hope you like them.  : ok:

Wow! Thanks a bunch man.  :beer: :beer: :beer:

Ah, see, Robin WAS there...

what the hell happened to Tommy

Who cares? Pitman's cooler anyway.

man , i posted these pics cause they look cool
dont bring in  negativity .

you enjoy then new songs ? wel tommy play bass in them, isnt that cool enough ? ;)

Someone was told that he was unable to attend because of something in his personal life.

I didn't bring in negativity. I enjoy the photos. Someone asked where the hell Tommy was. I replied that I personally don't care. I guess I better either get on board or fuck off.

nah sorry, i mis read what you wrote ;)

Great pics, cool to see Chris on bass, and the pic of Robin  :yes:

Cool, thanks for the pics!

Pitman on Bass ist strange but cool... ?:)

Cool pics, cheers


does anyone else think theres quite a resemblence between richard now and izzy back when he was in the band?

especially with that hat, even though i dont think izzy ever wore one like that, it still reminds me of him a fair bit.

kind of : ok: they're both awesome :peace:

Cracking pics mate! Mike

Looks like he had great stage presence  :P

Hmm, so they played Sweet Child? That has a pretty complicated bass-line, is The Pitman multi-talented?

Why is Robin trying to be Slash?

(http://www.gunsnroses.us/_photos/gunsnroses.us.robinchrisdizzy.jpg)

How's that?

What are you talking about?  Robin is being Robin.

Maybe, as shocking as it may seem, Robin likes wearing hats, and happens to have long hair.

When was the last time you saw Slash playing a hollowbody guitar?


Seems like he's trying real hard.

I see some seemingly intended similarities there.

cool pics, love pitman on bass

I would say there is about a 100 percent chance Axl saw the beating he was taking in 02 about his and the bands personal appearances and has since mandated that they start looking something like a rock n' roll band. Robin and Axl were the worst offenders with the god awful jersey and goth looks, and I am happy they put a stop to them. I would take Robin as a Slash lookalike with the hat over the goth stuff any day of the week.

Well, nobody can be Slash and I don't think Robin should be compared to slash, At least if he really wants to be respected and not taken as a joke. I liked Robin's look at 2001 Rock in Rio. He was a freaky, but his personality if he would stay on the same look nowadays he has more impact than he has tryn' to look a guns n' roses guitarist. But why the hell Richard Looks so similar to Izzy?

and why the hell Pitman is playin' the bass? I can't imagine this with the old band (the real GUNS N' ROSES)

I like Robin. ?I actually prefer him over Slash at this point. ?But that image is very Slash-like, and it makes me wonder why.

I agree with AdZ, it's simply a hat and long hair.......some of you people   ::).

Oh shit!!! Robin's wearing a hat, what will come next?

To look at the image and say it is asinine to think of Slash is close-minded.  Just look at it.  It may not be intentional, but the similarities are there.

he plays guitar, he has long hair, and god forbid a hat

what ?
if you are talking about the pose (i cant believed im trying to understand that) check the videos and live performance, he does that all the time

check my TWAT video, long solo, full of it

it's just how guitar players do. no big deal.

I?ve seen multiple live performances, but never have I seen a pic (or video) of him and thought:? ?Whoa, he looks like Slash right there.?

You?re right.? It?s no big deal.? Just something I find interesting.? I?m not insulting Robin, not trying to destroy his legacy (everyone has to have a legacy these days), not criticizing his guitar-style or disrespecting his????faithful fans.? Just saying that in this one instance, this one pose, this one get-up he?s wearing, this one pic ? he reminds me of Slash.? That?s all.

Carry on.

If its anyone that he reminds me of, its Jim Morrison. Definately not Slash.

Are you serious Slash?! I never saw slash with a six inch beard... He's being him self, no one else...

I dobut Axl put any mandates on Robin or anyone else btw.... I do like both of their looks nowadays, better than 02... But if axl ever had a problem with the way anyone looked he woulda said something b4 hand!

Thanks for the pics too!!

all right, i can see that

but overall we know robin, we've seen him live a lot, and we know he is not anyone else

but i guess he'll be proud to remind people of The Greatest Guitar Player Ever ;)

he will play with a les paul

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Fucking hell.

