Welcome back, Mr. Finck. Robin Finck? Robin Finck!!!
"He joined NIN as part of their touring band in 1994-95 for their Self-Destruct and Further Down The Spiral tours. Finck appeared with NIN at Woodstock '94 and saw his first official release with them, the Closure video, come out in 1997. Once the tour was completed, he took a job playing for the circus troupe Cirque du Soleil in the original tour of Quidam. In 1996, he was recruited by Guns N' Roses to replace Slash, who had just quit the band that year, and worked on their still-yet-to-be-released new album, signing a two-year contract. When the two years were up, the album had not been completed, however, one single was released, Oh My God, featured on the End of Days Soundtrack.
Finck rejoined NIN as the band embarked on their Fragility v1.0 and Fragility v2.0 tours. These tours saw the release of another live album/DVD, And All That Could Have Been, Finck's second release with them. Shortly after the tour ended in late 2000, he returned to Guns N' Roses and toured with them in Brazil, Asia, Europe and North America during 2001-2002. In the summer of 2006, Guns N' Roses toured Europe playing in front of over 700,000 people. They finished up by touring North America for the remainder of the year. The following year, Guns N' Roses toured in Mexico, Australia and Japan.
As of April 4th 2008, it has been announced at nin.com that Finck will be rejoining NIN, most likely for touring purposes, and possibly for future records." [wikipedia.org] [robinfinck.com]
Goodbye Aaron North, hello Robin Finck... again. Man erinnere sich zurück, TR-Kommentar zum neuen NIN-Lineup, 23.01.2005: "In retrospect, I believe we were looking for someone to fill Robin's shoes. When Aaron walked through the door, he pissed on Robin's shoes and kicked them out the door where they belong - effectively closing a chapter. A great chapter, but one that is in the past." Wie auch immer. Robin is back, hell yes! Fehlt nur noch der abgemagerte, langhaarige TR in Netzstrumpfhosen... ;-)
