Stop the Finck bashing

[badintentions]

I know this has been going on for a while now, but it seems to have gotten worse since the supposed quitting of buckethead. Robin Finck is not a bad guitarist. not only is he not bad, he is exceptionally good. it makes me sick to see 50% of the fans of the new band say negative things about him. how can people say that he butcher's slash's solos? just because he doesn't play them exactly how slash does, doesn't mean he can't. he uses his own interpretation of the songs. i love how people will bash the new gnr as being a cover band, but then get pissed about the new members adding their own things. robin finck is the most valuable member of the new guns n' roses.

Yeah!!!  If you are going to bash Finck get OUT.  Try bashing me you haters.

[Captain P?l]

i agree!! robin rules poor poor guy.

and about him beeing the most important member, maybe, but i think tommy is really important too! and axl is good friends with tommy too...

EDIT: oh, and bashing people you dont even remotley know... that is actualy not just sad, its sick....

[privatereserve]

By the way I was at all the Vegas shows and some more.  I bet more than half of you people bashing him haven't seen or been to one of their shows.  So Step Off on Finck.

[SLCPUNK]

haha. Right, unless you can get up there and give 'em hell (on the guitar). Then shut your cake hole about the guy.

[Captain P?l]

[PeterCoffin]

Hey i hope not to affend anyone....im a huge fan of the new band i think finks awsome..i just dont personally think he would bea good lead guitar player...im sure eh could do it but i rather see someone like brian or traci or ace or toni as there lead guitar player with robin playin some of the solos

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

I just wanted to add to the Finck love.
 

At the Hard Rock gigs I was front and center and when Robin came center to solo... I'll never forget looking up into his face when he played... He touched my heart... tears literally came to my eyes.  He is a beautiful and intense artist and performer.  
Robin is fuckin' cool!  
I really   Robin.

He embraced the fans at Rio with his performance of Sossego and again when he crowd surfed at the Joint.

I suppose 'cool' like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I dont 'typecast' what cool is.

See, I'm not a genius. I can run computer stuff, I can edit the hell out of any media you give me. But if you give me a bunch of stuff that either isn't labelled or doesn't make much sense, almost as if it is out of context, I just can't get ahold of it. Robin Finck's website is like that to me.

I should have said "I don't understand his website." It confuses the living crap out of me.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Here is what i have to say about robin.
HE is a great guitar player, i dont get why people bash him.
Yes you might not  like how he plays hte old gnr songs but it doesnt mean he wont nail the new songs that he wrote.
Listen to him on othe nin live album, the guy is amazing.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Finck is the man. It makes me sick to see all the bashing...

[Falcon]

No Finck bashing here..

I've been a fan of his for years and have always found him to be the most intriguing new member in Axl's band.

Make no mistake, the guy can flat out play as well.

[kockstar99]

Lets all Remeber that Robin was the original guitarist that Axl wanted to replace Slash with... so hes gotta be pretty god damn good..

"Buckethead wasn't cool at all.. very talented but not cool"

I don't think you got the character of buckethead then. Because that statement in itself is the reason why he is what he is.
