Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - Gig postponed! Post by: jarmo on June 21, 2006, 09:27:55 AM Press release
Guns N' Babies! Guns N' Roses have been forced to postpone their show in Zurich at the Hallenstadion this evening the 21st of June, 2006. Their drummer Brain aka Bryan Mantia has had to return to San Francisco earlier than scheduled to be with his pregnant wife. The band have been travelling with understudy drummer Frank Ferrer and he will be ready to step in when the tour continues as scheduled on Saturday with their next show at Belgium's Graspop Festival. It is expected that Brain will return to the tour in approximately 2 weeks time. The band had a phenomenal show at Bercy in Paris last night which they consider to be the best of the tour to date. During the exuberant performance guitarist Robin Finck pulled his hamstring but will benefit from the extra day of rest and will be ready for Saturday. The Hallenstadion show in Zurich will now take place on the 1st of July and all tickets are valid. Guns N' Roses apologise to their Swiss fans for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing them in a couple of weeks. /jarmo Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Tomorrows on June 21, 2006, 09:33:06 AM Good on Brain and all : ok: Hes going to soon join ranks with Fortus.
Its funny how they have a drummer on standby for this exact reason yet they still have to postpone a gig when it comes up. Guess it is rather short notice coming between 2 shows spaced within a day. Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: anythinggoes on June 21, 2006, 09:39:00 AM well at least its not cancelled :hihi:
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: jarmo on June 21, 2006, 09:41:29 AM Anybody whining will see their post disappear.
Brain's wife is pregnant. You really need to get a clue if you think that's not a reason to postpone a show. /jarmo Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: gilee7 on June 21, 2006, 09:44:35 AM How the hell did Robin pull his hamstring??? That must've been some intense guitar playing!

Anyone who has lost a baby late in pregnancy knows that nothing is a done deal until the baby is delivered. I hope the best for Brain and his wife and pray that nothing is wrong. :)
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Jonathan on June 21, 2006, 09:54:46 AM They have a fill-in drummer, but he obviously haven't learned all the songs yet, smartass.
And what the hell are you saying? Miss his son or daughters birth because he's on tour with his band? Oh, my God. :confused: Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: the dirt on June 21, 2006, 09:56:15 AM If Brain had to leave early, then there could be a problem so shut the hell up about the show.

I told you, no whining allowed. You don't get that, you just had to post your comments. So if you have a problem about not being able to post your whining here, because the rest of us understand why they postponed, just leave and whine somewhere else. Ok? /jarmo Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Tomorrows on June 21, 2006, 10:03:59 AM Come on jarmo ...don't be like that .... there' s a good reason to whine ... they have an extra drummer and they don't use him.... i would like to see u if u had bought tickets for zurich , took a day off work ... for what ?? a no show ..

If you don't have any understanding, leave this board right now and come back when you do. /jarmo I think Brain is totally doing the right thing by going to his wife's bedside while she gives birth. Hell, even if I were President of the USA I wouldnt give a shit about my job at that stage. It looks like the band did the right thing by anticipating this and getting a temp beforehand. But I guess I feel like the point of having a backup drummer is so that they dont have to postpone shows. Sure its, short notice but isnt an emergency call the whole reason for having a stand-by drummer? ??? Anyway, whatever, they postponed it to a Saturday so most people will still be able to catch it. Hopefully after a rest theyll rock twice as hard. Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - Gig postponed! Post by: Neemo on June 21, 2006, 10:06:15 AM Their drummer Brain aka Bryan Mantia has had to return to San Francisco earlier than scheduled to be with his pregnant wife. Wow...I'm happy for him but i hope everything is ok...."earlier than scheduled" is not something you wanna hear during pregnancies :no: And I agree...a baby is more than enough reason to take a leave of absence...some people need to grow up a bit :rant: Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: axe on June 21, 2006, 10:08:57 AM Frank Ferrer is Fortus' old bandmate from Love Spit Love.

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Jonathan on June 21, 2006, 10:14:36 AM So this is what's happening? Correct me if I'm wrong.
The tour will continue as planned with Graspop this saturday, as I read in the press release and Sweden, Norway and so on will follow, as planned? Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: anythinggoes on June 21, 2006, 10:17:56 AM They have a fill-in drummer, but he obviously haven't learned all the songs yet, smartass. And what the hell are you saying? Miss his son or daughters birth because he's on tour with his band? Oh, my God. :confused: Ehi smartass ... maybe u missed somethin' in REAL life; if u are involved in somethin' related to a big amount of money maybe u would'n t be able to leave what u where doin' at the moment to be back in the states to your pregnant wife ... Never heard about sportsman that , after a success, dedicates it to their "just born" son??They simply can't leave what they were doin .. too money involved I just meant that i see it hard brain's family problem's being the only cause ... think about it well ive thought about it and im happy that GNR have only postponed the show due to Brain's wife having a baby Like Jarmo said please stop your whining the show has been postponed not cancelled the tour is still on BTW was you actually going to the show Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: sic. on June 21, 2006, 10:25:34 AM so is Frank ferrer a famous drummer ? cool stuff !