The old band had drummers filling in for Steven on several occasions. Fred Coury and Don Henley. Then he was replaced.

The old band had a bass player named Haggis fill in for Duff when he got married.

The old band replaced Izzy with Gilby and kept going.


No, you can't imagine the old band doing that...  ::)



/jarmo

Hell, we even had Sebastian Bach replace Axl once!  ;D

Mother Goose is GOD !!!

pitman Rulez, amazing Pic's. Thankz

HBK *

Pitman Spoting!!!! and now there is proof!!!
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us on the board. I think some of you guys need to realize the current guys are not at all trying to look like the old band. They all have their own unique image and they show it. This band has so much more to offer than the old lineup. I thought some of you realized that after 2006. If all some of you are going to do is compare this to the old lineup you should just stick appetite back into your cd player because you are going to miss out on some very special things in 2007.

Is it just me or do those pics look like screenshots from a video recording??

Jonx

there`s an obvious difference... chris is an actual member of guns n`roses, unlike haggis, fred coury and don henley....

which makes me wonder even more, why "snakepipero" can`t imagine this with the old band. it?s like axl playing guitar on dead horse or duff playing drums with matt during the drum solo...... ::)

how anyone could see a band member filling in for another bandmember as being negative is beyond me....

well.....   that`s a little far fetched i think. i hope you`re right anyways  :hihi:

I am sooo glad Robin gave up the makeup ultra goth look.

page doesn't load for me...

could someone upload to imageshack or something please :love:

wow everybody needs to calm down. it wasnt even a real show, it was 2 songs. im sure if it was a real big show tommy would be there. its really no big deal that he wasnt there. cool pictures. no need to make such a big deal about robin wearing a hat either. looks a little like slash's hat from that angle, again..... no big deal.

thanks for the pics

Pitman looks so hot behind a bass. He stole the show.

This would be a pretty cool/rare bootleg to have no?

Not so much the audio......but the video would be for sure.  :drool:

Yeah , video is what I was getting at.

 Dr. Evil "As you know, the Royal Family of Britain are the wealthiest land owners in the world. Either the royal family pays us an exorbitant amount of money, or we make it seem that Prince Charles has had an affair outside of marriage and therefore would have to divorce!"
Number 2 "Prince Charles did have an affair. He admitted it, and they are now divorced."
 Dr. Evil "Right. Okay people, you have to tell me these things, alright? I've been frozen for thirty years, okay? Throw me a frickin' bone, here. I'm the boss. Need the info."

Sorry, Austin Powers moment  :hihi:

In short, it already happened   :hihi: , I'm sure you knew that

Cool pics, thanks.
Just nice to see GNR out and about.
It means they are not going into hibernation again and that the album  will drop, soon or later.

This band is very deep.  It's terrific to see that the guys have each others' backs. 

This is a great post. Factual  and to the point. Tell it like it is, Jarmo, way to go!

Great pictures...many thanks!

Wow its amazing how the guy who runs one of the biggest and well known gnr forums and websites has it in for the old band.? Oh and Krispy Kreme - your an asskisser.

Jarmo doesn't "have it in" for the old band. He's just proving people wrongs with facts about the old band to back up arguments concerning the new band.

this hole site kisses axl's ass, it's no drama to me, i think everyone knows this by now, other gnr sites is where you will find more honest opinions, many people have different usernames and say one thing here and another on a different site, other sites is where you will find opinions giving what they think is best for gnr, right or wrong, thats what makes forums interesting, different ideas and shit, it's better then fake fuckers. peace out gnr nation!  :beer:

You'll find idiots on both sides of the scale, on any forum. Just the way it is.

Well go back to those other sites and keep whining about us then.

You were banned here once, and you got banned again. Bye! :wave:




/jarmo

What's amazing is people who still think the old band exists and acts like it.

Like nothing had happened, they keep thinking that the AFD line up is just on a break and will be playing shows in a few months.



Some of us realized that the old band broke up.

We don't need to sit and be teary-eyed thinking about the past and having to mention it in every thread.




