10. Have you got any plans to jam with Axl and the boys anytime soon??

"We are gonna Rock out in '07"


Screenshots of Brains e-mail included.

Great news as far as I'm concerned!  ;D

I was just about to post that. :-\


you can read the thing here as well

Sweet! I dig Frank and all, but looks like things are getting ready to roll!

But what about Frank. I love his drumming and justwarmed up to him :nervous:

Well, the drumming job is Brain's. If he quits, Frank comes back. Frank is around to fill in when needed.

Cool.

But a shout out to Frank for keeping us rocking in 2006.  He's a great drummer and is a very positive influence for GNR. :peace:

I like Frank too.

Indeed - thanks for helping out on the tour Frank!  : ok:

I'm going to miss Frank too.  :yes:

Cheers,
W.R.

Is that interview even real??

I mean the obsession w/ chirs ?:nervous:

I mean we know so little of what he will contribute to the album exactly... A little creepy, so soon

It's a Chris Pitman fansite.

And you have to look into his pasts bands to see his true talent.
ZAUM, Lusk, Replicants, Etc.

He has the most impressive resume out of all GNR members right now.

I think Tommy has a slightly more impressive resume.

Still, Pitman's great.

But this interview is about Brain.

:nervous:

Tommy played with The Replacements since he was in grade school, and also Soul Asylum.
Robin played in Nine Inch Nails.

That's way more impressive, IMO.

IMO Pitman has the second best resume after Tommy.

The Replacements. HELLO?!   :beer:

But you guys are missing the news, Brain will be back in GN'R!  : ok:

Brain coming back is really good news.

There at least seem to be plans to tour this year, which could mean the album is also on the way.

I still say look into his career before guns.
He worked with everyone from Tool to Dr. Dre

Brain, you're a great dad!  Keep up the good work.  This guy is not only super talented, he's got his priorities in order.  I'm glad to hear he's ready to rock out in '07!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :yes:

I say Pitman could be the most sought out artist in GN'R, but when it comes to releases and appearances he takes a back seat to at least Tommy and Brain. Still, he is in my opinion one of the most talented in his genre and I think we'll see his fingerprints all over CD.

From the screenshot it appears that you sent him fan e-mail.

Did he agree to do an interview?


Rockit Queen..... Wonder if it's a Herbie Hancock reference... ;D




/jarmo

yes, first we asked him to check out the site, he thought it was cool, and we asked him to do a 10 questions interview, and he told us to "Hit him up" with the questions. It only took him a few days to respond.

All right.  : ok:




/jarmo

Good to see that Brain is coming back & all that speculation from last year about him Ditching GNR was pure crap.

After all this time, since Brain left, and all those rumours about him getting the boot- and no one bothered to ask him? Instead like a year later, a Chris Pitman fan site finds out. That's funny.

The funny thing is that people would rather make up rumors than listen to what was said all along....

Brain and Frank are both in GN'R.



/jarmo

But if Brain comes back to play with GNR and stays, what happens with Frank?

Anyway, I like them both..... so rock on!

Didn't Brain's name get taken of GNR's myspace or something, and everyone said he quit or got fired.  :rofl:

Back to ordering take away and cleaning toilets? :hihi:

If they've not agreed to split up the shows I guess he goes on indefinite hiatus. Maybe be available for some additional recording.

it would be cool if frank plays on the tracks that he contributed on chinese democracy on tour and then brain plays everything else  :drool:

No, not everyone.



/jarmo

frak doesnt play until next time he's needed?until then,Brain's back :beer:

Well 75% of people on this board. (and well other ones)

It was a very long thread.

This is great news!

I liked Brain a lot.

By the way, his official website lists his name as Bryan with a "Y", and not an "i."  :o I always thought it was "Brian."

I didnt like Frank that much sorry and think brain is much more reckognizable and I like his style a lot more. ?I havent heard anything he's recorded, but live I definitely would choose Brain over Frank. ?Not that Frank is bad, but I find Brain to be more entertaining and thought he sounded better. ?Also Brain fits into this idea that Axl got the best musicians to fill his band, not saying Frank is bad, but Brain is a known personality in the music world.

