==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 Touring Cycle|Self Destruct Tour]]. During this time, Finck was part of a one-off band (which also appeared included [[Twiggy Ramirez]]) called Sick Mutha Fuckers, which was essentially a Twisted Sister cover band that was conceived when White and Finck were playing Twisted Sister songs together for fun during soundchecks. They asked Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snyder to sing with them, he agreed, and the band at played a single show in New York City.[https://deesnyder.com/dee-snider-endeavors/music/smfs][Woodstock '94https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qkb73d/how-marilyn-mansons-twiggy-ramirez-helped-emptiness-embrace-their-inner-goth]] and Finck also appeared 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. There was apparently some animosity between he and Reznor around this time, as Trent discussed in the New Zealand Herald shortly before the release of ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'': "Robin Finck [was] getting paid loads of money to hang out with Axl Rose and his house was getting paid for. You know what, fuck you."
