Here Today... Gone To Hell!

 ???
Dizzy, Tommy and Fortus doing their things...
Brain playing with Buckethead and stuuf...

but where?s Robin? Is he doing some stuff with NIN again ( or till the CD thing being release ) ?
Why some fucking magazine don?t interview him, let?s say, about his techniques... or his work at the upcoming GNR album ... or his "two different music words ( NIN and GNR )" ... ??

beeing more expecific... HE?S THE LEAD GUITAR OF GUNS N ROSES SINCE 99 ! PEOPLE SHOULD CARE ABOUT IT!
 ???

it's like I said about Pittman: some people just vanish.

I have no idea what Robin is doing these days to keep busy. I know he is married so perhaps since the failed 2002 tour he is just simply spending time with his wife? I havent heard Trent Reznor mentioning Robin at all lately so I doubt he has any involvement on the upcoming NIN cd. Perhaps Robin will serve as a touring guitarist for NIN if it suites his free time outside GnR. If memory serves me correctly I dont recall any interviews with Robin or more specifically where he was asked about GnR or the album. If im not mistaken though Robin is in fact the bandmember of this new lineup who has stayed the longest next to Dizzy of course. I recall an old article that said he first started playing with GnR in 1996 while Slash was still in the group and the two did not get along great.

maybe Robin is busy working with the new guitarist  : ok:

I hope so

but NOT in a real life

I hope he is learning more songs off UYI.  I wish the rest of these guys would practice songs like Coma and Locomotive than doing their own thing.

Heaven knows.

As we talk about them, they may be dead busy right now doing chores pertaining to the new release,
like arts, promo-planning, mastering n stuff, looking after their front man.

They're very talented, you know.

"When he's not working he's relaxing and when he not relaxing he's working."

Occasionally he updates his web site.... Seems like he's been travelling too.

great. this is a good job to work for Guns n' Roses. You're very well paid and you spend your time travelling like if you were in holidays. Guns n' Roses = Club Med
 :hihi:

There's no way your statement was a pile of shit. No way,

Don't attack Robin. He's busy with recording the 4th and 5th unheard GN'R album after he finished the first 3. The fourth album is slated for a 2078 November release.

if you visit his site, he's just relaxing and growing out his hair and his beard.  :peace:

Axl will be cryogenically frozen between the release of all 5 albums, theyve just forgot about him for Chinese Democracy's release. :hihi:

Back to Robin... is it just me or does the guy does not seem to ever get the props from Axl?!? You can just tell through the years that Axl has not been confident about hitting the road with Robin as his main lead guitarist. Maybe Axl  just feels that the pressure of replacing Slash is better handled divided amongst two people, or maybe he's never fully forgiven Robin for walking out in '99... who the hell knows.

I know GN'R fans are divided on Robin, but I think he kicks ass, could do a great job on lead and we're damn lucky that he hasn't told Axl to f-off for good at this point.

Robi   n means alot to GNR. He is the kind of guy that dont do things he dont have faith in.. And dont bother wasting time if he can do anything better... I think he has got faith in GNR, and looks forward to go on the road!

Robin is one of my favorite members, he puts a lot of energy in to this band and I appreciate everything he's contributed.  Like he said, he'll be back to tear up the world whenever Axl decides to come out of his mansion on the hills in Cali and take over the music world.

It certainly would lessen direct comparisons regarding old vs new GNR lead guitarist

Robin just travels and relaxes with all his free time. He's never been much for solo-work that I can remember...

Replace him with Bucket. ;D

That's a good way to end up with only one guitarist (Fortus).

hence the world "replace"

Robin has been doing some recording with natibe instruments "guiyar rig" for the computer. he has spoken "officially" about how much he likes the softawre/hardware bundle. do the research.

I really didn't like Robin at the start - I mainly hated his hair, and I hated the solo's he did on SCOM.

But after a while, I didn't mind the guy....

Well, If he?s travelling I think it means that his work on the record is done ... so why not magazines don?t do interviews with him??
you don?t need a new record or a tour to do cool interview ... and we are talking here bout the LEAD GUITAR of that banda called GUNS N ROSES that will release that PERFECT RECORD soon ... he don?t need to tell the release date, but just some cool things... I think fans wanna know the new band better... dont you think??

Man it must be frustating being a member of GnR ! That's what made Slash crazy, as he wants to keep in touch with his fans, playing live, being social, and releaseing stuff, on his own, with others, or with VR.. You gotta give him credit for being available for the fans..

