Sweden_Loves_GnR Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I have no problem with this guy, think he looks great and does a great effort to the new gnr.. but why does he have problem with the nr solo? Fortus pulled it out great on the RIR 06 consert but Finck still messes it up.. what do you ppl think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel1304 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) i know what you mean. It might just be something about the solo hes not good at. For instance some solos you have to use different techniques to play so maybe theres a technique to the solo that finck can't play. Or maybe he changes the solo to make it sound like that some guitarists actually make mistakes to add to the solo wierd but hey. Anyway finck fucking rules Edited May 29, 2006 by Axel1304 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway finck fucking rules I have listened to his solo a number of times on NR, and always come away feeling like it is somewhat "screwed up." Honestly, if he would just play it as close to what Slash did, there probably would not be an issue here. He plays Sweet Child very well, especially at the end. In fact, he covers nearly every solo from the original tunes quite well. Night Train, Mr. Brownstone, Live and Let Die, all sound great. rock2 Axl obviously doesn't see a problem with him playing it, so I guess there is not much that can be said other than giving an objective opinion.

RebelRose89 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 if he plays the second solo anywhere close to as he did on the Pittsburg '02 soundboard then its absolutely amazing. It gives me goosebumps when i listen to it each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 because he isn't fucking Slash...Robin Finck plays it how Robin Finck feels like playing it, plain and simple...Agreed.thats right, if he wanted he could play it note by note as slash, cause november rain is an extremely easy song to play, anyone who can play guitar knows this, is not a matter of technique, he just dont wanna do it exaclty the same, so quit comparing slash with finck, he plays a solo that sounds similar to the original, but hes mostly improvising, and by the way.. Slash is gone, I belive finck is a great musician and theres no point in comparing him with slash, is like tring to compare a Bird whit an Apple.. they are two different kind of players. Thx.

The 3 share the solos in NR and other songs as well. So Axl eventually may decide that Fortus or Bumblefoot can do that solo instead of Fink.There is no officially designated lead guitar. When Buckethead was around he was the lead guitar. But now it looks like kinda open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f**k_your_enemy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 We all know Axl is a perectionist right? If he thought it wasn't good enough like most of you guys do, then he wouldn't let Finck play it. So just drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickingthehabit Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Finck is very limited with semi-tones..During his 'rendition' of November Rain, he fails to bend strings to a proper pitch, thus producing overbends and underbends. The result is a squeaky, toneless sound.. 'November Pain', if you will..-Kickingthehabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketslash Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 i like the way he plays it....it's more lyrical than just blues bending...it flows well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it. i think he can fuck it up big time but when he plays it right it is very good (not as good as slash tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Its just slightly different, more distortion than Slash's version. Its still good but I would like to see Ron Thal do ALL of Novemver Rain. His outro at Rock In Rio was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick_top Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Maybe I'm missing something but the second solo of NR is very easy to play, the guy is making his own solo.. If he was so bad that he could not play the solo as slash does it (at least playing the same notes!) there is no way he could be in GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busngabb Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The guy above got it right. He plays it that way on purpose. Are you telling me FInck CAN'T play that solo?Pi$$ off, I probably could. My little brother certainly can and he's 16.You have to remember that Finck doesn't want to play those songs the way Slash wrote and played them. If it were up to the likes of Finck and Fortus, they wouldn't play ANY old GNR songs.They have written more than enough of their own to play for you. Hopefully one day that will happen.

Its not a difficult solo to play. I have limited guitar knowledge and there was a time when I could play it. Finck plays it the way he plays it.and it kicks ass. I prefer he continue to play it the way he plays it. It also pisses off the Slash fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswk Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 You know if I'm going to see "Guns n' Roses" I want to hear the Guns n' Roses songs played the way they were written! I don't want to hear someone's shitty "rendition" of a classic solo.C.W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
