#1041 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 909 weeks ago
Honestly, I go away for one w/e and this happens.
The positive side says to me this is temporary or maybe he is using the end of his contract and the pending release of CD as a bargaining chip.
Unfortunately what I really am thinking is that if he were to have left temporarily, we would have heard that by now.
All in all doesn't make good reading, although I have to say I did like Robin in NIN before he joined GNR
Right now Axl needs to throw a frickin bone and do a decent update.

Does he venture out of the US?
Awesome guitarist, I'd quite happily see him back in GN'R, if only for his guitar skills.
#1043 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash comments on recent happenings » 911 weeks ago
I saw VR at Brixton Academy last night.
They still put on a good rawk show IMO and Slash is still one of the coolest mofo's on earth.
I went with three girls who didn't know any VR songs, but still enjoyed it.
Robert and Slash must be quite close - two of Roberts son's have played in bands that have supported VR in the UK.

Well this is certainly one massive headfuck!
#1045 Re: The Sunset Strip » The NINE INCH NAILS Thread » 911 weeks ago
I haven't heard any of this yet, but its certainly caught my interest as a NIN fan.
Thought this part was interesting (see 'more info')
'The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we're able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we've ever created.'
I'd love to see Axl do something like this with GN'R, although I appreciate the music may not lend itself to this kind of release.
#1046 Re: The Sunset Strip » METALLICA Discussion » 911 weeks ago
Well I've recently 'found' Metallica again, a little. I thought St. Anger was utter shite, so it can only get better for me now. And at least you can rely on them to actually release something.

I really hope the return of Guns N' Roses isn't marked by a single in The Hulk. Batman or Bond maybe, but not the hulk, please!
#1048 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will you ever give up? » 913 weeks ago
I am amazed at how long this supposed 'negotiation' is going on. I mean its not exactly Middle East Peace talks, is it? Unless there are lawyers and ex members (incl their lawyers) involved I cannot see why the band and the record company couldn't iron out their diffrences with the band over a few days of meetings.
If there are any plans for 2008, I would expect the plan to be along the normal lines of a fall release (thanksgving). Along these lines if we don't hear a release date from them by July / August at the very latest I see another year of silence ahead of us and the usual bullshit gnr seasonal cycle.
At which point I begin to think I will totally lose interest :-(
(I say think I can be quite fickle if I want to be!)
#1049 Re: Guns N' Roses » Marc Canter interview (W/ CD mention) » 913 weeks ago
Pretty much confirms all the leaks are on the record doesn't it?
#1050 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will you ever give up? » 913 weeks ago
If it wasn't for the internet, i'd have given up a while back. Not given up on the band just the 'waiting' part. If I'm away from home, on holiday or generally otherwise occupied I don't really think about GNR. But when I'm back at work, home then there's always that niggling 'I wander if there's any news' thought in the back of my head. I think its more to do with my personality that i don't like things unfinished...
The other thing that strikes me about this is how Axl will need to string this out if he wants success. Just think 14yrs or so of waiting, then once you have the album it could all be over in 60 minutes or less. Half that if all the leaks we have heard are included. Potentially a big come down after the first few weeks of intense listening (hard core fans) or a few listens (casual fans). Which leads me to think that we may see a six month announcement to release date timeframe, a tour announced in build up (to encourage people to buy tickets before the album is released and they lose interest) and maybe a couple of songs (possibly not on the album) released to create the hype. I still don't see the band doing many interviews and promo mind you.
