Do you see what I fixed for you up there?
You get a few more posts like this tonight before you sit in the corner. And just to make things 100% crystal, you're going so far as to piss off possibly the most pro-R o b in mod in the history of GN'R forums. Calm it down, or you're sitting out for a day or two.
sit in the corner? how do you know i'm pissing robin fans off? i'm a robin fan. duh. axl said "take shit from no one" and i'm telling it how i see it. i don't let others influence me. i don't follow the crowd. i don't roll over

Add something to the conversation or move on. Last warning; baited posts like this are not what we're looking for here.
what are you talking about? baited posts? i'm adding a lot to the conversation. i'm saying robin's work on twat and til is just as sweet is what slash does on guns records. it's what i hear when i listen to the chinese democracy record and appetite / illusions. it's not baited. it's what i hear

Im starting to come around to the idea that people can have different opinions than me. i just can't understand/comprehend how someone can think a solo is better than SCOM or NR.
Honestly, i just don't
hell even the KOHD solo Slash does is so underrated.
We haven't even mentioned his Estranged guitar stuff etc etc etc etc
robin's guitar work on the chinese democracy record is underrated more than slash on illusions

Folks, please don't feed the troll..
Bono is 100% on spot on this...
At first I thought he was our own htgth's HBK but then it became annoying.
I think everyone can agree that Finck was important to Chinese Democracy, being it in a good way or in a bad.
And everyone can agree that old songs, live, now, with Ashba, sound more similar to the way Slash played 'em.
Whatever else is opinion and everyone have their own. I already ranted on how I think Finck (and to a extent Bucket) was Axl's way out of Slash's and GN'R's old way but he, Axl, failed to pursue that Holy Graal of a new direction, spent years cutting, pasting, recutting and repasting CD sessions instead of moving forward and I HOPE we won't be stuck much longer on nostalgia and I have a strange feeling that a new album will be announced/released in 2012.
If not, I'll keep Gn'R as my favorite band as a teenager and keep how CD saga and what I believed Axl once was for carryig the name meant to me personally in between 97 and 2008 as a memory and will become a casual.
As I said before, I've already travelled 30+ hours to see this band live and in June I'll be in the same town as GNR, my hotel is a 5 minute walk from the venue and I have no intention on catching them playing the same concert I've already seen 3 times.
first, i'm not a troll.
second, finck is more than important on chinese. robin is the lead guitar player on the record like slash was on appetite
third, dj ashba isn't a good live guitar player. dj doesn't sound good on studio tracks. i know slash. dj ain't slash
fourth, you are right about one thing....axl wanted to move forward away from slash with robin on the chinese democracy record. but axl is a perfectionist. the dream didn't come true. in 2008, robin was out of the picture and chinese democracy didn't sell in the states. axl didn't promote it. the single was a bad choice. little to no radio airplay. the album didn't succeed commercially like the illusions did before it
fifth, i'm not optimistic about a new record. so far, 2012 is another tour year for axl. if there was news of a release, we would have had it before the up close and personal tour. before the other tours before the up close tour too. next is HOF. then another tour. i don't see a new record coming
sixth, i've seen gnr a lot too. probably more than you lol i've spent lots of money. lots of money on the chinese democracy record too. from my experience, i see guns n roses looking better than ever live in 2002 and 2006. the band hasn't been that good since the 2006 tour. but robin made the band great again performin better out of the blue in bright green
seventh, with HOF....the european tour will most likely be the same as up close and personal tour. hopefully this time dj ashba leaves and robin comes back to the band fulltime for the nostalgia classics!

If your ears can't notice the piano and orchestral stuff leading the majority of the songs on the album, I'm done talking to you. It's pointless.
my ears don't notice the piano or orchestral. what my ears hear on the majority of the songs is big time guitar by robin finck. and a big solo by buckethead on prostitute. this is what my ears notice listening to the chinese democracy record
#58 Re: Guns N' Roses » Mar. 12th, 2012 - House of Blues, Los Angeles, CA » 693 weeks ago
mogs?
mogs? not mogs. the chinese democracy record. the latest guns n roses record. you know, the record that was a bestbuy exclusive? didn't sell well in the states. sold a boat load international. i'm listening to that record. on the chinese democracy record.....the robin lead guitar riffs and big solos stand out to my ears more than pianos and keyboards. the same way slash stood out to me more than adler's drumming or what duff did

Damn Bobo, you speak like you actually know things about DJ more than DJ knows himself. For all we know DJ IS writing new music, with as much speculation that he isn't. So don't state that he isn't as a fact, when no-one but DJ really knows.
And these few things:
Better is driven by robin's guitar
Agreed
This I Love is driven by robin's guitar
Disagreed. Aside from his solo spot, it's a piano/orchestral piece with no guitar.
There was a time is driven by robin's guitar.
Disagreed. Robin has a nice solo, but most people praise this song for Bucket's work, not his.
street of dreams is driven by robin's guitar
Disagreed, aside from his nice solo, it's a piano ballad.
irs is driven by robin's guitar
Agreed, but it's an average song at best. The highlight is Bucket's solo spot
catcher is driven by robin's guitar
Disagreed. Again, it's mostly a piano driven song, with guitar on top.
i could go on and on how robin drives chinese democracy with a guitar
And I could go on and on, just like Monkey said, that CD isn't a guitar-driven album.
Anyway, keep this blind Robin talk up, and you'll find your way to my 'ignore' list. And I haven't done that to anyone on this site.

Ok I'm going to agree to disagree.
For the record I like Robin's guitar parts of CD too. But clearly I don't feel they're as fundamental to the structure of the songs as you seem to.
robin's lead guitar is as fundamental and sound to guns n roses as slash is
