Finck's is fantastic- but also in a studio setting that was likely combed over hundreds (thousands?) of times. Kind of an apples/oranges thing to me. Meanwhile- in the live setting I just generally prefer Dj's flawed but more faithful take to Slash's approach (though I do remember liking Slash's "TIL" solo well enough- which may have changed compared to what's posted- at Dodger Stadium #2).

He had to work extremely hard on those solos to reach and live up to Slash and GNR standards and that's what Robin did. His and Bucket's ballad solos had to be on par with the Nov Rain, Don't Cry, Estranged solos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Slash by a mile for me. Fink's solo is good but Slash creates magic. Ashba bores me to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 For me Fincks solo is the only enjoyable part in this melodrama of a song. I'm not sure of the correct technical phrases people are using, if signature style is the sound that identifys the guitarist as unmistakably being Slash then to me his style doesn't work on this song because it's not delicate enough, by that I mean somehow Finck reminds me of the beauty and romance of a violin solo, whilst Slash's solo reminds me its Slash. Not to detract from Slash who is amazing, but for me it does detract from the only redeemable feature of the song. Shame there is no live version of Finck, just to see how it holds up outside the studio setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nambis Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The solo isn't a Finck composition, it's a cut and paste job by Axl - all CD solos (and everything else) were assembled this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Robin talked about composing his solos, at least some of them in the interview he gave to ultimate guitar. We know at least some solos were copy/pasted, but we don't know which ones. Bumble came up with the solo for shackler's and the tapping part in the outro, he talked about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Cavalerra Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Slash already made great rendition of TWAT, but in this one until he settle to one version and really refine it, i'm sorry it's Finck sound more Slash than Slash itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song to me proves that Slash is a great guitar player, but he will always play like Slash and will never be able to step outside his sound/tone/phrasing. Which is not bad, it's his craft, his own recognizable sound, but it kinda shows his lack of adaptability and versatility. No way. You can say that about Angus, perry and hammet not Slash. Estranged, nov rain, serial killer, Anastasia, SCOM, Slither sound nothing alike. Neither do the bluesier ones like jungle & brownstone.

Shame there is no live version of Finck, just to see how it holds up outside the studio setting. Nov rain solo is proof Slash can compose a solo that suits a song to perfection. It's like he's playing a violin to use your very solid analogy. im sure Finck's live take would come off exactly as it is on the record. Just listen to The Blues and Better live. Only he can properly replicate his patented bends & feel Edited March 19, 2017 by Top-Hatted One 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom2112 Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 Look I love Slash. He is probably the reason I picked up a guitar. I love his playing to this day and have kept fairly up to date with his material in and out of Guns. However there are solos that are just so well constructed that changing them is just madness, and 'This I Love' is an example of that! What he does is fine, and it has come on leaps and bounds since his first attempts... I've actually quite enjoyed a few of them. Now, I'm not a Robin fan. I wasn't a fan of his when he was in the (live) band, I absolutely hated what he did to Slash's solos... but I loved his guitar work on Chinese. His style is really different to Slash. Robin is more restrained as a blues player, great phrasing and use of double stops and slides... I really can't fault his TIL solo, and the same thing goes for his outro solo in Better. I know most people on here didn't enjoy Chinese and the Chinese band era, and I'm fine with that; but I think it's a tad hypocritical for people to complain night and day when Bumble, Richard or Finck change Slash's or Izzy's classic solos and then not complain when Slash does the same... and yes, we are in the minority but I definitely consider the TIL solo to be a classic, and for that matter the outro Better solo too. Why? they are memorable, great feeling, beautiful note choices, completely complimentary of Axls vocal melodies/rhythms and I could go on. I vote 1 million times Robin, on this particular occasion. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on (Although I am a Robin fan). Robin's solos on TIL and Better are two of the standout moments on CD for me, his playing is simple, tasteful and beautiful on both songs, not noodling. Sometimes less is more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquor & Whores Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) of course Robin (voted for him) 'cos his was the original one and Ashba because he played it close to the Finck's version not Slash - he probably thinks he's too good to play it close to the orginal, and the way he plays it ruins the whole song... because it sounds like a solo taken from a completely different song...

passenger57 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Slash's guitar tone is so ingrained in my mind to Axl's voice, I gotta go with Slash. Tone to me is 50% of the emotion of the guitar, just as important as the notes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Depends. Album - obviously Finck's version hits the spot nicely. In the Dubai gig - Slash blew me away. Would have hated him to loosely follow the album version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
