Re: Who's your dream replacement for Robin?
Well I better not derail the thread too far by getting into this. But I think the only reason Axl has needed 3 guitarists is that he wants shred in the songs. Slash only plays in his own style. Thats why axl wanted Zakk as well. Then with Robin, well he has never been up to the "guitar god" status required to be lead in GNR...ad band with just Robin and a rhythm guy would have been less than the old GNR...so they needed an edge. Yeah robin wrote some cool riffs, and the occasional cool solo like in the blues. But he can't do what is needed and that's why bucket is brought in.
The third guitarist does nothing 90% of the time in GNR gigs except duplicate a rhythm part with a different chord shape of the same chord. Now robin is gone...the shred guy (presently ron) could easily play robins bluesy bits...then his own shred solo...nothing would be lost.
