Finck's SCOM intro

[BlowUpYourVideo]

His licks on TWAT

 

I wonder how many jokes can come from a single song title...?

TONS.... I bet the band has a bunch we've never even thought of.

Possibly, the band playing around with TWAT in the studio caused the delay in the release of CD.




Sorry.

Yes, well, all work and no play does make Jack a dull boy...........

I like his tone there, it sounds Buckethead/Zakk Wylde-ish at times.

It's worth a watch.

usually I don't like Robin Finck's solos, but this one is the better that I have listened Finck's guitar...

[Irish rose]

i agree with the Zakk Wylde comparison

[daviebuckethead]

i agree with the Zakk Wylde comparison

I personally dont see the comparison, zakk plays a lot of single notes alternate picking AT SPEED, robin is doing some legato, and if im honest it sounds quite bluesy rock like a lot of other guitarists...page, gary moore, sykes, *whisper* slash, the iron maiden guys etc etc.

which is not a bad thing. it just sounds nothing like zakk wylde IMO

[CSS]

The tone reminds me of Zakk Wylde.

But there's no rights or wrongs in this case, though.

my fav solo is from la 2006, 12-19-06. it's listed in my favorites document on my pc.

Then listen to the goddamn guitar tone, for Chirst's sake...

It's got a certain Zakk Wylde/Buckethead vibe - and I really dig it.

that's his 2007 solo before Scom.
Yeah I can definitely see where you're coming from but,
just listen to this

I'd say the piece has a strong Zep feel in it.

I'll have to side with you, I guess.

Those are very alike.

Watched it.? Nice ideas.? The wah "tone" is similar to Zakk's.? Not quite enough bite.

He not a very clean player at all.? And frankly, nothing really "cool" about that solo.? The beginning sounds very much like Slash, then some Gary Moore blues stuff, then some wanna be Zakk stuff on wah.? The sad thing is, he does a worse job than all three guys I just listed at doing what they do best.? Slash doesn't have great chops, but it is my opinion, that they are much better than Fink's.? I like Fink's attitude, but he comes off as a wanna be player and not the real deal.? ?Slash, Moore, and Wylde are all certified grade A real deal players.?

Wow, what a ridiculous attempt to complain about the guy.

By your logic, Slash is nothing more than ctrl c + ctrl v from Page, Hendrix and Perry. So, does that make Slash a wanna be the 3 J's?

If you don't like Robin, it's fine and that's up to you. But to back up your opinion with this biased non-sense, I think you missed a great opportunity to be quiet. 

And, BTW, I do not agree with Robin's sound being similar to Zakk - or Slash, or Gary Moore.

[daviebuckethead]

i don't dislike robin, i think he is a an excellent player,

but i i agree with the guys statement here, he is absolutley smoked by some of the other players mentioned here.

if we were comparing fortus to these guys it would be a much fairer comparsion. forus is better than Ron. imo

just tonnes of skill and feel

[Voodoochild]

Yeah, Richard is really good. But he never came up with one single solo from his own as good as any of Robin's solos as far as I know. He has great skills as performer and great feel, but he's yet to prove his habilities as a composer IMO. Yeah, his solo in The Blues is good, but not as Robin's in the same song.

I don't think Axl has put Robin as the main lead guitar for nothing. The most important solos are all handled by Robin Finck and he has done an awesome job.

Voodoo, I like Robin.  I like his stage presance.  But Gary, Slash, and Zakk all do their thing.  He doesn't sound like Zakk, he sounds like a guy, trying to sound like Zakk.  The last wah part is what I am referring too.  His solo goes nowhere.  It doesn't build up.  Like the Godfather or the Solo after Double Talking Jive are both improv, but they are building to something bigger.  Finck is a good player.  He must be a hell of a song writer.  Some may say Slash is a copy of a copy, but he has his own distinctive style and licks.  Name for me some "Robin" styles, trademarks, and licks?  Gary and Zakk have a ton of them.  How many guitar players list those guys as influences?  How many list Finck.  He is a fine player, but brings nothing new at all to the table in terms of playing or tone.
