How? You can't force a guy to stay in your band?

Contracts.  They are all likely 1099 contractors, not even real employees (though that is just a guess).

#6292 Re: Guns N' Roses » Everyone show your support for R o B i N with an exclusive new skin » 944 weeks ago

I originally meant that as a joke, but since we're on the subject...

I don't care that there is a Finck skin, I'm bothered that after ages of not having a Slash one, it was changed after a couple days to a guy I have little respect for.  Announcing it and giving people the option to use it was good enough, changing it for everybody was a little over the top.  Not everybody supports him.  Not everybody thinks he's good for the band.  He's been probably the most divisive member of the band since joining and not just because he "took Slash's place" in GnR.  His "style" (if you want to call it that) may fit some people's opinion of what the GnR sound is, but his constent butchering of the old material kills anything positive about him for some people. 

I get that some people like the new material, and therefore assume Robin contributed to it significantly.  I don't care for most of it, but more than that, I'm not ready to give credit to anybody other than Axl until more information comes out about the true writing process.  I find it very hard to believe that Robin wrote Better.  He may have come up with the riff (which I like) and one of the guitar solos (which sucks ass), but until proven otherwise, I'm going to believe that the entire song structure was written and arranged by Axl.

As for if Slash were somehow back in the band, I wouldn't want you changing everybody's skin to his either.  The skins are supposed to be individual preferences, not communist decision making.  One of the things I've always liked about this board is the right to feel however you wanted about things, not being told who to support.  Changing the skins automatically for people goes against everything this board stands for.

I was extremely disturbed to find that my skin was changed to the finck one without my permission...

To me it seems a lot like Some Kind of Monster - but better, as it's issues and problems from well over a decade trying to be wrapped up.

There could be a great documentary made about CD if it was allowed by Axl.

There could be, but there won't be.  The most interesting parts have already happened and if we're to believe what we're told, all that's left is negotiating that will never be done out in the public.

I also think there's absolutely no point for this band to tour without an album.

There wasn't any point to the last couple tours either.  Well, they were done to make money, but that's it.

Now thats funny.

Although I can see why you would think that.

Like I said, I don't think that's why it's that way, but it is coincidental.  It really wasn't meant to be a shot at anybody.

Thanks for the new Slash skin!

robin didn't agree with new management's direction and jumped ship. possible???

Doubt it. NIN and Robin have probably been lurking in the shadows for a while now. In my honest opinion I think the management got caught with their pants down when that picture was on NIN's website and I doubt Axl had a clue too.

Probably right.  How long did it take Axl to respond to the Dr Pepper thing? 

Exactly.

Don't you think it's about time to create a Slash skin - or at least one that has him on it somewhere other than the AFD cross?  If nobody has one or has the time to make one, let me know how and I'll make on (even though it will suck).  It seems like the skins we have all tend to favor who the admins like (whether that's why it's that way or not).  BH, Ron, Izzy, etc.  It's criminal not to have Slash appear somewhere on at least one of the skins.  [/rant]

I'll avoid to comment or speculate till we'll have some sort of statement from Robin himself and Axl / GNR camp

Welcome to the board.  I have to ask, why would you join if not to speculate?  5  That's all we can do considering the lack of real information coming from anywhere on this or any other subject.
