Now I can agree on part of this robin thing.

To me his finest hour with the band is his playing on some of the CD songs, I thought he added some good stuff to them. Yet most of his public attention in GNR came from his live peformance of mostly older songs. So yeah - that kinda sucks for him.

We can't really speculate further as we don't know his actual motivation for leaving. Was trents offer just too good? Was there a secret Axl/Robin fight? Was he just sick of waiting? No idea.

The problem is you can't blame DJ for not being Robin - before he plays.
Just as one shouldn't have blamed Robin for not being slash - until he played.

If Axl and Slash can't sort their shit out that isn't robin's fault. And if Robin and Axl can't work out a deal to get him back then that's not DJ's fault.

I was open to giving Robin a chance...i just didn't like that he replaced Slash once i heard his rearrangment of the parts. Likewise I'm open to giving DJ a shot....if he gets up there and plays the Slash/Robin parts in a way I think is disrespectful or worse than the records then I'll be the first to say he sucks.

But right now...all we know is that he's a competent guitarist with an interesting history of la rock stuff, which makes me look forward to giving him his shot to impress me!

i speculate there was a fight between robin and axl about when the album coming out. robin wanted it out in 2006. axl wanting continuing perfecting it. that was the end of robin. the shaft. thanks, axl

Robin didn't really do much for the fans apart from play poorly for them when they paid...
