As being reported by most major music news pages, Guns n' Roses put on quite a show at Rock n' Rio 3, a massive, multi-day festival of music held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. One of the many attractions to this huge show was a performance by a reformed Guns n' Roses, as Axl Rose has come out of seclusion. One of three(!) lead guitarists, as you probably know, is Robin Finck, who has performed live with Nine Inch Nails since 1994. During the show, Robin greeted the crowd in Portuguese, followed by a three minute long solo performance of Brazilian Tim Maia's track 'Sossego'. Following that track, the band kicked into Sweet Child o' Mine, with Robin effortlessly tearing through the solos.
Johan Hult was kind enough to send us this picture of Robin on the big screen at RR3 (click on the pic for a full stage view) Keep an eye out for a lot more on the Finckage over at SLS_news, including a nice photo of the man with his latest fashion of hair, and links to a realvideo clip of Sossego. (He passed along these things over ICQ, but we're not gonna steal his story!)
More stories on the Guns n' Roses performance can be found at CDnow's Allstar News and MTV News. Good luck finding Robin pics though ;)
