Just something to pinder for the couple people that seem to think everybody is completely on board with the new band.

There's a lot of buts about AFD, UYI. Where have you been while those albums have been discussed the 450 million times on GNR message boards? From the use of cowbell to lame lyrics.

LOL - 2 examples?  Good one.  Way to prove me wrong. 

Maybe I wasn't clear.  The only people blasting AFD and UYI are doing so when forced to seek a weakness or fault.  Can you say the same about CD?  No.  The faults are so obvious from the second you look at the booklet before you even put the album on.

for this album and this tour, Axl needs Robin and Bucket on guitar...in the end they are the spirit of CD. Tommy, Paul, Goose, Dizzy, and Axl are the foundation, but Robin and Bucket really have the most influence....both on stage and off.

Agree completely.

I've always maintained that Robin and Bucket, despite everything, compliment each other perfectly.

A hack on guitar compliments one of the most talented players out there?  How so?  Do you mean if you combine the two, they average out to an average guitarist?  I'll give you that I guess.

Yes, Robin is all over CD.  CD was also a giant flop.  Add to that many people feel the reason for this flop is less BH on the album and more other guys, and I can't see any way that what you said even remotely makes sense.  Robin helped write one of the biggest failures in music history.  That will look good on his resume along with all his other (non-existant) writing credits.  Give the guy credit for what he did instead of making up accomplishments...he wrote part of a flop and played choppy guitar on the album.  I could have done that for 1/10th of what Axl paid him.

Robin and BH complimented each other?  Please.  CD would have been a better album without Robin.
