I dunno they looked pretty bad ass back then 
Guns n Roses - We'll let Slash off for his hair (a style that he's still sporting to this very day), but the rest of them can't be forgiven.

A Look Ahead To Future Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Brawls
March 12, 2008 6:05 PMThe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies are the only forum in rock where bitter ex-bandmates are forced to come together publicly. Sometimes they temporarily bury the hatchet and perform one last time (Talking Heads, the Mamas & the Papas, the Velvet Underground), but often the shit hits the fan. Everybody expected last year's Van Halen induction to devolve into a steel cage match, but instead nobody named Van Halen or Roth showed up and the only massacre was Paul Shaeffer's take on "Why Can't This Be Love." Things got pretty uncomfortable in 2005 when former members of Blondie started bitching out Debbie Harry onstage, and in 1993 John Fogerty left his stunned Creedence bandmates at the podium and performed with Bruce Springsteen. John Paul Jones had one of the great Rock Hall lines when he thanked Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for "remembering my phone number." We haven't seen fireworks recently, but here's a look ahead at some potentially wonderfully awkward moments:
Guns N' Roses: Eligible in 2012. Everything else pales in comparison to this one. The original five haven't been together since 1990. Since then Axl slowly fired the entire band, took the name rights and retreated into his lair to work on Chinese Democracy for well over a decade. If you think Axl is nuts now, imagine him five years from now. If he decides to take a break from working on Chinese Democracy for the night and show up at the Waldorf, there's no telling what will happen. I can't wait.

#12 Geffen pumps millions into (the nonexistent) Chinese Democracy
Ten years ago, Guns N' Roses still looked like a good investment'”they'd gone platinum 32 times. So in 1998, Geffen Records could be forgiven for paying Axl Rose a million bucks to complete GNR's fifth album, promising a million more if he delivered it soon. (Rose had already spent four years working on the LP, losing every original bandmate in the process.) Beset by perfectionism, lack of focus and plain-old nuttiness, Rose never got that bonus million. But his label kept spending: In 2001, monthly expenses totaled $244,000. Four producers and a gazillion guitar overdubs later, the album is no closer to release. And Geffen's in the red for $13 million.
Unintended consequence A frustrated Rose gets into a well-publicized fistfight
with '¦ Tommy Hilfiger!

Do you get tired of people asking you about working with Axl Rose?
Haha, I don't know what to say sometimes, because I was there for a long time. But it's not like you would think, like crazy stuff was going on. It wasn't some crazy situation. I always think people expect a big answer. I had a very strange job which wasn't exactly labeled but I just call it 'pro tools engineer' or 'pro tools editor' or something like that. But it afforded me the learning, I got to learn a lot about making records, and I'd never been in the studio for that long a time. I think I can say that I made a better sounding record than I would've because I worked for Guns N' Roses. I got to be around a lot of people that knew what they were doing and the bar got raised to what I found to be acceptable for music production, form being in there.

#11276 Re: Guns N' Roses » mr robin finck » 973 weeks ago
did Robin never write for Trent?
nope
isn't some of NIN stuff his own creation?
nope...he does appear in 2 videos and on the live album though
or was he always told what to do/play?
i think so yeah
#11277 Re: Guns N' Roses » mr robin finck » 973 weeks ago
btw you can blame that post of mine on Axl ...if the album was out we wouldnt be having this discussion 
seriously though ... he plays Slash's material pretty good ... he plays Jimmy Page's material pretty good ... he plays Trent Reznor's material as well as can be expected...now gimme some Robin Finck material ... thats all i'm asking. I mean he's only been a professional Guitarist in one high profile rockband or another since 1994 
#11278 Re: Guns N' Roses » mr robin finck » 973 weeks ago
no i didnt mean it as a slight against him, its just he's got potential to be a decent guitarist...but how can you judge someone's talent when he doesnt release any origianl material aside from a couple tracks on an obscure soundtrack? My buddy is a great guitarist too, he's memorized a whole shit load of tunes from a whole shitload of bands
anyway back on topic i figured this ledzarial was an old project but the video clips say 2006 and hes definately the "new" robin in the video clips, not the "goth" robin which i expected to see based on an old discussion about this project
also the bass player chick Paz Lenchantin, she was the bass player for A Perfect Circle for their first album...i wonder if she and robin met through Billy Howerdel and Josh Freese 
#11279 Re: The Sunset Strip » The "LOST" thread » 973 weeks ago

#11280 Re: Guns N' Roses » mr robin finck » 973 weeks ago
first time i actually checked this out...its pretty cool if you are into cirque du soliel but again why doesnt robin ever do original material?