Safe delivery. @ acciu If you have any problem with this news, start a new thread about whether men should concern themselves about their babies IN THE JUNGLE Section. Read Axl's interview for Rolling Stone april 1992 issue.

Almost any guy on the planet would do the same thing. Plus, Gnr will be back in a couple weeks to make up the performance. I'm sure you guys will get a kick ass show.

They wanted to give him a day or two to PLAY a rehearsal with the band and not just go in cold with out ever playing with the band.

In addition to joining Love Spit Love in the mid-90s, it should also be noted that Frank Ferrer played with Richard Fortus on the 2000 Psychedelic Furs tour. Ferrer was part of the New York band "The Beautiful" in the early 90s. They had a few videos that made MTV. Here's a quote from an interview they did back in 1990: Quote The drummer, Frank, is this total Led Zeppelin, John Bonham freak-that's what he's all about. He used to play in salsa bands, all sorts of stuff. The lead singer of The Beautiful made this tribute page to the band: http://www.jonathanlacey.com/the_beautiful/index.htm Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Neemo on June 21, 2006, 01:42:45 PM HEY I liked the craft..... ;D But I'll be damned if I could ever remember a song from that movie.. you just liked Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman...not the movie :hihi: They are using him.

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: dodger girl on June 21, 2006, 01:49:21 PM I think the reason they had to postpone this show is because they didn't expect Brain to have to leave today, maybe they had a planned period of time where Brain would be abcent and Frank would replace him, but his wife required him earlier than the accorded date, so they weren't ready for tonight without him
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: gnr2006 on June 21, 2006, 01:49:48 PM Frank is an awesome drummer. I saw him perform with Richard in the band pisser, and he is hands down a true professional and an awesome rock drummer. We couldn't be any luckier than to have a guy of his talents step in.
Love Spit Love recorded 2 records, and I'm not sure if Frank was on both of them. The band Pisser was a lot heavier than Love Spit Love, and if i'm not mistaken, I think Frank may also have lent some drums to the band Honky Toast, which fucking rock. Congrats to Brain and I hope all goes well with the delivery. Maybe Brain and Richards kid will be forming Guns N' Roses 2025! Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: chineseblues on June 21, 2006, 01:51:38 PM Frank has recently been playing with the NYC band The Compulsions! The guy is a fucking AMAZING drummer.
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Judge Dredd on June 21, 2006, 01:52:43 PM I hope Brain, his wife and his kid are fine.
I like the bit about the new guy being a Led Zep freak, and I hope he plays a blinder for all the shows that he has to step in for.

They wanted to give him a day or two to PLAY a rehearsal with the band and not just go in cold with out ever playing with the band. If these shows were not back to back, I am sure they would not have push the show back a week. Its only a week, who cares. Fair enough -- I thought that he had been around a little longer in anticipation of Brain needing to branch off at some point for the birth, but that GnR MAY have been caught a bit unprepared (not a crazy assumption, given that the replacement guitarist was hired a couple of weeks before the tour . . . .) But I agree -- a postponement is a minor inconvenience (for some people) and what can you do when life intervenes in unexpected ways? By the way , the first two (and maybe only) Love Spit Love albums were VERY good, especially the single Am I Wrong? from the first album (the radio edit is a bastardized remix, but still ok). The singer of LSL was the singer from the psychedelic furs. I saw LSL, with Richard Fortus (who was tiny in person, but a great performer -- much more glam looking than in GnR), in a tiny club and they were excellent.

I don't want to turn this thread into this, so this will be my only post on the matter, but I saw Bumblefoot live with GNR 3 times, and it doesn't work. If you are going for some nostalgia trip to hear some amateur trying to learn don't cry on stage, then yeah he rocks. But he totally RUINED the last twat solo at night one, and he looks completely lost on stage. I'm willing to give him some time though. Back to this topic, I'm really excited for Brain. But I wonder, if his wife had a due date, and it's been moved up, could that be a medical reason for her? I hope all goes well. Would hate to see something bad happen. Brain seems like such a cool guy, I just hope his kid doesn't see his website with the penises :) Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Evolution on June 21, 2006, 02:04:45 PM Hey I think he looks pretty cool onstage running around with his guitar :)

Bumblefoot, can make party balloons, and Robin can be the clown and perfrom some of the acts he did while being in the circus.

