Robin Finck's Birth Card: The King of Clubs

2020 Performers with Nine Inch Nails

Born November 7, 1971

The Master Leader

A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

In the record

Robert John "Robin" Finck (born November 7, 1971) is an American guitarist. The birth-card coordinate for November 7 is the King of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2020 Performers with Nine Inch Nails induction.

Rock Hall record

The King of Clubs coordinate

Robin Finck's birthday maps to the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Robin Finck. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it.

Finck grew up in Marietta, Georgia and played with several unsigned bands based primarily in the Atlanta area, including acts such as Prowess, Bat Your Lashes, Sik Dik (bandmates of which included Steve "Holiday" Childress and Michael Allen, currently of The Goodies and Greg Thum), and The Hookers. He joined Nine Inch Nails as part of their touring band in 1994–95 for their Self-Destruct and Further Down the Spiral tours following the departure of previous guitarist Richard Patrick.

Where the record meets the 2 of Spades

A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Robin Finck, and not a forecast of induction.

Birth card and karma

Life Spread (Mercury → Result / Cosmic Reward)

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.

You hold two pressures at once and still make a call that can live in the world.

He also played on a studio-recorded version of "The Day the World Went Away" on the companion album Still, which was included with the deluxe version of And All That Could Have Been and later made available as a standalone CD through nin.com.

  2. In 1997 Finck signed a two-year contract with Guns N' Roses as the replacement for Slash (who had quit the band at the end of the previous year) and began work on what was ultimately to become the band's long delayed album Chinese Democracy.
  3. When the two years were up the album had not been completed, although the song "Oh My God" was released on the End of Days soundtrack.
  4. Whether or not Finck played on the song is in dispute; GNR vocalist Axl Rose says he did while Finck himself says he did not.
