madison Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Robin is awesome - and I've been saying that from day one. He was amazing in NIN, and I think his talent, energy, charisma and creative spirit are being allowed to shine even brighter in GNR - especially now that Buckethead isn't there. I've always been a fan of his cerebral/innovative spirit - and the creative way he expresses himself in words and pics on his website.Personally, I think Robin stole the show - even outperforming Axl at times during the two Hammerstein gigs so far. He's extremely animated and energetic - and with a cool attitude toward fans, as demonstrated by his three stage dives into the crowd during Friday's show. I think Axl was extremely lucky to get Finck - and keep him in the band through the long delays. No wonder Trent was mad when Robin left. btw, I saw Robin at an after-party after Friday's show, and asked him if he missed NIN, and he said "no." And when I asked what he thought of Trent's (disparaging) remarks toward him when he left NIN, Robin said "not much." .... So Robin, if you're reading this, you've definitely won over the GNR fan base. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashisGOD Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Robin has improved ten fold since his disgraceful 2002 performances, but he is not in Slash's league yet. Until CD and the follow up comes out I can't say he is even near Slash's level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar_legend Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I don't know much about Robin Finck's guitar work, but I have to say,I have been impressed with his freaky stage dance. Did he do it again at the two shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Trent tripping him with the mic cord, and he kept on playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yes, I've accepted Robin now. I hada different opnion about him before these shows, I know, but hey, opinions can change, and for me, they changed to the positive side.Robin is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 at least he doesn't look disgusting anymore....and his playing kinda improved; he doesn't do those annoying brakes between notesanyway, he's ok, I guess...but I'm far from giving up the idea that it would've been better with Buckethead in the band instead of him! very far!am I the only one who doesn't think the Better solo is special in any way?

Bucketslash Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hmm.....then i'll give the song an A nowThis single reason, the power of the collaborative effortthe song itself seemlessly takes bucket's extreme shredding, then takes rythm to the frontal extreme, then buesily winds down with finck, who expertly crafted the song in that wayGENIUSnow can ron thal do it?well i haven't heard the new "amazing boot" to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjakalen Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Finck looks alot better now then in 02! Ficks solo in november rain completely sucks!i think some of the solos in the news songs are very good, but he shouldnt destroy old songs like in November Rain!

F*ck Fear Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Some of you guys are fucked!This is a thread about Robin Finck,not Slash. He shouldn't even be fucking mentioned here.I always looked at Robin as the rythum(sp?) guitar player not lead. Call it shallow or whatever but I didn't think he looked the fucking part. Now he does,and all is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've seen them live right? just wonderingme too, seen live, and he is bad. if by some miracle robin isn't fucking up then his solos are actually LESS interesting! there has been a guitarist problem since slash left, NO RIFFS! not one memorable fucking riff! nothing to play air guitar to, nothing to learn on the real guitar except the leads. bucket and the RFs had soooooooo much time.and now mr. ron thal is here to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
