Re: GnR holding audititons for a replacement for Robin?
for this album and this tour, Axl needs Robin and Bucket on guitar...in the end they are the spirit of CD. Tommy, Paul, Goose, Dizzy, and Axl are the foundation, but Robin and Bucket really have the most influence....both on stage and off.
Agree completely.
I've always maintained that Robin and Bucket, despite everything, compliment each other perfectly.

A hack on guitar compliments one of the most talented players out there? How so? Do you mean if you combine the two, they average out to an average guitarist? I'll give you that I guess.
Yes, Robin is all over CD. CD was also a giant flop. Add to that many people feel the reason for this flop is less BH on the album and more other guys, and I can't see any way that what you said even remotely makes sense. Robin helped write one of the biggest failures in music history. That will look good on his resume along with all his other (non-existant) writing credits. Give the guy credit for what he did instead of making up accomplishments...he wrote part of a flop and played choppy guitar on the album. I could have done that for 1/10th of what Axl paid him.
Robin and BH complimented each other? Please. CD would have been a better album without Robin.

Re: GnR holding audititons for a replacement for Robin?
I wasn't at all impressed by Robin. I didn't see anything unique with his playing that an amateur at the local bar couldn't pull off. Plus, the dude looked like a freak of nature in his Gnr early days. To be quite honest, I wouldnt have a problem with Bumblewhatever or the other guys following in his footsteps. If nothing else, Axl should bring Izzy and Duff back onboard. Bring back some of that GNR sound and quality that wasn't there on Chinese Democracy.

I hate to say this but I agree with you. Robin completely massacred Catcher in the Rye. And his playing in general on that record was subpar. Robin's playing has always been very sloppy at best. So take away his sloppy parts and yeah I can see CD being way better.

I could be wrong, but I think Ron is the one fucking it all up like a soup sandwich. You fell in the same trap I did. I called out Bucket for a crap solo only to find out it was Ron. If the solo is fucked, chances are Ron touched it.
