Robin Finck is a guitarist thats been around for quite some time. Hes not that old though. He used to played for Nine Inch Nails with Trent Reznor. Then he left the band to play with a couple of other bands. After he left NIN in '96, he played with French Canadian circus trouple Cirque du Soleil. Then he dumped that, and played for Impotent Sea Snakes. Then after this, he became involmed with Axl Rose. He helped him get on his feet once again.
Finck joined Axl Rose in the studio in mid-1997, replacing Slash, who left Guns N' Roses in 1996. As the first musician to step up to the plate when Axl Rose was revamping his entire band, Finck was a bit of an anchor point for the new group to form. But now, things don seem that good again coz he apparently has quit the band (05/2002).