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 21, 2006, 06:35:31 PM Ok, I'll at least try to make this post meaningful.
I was there, in line at 3pm. There were about 3 tourbusses, some of which I'd seen at Novarock (maybe Avenged Sevenfold). Like 15min later, rumors broke out about the gig not taking place, for all shrewd kinds of reasons (Axl not getting enough money, Axl is an asshole, blahblahblah). At some point, I saw said tourbus leave the premises, so I sent our Lord and Master a text asking what the fuck was going on. I was told about the press release and given the advice not smash anything, so I didn't ;) . There was no security, noone from the stadium, noone from the promoter that even put a sign up or told anyone anything, which was kinda bad (that was around 4pm). Keleko and I left shortly thereafter, and Keleko saw signs on the huge electronic ad board in the main train station saying the show wouldn't take place (around 8pm). However, there were fans arriving at the stadium until well after 8pm (Keleko lives right next to it, so he saw it). The biggest newspaper in Switzerland, 20minuten, had the following text on their page: Quote (Translation) (source: http://www.20min.ch/unterhaltung/sounds/story/24788887 )Guns N' Roses: Good News Has Fans Travel in Vain Guns N' Roses Zurich concert of today, 21st of June, is cancelled. Insiders got notified already during the day. Promoter Good News however claimed that the rock show would take place until only a few hours before the concert. Rock giants Guns N' Roses, one of the biggest bands of all times, have cancelled their concert in Zurich's Hallenstadion on Wednesday, June 21st 2006. Already in the course of the day there were lots of rumors about the concert not taking place. Invited guests were via voce warned that the gig was cancelled. Good News however insisted on the realization of the show. 20minuten.ch asked Dano Tamasy of Good News four and a half hours before the show should have started. He said he hadn't heard of any intricacies. "The concert is definitely taking place", he explicitly explained on repeated demand. Because, says Tamasy: "There's nothing true about all these rumors". Half an hour later, the show was officially cancelled. During the time the spokesperson for Good News was denying all problems, they obviously had found the time to fix a new date for the concert. 1st of July will be the date. The promoter claims that the reason for the postponement is that the drummer's wife was pregnant and was having intricacies with birth. The people left behind in all this communication chaos are the fans. Until 4pm they found a message on the Good News web page saying the concert was starting at 19:45 [instead of the original 20:00]. Only shortly after 4pm, the official cancellation was published on the web page. They also have another (interesting?) article about Gn'R: Quote (Translation) (source: http://www.20min.ch/unterhaltung/sounds/story/22703937 )Openair St. Gallen: Without Guns N' Roses Only just 24 hours after giving confirmation, Guns N' Roses pull the plug for their show in Sittertobel. On Tuesday, June 20th, the good news arrived: Guns N' Roses, who should have played their first gig in Switzerland on June 21st in Zurich's Hallenstadion, are ready to take the vacant slot left by Korn at OpenAir St. Gallen. A written confirmation of the band was on hand. Only one day later the disenchantment: Guns N' Roses have bailed out again. The band's management gave as a reason that drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia's wife was pregnant, and that he had to fly to San Francisco to be with her. The concert planned in Hallenstadion is being postponed from Wednesday night to Saturday, July 1st - the date when the band should have rocked Sittertobel. Festival organisators are very disappointed about things went and are working hard on finding a definite replacement for Korn. They are still looking for a worthy replacement for Coheed & Cohimbria, who should have played on Friday. What shall I say, I have been lucky that this happened on a gig that's just 10min from where I live, and I feel awfully sorry for those guys and gals who spent money, time, and employer's goodwill to be here tonight. Hope you all can make it on July 1st :-[ Of course I wish Brain and his family (-to-be?) all the best, and I understand that the show is postponed, given that the bad news must have reached the band themselves on rather short notice, no matter whether they have someone ready to hop in or not . However, I'm far from being happy. Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: LittleFly on June 21, 2006, 07:10:28 PM It does suck that the show had to be cancelled. I wish Brain and his wife the best of luck with the new little one too :) It must be a big thing for him if this is his first child. Having the understudy on tour with them means they were expecting it at some point. I just hope that everything is well for the mom and babe
;D Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: RichardNixon on June 21, 2006, 07:21:31 PM The show has been moved a few weeks, right? Shit happens. Happened when I went to see VH a few years ago and NIN this year. They will make it up to those that had tix.

