Broskirose Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) A thread for Robin-specific discussion: Take 2 Edit: It would seem there is some confusion as to the purpose of this thread. This is not a general NIN discussion thread. That can be found in My World. This is for news and discussion particularly relating to Robin. It isn't a thread for people to discuss their favorite tracks off Year Zero. Edited May 21, 2014 by Broskirose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Trent should throw Better in the setlist and Axl should do Somewhat Damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 One year ago today... I am proud to announce that the tour lineup now includes the incredible Robin Finck. The addition of Robin to the mix of players Ive assembled makes this band incredibly powerful and versatile. We are deep in the rehearsal process and it feels exciting and great to be back at this. Lots of information, surprises and sweat headed your way. Stay tuned! TR. https://twitter.com/trent_reznor/status/335425288580255744 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I do have to say, Robin seems to belong more in NIN than GNR. I am grateful for his contributions to CD and the live shows until 2007, but am glad he is somewhere where he seems happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loko Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I've been on Berlin show this week, and have to admit once again, Finck is a beast. Miss him so much in GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viruzzz Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm not a huge NIN follower but am looking forward to seeing them this summer. Which songs did Finck write?I think Rezor writes it all but some particular exceptions.But you'll probably get some of this: Damn, I love those backing vocals from Robin, they remind me the 2001-2002 Mr. Brownstone.

Forsaken Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 *insert Ashba solo* It sounds like one of those vids that have a dubbed terrible guitar over a vid, except in this one, it's just Finck. All of his solo spots were like this. The problem with Finck is that he wasn't a good fit for GN'R when they performed their older material.... he absolutely butchered many of songs. I remember years and years back when countless number of people on the board were calling for his head because he was so terrible. He had no business doing solo spots like this. Album work on CD though? OK. I can live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Unfortunately new material alone, doesn't make a guy worth keeping, especially when that's not what people come to the shows to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of rhythm there instead of him out in the open thrashing away at God knows what. I will say he progressed with solo spots as the years went on though, early on he was really bad to me. He did get better with the band year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnrcoma Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Seen Nine Inch Nails on Sunday night and they were great, Robin Finck is an amazing musician who when you see live you realise what a talent he really is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole NIN industrial image, his cat in the hat sox and pancake makeup... just made GNR a joke...him on the right and and Chicken bucket hockey mask to the left.....plus butchering the the material...just too much of a shocking difference from what GNR was ...but that aside... maybe one song has any kind of relevance "Better" and even then the world wouldnt be robbed if it wasnt created.better and more creative in NIN...I think my biggest comment reserved for Fink as he was heir designate to Slash and then his career while in GNR when no where ...if you didn't kow Robin from NIN chances were you didn't know him from GNR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broskirose Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Two more Instagram pics from NIN. One from last night, the other from 1999. (Robin on the right) His current hairstyle is reminding me of 2002 GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt13 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I don't know... NIN back in the day reminds me of GNR back in the day. Completely out of control. Looks like Trent kinda came out of it better though. I think that's due in part to the subject matter of NIN's songs (which kinda transcends life itself). GNR's music is really all about chicks, drugs and rock n' roll. Kinda hard to pull off once you're a 50 something. But for NIN's music... a lot of it can relate to any time period. Anyway... the video. Pretty crazy. Check out the dude hanging weights from his dick at some point. Don't ask me for the timecode... couldn't keep watching... lol.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQw4SAheduURobin's in there a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wish Robin would come back for another show and guest on Better again. Make it a show where Duff's playing bass, and we can have somewhat of an idea of what the band looked like in 1997. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