/jarmo

Spooks? in the 21st century?  :o very rarely seen nowadays still annoying all the same.
The news might have attracted them.

On Topic, Really nice pics.  Don't they all look elegant there? :D

Wow! Chris looks fuckin' cool! : ok:

As for Robin, he looks much more like a guitarist for a Southern rock band (Lynyrd, Blackfoot,...) than like Slash (who, I think, hasn't invented guitars, hats and long hair, but I could be wrong... ::))!

Nobody says Slash invented long curly dark hair in your face, top hats or electric guitars.? ?But it was his distinct style -- unlike Robin, who completely changes his every few years.

When you combine the hat/hair thing with the fact that he's now the lead guitarist in Guns N' Roses -- playing Slash's part in Slash's band -- I don't think you can blame people for noticing the similarities.

If the Who replaced Pete Townshend with a new guy who was six feet tall, did windmill guitar moves, then smashed his strat at the end of the show, I think a lot of people would say he reminds them of Townshend.

Just sayin'...

What's even more weird is how Fortus seemed to come in an Izzy costume too.? Nobody got all bent out of shape when we had that discussion.? Maybe they like the old guys and think they're cool.? Afterall, they play their songs and solos all night.? They'd have to at least be fans of those guys' work.

why does everyone seem to think that....  ???

everyone seems to think what?  ???

Robin looks elegant as usual. this time in a black coat (tailored?) and a black bowler hat.

They are all in black except axl?

Wow  ::)

Then of couse they could... When Robin wears a top hat 24/7 and has a cig in his mouth during every solo... Then people can say he's knockin off slash... But just because he has long hair with a hat...NO

Wasn't KOHD dedicated to Anna? Maybe that's the reason  ::)

off-topic: btw. Fred Coury played damn good back in 87, great show

I think you're misunderstanding me.  I'm not saying he's ripping him off.  But if he decides to wear Slash's style hat and hair while playing Slash's role in Slash's old band, you can't be surprised when fans think he looks like Slash.  If Finck wants to dress kinda like Slash for a while, then more power to him.  I think it's silly, but like most of Finck's looks, it'll probably blow over in a while.

the guy in the first pick on the left looks alot like izzy

Richard Fortus.

Yeah i thought the same thing.

it`s hilarious....

richard has black middle long hair and people say he looks like izzy.... robin wears a hat, has long hair and plays guitar and people say he copies slash.... what`s wrong with you??

did anyone of you ever see robin live? or did anyone of you at least watch a bootleg with him playing?

slash and robin are completely different guys, with completely different images/styles. robin has got a nose in his face, he looks like slash ::)

An elegant man who's into fashion would tell the difference between a top hat (silk hat) and a bowler hat (the one on Robin).  :smoking:

mh.....  a man like axl? :hihi:

If Robin came out wearing a grey mask and a bucket of Popeye's fried chicken on his head, I'd say he reminds me of BucketHead.

Then you guys could respond with something like -- "Get a life dude!  Buckethead's mask was WHITE and he wore a KFC bucket on his head!  Nothing alike."

You are contradicting yourself  :hihi:

I agree   :peace:

Great pictures for the fans. A good find  :peace:

I wonder if dizzy wouldn't have been in the band if people would say pitman tries to copy him... :no:

Some of you guys are never happy about GNR guitarists and their image. Get a life. It's not about the image; it's the playing. Duh.

Who cares?

Izzy always looked like he got lost in Keith Richard's closet.

That's a really NOT nice thing to say

Hey I don't care either.  You guy are missing the point. 

There's a difference between saying "Finck looks like Slash in that picture" and saying "Finck sucks because he's trying to rip of Slash."

Two very, very different comments.  Just lighten up a little.  There's no harm in noticing how similar Finck's style is to Slash's in that picture.  Go get a tampon and stuff it in your bleeding vaginas, you big babies.

The band looks great in those pictures.

I think I noticed from another picture that Axl was wearing eyeliner? Maybe he was doing a photoshoot or something like in the last pictures in which we noticed he had eyeliner

That wasn't meant as an insult at all.. :nervous:

Anytime me and my old man watch an old bootleg, we kid around sometimes and refer to Izzy as Lil' Keith.

