robin finck's playing and creative qualities

why are some people bashing robin for his guitar playing? i've wittnessed the man live with nin (in vienna); the guy is just tight and got more presence on stage than trent reznor; what i heard on the rir mp3's and the 2002 tour seemed to be just splendid guitar work with lots of feel to it; just listen to "the blues" or the "chinese democracy" solo; or the "sweet child o' mine" solo on the "big daddy"-soundtrack, which is nothing but outstanding; not to speak from the leaks in 2006 (f.e.: "better")...
i think that robin has got such an unique sound and a very soulfull way of playing that is different from ANYTHING i know; just because he plays the old gnr stuff a bit different, doesn't mean he plays "wrong", as some of you have assumed...
if you have an example where robin really does not live up to the high gnr-fans expectations, please post the link and prove me and my robin arguments wrong...
ps: the only thing i'm not sure of, is robins quality as a songwriter or suplier of cool riffs; would be interesting to know how much he's involved in the writing process, how creative he is. but i guess we'll know soon.

I don't love the guy and wouldn't care if Axl got rid of him. He has never impressed me like Tommy Stinson,Brain, or Buckethead did during the 2001-2002 shows. Maybe this time it will be different....

I guess this was discussed many times...
I like Robin and his style more then Slash and whatever he did while in GNR. And that is only me. Most of people think Robin is no near Slash and I respect their thoughts. I don't think it matters... What matteres is that in 11 days G&R will hit the stage for the first time in last few years and this time it seems comeback is for real.
That is the greatest gift to any G&R / Axl fan. Who plays and why? I dont care.

Everything that I've heard from Robin while in GN'R sucks,maybe it was because he didn't know how to play the Guns stuff that good,I dunno,maybe he'll be better this time if he's in the band now

I'll wait until I hear Chinese Democracy before I fully judge his value.. but I never have been that impressed with him.
I especially didn't like it when he used the same guitar as slash and made some of the same motions as Slash when he'd play Slash's solos (and fuck them up most the time.) I think he even hopped on the piano to do the November Rain one which was dumb in my opinion too.
I'm also not one of those people who worship the old band and won't give new members a chance, I love Brain, Stinson, and Buckethead. At least Buckethead would make the solos his own by tinkering with them.

Robin made a few errors during the 2002 tour... but all guitar player could make mistakes during a tour... but some assholes pretend to crucifige Robin on those mistakes... because they don't want to see how the guy is a fine player with a lot of feeling on stage.
Finck's the coolest.

i said it numerous times allready and i`m kind of tired to say it again and again
i love that guy and he`s my favourite guitar player.... the solos he wrote to the new gnr songs are simply amazing imo and his stage presence is awesome as well. i`m pretty sure that he was the main part in the writing of the new songs (with axl of course...).
his webmaster confirmed that he played an essential part in writing the blues for example.... i guess we should wait for the new record to judge on him though...
i love his style, the work i heard and his stage moves

Finck is the man. Even though he may not be the most technically skilled player, he makes up for it in style and creativity. He shows more emotion that anyone I've ever seen while playing an instrument. When the dust settles, I think his contributions to this era of GNR will have been priceless....

His solo in Better and The Blues are nothing but amazing. He did an awesome job too in Fright Train and Love Siege, both from Ghosts Of Mars soundtrack.
I would put why he's my favourite guitarist and how he's is the best out there, but I already did too many times in another Robin thread.

His studio work seems to be phenomonal but his live playing seems to be suspect at times.

Robin finck is a fuckin joke. he is one of the worst guitarist I have ever heard. ?I don't know what the hell Axl is thinking keeping this fool around. ?I never thought i would say this but nu-GNR's best live guitarist is richard fortus. ?Buckethead was lame and so is finck. ?The only people that like this douche bag are the nutswingers in this freakin "cult" message board. ?The objective rock n' roll fan knows this guy fuckin sucks. ?How can someone say that Finck has been better for GNr than Slash? That is rock n' roll blasphemy, ?that's like saying Blink 182 is better than the Stones and Beatles. ? Remove your cock from Axl's balls ?please. ?Damn ?I'm embarrassed to be in this message board right now. I used to think that most of the people here were knowledgeable ?and objective fans ? but I'm beginning it
s nothing more than a cult . ?Let me set things straight for you worshippers ?, the only talent in this band is Axl and stinson. ?Fortus is ? good for touring but I don't think he can write music. ?The only question now is if Axl is good enough to carry a band by himself. ?He's going to have to be awesome ?to make up for the mediocrity in this band. ?This band has absolutely no stage presence, that could hurt them unless vintage Axl comes out blazing and singing in his raspy voice.

It's hard to respect anyone's opinion who says Buckethead is lame.. when he is one of the most talended guitarests of our generation.. which he has proved with tons of his own work. Finck is rather unproved, and misses a lot of notes live at times.. so I can see people knocking him. Brain also is talented as well, you didn't mention him.
