Robin Finck

[kaasupoltin]

And how many times have we already discussed about this My opinion is, that Robin plays now much better than he did in 2002-tour. But I still think that he sucks I just can't get his solos.. note after note after note in a random order. Fortus kicks this guys ass 100-0..

Besides, he wrote better.

Izzy wrote a bunch of good songs too, but that didn't entitle him to play lead guitar. If anything, this band should be following the Izzy model and relegate Robin to an almost strictly rythm role, leaving the lead guitar parts to the more talented players.

Being creative in the studio should not take precedent over Richard and Bumble's superior playing ability in relation to Robin.

You gotta admit though that Robin's solo in the Blues is really good.

Yes, love that solo. Very Slash-esque. Slash couldn't have done a better job.

Too true man. That's what makes people mad, is that the new guys are better than the old.

The old is something to respect, but the new is something to support.

[BLS-Pride]

He's good but he isn't great.

[Mobenrad]

He's good but he isn't great.

....Nah, he's great.

[BLS-Pride]

He's good but he isn't great.

....Nah, he's great.

Compared to other guitarists? Nope.

[warrocks]

he's great coz he's unique 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

If anyone claims robin sucks just point them to his twat solo

[Pocket Roses]

He dances while he plays guitar.  What more could you want.

[KIKO2K6]

Robin rocks , i like the guittar job on TWAT and Better .

[kaasupoltin]

Sounds fucking lame I don't think that being "unique" makes you a great guitarist if you're not a great guitar PLAYER..

[Naupis]

And then have them listen to the longer version with Bucket and have them decide which is better. Simple fact is that the short version of TWAT (Pre-Bucket) is all we are ever going to get out of Robin, good songs that need a superstar like Bucket(now Bumble) to take them to the next level. Robin's playing ability is just too limited to be a legitimate lead guitarist in a band like GNR when you are filling the shoes of a legend. The fact he has been in the band as long as he has, yet Axl has continually brought in new guitarists speaks louder about his limitations than any post on a message board ever could.

[nycangel]

i really love robin, i think hes an amazing guitar player, and hes supported axl and gnr for years, he deserves to stay and be respected as much as any of them do, of course hes no slash, but i happen to really like robin and i love watching him play.

I agree that is a great solo..

The fact that he plays lead on all the leaks and does a wonderful job speaks louder about his abilities than any hater in a message board ever could.

Not when there's such a giant gap in quality between both types of performances (live & studio).

I do agree when people say that he has grown in respect to '02. That being said, I still think he's the weakest guitarist in the line up. No, I'm not saying he's shit, I just think the other two (especially BBF) are eons ahead.

-PEACE-

[Jessica]

you put so much pressure on him

Watching him live is actually even better.

What makes people mad is that the new guys can't even play the old stuff well.  How can you possibly label them as better than the originals???  Have you ever heard either band play?

You have also remember the fact, that all the lead parts have to be split between three guitarists. Robin proved his worth, wasn't a fan of the solo piece before sweet child but thats just my preference. He is still one of the best guitarists in the world in my opinion and plays with so much intensity. Bumblefoot impressed me a hell of alot considering he hasnt been with them for that long at all.
