Finck's SCOM intro

[russtcb]

Hello everyone,

What is your favorite version of Robin's solo he plays before SCOM? Could you post a link to it (if you can't it's ok, please post your opinion anyway)

I absolutely love that piece. 

I like Germany 2006.

I think those intro solo's from Finck sucks.
The intro's in the old days are really cool, but the solo's that Robin plays are so weak.
His solo in better is verry cool by the way.

again we're taking about the piece/ interlude before scom. Not the scom intro, whick also kickass by robin.

well this doesn't really do justice to the sound, but listen from the 16:40 mark.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

It sounds like something from The Who in the beginning.

[grog mug]

def. likin it.  His licks on TWAT and Better are GOLD as well...some of the best work ever in my opinion.

the solo he did before scom on the 2002 tour...really great...............

Sossego? The best? Jaw-droppingly good? Did we hear the same solo? The sentiment was nice and people dug it, but as a guitar piece it wasn't all that great.

Finck weirds me out a little. I just can't get into his playing on the old stuff, but I know he's not a bad guitarist because his work on the new material (at least the playing that I'm pretty sure of as his on the demos) is really good and interesting. I'm not trying to bash the guy, he just has a very personal style that shines on the material he helped write. I'd take Fortus' playing on the classic GnR tunes over Robin's.

Strange guy, that Robin Finck. Definitely a one in a million kind of guy.

I used to feel this way, but his feeling and sense of style has really grown on me.

I'm not looking to start a war/debate or anything, but I'll say this: his playing from 2006 on that second solo of November Rain is to me, the best that solo has ever been played.

I also think he tears the fuck out of Patience.

I would agree with this. He plays a really nice, lyrical solo on that one.

No, not Sossego. He did a short, melodic intro before SCOM on the 2002 tour. Not rio 2001. I think he made it up....it was about a minute of so, but very beautiful....

[kaasupoltin]

I'm partial, I liked the Finlandia solo from 2006 for obvious reasons.

The jam he's done in North America last year and all over the world this year is very cool.

Gotta second that. I also love that stupid dance he did. But yeah, Finlandia was amazing live and people were really into it in Helsinki. Wonder why I think Deep Purple also did some kind of version of it when they were performing in Helsinki couple of years ago.

Anyway, I love how they have added more intros to the songs. I don't really care what some people think, I like those tunes anyway. But on the other hand, I don't think anything beats Bad Time or Axl's piano jam before November Rain from 1993. And now I turned this into old vs. new, bad bad baaaad.

I know, but Sossego came up earlier in the thread and it was described at 'the best' and 'jaw dropping'. *shrug* I guess when you love an artist you'll call any pile of crap a pot of gold 

I didn't care for the SCOM pre-solos much but they are nice for what they are. I'd rather hear more new material where he really seems to shine.

[russtcb]

I really really like some of the stuff I've heard him do before PC as well.

His licks on TWAT

Anyway, I know that Sossego is the solo he did before SCOM at RIR III, but....what is it? If you understand what I mean.

Its some popular brazilan song... Football theme mabye?

[MeanBone]

i think one of his best moments is that one solo before SCOM on the 2002 tour... bring tears to your eyes... such an awesome melody.

as a guitar player myself, i love robin, i love that jimmy page/hendrix style of his, very raw...

and his work on the new songs is just stellar.

Robin is as well the most fascinating member to see live.

not to start a thread between Slash Vs Robin, but i'd rather see robin play live than slash now-a-days.

Robin is pure magic. and he's the best man to play in guns.

No, just an old Brazilian song from 70's... The original has a funk/soul feel, with some horn section.

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.


Even though this thread is about Finck playing SCOM, I'd like to direct it back to There Was A Time... is there any video of the second time they played this live?

I wanna see who's playing what solo's better. The video I have of Hammerstein is shot poorly enough to where I can't tell.

I've been looking for this for... 1 year, maybe. Wel... even more. I'd love to watch Robin/Ron playing their solos.
