Re: GNR Myspace Updates
Maybe Robin really is that awesome of an industrial rhythm guy and that bad of a bluesy solo guy, but I don't think so. He plays Better, Street of Dreams, and all his other solos almost perfectly live. I tend to think he intentionally fucks with Slash's solos as a passive aggressive FU to being forced into the role of 'Slash's Replacement' for the 01-02 and 06-07 AFD tours.
He is phenomenal with NIN, even if you don't like NIN you can recognize how much control and power he holds over those songs and that audience. And his mark on Chinese Democracy is strong - he just wasn't into doing note-for-note copies of someone else's work (don't say that's what he does in NIN because NIN live is different from studio, and the players have some freedom). His 'God Given' solo is pretty sweet.
Great post. I don't think he intentionally fucked up solos, he was just playing his style while not trying to copy Slash. His solos on TWAT, Better, exc are fantastic... I think people forget that.
And if anyone thinks that Trent isn't capable of fucking with GNR because he knew Robin was leaving and no one else did, doesn't know Trent very well. He wasn't making those pictures because he's a fan or just for shits and giggles.
Re: GNR Myspace Updates
There's a new video with a unseen concert and other footage on their MySpace with Better playing over it.
It's pretty short, but it's still cool.
Re: GNR Myspace Updates
What part of the page is that on?
It's where you can look at pictures, videos and stuff like that.
If you scroll down you'll see it.
