Good one.
Yep! And Russ I never said that Axl dropped the mic at the solo. And my ears clearly noticed that Robin fucked up the song before the solo, and Axl dropped the mic before the solo. But in all seriousness, Buzz may have a point. The song was so fucked up that he probably didn't want to hear the solo. I think you like Robin's playing, and that is your right. And I may be the only one, but I don't like it. He's sloppy, he sounds like he misses every other note. When I saw GNR the only song he pulled better than Slash or anyone else for that matter could ever pull is SCOM, but it may have been a fluke. For the rest he was sloppy and completely ruined a couple songs.

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.
I hate to say this but I agree with you. Robin completely massacred Catcher in the Rye. And his playing in general on that record was subpar. Robin's playing has always been very sloppy at best. So take away his sloppy parts and yeah I can see CD being way better.
I could be wrong, but I think Ron is the one fucking it all up like a soup sandwich. You fell in the same trap I did. I called out Bucket for a crap solo only to find out it was Ron. If the solo is fucked, chances are Ron touched it.
My respect for Ron's playing had dropped dramatically then. But it doesn't change the fact that Robin's play is sloppy. His rendition of Patience is the perfect example. Just look for the footage in Detroit in 02. Robin's playing Patience is so bad that Axl just drops the mic and leave.

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

Thanks neemo and Russ. And I'm interested in future cd releases. But that ain't happening so I'm looking forward to the fight between Beta and Perla. That should be interesting (sarcastic tone). As far as I can tell GNR is officially dead. As I'd feared CD is likely Axl's last record.

I'd like to vote but I can't see the poll.

I don't see the poll.
#627 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Perla to Axl: "LOSER!" » 898 weeks ago
Man, being a GNR fans is really a bummer nowadays. We got CD finally and all you read about is rants about Slash. Something is horribly wrong when you come to a GNR board and the hot topics are Axl's obsession with Slash and a topic about a guy getting it up in the ass by his girlfriend. *lol*
#628 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Insists Original Guns N' Roses Lineup Is Dead and Buried » 898 weeks ago
no Izzy bashing...he was talking about the 2006 tour and how it was cool because he didn't have to depend on Izzy...he could just come in when he wanted. They were going to do the show anyway so if he didn't show or remember a song, it didn't matter. He was not complaining about Izzy.
"The Izzy bit was fun -- and also fun because we didn't have to rely on him in any way, which is how he prefers things and works better for everyone. That said, you never knew if Izzy would be there or not or if he'd remember the song or decide to leave early. It didn't cause any problems, because we were doing our show regardless and didn't have to depend on anything, but it did open everyone's eyes a bit and blow minds.
He called, asked to come out and negotiated a deal with management that it's probably best that none of us knew about or the fun would've seemed a bit more like being used or taken advantage of spoiling the moment. As it was, we had a great time."
Ok. I misread that part madagas. Sorry. It's an interesting piece nonetheless and like I said. To Del's credit, he asked a few tough questions. Not reassuring as far as another record goes though. Also interesting to see that Brain is still considered a part of his band.