So, women are babies? Ladies, what do you think of this?

Don't give 'em bitchin' material!!

I know you're smart enough not to take that literally.

Don't play dumb.

Cause he's in slash's old band and playing slash's old songs has nothing to do with what he LOOKS like..

Thats hat is nowhere near a slash style hat either....

Sorry, that was just pretty distasteful, even for an internet forum.

great pics, is axl wearing make-up??

seems like. everyone's in style. chic.  :yes:


that was not just distasteful, but also obnoxious provincial and sexist.

What a tampon has to do with this thread?
Only an inelegant dude who thinks masks and buckets are as commonly worn as longhairs and hats would get such a vulgar remark.


Yeah or like Robin. or you. ;)

Well heavens to Betsy, I do apologize.  I'd hate for a Guns N' Roses forum to be anything even close to distasteful. 

Excuse me while I go listen to AFD, the album with a robot rape scene in the liner notes. 

By the way, I think "pussy full of maggots" is even more distasteful than the idea of a tampon.  You should send your little manners lessons to Axl and the band.  I think they need them more than I do.

You are not in Axl's league, sorry dude.

If you're the world's biggest rock star you can talk about sex and vaginas.  But if you're just a normal dude, you shouldn't have that right.  Gotcha!

Keep up the good work!   :beer:

More importantly,  the words like "pussy full of maggots" in the lyrics aren't referred to the fans and the audience. 

If axl and the band are reading this discussion i bet they are cracking up and calling us all losers.




Robin is not trying to be like slash people.

shut up dude....

both comments are bullshit. i didn`t respond, because you said finck sucks, but he`s looking like slash in that picture. and that?s not true...  if slash wears a hat, he wears a top hat. is robin wearing a top hat in that pic? does robin`s hair resemble slash?s in any way, except for it being long?? is robin smoking a cigarette??  he doesn`t even play his les paul, which wasn`t invented by slash either by the way......

it?s simply robin playing guitar in one of his typical poses..... : ok:

man, next time i'll keep the pictures on my hard drive ...... :)

Oh, don't be silly. We appreciate your uploading them.


us all?
Not everyone here tries to see somebody else in Robin.

Wow.  You're slow.

All anyone said is that he looks like Slash in that picture.  People said Fortus looks like izzy, but nobody freaked out and through a shit-fit.

You're insecure about Finck.  I'm sure he can handle the fact that a few people think he looks like Slash in that one picture.

Pitman doesn't look at all out of place with that bass...I think it's awesome that he jumps in there and plays, fuckin alot better than them not playing or imagine if they cancelled. The bitches will bitch no matter what.

yeah Robin looks soooo much like Slash too...please ::)

Get your heads out of your arses. 

How?
No shit.

You seem to be insecure about the fact that Robin is not wearing a top hat, leather, and cowboy boots. plus a bandanna from his jeans?

Let's play a little game.? Tell me which hats looks most like Slash's...

(http://antsnajjar.tripod.com/images/slash.jpg)

Get it?? Of all the hats in the world, I'd say those two look alike.? When you combine that with the fact that Robin is playing Slash's lead guitar part in Slash's old band, I don't think it's hard to understand why some crazy people would make a far-out, radical statement like, "Robin's hat reminds me of Slash."

It's not a judgement call one way or the other.? It's not choosing sides.? It's just notcing that in this one picture, Robin Finck reminds people of Slash.

Get it?

Sadly, some of them do not.

The hat is in fact exactly like the hat Jimmy Page used to wear. In fact Jimmy plays the guitar (a les Paul) just like Robin and good ol' Jimmy had a beard!....I think Robin looks like Jimmy Page !!!!

Right on Jimmy Rock's

And if Robin Finck joined Zep and this picture was taken while he was playing Stairway to Heaven, I think a lot of people on the Zep forum would say Finck reminds them of Page.

What if he joined Zep and wore Slash's tophat? by the way you forgot the beard.

I guess this can go on forever.  If you can't see why that picture might remind someone of Slash, then I guess it can't be explained to you.

