    Great job! Agree and really like the guitar and drums. 

    thank you so much kwick! 

     

    I also started a music project called In Lisbon where a band i put together hosts a different singer each time and we're doing web episodes with 3 live tracks recorded live at a studio with a small interview. we just recorded the first ep and we recorded Still of the Night by whitesnake, Dream on by Aerosmith and Sweet Child by Gnr. and we played the guitar solo like guns used to do with Ashba and BBF to split the solo between me and the other guitar player in the band. I'll post it once its released ;)

    Who the fuck are these three?   Are we just posting pics of anyone now?

    why are you such a dick. Thats axls sister amy in the middle and margot, the ultimate fan girl that has been to almost every NITL concert or even all of them actually.

    what? you are talking about the guy like he is on par with Slash,Frusciante,Cantrell,Thayil,etc,he is  someone that has less songwriting credits than gilby clarke, and this is not an opinion is a fact,

    well first of all when i like a guitar player its because he or she does something that is quite unique so to put him on a list next 5 other guys that sound nothing like him seems the kind of reasoning a 10 year old would come up with. music is about individuality and what you bring to the table.

     

    Robin is an amazing guitar player with a career many would envy. On top of that he is extremely good at a unique classic rock, bluesy sound and also on the industrial side. Its stupid to try and defend him just because some people, like you, dont get it. Its ok, its just like sex, some people get it, some dont. If i can respect the fact that you dont care about him, why is it so difficult to accept that lots of people actually love his work.

    Live he was and still is one of the most interesting guitar players i've seen. and i have seen quite a few because playing guitar is actually what i do for a very long time.

  4. Robin Rocks, as tasteful as it gets and you def need to understand something about rock n roll to appreciate him. if you re looking for a slash clone, look any other way. But if you enjoy hendrix, peter green and jimmy page you might just love Robin. i Know i do and he's a big reason why gnr was interesting after slash. His 2006/2007 tour was amazing! and Axl was singing and running around like crazy. Still the best shows i attended even after NITLT tour.

     

    So Robin Rocks and Fuck the haters

    Good in the studio, horrific live - except Patience.

    i think you re mistaking patience for djs version. Robins solo on that. from a guitar player point of view seems like the most interesting cover to the solo after the original. he uses a lot of tasteful triads there and adds something very unique. he plays in key and understands the song structure and makes it his own. Dj didn't do so well. out of key and time almost always.

  6. if you look at bbf arrangements for any gnr track, from better to civil war and sorry that he did in his private shows, the arrangement alone for guitar is out of this world. he covers the singing melody and chord progression at the same time, its not unique because many guitar players can do that, not all, but some do. 

     

    whats interesting about his take is that he is on a level where he can hear the melody and translate immediately to guitar with licks and runs that are reminiscent of hendrix to steve vai. thats pretty amazing and on that level there arent so many to pull it off. what that gives you is a core idea of the song in one instrument and if you understand what he is playing its pretty mind blowing.

     

    so i stand by my comments, BBF is an amazing artist bar none. if i miss him in gnr? no we have slash that actually wrote those songs, at the same time i cant take anything away from such an amazing guitar player as bbf is. We were lucky to have him on so many levels when slash wasnt an option

     

    One of the things we can he thankful for is him always trying to push and actually getting new songs on the setlist. BBF is the reason why Axl started singing dont cry again and also Estranged. 

     

    BBF rocks regardless of anyones opinion on him. we all can have our opinion but when it comes down to it that dude can play the six string, or any number of strings actually, like its no ones business.

    im fucking done with this... When i first listened to GnR, it was Axl's voice what got me into them. Now that his unique raspy voice is gone, it just doesnt sound right. This isnt fucking gnr man, I prefer Axl voice to Slash's guitar playing for real. If he had the raspy voice and slash werent there, I would still be happy with Ashba...

    thats funny cuz i went to the concert last friday in lisbon thinking the same. and you know what, his voice sounds amazing when you hear it through the speakers. the recordings only capture something we def don't get live. his voice is strong, in tune and fucking sharp life.

     

    Stop watching the videos online, go to a show and make up your mind. But all the frequencies that get killed when you re recording a show through the PA system to your phone seem to hurt axls voice the most. the rest of the instruments sound more or less the same. his voice sounds amazing live, and here not so much. that believe me that the recording issue not what the people that paid money to see the show are getting.

    Was there a Cornell/GNR connection? I assumed him and Duff were probably friends, or had that Seattle-respect for each other and this was a Duff thing. Was Axl friends with Cornell too?

    yes!

    Soundgarden opened for gnr in the UYI Tour for the european run and US and probably elsewhere.

     

    Gnr Recorded big dumb sex from Soundgarden in the spaghetti incident

     

    Axl said Chris Cornell was one of the best rock n roll singers for their generation back in the day

     

    Cornell recorded a song with slash (promise) for his first solo record

     

    They all loved Soundgarden and you already mentioned the duff connection but duff also played with Cornell on the reunited Mad Season last year or the year before that.

  9. Hey Guys there´s going to be a Guns N Roses Pre Party at the Hard Rock Cafe Lisbon the night Before. My Band is playing a tribute show as well and we'd like to welcome all you Gunners that will be in town to come down to the Hard Rock, have a few drinks and celebrate the most dangerous band in the world!

     

    Its gonna be June 1st / 10h30 PM / Hard Rock Cafe Av. Liberdade, Free Entrance.

    We did the same thing back in 2006 before the Guns Gig for Rock in Rio and it was pretty sweet! Hope to see you guys there.

     

     

     

  10. i´m trully thankful for bbf being part of gnr. I Remember in 2006 i liked his playing but he was thrown in on a tour with a band he didint know and you could tell live, because his stage presence was all over the place, the guitars he used werent a great fit and his solos werent that melodic nor faithful to the original songs.

     

    In 2009 he came to gnr as a fuckin beast! he literally nailed every single note, looked the part and was such a nice guy (he always was) but his rendition of dont cry is absolutely stellar, the way he can play any gnr song with the vocal melody and guitar melody  at the same time is beyond be me.

     

    Im thankful i got to know him through gnr, im still a big fan, always will be and i keep watching the vegas dvd for his licks. And some of you should show some fuckin respect. he fought hard for us to hear estranged live and dont cry.

     

    Super class act, love him. 

     

    BBF you fucking ROCK!!!
