Image:Robin Finck.jpg Robin Finck (born November 7, 1971) is a guitarist who has been a member of bands including Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses. He is one of the few artists who has played in two different bands who made VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Nine Inch Nails ranked #43 and Guns N' Roses #9.

Finck grew up in Marietta, Georgia and played with several unsigned bands in the Atlanta area during and after high school. He joined Nine Inch Nails as part of their touring band in 1993. While touring with NIN, Robin had a run with Marilyn Manson, who were their touring partners. Manson said to have given him a blowjob on one occasion. Once the tour was completed, he took a job playing for the circus troupe Cirque du Soleil. In 1997, he joined Guns N' Roses to work on their new album, signing a two-year contract. When the two years were up, the album was still far from completion, and Finck rejoined Nine Inch Nails as the band went on tour again. Shortly after the tour ended in late 2000, he returned to Guns N' Roses and toured with them until 2002.