You're either stupid or in denial.  Either way, I feel sorry for you. 

Rock on.

chriskon72, well maybe but I think his look there is more like a poet from the late 19th century or something.


First of all, a and c are not hats. They are caps.
Find a pic of a silk hat. Or even b in black will do.
Neither a b or c would go well with his look of the day. Those wouldn't fit the occasion either.

Like I said I'm well aware that not every GNR fan knows a shit or two about fashion/style/dressing.
That doesn't mean Robin tries to remind them of somebody else.

 :rofl:

Best reply ever.  I take back my comments about you being stupid.  You're obviously a gifted satirist.

Until he releases "Finck's Snakepit"- I won't be calling Robin a Slash rip-off.

 ? Listen man, I was entering this this discussion in a very sarcastic way. I understand certain things remind people of certain people or times...I don't think the word ripping off is right and I think previously in the thread even you stated that fact. I don't like how everything is everyone is so uptight about every little thing. I wrote the Page reference to show how silly and petty all these comparisons are. Hardly any of the statements come in a positive way.... "remember when Slash used to wear hat's, I miss that and I am glad Robin's into wearing hats (what the fuck do I care if he wears a hat, but anyway) TOO BAD SLASH DECIDED TO LEAVE THE BAND. ?In my opinion Thank fuckin'god he looks more like Slash or Page than that Spacefuck he looked like back in 2001-02 and thank god Bumble plays with cap on and not a fuckin Bucket on his head and a raincoat the band looks like a band and that's cool.

 ? You don't have to feel sorry for me but I appreciate your concern. It's tough being a GNR fan and it takes it toll on all of us I mentioned earlier on that your buddy Pitman looked awesome on the bass and not how he remineded me of Jimmy Steward from the Cult. Everytime Fortus smokes a fag on stage he reminds of Izzy his tattoos remind me of Tracii Gunns. Everytime Stinson spits on stage he reminds me of Duff.

We are screwed if we do - and screwed if we don't.


Does that mean I'm stupid and in denial...guess so.

Cheers

satirist?

anyways I think Robin's is sort like the bohemian look.
chriskon72, jimmy page also had the look of a bohemian, I believe.
Maybe they have similar taste in clothing.

I'm not calling him a Slash Rip-off either. 

I just said that in that picture -- compared to other pics we've seen of Robin -- he reminds me of Slash.

That's all. 

Obviously, Finck fans are hyper sensitive.  Any mention of Slash, in any context what-so-ever, sends them into a wierd monkey rage. 

I agree Slash left the band.? He didn't want to be a part of Chinese Democracy.  It's better that way, because honestly, I can't see Slash fitting in very well with the CD songs.  That band is over.  CD is an album Axl has to make -- for Axl.  It's very personal.  If Slash and Duff can't be a part of that vision, I understand.

I think people are trying too hard to read tons of shit into my statement.  Maybe we can clear this up with another simple game...

In which one of these pictures does Finck look most like Slash:

That's all I'm tryin' to say.  Again, again, again, again, again... no judgement.? Just saying in that one picture, Finck reminds me of Slash.? I think a lot of people that night probably thought the same thing... especially considering he was playing Sweet Child O' Mine's guitar solo in a band called Guns N' Roses.

Somebody said Pitman reminded them of the dude from the Cult.? Great.? I can see it.? Same with the Fortus/Izzy comparisons.? I didn't go into a monkey rage and throw my feces against the wall.

Thats got my pick? : ok:

Gotcha? Yes, I've been so exposed. I should be ashamed.  ::)

"Bleeding Vaginas Full Of Maggots."


I heard that was a new lyric. Maybe even a song title.

Ive always thought they look exactly alike. And i used to thing gilby kinda looked like izzy too

Spacefuck.  That's fucking classic.  Funniest thing I've read tonight.  Buckethead and Spacefuck would make an awsome tag team WWF Style. 

im sorry but...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ad infinitum.

I love how Robin looks these days and I don?t think he looks like Slash in anyway. Robin?s clothes are very different than Slash?s. It is silly to think that anybody who uses a hat looks like Slash. I like Robin and I think he fits very well with GNR.
