Finck doing scom solos (good or bad)

[Slashead]

Its not Robin's fault that the band hasn't released any music. You don't think it frustrates the new guys that they have written 3 albums worth of material and Axl won't let them play it?

Why stay in this band if they are feeling frustrated ?

Slash was great, but that was a long, long time ago.

Slash is still greater than Finck...

In some areas yes, but could you imagine Slash playing Robins parts ie. in NIN?

I believe that they agree with Axl about not releasing the material before the right time.  and it doesn`t depend exclusively on Axl and the rest of the band

When I saw Robin 4 years ago he sucked for the most part..? No idea what he sounds like now... From the sounds of it, the band would be better without him.

EDIT: Maybe they shouldn't even play that song...  VR don't wanna play songs that are too "Axl".  Well SCOM is definately a "Slash" song.

VR isn't GNR, GNR is GNR.  SCOM is definately a "GNR" song.

I'm just saying that the song is carried by Slash's classic riff and solos.. The guitarwork will forever be criticized.  Doesn't Axl have 3 albums of other shit to play?

Ah, but Slash doesn't need to play Robin's parts. That's the point. 

[pollyblue]

robins parts in NIN were mostly written by trent reznor. no solos in there, only power chords.
i'm not a huge robin finck fan, strangely enough i loved him during his NIN period.

[GNVR]

I have never liked Finck as a lead guitarist and he will never reach the same level as Slash.? I've said it time and time again that Finck is better suited for NIN.? In my opinion, they should ditch him and just have Fortus on rhythm guitar and Thal on lead guitar.? I never understood having 3 guitarists, just seems like a waste.? Just goes to show how valuable Slash really was to GNR...

[mrgnrdvd]

terrible

That`s a Slash riff but it became a GNR song due to Axl. For the rest of the band it was a joke riff. The lyrics are quiet special to Axl and it`s probably their most famous song so they enough reasons (and much more important than "finck fucked the solo"  ) to play SCOM VR don?t play song that are too AXL because scott can?t sing them

scom is as much slash as axl, the guitar playing from the mid solo to opening is killer... The intro grabs you instantly..

[NicoRourke]

Its blatantly obvious that Fortus and Thal are easily better guitar players and can cover Slash's solos with ease

I've heard fortus tank on NR too

I think some of you put fortus and finck up there like guitar gods..

Has Slash never missed a note ?

Of course he has, but even whacked out on drugs he could play the songs better than Finck. Plus he (co)wrote them in the first place.

Everyone praises Finck because Better is one of his songs. Well, congrats - its one song. And an average nu-metal one at that.

I almost wept with sheer frustration watching Finck at Hammersmith. Patience, SCOM, and the rest, he just fluffed it. An emotionless hired hand whos just there to throw rubbish shapes. His solos were pathetic too. Aguilera? That tuneless drivel before SCOM. If he played Baa Baa Black Sheep you'd all  saying he was the Ghost of Hendrix resurected.

It mustve been hard for those watching Paradise City at Wembley on the 30th knowing that NOT ONE prope Gunner was on that stage.

Unless Izzy was, then I'll stand corrected.

True. But Axl is in GnR and Slash ain?t  and SCOM is a GnR song. And I can?t imagine SCOM without Axl but we`ve seen SCOM without Slash and even not being as good as with Slash is still good.

i dont know dude... Robin's solo on that song is fucking amazing, the crowd is always very very into it.  Its one of the high points of the show when he stops his lil intro solo and belts out the opening riff.   Finck owns SCOM now, when I saw him play that solo right in front of me at the Hammerstein, I was like, "DUDE!  Why the fuck would anyone want Slash back after seeing this guy!?"

I respect your opinion but i perfer Slash playing SCOM solo. But i don?t want Slash back to play this solos. Finck is good enough to play them and not making me miss Slash  . And his solos on the new songs are amazing

I went to both the Hammersmith and Donnington gigs and I don't enjoy seeing or hearing this band playing this song. This is the only song i feel like this, I love seeing and hearing all the other 'classic' songs and enjoy the 'new' songs even more. I see GN' R 87-94 and GN' R post 94 as seperate bands, but bands that I both love. I don't like hearing/seeing SCOM played by the new band because to me, SCOM is Slash's song, more so than any other song in the GN'R back catalogue and I cringe when i see the new band play it. Don't get me wrong, they can play it great and all, but i just can't enjoy. I don't feel like this about any of the other songs, just SCOM. Does anyone else feel like this, or am I just weird?

but if they introduced slash at hammerstein finck could have walked out no one would have even cared plus it would have been played by it's owner..

[mikegiuliana]

this would be a better example to me why I think he has trouble playing it, more the mid solo then the intro on here.. it just sounds really off,  on and off
