Speculation: Odds of Robin coming back to GNR

[CheapJon]

I'll add my 2 cents, as this is a discussion I never thought I'd have, and fresh topics regarding GN'R are few and far between.

What's funny is that the thread was about Finck not being in NIN and it spun into a discussion about former guitarists, and not Slash or Buckethead but fuckin Gilby and Paul.

Hey we all love Slash. But as we know that the likelihood of him and Axl making up anytime soon is slim to none I'm not gonna' open that can of worms. As to Buckethead. Theres no denying his talent as a lead guitarist. I've not investigated his solo stuff as yet so can't comment. I'm a little glad he's not in the band now as for me it's hard to take seriously a band whos lead guitarist wears a horror mask and a KFC bucket. Guns is a great band and the focus should be on the band and their music, not gimmicks. But hey, thats just me.

[Gilbyfan]

And comparing the Snakepit albums is like comparing Appetite to Chinese. The only Snakepit band member on both records is Slash. I think the guitars interweave better on 1st album. But Rods a much better singer so Aint Life Grand is cool too.

Enough with the off topic ramblings about the wrong guitarists and shit that's irrelevant to this thread.

What, the irrelevant thread about Robin whos quit Guns twice, this time round has been gone what 5 or 6 years and has said nothing bout wanting to return? Ok I'll play along.

So besides from the fact that Guns has three awesome guitarists that have great chemistry together in the form of: Richard, Bumble and DJ. Didn't Robin supposedly leave last time cos he got sick of waiting for Chinese Democracy to be released? So why would he hyperthetically want to rejoin and go back to the same or an even worse frustration? He hasn't been in Guns and therefore probably not recorded anything with them for 5 or 6 years. Any new studio album seems a way off yet.

Hey i like Robin and his playing. But why exactly would he go back right now?

It is of course possible that any future album with some material from the Chinese sessions could include playing by Robin. And for that matter Paul, Bucket, Brain and who knows who else.

[Gilbyfan]

Shouldn't this be in the Dead Horse forum anyway? Until he potentially returns he's an ex Gunner or am I wrong?

exactly!

[Gilbyfan]

Sorry, my bad. I meant to put shouldn't this be in the Ex Gunners section. Being the case that until or more likely if Robin rejoined, thats what he is. An ex Gunner.

My apaolagies for typing in a hurry and any confusion over what I meant.

 I dont think Robin should, I believe DJ Ashba is much better, i saw Robin live and wasnt to thrilled about his solo performance. Id keep the line up as is.