 Same first impression for me about Robin when I saw RIR3 videos: absolutely terrible. (espacially by his horrible gothic look). Then with time...he was better and he looked more like a normal guy . It helps me a lot to accept him in the band. Now I appreciate him even if my favourite new GN'R guitarist is definitely Richard Fortus (feeling, playing, attitude, energy on stage, look...he reminds me the GN'R "old school").

I guess you missed all the reports from people who've been to Tommy's shows.

yeah but what's the point of an interview if there is no material to promote? and if you're not allowed to talk about the state of CD?

interviewer: hey robin.. how've you been?
robin: good..
interviewer: so you're done with your part in CD?
robin: yes i am..
interviewer: so what have you been doing all this time?
robin: travelling and spending time w/ my wife..
interviewer: we know you've worked with nin before.. how is working with trent reznor different than working with axl rose?
robin: **some explanation**
interviewer: your fellow bandmate tommy stinson has just released his solo album and dizzy reed is on tour with his own band.. do you have any plans like that?
robin: maybe in the future..


that's most likely the basic summary of any interview that robin does without anything to promote..  :no:

no dude

just some cool interview with him talkin about his music, about NIN, GNR and others thing involving music... the beginin of his musician life... I don?t know, something to us fans know about him, couse I don?t remember seeing a cool interview if it?s not Tommy

No, but his fanbase is thousands times smaller than Slash's fanbase..  I talk about the majorleague guys, not the juniorleague..

Yeah, I'll give him credit for not signing GNR items... Riiiiiiiiiiiiight...

I think I've got it... They postponed the record and everything b/c Axl wants Robin to grow all of his hair to the same length, and not the shaved front.  Obviously, this takes time.  Can't rush good hair. :hihi: :hihi:

International Research: Robin Finck.

(http://www.newgnr.com/band/fnck.jpg)

This man deseapeared around december 5 or 6 2002. Nobody has seen him since this date. If you have some information to help us, please contact?the police station.
 :hihi:

Yep, it's been almost two years already. I think Robin is a great asset for the new band and if they can bring Ron Thal, they will have a helluva band. I'm very interested to see the chemistry between Robin and Ron...I believe Robin didn't get along very well with Bucket. Then again, who did? Even Tommy recently said: "Too bad Bucket is not an amazing person." (after the journalist commented that Bucket is a great guitar player).

Isn't Tommy that guy who said CD was coming (ahelluvetimeago)....mmm yes... among other BS...? :rofl:

It's clear that he jumps however high Axl wants him to, so why shouldn't he join him in bashing the people who are fed up with Axl's workethics? Like Axl has been doing since 1996. :hihi:

-PEACE-

I know you're a Bucket fan but I don't think he's all innocent in that story. I don't know him at all so I can't really say, I just have to rely on what his former fellow GN'R members say.

Ay me, a big fan of Robin n Bucket.  :'( 
I don?t want to think he meant that. Ahem, I'd take "not an amazing guy" as not being patient as job and disappointed the rest of the band and his fans.

I really want to know the whole story in the future.

True, I am a big Buckethead-fan. I've been following the guy for years now and one thing past bandmembers (of Primus, the Deli Creeps, Praxis etc) always said about him was how great his personality was and how much they enjoyed working with him (that's why they keep on working with each other). Now all of the sudden he becomes a member of gnr and Axl (who has been playing the blame-game since '96) says these things about him, with Stinson to back him up (what a suprise).

I never said that Buckethead must be all innocent in this... He however can't be held resposible for not releasing an album that has been rumored about since as early '96. And the fact that Axl feels more like writing press-releases to add another chapter to the blame-game instead of investing some more energy in finding a replacement, more then six moths before the actual Rio gig(!!!), really is as weird as it sounds...

Where Robin is in all of this? I think that he can't be too unhappy... He's getting paid and since he never showed any ambitions to display his capabilities as a soloartist I bet he has enough ways to spend his time.

-PEACE-

Slipdisc,

If Axl was that bad to Buckethead I wonder why Brain didn't quit the band.


Solo work is not something for every musician... not Axl Rose for example. If you really think Robin is in it for the money than perhaps you should continue to talk about Buckethead.

I'm not much of a Buckethead fan but somehow I don't see him as being a bad guy. I think he just didn't have the right personality to be in a band such as GNR which probably made him seem difficult to work with. Buckethead seems to be a low key guy who just likes to play music. GNR did not satisfy him in that respect because this project is continuously delayed so he never had the opportunity to get this project out there and play in support of it. Plus, a lot of attention and scrutiny came his way which probably made him uncomfortable due to his shy nature. I think he probably believed in the music but he could never get totally comfortable. I don't  think he was in any way out for money or fame. He seems like a guy who would shy away from the spotlight instead. If anyone is out for the money and spotlight it's definitely Tommy.

