Metallica make offer to tour with Guns N' Roses

[russtcb]

i agree.  my opinion of finck is better now since cd was released.  i was pleasantly surprised cause i hate his live playing - especially his solos. 

you have obviously watched too many live footage from 2000-2002 and not enough 2006.

actually i have seen plenty of 2006 and he still is poopoo live.  everyone should use the restroom and go get a drink while he plays his solos - at least then half the audience wouldn't be sleeping by the end of the solo.

I disagree by 100%. I think Robin is a bad ass on guitar. I'm really hoping to see him with GNR again one day.

I disagree, he is expendable and I would gladly step in and mop the floor with his ass on guitar.  Nice guy?  Sure.  Real rock player?  No way.  Bucket on the other hand, BADASS.  Finck is the only GNR player in the history of GNR that I actually thought I was better than.  HA.

+1

Robin kicks MAJOR ass IMHO- in fact he's probably my all-time favorite Guns N' Roses guitarist. He is a bit of an "acquired taste" though with his dissonant/feedback style- so I can see why some don't immediately gravitate towards him. That said, those same people never seem to be able to explain why Axl and Trent Reznor are SO enamored with Robin though. People may not like his style/sound- but he's obviously not a hack...

[faldor]

While I think GNR could survive without Robin, to say he's not a "real rock player" is laughable and just plain wrong.  I'm no guitar virtuoso by any stretch but I don't think it's just a coincidence that Robin has been a member of 2 of the biggest bands in the past 20 years.  I don't think he's THAT nice a guy.  His talent has to have something to do with it.

you better than Finck?

 

what a fucking joke.   Robin has more talent in his pinky finger than you could ever hope for.

a "real rock player"?  He's way more than that.

Sure you would. Not!!

Robin Finck is a very gifted musician - and a great guitar player.

You can't talk to a legend like that!  Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?

You need to apologize THIS INSTANT.

oh shit, for a moment i thought it was D who was posting about how he is a better musician than Robin

[crow316]

Well...Robin sure aint no Kirk Hammett.

Thankfully not many people are.

See now I find Bucket to be embarrassing. I don't need some clown in a costume doing robot dances and flinging nunchuck's around at a GNR show.

[Smoking Guns]

Guys, no point in arguing this.  Its amazing how we all have CD and all have different ideas on the guitars.  I thought bucket dominated this album. Many of you think Finck was the MVP.  That is fine.  Still doesn't change my opinion that Finck live is very sloppy with often horrible tone.

It's one thing to prefer Buckethead over Robin, but to claim that the guy has no talent is taking it a bit far.  I'm sure Bucket himself would even disagree with you there.

ditto to faldor. why neither axl or trent asked a couple of board members to join their bands is a mystery to us.
and lay off your embarrassment russtcb.

Excuse me?

What do you mean "lay off your embarrassment"? It's my opinion and more importantly it's the truth. I talked several people into seeing GNR in 02 that otherwise would've never considered it. I ended up being completely embarrassed because I had no answers when people were asking me why the guy was doing all that ridiculous shtick.

He has some talent, I will give him that, but I would rather have Fortus or Gilby Clarke playing lead over Finck.

Right, it's my opinion and there's no reason for someone to tell me to "lay off" it. Certainly not you.
