Robin Finck

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I'm glad Robin did so well.  He's been razzed so much by the fans for fudging solos.  He had a blast and it's great that the fans are embracing him.  Even the NY Times gave him a good review!   THAT"s when you know you did well!  Cheers Robin!  You now deserve the title of Gunner!

[mikegiuliana]

garry I'll never call him a gunner, but I will be the first to say he played great

[CAFC Nick]

Will someone with some HALF-DECENT recording equipment and not a drunk jackarse trying to sing-along next to them, please record the next show for some audio boots so I can prep myself for Paris! ?

clarity. the renewal of my mind in the midst of fear and sorrow. to re-boot. to begin again from a space of gratitude and blessed assurance. to live in integrity with the Divine. which means to me, to live not in competition with another, nor by superstition, but to act upon my deepest desires and to become greater than my previous self, moment by conscious moment. to choose love over fear. and to move forward from this space. and to remember and to embody all of this every time the shit hits the fan.

Robin, there are those of us on this planet who get what you said. ?I'm one of them.



Exist in the higher frequencies while traveling through the turmoil of darkness.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

Robin is now DEFINETLY an important piece of the lineup,just like slash was in the day.i think robin will be a big success in GNR!

ROCK ON

[Neemo]

well I listened to some of the boots from last night....

Robin played Patience the same as he did in 2002....Not a fan of it but looks like that version is here to stay so I'll deal with it

Whover played the blues solo laid a big fat elephat turd note in the middle of it....I think that's robin's solo

also the chinese democracy intro....sounded like they fucked it up....doesn't robin do that too?

but hey me listening to a crappy boot is nothing compared to the energy of being there in person

just a couple views i had from what i heard

Apparently Robin ripped it up on Better which is cool and TWAT sounded fantastic on the boot...I really hope they make it my way in the fall

[zakas80]

Wow, what a awesome show last night! ?Great chemistry between the band as a whole, everybody seemed to be having a good time and they sounded very tight as well. ?Robin though, was fuckin amazing! ?Not enough could be said about his performance last night, mind blowing solos, awesome stage prescence, and yes during "November Rain" when the pyrothechnics came down Robin pulled Tommy out of the way at the last second saving him from getting hurt! ?What a guy! ?Didn't even recognize him at 1st with his new look ( looked like George Harrison circa 1971) ?But man did he play a mean guitar last night, made me and most other people forget that there even was ever a guy named Slash in GnR! Glad people enjoyed his performance and him and the rest of the guys are only gonna get better as the tour rolls along! ?

i always said robin is the man..... and i`m glad all the people who were skeptical or even hated him appreciate him now as well.....   i think it`s mostly about the look anyways.... buckethead could?ve written scom and paradise city and people would`ve still complained about the bucket and mask...

i said robin was my favourite guitar player before this show.... and i`m more than happy, he didn`t dissapoint me

[Axl8302]

now that we have a new player i imagine everyone will just pick on him and leave the 'old school' alone!!

[LaTeRaLuS]

yea robin kicked serious ass last nite, he's improved a great deal. After this tour and the album i think he's gona become a lot more well known!

[Jim Bob]

Robin is the greatest    My personal favorite guitarist    I'm glad to see he shined last night!  And for some reason I had a feeling Better was his song!

i know! i cant believe he wrote that song! absolutely brilliant 

[journey]

I think it is very significant that Robin has spoken today.

In what way?

The world's not changing because a guy in drag is writing metaphors on the internet.

He's not a guy in drag. Why don't you show some respect. If it weren't for that "guy in drag" we wouldn't have "Better" to listen to.

I didn't read all the replies, but I wanted to say that Robin was awesome, not only musically, but personally too.  There were 2 wheelchairs near me up front.  I guess Robin was impressed by them being on the floor.  At one point, he dove in to the crowd, guitar and all to hug the woman in the wheelchair.  That was just increadible.

Then he crowd surfed during the encore lol.  The second time he went RIGHT over me and TheRaven.  I think Robin was having a religious experiance lol Either that or he was drunk.

[Jessica]

robin seems to be where he should be.

He has more love than 1 could give, he has love from thousands.

I think it might have been both! 

[LaTeRaLuS]

has anyone else noticed that since the show, theres been more talk about robin than any other gnr member (axl included).

Just what the guy deserves 

[Continental Drift]

I've only seen a few NIN video boots, but I've seen most of the GN'R boots with Robin, and I think for sure last night was Robin's BEST live performance EVER.

He just seemed so confident out there... not like "Oh my God... I'm replacing Slash"- It was more of a "Fuck you. I'm Robin Finck and I've been busting my balls working on this shit for nine years... and oh by the way.... I wrote "Better"..... so suck on that!" I fucking loved it.