As for Robin, it may be a good thing he stays low-key. I'm sure he doesn't have much to say and it would look silly if another band members keep giving us these release date estimates that never come true.

You know, I understand that to keep things calm in VR, they have to push down the GnR fame, and push up their new band.. Scott freaked out about that sticker thing not so long ago.. But Slash have been signing GnR stuff for many,many years after he left GnR, and he still does it. Axl is still in a band called GnR, but I don't see him sign stuff at all.. A friend of mine got a GnR poster, and the AFD album signed by Slash when he played in Oslo 13.august 2004, so what you are saying is simply not true...  Tell me  one thing..   If you take all the stuff Slash has signed, and all the stuff Axl has signed..  and put them in two piles, I'm sure Slash's pile would be like a little mountain, and Axl's would be very small compared to his. Don't you?  : ok:

If you are familiar with my previous posts you would have known that I truly believe that in time Brain will step out of GNR aswell.


Really? Well excuse me but how do you call this Chindem- odyssey then? It?s clear that there?s only one person calling the shots on this project?looks awfully much like a solo-project to me.


No you're right Robin is probably still with GNR because of all the great live-gigs they are playing and the stable environment he is offered to work on some serious music.

edit: I'm not questioning the fact that Robin would rather be touring the world with GNR at the moment. It seems however that being a GNR-member anno '04 means that you're getting paid to wait...it's just the way it is. And Some people really don't feel like doing that (and I respect them more).

-PEACE-

I can't believe people still talk about the money issue. You might not believe it, but there are still musicians out there that play for the passion and creativity of it all, not just the dollar signs. I'm prone to believe not a single member of GNR is there for the money. They see the potential of this project and want to see it through. If the money was so important, they would be out there with other projects where they can be touring regularly.

My point is that he hasn't.


Do you believe the other members of the band were lying when they explained how they put the songs together for the album?
Do you think an album where 8 people are completely involved in the creating process of the songs can be considered a solo album?


You're almost right.


And I respect more the people who know what they're getting in to and respect the contracts they signed, even if it means having to wait for the album to be finished before the fun stuff begins.

Maybe Mysteron could update us with what Robin?s doing lately with GNR ?
 ::)

  Maybe we could start a band relief fund for the current band members since we know they are getting little or
no pay.

i could send them a load of bread and beans,  and of course lots of alchohol for tommy,  and some toys for bucket!

can we do a coop on this idea?

Pittman's safe for now - I'm holding him hostage untill Chinese Democracy is released.....

at robinfinck.com under nest, pictures, theme: record.  ???

Where have you been? It's been disussed and it looks like he's fucking with us. Actually I bet it has nothing to do with GnR. He's probably working on his own record...

Solo work isn't for axl rose, how about regular work :rofl:

then the members come back totally unrecognisble ::)
can't wait to see them :peace:

*applause*

Robin is a class act.
Since RIR3 when he performed Sossego... and then at the Hard Rock where he crowd surfed...  he has won my heart

Robin's message "To GN'R fans" that popped up on his website earlier this year was very cool.

"...touring and touring and touring."

Robin and Tommy are easily my favorite members of the new lineup.

Robin :love:

yeah i like Robin - i saw him live with NIN in 2000 and he has awesome stage presence.
He's not a huge talker though is he? I mean he doesnt generally do a lot of press and he hasnt been doing solo stuff like Tommy and Dizzy.
So anyone with any new thoughts to this new guitarist thing? ie. are they going to replace Buckethead and/or re=-do his parts on CD??
Man I hope not - I was so looking foward to hearing his contributions on a studio GNR record - I think he could be the catalyst for an amazing record  : ok:

I hope he has been in the 'woodshed' practicing his ass off. In my opinion, Slash is more technically proficent than Robin but with all that down time, he could come back one hell of a player and show all the haters that he isnt as sloppy as they thought.

Slipdisc..... If you are true friends with someone as Brain and Buckethead seem to be, and then one of you gets treated horribly by a band member and made to leave, you don't hang around and eventually leave like you keep saying Brain will. You'd be out the door straight away.

Brain still being in the band speaks far more for the idea that it was Buckethead who was the problem, not Axl.
