Its nothing to do with pedigree. Your blaming the delay of releasing the last GNR album on Robin, when a fucking army of musicians and producers have came and gone since 93, Slash included, when Axl started trying to make the next GNR album. Its ridiculous, Robin had nowt to do with the delay.

Is Slash a shit guitarist? He had how many years working on the next GNR album, was it 3? What about Buckethead, is he a shit guitarist?

Ridiculous reasoning there D.

Yeah man, I liked the quip about "the rest of the free world" as well

Voted Robin, love his work on CD and was lucky enough to see him on a night when he brought his A-game, pretty fucking awesome. His solo spots were appalling though, I never want to be subjected to that again, I dont play guitar and I expect thats how I'd sound if I was handed a guitar and told to do something for 5 minutes. Either that or pluck the opening to Stand By Me over and over.

Havnt seen DJ live yet or heard what new GNR material he's helped make, so he's way down the pecking order in my eyes. I didnt like Robins 2002 outfits much, thought in 2006 he looked pretty fucking cool to be honest. Dont like DJ's look at all, I despise that cornball sunset strip image, dont like Sixx AM, dont like his playing of the CD material, dont like his WTTJ - its too pantomimey and goofy, in 2006 it had more of a rip your head off all hell is about to break out kind of vibe. Dont like him boasting on twitter about being a cunt to hotel staff and restaurant staff.

Personally, for as good as a performance and stage production this line up has, until they produce original music that I like as much as the CD era, the CD era will always be my preference over them.
