damiandoerr Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Axl may choose to scale back the line up and keep the chemistry intact as apposed to bringing someone new in to the band. Its seems that if a replacement was made that there would have been a announcement or at the very least a rumor would have been started. But then again Axl has been talking about having two lead guitars since slash was in the band so at the sametime it would be hard to see him change his mind and just go with richard and robin. What do you people think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Niveen Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Who knows ?I hope he hired someone new ! Fortus and Finck don't have the charisma (nor the skills) to play lead in Axl's GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon87 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I hope Richard takes lead in New GNR, cause he's the coolest dude in the band, and GNR always had a cool Lead Guitarist! He'll surely kick some serious ass.I won't mind Robin if he practiced a lot in the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 He also did the Sweet Child O' Mine solo.If you don't like Robin, you need to get over it, because he IS the replacement for Slash.And IMHO, is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laval Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Honestly, i couldn't care less. As long as AXL shows up.Better yet, AXL should play lead guitar! Maybe he should. After CD drops, he will be percieve as an accomplished artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laval Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Finck is a brilliant and talented musician. You have to be a ignorant prick to not recognize Robin's talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylvesterStallone Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Either you lot are delusional or tonally deaf if you think Finck can replace Slash. Now if you say Dave Navarro or Buckethead, then ok thats a reasonable substitute. But FINCK? That's like saying Phil Anselmo would be a great replacement for Axl Rose. Finck is nowhere near as accomplished Slash, and THAT is a fact. If he could atleast play well, he might be better accepted, but he BUTCHERS the old gnr songs like November Rain, we're not talking "bad", we're talking "horrible".He's also not as gifted of a guitarist as Slash, he doesn't have the same versatility or skill to be able to pull off different sounding solos like Slash. Finck's solos all sound similar. Can he go from a paradise city shred, to a bluesy 14 years solo, to a riffage fest like Coma and then do complicated slide solos like in Breakdown and Locomotive?The day he does that kind of work, then he's fit to replace slash.So yes...gnr needs a third guitarist, Fortus is a great rhythm player, now you need a kickass show-stopping guitarist in the mold of Slash. I wish Dave Navarro would take the job.... Edited April 16, 2006 by SylvesterStallone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaddisonmoore Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yes, yes, Robin sucks, blah, blah, blah. What's funny is the same people saying this will be the very ones screaming "oh god, fuck me robin!!!" at every concert. At least I won't be the only one. i still like him i just think he needed to practice the old stuff more but i like fortus better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