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Lucs on June 22, 2006, 02:29:21 AM Well, I was at the show, on the press released that was there (written in german) it says that there have been some complications with brain's wife pregnancy. I really hope it'll be ok. :)

Oh, it was pretty funny cause the promoters are "Good News".

Hope you all can make it on July 1st? :-[ Of course I wish Brain and his family (-to-be?) all the best, and I understand that the show is postponed, given that the bad news must have reached the band themselves on rather short notice, no matter whether they have someone ready to hop in or not . However, I'm far from being happy. Must say I feel exactly the same... I'm just back home from Zurich...living in Italy I had to drive 9 hours to get there and ask a day off at my workplace, of course... Since I can't speak german, when I saw that press release in front of the Hallenstadion I had no idea about the reason why the gig had been cancelled... Now that I know, I feel way better and I wish Brain and his wife all the happiness in the world, he had all the reasons to go home... Anyway, I can't deny feeling disappointed for the waste of money, time and energy... I'll try to make it on July 1st cause there's nothing I wouldn't do for GN'R but I'm far from being happy as well? :( Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: mikegiuliana on June 22, 2006, 05:42:27 AM steph that's very big off you to have done all that and still be ok...

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Lucs on June 22, 2006, 06:29:31 AM Hey Tonya I saw you there and tried to say hi to you but I guess you didn't see me as you were "on phone"... see ya on 1st july.
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: dolphin on June 22, 2006, 11:35:19 AM Not to whine or complain....just gonna simply put my 2 cents in this thread.
Brain knew his wife was pregnant and would have to fly home for one of two reasons: 1.) first child and he wanted to be there for her pregnancy which is the RIGHT thing to do 2.) baby came earlier than expected so he had to fly home due to complications or emergency which I really hope everything turns out correctly and his wife delivers just fine. However...there is ALWAYS a but.............. and here it comes. The band have been traveling with an understudy fill in drummer, right? So, when you go and see something on broadway and the main lead person falls ill or whatever the case....and the understudy steps in.....you STILL have your perfomance. Obviously, if the band had been traveling with this Frank person...then in MY opinion...the show should NOT have been canceled. Me thinks there is more to the cancelation then just Brain's wife thingy and they are using that as a scape goat along with Robin pullling his hamstring. Folks, this is GNR with Axl Rose as the lead singer. I'd tend to think there is way more to this cancelation then the press release from Sanctuary. Remember when Sanctuary denied BH quitting the band?? Remember Sanctuary denied Bumblefoot auditioned for GNR??? I honestly feel that band should have gone on with the show considering the circumstances as they admitted they have a fill in drummer so why should Brain leaving to fly home to be with his wife utter a cancelation? I am just looking outside the box. I think there is way more to all of this. And think about my broadway play example where if the lead performer is ill....their understudy fills in at a moments notice. So what is the REAL problem here???? Go ahead and bash me if you want. I could care less. I am just stating MY opinion on things. :peace: Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Origen on June 22, 2006, 11:41:28 AM Quote Obviously, if the band had been traveling with this Frank person...then in MY opinion...the show should NOT have been canceled.

I still say from a business standpoint, the show should have STILL gone on and not have been postponed. I still think that there is more to this than what Sanctuary gave us in press release. Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: GnR-NOW on June 22, 2006, 11:46:08 AM I think the postponed date isnt a big deal at all. ?Brain going to spend time with his wife to see his first child born is kind of a big deal, Finck pulling a hamstring is another reason to take a day off. ?These guys having been playing non-stop for about a month, and have another month of non stop playing, so if they need a few days off thats fine, they deserve it based on the performances they have given.
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: mikegiuliana on June 22, 2006, 11:46:56 AM could be more then meets the eye, I mean what is the back up drummer for but to play when brain isn't, unless he doesn't know the songs or needs practice.. Will it be him or brain playing in a week.. if it's frank then you know he needed practice cohesion with the band, rythm whatever.. If it's brain tehn you know they don't want the fill in..

I went to see Kiss with Poison once and Paul Stanley was ill so they postponed the show. I can understand that because he fronts Kiss. If Axl was ill then postpone it. But they admit they have been traveling with a STAND IN drummer so I still think show should have gone on. Too bad if they are tired.? Cut down on the partying and do your job. If you had to work a month at your job, you'd be expected to so why should GNR be any different? It's the career choice they made. Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: DazRose85 on June 22, 2006, 11:49:09 AM They probably just thought if Robin could do with the extra few days to recover then it would probably be in the best interests of everyone just to postpone! I don't see any great conspiricy here.
Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on June 22, 2006, 11:51:51 AM It's pretty obvious that there was a problem at home, and Brain had to attend to the problem.? Frank wasn't ready, so they postponed a date so they can bring Frank fully up to speed.
Why are there arguments about this?

