W. Axl Kev Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Personally I think Finck is an excellent guitarist. I'll admit I never used to like him but his playing and style has grown on me. I take this from live performances/demos etc. He clearly has talent and I think Axl chose the right guitarist. He is much better suited to GNR than Buckethead ever was. He may have been sloppy at times during the 2002 tour but you know that can be a number of things i.e. nerves, being unfamliar with the material etc. I think he did make mistakes though because he closed his eyes when he was playing Anyway I like Finck - Do you?

slashplay Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I like Finck He played like a piece of shit in 2001 and 2002 with that horrible noise his guitar makes. And on the leaked stuff, the best work is by buckethead and by brian may. I'd rather take slash, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake Suitcase Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Totally unproven at the level G'n'R have attained. Doesn't have the ability or charisma of Slash and if he wasn't good enough for Trent why the fuck is he good enough for Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The axllites seem to love him most (not saying you are like), because they bum anything done by the new band. But fincks guitar sounds rele weird. I dunno, maybe he will grow on me.

highend88 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 He is ok at playing guitar but I don't like him on background vocals coz his voice sucks. All he do is just shout, NOT sing. I think Tommy and Dizzy may sound better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschman Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'll second that on the voice... but Slash wasn't much on the vocals either. (Slash's guitar playing is more enjoyable, to me, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcalldp Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I like him. He's not a bad player at all. there are some areas where he was rough around the edges but wasn't the tour to get these guys used to playing these type of venues? I mean in a huge live area like that you're dealing with a totally different way of playing. You can have delay in your monitors, you can not hear yourself or be nervous etc. I think that he has the ptoential and will be able to prove it through the album and future tour. A bit early to say he's great but I like him and think that he may be a fine fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs like, 2 or three basic singing lessons, and needs to learn to carry a note. Until then, Tommy can sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronk Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think he's a good guitarist, but imo he doesn't fit in GnR, like fortus do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 On the topic of Finck's singing. It is pretty dreadful - I don't like when he sings back up at all. Anyone remember Mr. Brownstone from Rio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I do like this new line up and am looking forward to seeing them all over the place once again. But I can't say I'm that big of a Robin fan. In all honesty,I think him and Fortus should switch jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 He's ok.He's not worth the sperm Axls_Disillusion probably ejaculates on him, but he isn't the guitar-noob most others make him to be...His stage-presence grew on me. But hopefully he has a different haircut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromle Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well I like him. He seems like a nice and fun guy. And now with his new haircut. (looks like jesus)I think he will add some new levels to Guns. I think his preformens in the blues showes that he can write great stuff. Some might call it simple. I call it beautiful. Go finck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think he gets way to hard a time from the folks here.No, he's not Jimi Hendrix. But my God, you'd think the guy started playing the damn guitar last week to hear some here go on and on.Here's the rub. I doubt most even know what they are talking about or could articulate why they think he sucks. I think the vast majority who bury him are just bandwagoners trying to look cool.
