Time to bring Robin back

[Krazybee129]

He fits well with this version of gnr and help slash with solos. Last thing i want is to see top hat play robins til solo. We all know how ASSbah did

[kaasupoltin]

And so it begins...

[sarcasm]Stop living in the past![/sarcasm]

[slash&axl]

Troll

[Krazybee129]

no i think to play the chidem songs we need 3 guitar players and it will help the band while performing live. Robin suits better than any other past band members

[gcluskey]

No no don't start this crap

[Voodoochild]

Look, Im a HUGE Robin fan. Really, for real. I wish he was there for the 2009-2014 tour.

But right now, there is no place for him in the band. You can't possible have anything to complain about. And don't get me started with the comparison between Ashba and Slash...

[Krazybee129]

i remeber u voodoo back when we desperately waited for chinese democracy.. i respect ur opinion. sad, never get to see robin live with the band

[D-GenerationX]

No, absolutely not.

He is not needed right now.

Yeah, me neither. And I would really love to get to hear him playing This I Love and all the other stuff. But his whole in the band would pretty much be redundant with Slash. And right now,  l trully think the band wont need him. I do respect your opinion too and Im sorry if I sounded rude, but I think we must get over his abscence for now.

[Sosso]

I really love Robins guitar playing style but it's more interesting to see what Slash can contribute to the songs from CD at this point.

[rebelhipi]

I wouldnt mind a third guitarist even if Slash is there.

[Sosso]

I wouldnt mind a third guitarist even if Slash is there.

Yeah, that was one of the problems in the mid-90's. I don't think that Slash wouldn't mind too.

[Thorned Rose]

This isn't a more is better thing. Robin is good, and I liked him, but no


HELL no. It doesn't make sense. This whole thing of having people in this band... its so stupid.

Guns N' Roses at its root and core... and it its essence will ALWAYS be these members:

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steve, Dizzy, Matt

Why?

Because they came up together, made the most music together, were the most famous together, did the 2 year and 2 month tour together, had the most controversy together...

For me, Chinese Democracy is a great era, and a different kind of era, but it has so many different moving parts and members you just can't really call it the same thing for me. For me. (I'm trying to be polite and respectful here)

For me, the roots of Nu Gn'R are these members

Axl, Finck, Bucket, Stinson, Mantia, Bumblefoot, Pitman/Fortus/Huge

It's tough to have a root for Nu Gn'R cause it was so revolving. Fortus only played on like 1/2 the album, and Frank apparently played drums at the exact same time as Brian. I just don't know. Brian was there first and has more credits so I kept Frank off. I guess you could just lump them all together really.

I'm a beliver is longevity and creation for being a "member" of a band.

[Nikki_Sixx]

They finally got rid of the third guitar player, and now you want to bring him back ?  And you're going to bring the sloppiest of the bunch back ?

Please tell me EXACTLY what part of what song Robin (or any other third guitar player) is needed for ?

The guy wrote close to nothing for GNR and butchered classic guitar solos on a regular basis.   Even Ashba was better !  And that's saying a lot ...

And to further elaborate on your point Brian wasn't there first either. We can't forget about Josh Freese who laid down the majority of the drum tracks for most of the songs. Brian talks about this in an interview and how it had taken him nearly 9 months to re-record Josh's parts. Brian had to get the drum tracks transcribed first, learn the parts, and  then re-record it.

As for Robin, he wouldn't fit in. He's a great guitar player but their styles wouldn't mesh.

Let's see what this band produce first before adding more members

That's just false. Get your facts straight. In the ASCAP and even in the correct CD booklet, Robin has many songwriting credits in several songs. It's been discussed a lot and people still thinks he only wrote Better.

Even Ashba was better !  And that's saying a lot ...

Yeah, right. Thats just your opinion and I think you're not in the majority.

[HBK]

Robin Is Unique... Salvation Of GNR In Lead Guitar Theme, Particular Style,,, Love You 4Ever.

But, Actually Only SLASH Is Lead Guitar

A band member is a band member, it doesn't matter how much he has contributed to the band. I don't really liked DJ Asha but I can't deny the fact that he was a part of the band for example.

Josh Freese doesn't really count man. He wasn't in the band but for like 2 years, and left. That doesn't make him a full blown member. He never appeared in person with the band.

Just a few songs, 0 appearances. To me, that doesn't make him a member. You have to tour consistently and write material with the band, he wrote little without any appearances.

I personally don't count him as ever being a "member" of the band. He was just someone that passed in and left. Just my stupid opinion ya know.

Let me rephrase that.  He wrote close to nothing of significance for GNR.

And ok, maybe Ashba was just as sloppy as Robin.
