star Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 ..what's the main image of anyway? i can make out part of a guitar.Robin Finck used to have a website with stuff going on. Then that vanished to be replaced by an image. After some years I just Google'd it, and spotted there's a slight update that offer's contact details, and links to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Not the greatest update in the world.http://robinfinck.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Seems like more or less a placeholder. Maybe if someday he does a solo project it'll liven up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 If there is one thing Robin learned from the gnr days, it's being private and recluse like Axl. Think he does the same, goes out places the media ain't hanging or like they won't even reconize him i guess. Still a cool relaxt guy. Met him in Holland a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met him in Holland a few years ago The media isn't hanging around trying to get pictures of Finck. Outside of these boards and maybe some hardcore NIN fans,nobody would know who he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillBailey Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I met him backstage a few times on the 2006 tour, he's actually pretty cool. I remember he told us a story about how he couldn't get in at the MSG 2002 because he had lots of clothes on (there was a snow storm back then), and the security guards didn't recognize him and he forgot his pass. He finally managed to get in not long before the show.I liked what he brought to the band in 2006 on tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I liked what he brought to the band in 2006 on tour!What did he even bring to the band in 2006 than growing his hair and beard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillBailey Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Thank you, yes for me he brought a lot of energy, attitude and I liked his stage presence, more in 2006 than in 2002. I attended shows on both tours and could really tell the difference, he was probably more comfortable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 For one thing, he didn't look like a little kid trying to get dad's approval on stage, so the band felt much more like an actual band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw did any one of you bought his stuff from GNR when he put them on Ebay after he left the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 He's awesome. I always liked him. Hobo-looking or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's fucking awesome, he brought a lot to the band in terms of sound, compositions and stage presence.The guy doesn't fake it, he's not a douchebag posseur trying to be cool, he just has "it", he's not trying to be anyone else but himself.Of course he's not the blues player Slash is, he's got his own style and I sure miss having him in GNR. Also, NIN feels incomplete without him.He did record a lot of stuff for GNR, he said he recorded some really nice stuff which is somewhere, most prob. in the vault, if Axl plans to release an album soon, there would be stuff from Fink also and as for NIN, yeah it is incomplete without him, when he rejoined NIN and they played some songs, I guess it was from the AOL sessions or something, i was like yeah HE IS BACK.

Also, NIN feels incomplete without him.He seems like a legit weirdo. Bucket is a dude who, I think, works at building a mythology of weirdness around himself. Robin just seems like a weird dude who legitimately doesn't care about how he's perceived. Robin feels far more natural. Compare his image to that of Bucket's. One is a guy doing whatever he wants with no cares. The other has spent as much time building a character and story around himself as he has playing music. One is a true free spirit. The other is a slave to the image he created specifically to avoid such a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I wish he'd spend more time on his craft.And yet, he's known as the weird guy with the chicken bucket on his head, not the guy who releases 400 albums in a year. Which was the opposite of his intention starting the Buckethead alter ego. People focus on his looks and the mythology of his weirdness more than his music.

His music isn't obscure because he wears a KFC bucket; it's obscure because he makes instrumental guitar music and no one gives a shit about that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
