^ Yeah, that's what happens when you write before thinking. hihi

And Rob avoided my questions about this statement. Wonder why...


What?

The only question I recall you asking me is whether or not I have video footage of these local guitarists in my area who I say are better than Finck. The answer is no, I don't.

When I go to a local bar/club to see a show, I can't say filming it is one of my priorities. And to be honest, I've never uploaded anything to youtube.

I really don't see why you find this so hard to believe? Like I said, I've never found Robin's playing to be much more than just average. He's got a pretty choppy/sloppy style that personally, just doesn't make for an overly impressive performance.

I'm not claiming that he can't play guitar. I just don't see him being very difficult to replace. Apparently Axl felt is was do'able too.


I think Robin's SCOM solo better than Slash. And pretty much all of his playing on old songs as well.


Your opinion.

But I couldn't disagree more.

I find it quite impressive. Wonder how many "average" guitarists could match the absolutely amazing work of Robin in Chinese Democracy. hihi

If you could recommend a few of those guitarists you talk about to Axl we might get some incredible songs in the future. drool

On topic, Chinese Democracy is that great because of everyone involved. I love Buckethead's work so much, but as we have seen Robin was essential to make this record as unique as it is.

Cool, so you're not able to use the Search engine on YouTube rather than filming it yourself and upload it?

I also aksed why in hell would Axl chose Robin if he's so average as you said.

I really don't see why you find this so hard to believe? Like I said, I've never found Robin's playing to be much more than just average. He's got a pretty choppy/sloppy style that personally, just doesn't make for an overly impressive performance.

Apparently, Axl wanted him (and even praised his work in a unknown song), but Robin didn't feel the same.

I don't know how to explain again and again how Robin's style is unique and how this is not what you can find in your neighborhood. You just can't, no matter how many teenage guitar players you show playing SCOM note per note. It's a very different thing to have someone capable to make the guitar sounding different than others and some other who can just hit the right notes.

I'm pretty sure you can't see it in that way. But I'm glad Axl could.

I'm probably more of a Buckethead fan (in general) but I think both are great on Chinese Democracy. If I weren't so biased, it would almost be a tie on the solos and stuff.  Robin won me over when I saw him play with GNR in 06.

As the OP said "Robin isn't fit to hold Bucket's guitar strap".
