Anybody with any of the bootlegs might want to check out Robin's playing on entire second half of Patience. IMO it's incredible.

I thought he sucked on patience

that's where my whole disappointment with him comes from

Oh, I only saw people mentioning SCOM so I wasn't sure if anyone checked out Patience. I liked it alot so I thought maybe others would.

lol it's all good...everybody has different opinions on the guy....one of the only GnR tunes I know how to play is Patience....and I cringed during that solo...but he fucked it up everytime to my ears sooo, it's obvious he's doing it on purpose i guess.

IMO it's a classic....play like it was written I just hope he impresses me more this time around than he did in 2002.

I have all the bootlegs and Robin does a great job on the songs. He adds his own flair to them, people need to realise that he plays that way on purpose!

Clintron what are you talking about!!!! It ain't him huh? well see if this is robin or not....it looks like him to me

London, ON, 2002 - Robin Patience Solo

For the record.....this is how it's meant to be done....Robin wimps out....he should be picking the notes but he's bending them instead.

St. Louis, 1991 - Slash Patience Solo

After watching them both....you tell me which on "RIPPS" I prefer the Slash way....If you like Robin's way...knock yourself out. I hope the new stuff from robin is killer...but him playing the old stuff didn't cut it for me I'm done in here.

I didn't know Finck butchers solos on purpose. Thanks for the great insider knowledge.

A GNR tour with only Finck and Fortus on guitar will be a butchered AFD rehash tour. These new songs cant be done without BH, and they cant do the old songs either. If Ax hasn't hired BH back, or got someone new, then this tour isn't gonna last long.

^ of course they were played better by slash, he wrote them
and i understand that people would prefer to hear slash but he's out. there's another guy on the guitar and he'll play his way.
if cd was out with finck solos and then slash got back, you think he would try to copy finck's work or play it his way?

Good point. I think that sums it up perfectly.

Then what the hell are you even doing here? Why not go back to your board where everyone bashes the band?

How about you take your own advice? Go back to "your board" where everyone loves Finck and gets banned for liking anyone else.

Just got through listening to Robin's Sweet Child O' Mine solo from the Ontario show. It's awesome. I think he did an amazing job.

Like I said, try Patience as well. Some people don't like it but I think he tears up the middle/end solo and the outro bit as well. If you need an mp3 of it PM me.

I'm watching it on Youtube. It does sound different than the original version. But it doesn't sound like he's messing it up, just seems like he's putting a different twist on it.

Thats what I think. That second solo leading to the intro the the last part is a very cool change. I don't think he's trying to be better or worse than Slash, I just think he's putting his own spin on it.

A nice review about Robin by the New York Times:

It was the group?s principal guitarist, Robin Finck, who made the sweetest and most grounded music of the night, and seemed most comfortable at work. An off-and-on member of the band for nine years now, Mr. Finck assumed most of the lines in the old songs formerly played by the guitarist Slash. But when he improvised, he spun out simple patterns, shaking the guitar?s neck and getting warmth and resonance out of each note or chord; his own unaccompanied solo, just before the concert?s final number, was a beautifully coherent, non-shredding couple of minutes, the best of the less-familiar music played in the show. He gave himself to the crowd, even literally, diving in to the audience three times.

Just like to say that from reading the posts about the show last night that the majority of the Robin "haters" have changed their tune and now think that Robin rocks.