It seems to me that Frank has been preparing, and perhaps wasn't quite ready. I can't see Frank practicing with the actual group before as I'm sure all of the rehearsals have been done with Brain. Perhaps a date was scheduled with Brain leaving in which Frank would of been given a couple of days reheasal with the actual group. Obviously Brain left early, and Frank needed a couple of days of actual rehearsal.

I guess it's because, according to a few people, it's always Axl's fault. ?::) If Brain isn't there tomorrow, how will you react? You (dolphin) obviously seem to think they'd make this up just because they were tired. I remember your thread about them being tired of touring (after just a few weeks on the road). Why not drop it already? Several people stated that the Paris show was amazing. Pretty good for a tired band don't you think? GNR obviously don't have a good business sense for emergencies. I bet you don't have any idea about GN'R's "business sense". ?: ok: /jarmo Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: dolphin on June 22, 2006, 11:59:31 AM It's pretty obvious that there was a problem at home, and Brain had to attend to the problem.?

Quote It's alot different listening to music in order to get prepared for a concert in front of 15,000 people, and REHEARSING with the actual group.? There are a ton of bands that have had to postpone gigs due to emergencies, even if the particular band had a backup. It's par for the course.

Anyways I don't doubt that the main reason is Brain's baby but if anything, like Robin's injury was mentioned, maybe the whole band also needs a little rest to continue the tour? Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: GnR-NOW on June 22, 2006, 12:13:41 PM its tough to perform the way they do night in and night out.? i thought they booked way too many dates in the beginning, they post poned the show for a few days later not a big deal.? they have a stand in drummer whose apparently been there for awhile knowing this might happen. besides the people should be sort of glad it was postponed, it will allow the new guy to get some time under his belt and should be able to give a better performance.? as long as they pick up where the tour begins again, everything will be fine
and theres still about 20 shows left, so a little break and then going all out for the remaining shows will result in better performances Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: Lucs on June 22, 2006, 01:45:47 PM Yeah I don't know what's the big deal about that...
I can understand people beeing disapointed if they travelled a lot to come to Zurich and cannot come back on 1st July. Brain going back to USA + Robin Finck hurt at Paris, I think it's better to postponed than to play a 1h30 show with a band not in good condition. I'm sure that if they played people would have complained of something else. It seems that everybody just forget when GNR just cancelled some tours without saying anything. Here they explain clearly what happens and apologize and postpone the show. What more do you want ? Come on ! I guess we should lock this topic, it won't bring anything intersting... Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: mikegiuliana on June 22, 2006, 03:25:43 PM I think nobody cares if it's a week later except the people who planned to go or traveled or had to ask for time off to go, now they need that again... Imagine they had postponed a nyc show, so many people would have been screwed with all the traveling people had done, hotels booked and money spent..
I can see both views very easily, no one is going to see the drummer really. plus they have the fill in, who you would think would be practicing being brain knows he might have to leave because of his wife's condition.. Unless she had problems several months early then it's understandable.. it's great the show will happen, but it sucks the people who had plans around their lives have to change plans, not everyone can just take off from work or go back n forth traveling that easily.. I think it might had been better if they postponed until a month or so later so people could save up or bother their bosses again Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: madagas on June 22, 2006, 03:27:37 PM You seem to be able to take off work Mike! 4straight days in NY and 100 Heinekens later! :rofl:

Yes he had TWO WEEKs to practice with the band, the drummer is just asking for TWO DAYS, I think we can give him that. IF the drummer is off he can throw the whole band off, its one thing just adding a guitar player because if he screws up no biggie but if the drummer is off it throws off the whole band. I am sure Brain was supposted to leave in another week but his wife started to give birth early. So they pushed one show back so the new guy can practice with the band for a few days.

Title: Re: Hallenstadion,Z?rich,Switzerland - POSTPONED Post by: pasnow on June 22, 2006, 05:11:36 PM I'd have to say it'd be pretty hard to step in as drummer the day of the show. At least a day or two would help. Although knowing Brain wife was this close maybe they could have prepared for this happening by asking the backup to be ready every day. Still tough to pull off.
As for Bbft, a guitarist can turn the volume down on songs he may not know, and just play some rythym chords. Especially when there are 2 other guitarists!! Can't do that on drums. |
