Very underwhelmed, but good luck to the guy.

I wasnt a huge fan of Robins playing live but I admired him for sticking with the band through all the shit. By 1999 he was fed up with the quagmire creative process and Axl not delivering on the vocals or finishing songs.
He stepped up when Buckethead left and made himself a far better performer and player than he was in 02. To be honest when I seen him live he was awesome, not a bum note and all Slash's solos nailed perfectly. The only boob was his solos which were excruciating and bemusing to the crowd, people were looking at each other wondering what the fuck they were hearing.
I dont blame him for going to work with NIN, I would have ditched Axl years before, NIN is a slick professional outfit, GNR is an utter shambles.

I cant believe people think Axl is suddenly going to start touring and releasing albums religiously. Not a hope in hell. There might be another album some way along the line with The General etc on it, but that will be it. The next few years imo will be the last opportunity to see Axl play live again before he retreats into his mansion for another decade.
Axl couldnt get an album made when he had arguably the most talented rosta of muscians and producers in GNR history back at the start of the millenium. If this guy adds anything to the mix it will be in the vein of Bumblefoot and Franks "additions" to the last album.

Remember Brain talking about that weird hall he recorded in, that gave the drums a huge sound?
Seems like it was a pointless exercise, I assume that sound was lost in the mixing and mastering process over the years.

I wonder who will else will be on it, if its Beta and Co talking about Slash I dont think I'll bother tuning in.

I hope its more about the making of CD, speaking to the people who worked on it over the years and Axls hopes and aspirations.
If he wants to dish some dirt I would love to hear about the aborted tours, riots and the constant obsticles that prevent the normal functioning of the band.

Has it always been about human rights? What about during the 50s and 60s when suspicion of having some communist ideals could get you arrested? Mabye I've just watched too much TV about America , it all just seemed like sensationalised scare mongering.
