Robin Finck

[w.axl.rose]

robin always seemed like he was REALLY feeling what he played

That's one of the things I LOVED about Robin. Other people looked at his movements as "dumb dances" etc. But I always looked at it as an expression of what he was feeling.

Thats why i love robin

Anyone who hasn't should track down video of his blues solo before SCoM from the December 20, 2006 show.

As we are nearing the South American tour, it feels like the band has come full circle since the new lineup rocked Rio De Janeiro in 2001. The band will be returning to the place where they were born, the HOB show was before this but many people consider the Rio show to be where it all started, again.

I wanted to post this video of Robin playing Sossego. This is the only time Robin has ever sang during his solo spot, he also greets the crowd in Portuguese.

I also want to thank Robin for all the work he has put into GN'R, in the studio and live. And wish him the best in his future endeavours.

Here here...

Love it.

I  may actually have to apologize to Finck fans

When I hear TIL solo on CD, I use to hate it.. now its ok........

when i hear DJ play it live though, I actually really like it..........


I think i just don't like Robin's sloppy kind of style

for me, I always feel like he tries to do more than his ability allows, so instead of just playing something straight, he tries to get too fancy and ends up tripping all over himself.

but those who appreciate that kinda nu metalish mixed with emo mixed with industrial mixed with blues type of sloppy style, i can see where u would get off on it.

Remember, anything about Robin has been strictly my taste and nothing personally against him.

[Finckism]

I think that the better scom solo i've ever heard was played by Robin on RIR 2001.

I really love the man.

[AxlsMainMan]

Yeah, he tore the solo a new asshole there.

[D]

another problem i always had with Robin

just way too inconsistent. I agree at moments I even thought he was damn good.. I loved Rock In Rio 3

but the other night my GF was listening to YT and she was watching NR

I had no idea where this was from.. could've been 92  2006 2010

all i know is, i heard the absolute worst NR solo ever..... and i instantly knew it was 2006

sometimes he nailed stuff but too many times he just completely butchered stuff.

[CheapJon]

worst NR solo ever u say? your gf was watching the grammys

[w.axl.rose]

eL Oh eL

[russtcb]

I love Robin's take on the NR solo. I think that and Patience are superior to the original.

[jacdaniel]

worst NR solo ever u say? your gf was watching the grammys

Could anyone even hear that?  too low in the mix.  Remember Slash probably hadn't played that in 17 years also.
He had time to rehearse for the LAYN show and he nailed everything. 

GNR are rocking a lot more minus Robin.

Couldn't disagree more. I just watched a bootleg again from December 20 2006 and was really reminded how much I miss the guy.

+ we could clearly hear the solo from the grammy's and it really did SUCK,

jacdaniel, i was making a joke with a bit of my and a lot of others opinion in it, if u don't agree, fine, but i don't think u need to debate about how slash had had time to rehearse or not

I remember back in 2004, I didn't have a computer then. I used to write all of the GN'R websites down so I could have a look at them at my friends house. I came across this video of Robin Finck playing the Sweet Child O' Mine solo at Madison Square Garden in New York 2002.

As soon as I watched it I was blown away, I was literally in shock. I loved the Sweet Child solo and thought it was really hard to play. And I had just seen Robin Finck blow it out the damn park, without even looking at his fretboard !!!!!.
From that day on I have been hooked on Robin, just watch the video and experience the magic.

I think everybody has to admit everytime a certain somebody played this solo, he was always looking down at the guitar. And now watch Robin playing the same solo 100x better without even looking at the fretboard.

That's a wonderful video. Thanks for bringing back some memories mate!

Ya know as great as DJ is in the band, this clip makes me miss Robin so much. The guy played the songs so well despite what others may think and was shit on for YEARS by the "fans," yet he still went out there night after night on tour and tore the roof of the place with his energy and performances. I hope someday we can see him join the band again even if its only to guest on a few songs.

[Voodoochild]

His 2002 SCOM solo at MSG was really awesome. Also loved his solo spot on Tokyo 2007, that was fucking beautiful.

Yeah, and its funny how the same people who loved to point out Robin's mistakes are the same who forgive the lots of fuck ups by the new guy.

its funny how a lot of fan's of Slash's playing hated Robin, now a lot of Robin's fans hate/dislike DJ;s playing. 
Wonder were we'll be in another 10 years 

[gnrjanus]

I wonder how he feels about the split.
It's a shame that none of the old members have talked about writing and working with this band and it's members of old past.

Josh didn't talk
Paul didn't talk
Bucket didn't talk
Robin doesn't talk
Brain some small talk(Not meant negative)

why is that..?

I would love to hear some of their art's and how they wrote certain songs for gnr and perhaps future work. and after the end of the nin leg of course

And I wonder what he is up to like today. or any other day since his departure with gnr
