#461 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 970 weeks ago
I think we all can agree that this is not a positive thing for Axl or Guns N Roses, Chinese Democracy-wise. It's a major setback.
I'm not agreeing to that until there's confirmation that Robin's no longer part of the band. As far as we know right now, Robin's just with NIN until something happens album-wise from GNR. I mean, logic would tell you that GNR wouldn't do ANOTHER tour without releasing an album. Well, until an album comes out, the guys in the band can do whatever they want. Finck could audition to be Weiland's replacement in VR for all I care at the moment. It doesn't matter until we know for sure that he's out of Guns N' Roses. If the band had a tour planned or album release planned, then yes, this would be a big deal. Otherwise, it's just another band member staying occupied until something happens again. No different than Tommy touring with Soul Asylum or Ron doing his solo work.

I am fairly certain that all their contracts are up at this point. The recording is done, there is no tour planned. He isn't going to pay them for absolutely nothing.:haha:
Well, according to the Zoot interview, he was paying for the instruments that no one was using, why not do it with the musicians as well?

So this proves that I got home by 9:30 last night... hahaha
Anyway, I only recommended the Shine because it's the one I have and it's the best phone I've ever used. Having to pay an extra $100 probably isn't worth it, especially with the ones you get for free. It's nice that they gave you all those extra incentives. I didn't get jack shit when I renewed and upgraded in November.

Which members of which band are we insulting ?
We just said that Finck's style suits better for NIN than for Guns N'Roses.
That's not an insult.

Same here.:Humbert:
Same here. It's really great news
With no Buckethead in the touring band, Robin is the #1 guitarist there. Ron's a great guitarist and throws in some nice licks, but Robin's the guy carrying the load of the classic and current solos. He's the key guy up there with his blues-rock style. Sure, everyone knows who I'd rather have up there, and I've made some not-so-positive statements about his playing in the past, but truth be told, he's the best fit for this version of the band. He has that classic Guns tone combined with his personal style. He fits great.

Nice to see that Washington controls its own destiny now... I hope they get in because AO deserves to be MVP this year and Boudreau deserves the Jack Adams... both are moot if the team doesn't make the playoffs. All they need is a point against Florida.
Looks like the only way my dream first round match-up (Montreal vs. Boston) will happen is if Philly beats Pittsburgh, Montreal loses to Toronto, and Boston loses to Buffalo. Of course a Montreal vs. Ottawa series would be fine too if the Sens are still struggling. Alfie and Fisher won't be playing the first round, so that's a huge blow for them. Montreal needs Komisarek back though! I think he'll be playoff ready. Go Habs!

Anyone think that this is just Trent fucking around again to stir up shit among GNR fans? He's done things like this in the past. I know it's a stretch, but you never know.
If Finck tours with NIN this summer, I don't think it's a big deal. Nothing's happening on the GNR front anyway and it's almost too late to announce a summer tour. If the album does by chance get released, a tour may ensue eventually, but the NIN tour may be finished by that time. All the rest of the guys in the band have their own projects and some are bigger than others. Remember when the Replacements reunited? Everyone was crying that Tommy left GNR. Well, he just left for a short tour with the 'Mats and came back afterward. He never left GNR. Probably a similar thing happening here with Robin.
