Robin Finck

[One.In.A.Million]

That was rather depressing to watch

I think it's something fun and entertaining to watch, for fans of Robin.

It's not done in a serious way, it's just something casual and on the spot. Robins just basically improvising a groove, and playing around with effects. Robin likes doing things like this, it reminds me of the LedZArial project he did.

I'm just happy to see him playing again, believe me I wasn't watching anyone else in those vidoes, just Robin. 

[Wooody]

I think its depressing because we miss him.

Well, that's more like the Robin we love:

Yes, I love those, I think they demonstrate Robins sound perfectly. 

On a different note, I've always been interested by this photo.



I think everyone who knows Robin, is aware he is very spiritual. But it's interesting to see he was reading this book, and he seems to hold it in a high regard. I might purchase this book myself to see the kind of things Robin was interested in reading about.

Also, this was the same time period where Robin changed his look to a more, spiritual look (2006/2007). So I wonder if Robin has always been this spiritual?, and I wonder if he still is today?.

Jesus Christ at that video. WTF was that!!!!!!!!

damn, he quit GNR to end up doing this shit?

[Voodoochild]

No.

I dunno, but he may have let it go kinda when he went back to NIN? I mean, by the end of the Japanese tour and the begining of 2008, he changed his look drastically again.

If you are interested in the book that Robin is holding I recommend getting The Infinite Way by the same author before attempting Living Between Two Worlds, as the former serves a more appropriate introduction.

And his look doesn't mean as much regarding his spiritual state, as long as his pendant is still around his neck.

WHERE'S THE ICE CREAM MAN?!!!

Hilarious.

seriously, everyone knows im not a Robin fan, but even i don't want to see him doing this... and people shit on Slash for doing Ellen or playing with Fergie

[gnrjanus]

Robin is such a great guy...

just look what he became.







Some might not like the changes and say he's a poser for doing it...
like the NIN - gnr goth look. the 2006 gnr Rock look. and now the nin whatever look again.
I don't mind.

Robin is a unique guy who can do many things... and I like his passion for the things he loves.

[Voodoochild]

For sure. It's such a pitty how a lot judge him by his look...

Excuse me, but being a media whore and playing with whoever makes buzz doesn't really compare to doing something low profile (and not promoting himself) like Robin did.

[jarmo]

He changed his look. Big fucking deal.

Not everybody wants to go through life wearing the same clothes or hair style...

Some like to change, some don't.

I was more interested in whether Robin has always been as spiritual as he seemed in 2006/2007 dispite of his look. If I was to have a go at answering my own question, I would say he has. If his tweets, and photos are anything to go by, I would say he still is very much.

And to the poster saying " why did he leave GN'R for this ", I have to say get real. Robin obviously had his own reasons for doing what he did, and no one can judge him for doing so.

In the video at the Museum, he is obviously doing something really low key. Even more low key than the LedZArial project he did with his wife, something on the spot, that takes a few minutes to organise.

To compare that with Slash, who would do just about anything for media exposure, is rediculous.

Please keep Slash out of this thread, it's says Robin Finck in the title for a reason.

What are you guys smoking? Like Robin could get media exposure if he wanted to. Like the media even knows who Robin is or could care less. You guys make it sound like the press is banging on his doors.
The only person who shuns the attention given him is Axl Rose. Nobody else has that sort of power.

Exactly. And wasnt me (or OneInAMillion or any true Robin fan) who brought Slash to this topic.

Funny how people get here just to throw shit at Robin at the very first opportunity, but when I posted good videos with him they were totally ignored by those people. Wonder if it falls in the description of trolling...

Thanks. Look it up.

No need for that. He does it well to himself in that video. Really, you guys shouldn't comment about songs put out by other ex-GN'R guitarists or even
the current GN'R Robin replacement, because the bar Robin sets these days is really low.

Those songs are from 2001 or earlier and you post them every time something about Robin comes up. 
The "Ghost Of Mars" thing is a little old now, don't you think?

What's next, your usual link to "Sossego"?

[Voodoochild]

I posted his solo spots in 2006 before. Anyways, what's your point in trying to start shit here?

Go troll somewhere else with your Robin bashing and attempts to stir shit up.

[Genesis]

Tsk tsk. Someone posted a link, I commented on it. Why are you getting all bent out of shape? If people like the 'Ice cream Man' song, that's fine by me too.
