Does it bother anyone else that he does not seem to give a shit if he is in the band or not?  Just seems like he is  there for the paycheck and that is it.  Maybe I am wrong but he doesn't do any interviews or show any emotion that would make me think any diff.  Can we e-mail him and ask him some questions?

You say he doesnt give a shit if he is in the band right?

So why would he give a shit about your emails?

The point of them would be?

Exactly...

Why would you want an interview if you have already come to the conclusion that he doesn't give a shit?
How did you come to this rediculous conclusion anyway?

I hate to say it... but it's the drummer. And GNR has been a rotating circle of drummers for a while. Steven. Matt. Josh. Brain.

Brain does a fine job so whatever, IMO the core of the band is Axl, Dizzy, Tommy, and Robin at this point, and it's cool to see Izzy showing up. Plus Richard is cool... dunno about Bumblefoot cuz I've never seen him live.

Because last year during interviews he said as long as the pay checks are keep coming then he'll be in the band.

At least I assume that is what he is referring to.

Jimmer and Shuffle you both suck. ?I am just interested in what he would have to say. ?I want him to tell us that he does like being in the band. ?Why would this be pointless? ?I'm just wondering what others think about him. ?If he doesn't care why should we care if he is in the band? ?

Who cares if he is only in it for the money, as long as his paid work is good you have nothing to bitch about, so quit whining.

Brain is coveted by a lot of musical acts.. so bitch betta have his money. :hihi:

It was obvious as well that when he made those statements it was tongue-in-cheek. ?

I love you too snowflake.

Brains a private person with a warped and sarcastic sense of humor. ?I would react the same damn way if some people thought I didn't give a shit about my band.

Its not normally the drummers who have the greatest creative input in any case.

He is a professional musician, He is in it for the money, He plays in other bands too, its like a side project to him,I think. So what? He plays very well and practices the songs. Who cares if he gets a GNR tatoo on his ass.

Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear and shall not understand, and another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware, both of that ?more? and of the outsider?s incomprehension.

Brain plays his ass off every time with GN'R.  If he didn't give a shit about the band, it would show up in his performance.  It hasn't, so there's your answer.

I think that is kinda of an "inside" joke.

He said the exact same thing in Lisbon when I met them and he had this funny look on his face...

So, I don't think he really means it.

If he doesn't care, why do you think he's staying?



He's amazing live.

Didn't Tommy state in an interview that Brain (paraphrasing from memory here) pretends to be all thug like he's just in it for the money, but really loves it? He looks like he's having a great time on stage though (from when I saw them in NYC and the boots where he is visible). He's smiling and laughing. He seems to jam well with the band, etc. All signs point to him having a good time being in the band. All except for some comment he made a few years ago.

Do you really give a shit about what he says?
If so, why don't you or other people do some search?
There's a sarch button under your user info.

I gather from the interviews of Tommy, Dizzy and Brain himself that He is one of the core members.

For instance, this is from 04 I think,

Q: One of them being GNR, who seem to be on hiatus again. Would you work with Axl?s crew again?

Brain "If GNR start up again, I?m in. I love doing it and, as crazy as it is, I really miss being all around that. I love being that rock guy when you?re in a band, and its about you and your music. Being a hired gun is a different feeling ? its not your songs, and its all about the artist you?re working for. Which is cool, but with Guns we were doing songs that I was a part of creating. And if the new album ever comes out, there are songs on there that I?ve had a hand in writing."

It's in the news section. thanks to Gypsy.
