Well, I noticed that on the Thin Lizzy "Deluxe Edition" releases that they skipped over the first two albums with Brian Robertson ("Night Life" and "Fighting"); perhaps Robbo is going to join the tour to coincide with the release of the "Deluxe Edition" of those 2 albums.

I don't know but Vivian Campbell has dates with Def Leppard until mid November and the Thin Lizzy press release says this :

Thin Lizzy can officially announce Richard Fortus from Guns N' Roses will replace Vivian Campbell on guitar for all Thin Lizzy live shows whilst Vivian is back touring and recording with Def Leppard.

Not if his Rock in Rio Rocket Queen solo is a fair indication of what his guitar skills are...

Besides, Fortus is one of the best guitarists that GnR has ever had ( way better than Finck and Ashba ). Why would anyone want him to be replaced by Tobias ??

Why does this shit only happen to GnR?

This shit always has happened in GNR. The best thing you can do is have no expectations at all concerning this band. Otherwise, prepare to be disappointed.

Although I have to admit, the occasional live shows are good.

I know! What I'm saying is that you don't see this stuff happening to Metallica, U2, RHCP, anyone else! It's like a friggin' curse, I tell ya!

Well. I hardly see Richard as a definite part of GNR.

He has always been quite the musician-for-hire (a good one that is) so that this would happen is not surprising.

Did like all his work in and with GNR and I wish they could act more of a real band and be functional. Then this would not be happening.

I just hope that Axl has some big plans for RIR (Izzy maybe), and that this is not another round of the band falling apart.
