}}'''Robin Finck''' (born November 7, 1971) is from Georgia and is the lead guitarist of [[Nine Inch Nails]]. Finck is one of only a few artists who have played two bands listed on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock:" Nine Inch Nails (#43) and Guns N' Roses (#9).
==Career==
Finck began his career by playing for many local Atlanta bands, such as Prowess (who later changed their name to Bat Your Lashes and then Sik Dik), The Hookers and Heroin (also known as Impotent Sea Snakes {ISS} when in drag). He joined Nine Inch Nails in 1994-95 for the [[Self Destruct Tour]]. Finck also appeared with the band at [[Woodstock '94]] and on 1997's ''[[Closure]].''
Following touring with NIN he took a job playing for Cirque du Soleil and in late 1996 was recruited by Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses to replace Slash. Finck later rejoined NIN as part of the live band for the [[Fragility]] Tour and appears on the accompanying album/DVD, ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]].'' Shortly after the NIN tour ended in late 2000, he returned to GN'R and remained in the line-up for almost 8 years, even turning down an offer to re-join NIN in 2005, but inevitably re-joined again in 2008.
Robin Finck was announced via www.nin.com to again be in Nine Inch Nails on April 4, 2008 after an 8 year stint with GnR.
Finck is a noted bird enthusiast, and his website discusses his fascination with them. Many NIN fans have noted after hearing of his avian fascination that many of his changes to NIN songs during the [[Fragility]] tour stems from his bird-sound-inspired choice of guitar tones and sounds. This is especially notable on the pre-solo section to "[[The Wretched]]" and "[[Just Like You Imagined]]."
