The band needs a third time is the charm for the Finck Tank.

I was really tempted to see this gig. But I think it would be ruined for moi personally, as I last some them in New York and Robin was in the band still.

Hope it is a good show for all that go.

However, I couldn't put aside my dislike for DJ Ashba and the lack of the Finck Tank.

Robin's image in 2006 was pretty rock n' roll.

He has a uniqueness and doesn't look like a poser like DJ Ashba.

The guy also is all over Chinese Democracy as well.

I think it is a laughing stock that no Chinese Democracy guitarists are with the band and that Brain is gone.

Wish the tour all the best though, just not my cup of tea.

If you can't keep one of your Chinese Democracy guitarists in the band it is a reflection of oneself and not the guitarists.

If he wanted to release new music he would. But he's clearly afraid to Mister Rose that is.

Also losing two talents: Buckethead with his phenomenal ability and yes Robin Finck with his songwriting and guitar abilities does hurt you.

I don't see how anyone else doesn't find it kind of sad they are covering a song that someone else wrote and he's not in your band anymore.

I think it says a lot about the Captain of the ship not the people that left.

Hopefully, Mister Rose tour goes successful. But DJ Ashba ruins any song I see him in. Too gimmicky and just doesn't come off as someone I can take remotely serious like Buckethead and Robin Finck. Yes Buckethead wears a Bucket on his head and you might say that is a gimmick. I disagree. It is a layer of comfort and he isn't playing it up. Also, the guy let's his talent speak for himself.

Add this to my hate on DJ Ashba posts.

As for Slash he is talented as well. I ain't going to compare him to Buckethead different styles.

However, post Slash losing your best talent: Finck and Buckethead makes your efforts of creating new music troublesome, plus it showcases you're the problem in the equation clearly.
