).

That is one great thing about GNR, if you are a guitar player, you will be heard, a lot.  I hope the guitar is always the driving force behind GNR.  I love the piano songs, but the guitars need to be the main instruments pushing the songs.