Oh and Dr. Dre + Tool and whatever other rap groups/ nu rock groups do not add up to The Replacements, you gotta be out your mind. ?If any of you ever saw Robin live you would realize why Trent and NIN fans were so mad when he joined up with Axl. ?Id take Tommy's past above all else, but they do things differently, Chris can go and help a bunch of bands, where as Tommy or Robin have to pretty much join 1 or 2 bands, but still The Replacements are Rock n Roll hall of fame material.

^^ Lusk and Replicants do though.

Replicants' sleft titled covers album is probaly the greatest cover album ever made.
And Lusk was nominated for a Grammy.

And NIN didn't NEED Robin.
Replacements is a great band though.

EMS got a ?: ok: from Jarmo! ?This is best I've felt about our work in a long time.

Jarmo, I'd give you a little "synth" emoticon in return, but I don't see it as an option. ?I'll toast you with a ?:beer: instead.

HTGTH really needs a synth smiley.

Good news to hear Brain is back..You should have asked him about Buckethead.

Jackamo, like this?

(http://209.85.48.8/9898/26/emo/chris.gif)

 ;D

You can still link to other images...

I meant to ask him if he played drums on the South Park theme song.
And we had a buckethead question, but it was too ridiculous (Sp?) to send.

Very good news. My all-time favorite GN'R drummer back in the mix. Brain has been a part of all this for going on 7 years and has certainly earned the right to be around for what should be the real re-emergence this year...

Meanwhile, big shout out to Frank Ferrer. Just like Gilby pretty much saved the final 2/3's of the UYI tour... who knows where the hell GN'R would be w/o Frank... can't imagine another summer's worth of cancellations would have helped the cause all that much.... nor would have forcing a distracted and pissed off Brain to do all the shows been a great idea either... anyway, Frank's still a Gunner and I'm sure he'll never be too too far away should the need arise.... 

Brain should wear that hat from tehe 2002 VMA's more often.

I wish Frank would stay.  I like Brain but Frank seems more into the band and the band seems more into him.  I like the chemistry with Frank.

Nice to hear he'll be involved with GnR in '07. ?One less thing for everyone to get worked up about...

Good Stuff, Glad to hear he will be back with them this year

How could Brain not "be into" the band? He's been around for, what, 7 or more years now, put up with Axl's stuff and played somebody's else's songs on every tour? What do you want the guy to do?

I think it's time to validate EMS as a pretty informative and essential GN'R site instead of censoring it at every forum : ok:

nice work guys, the interview is great, as always

What I can't believe is their is a Chris Pittman obessed fan and that Chris Pittman has a fan site.

I mean I don't mean to slag him, but Chris Pittman?

Well at least this tour he doesn't sway the synths / keyboards that much...

thank you!

and Jimmer Jammer , you haven't heard his work before guns, obviously.
He has quite the resume.

Too funny that EMS broke the news of Brain's return  :hihi:

But glad to read it!
 :beer:

We break everything. ;)

Cool interview good job guys! Glad to read that . :beer:

agh I want Frank permanent!!

Maybe you should trust Axl... Frank and Brain are both part of the "Guns N' Roses Family."

Eat My Silkworms Rulezz!!

Thanks for this interview...

Second that. I like Frank's sound better too..

Same for me too. Welcome back Brain !! Can't wait to see you guys later this year :)

I hope we'll see Frank too.

Thanks for that...Great to know!

Welcome back Brain :)


 thanks Frank for keeping us rocking in06 :yes:

Broke more hits then Google!

And, I don't see why MYGNR is so gungho about saying that (y)our site is;
It's pointless nonsense, aimed at advertising a site that's been set up for the sole purpose of ridiculing and insulting a band member. We don't condone such sites.

Second, there's nothing "new" or "newsworthy" in it. We posted many months ago confirmation from Merck that Brain was still in the band.

But really though, we DO apperciate Pitman. I can't see why we can't post the site there. Next, Slash will be getting cencored (sp - it'is early for me)

it would be frickin awesome if both brain and frank would be onstage at the same time, yeah i mean 2 drum sets


btw, brain forgot to say which color he thought tommy was :o

Good job Jackamo. what is Tommy's color ???
gotta love brain. Happy returns!

BTW no not even 75 percent. Not so many people liked to argue in circle in those threads.
a handful of nervous posters don't speak for everyone of 7800 board members.

right....  75% is quite a number     seven-tenth of a percent comes closer :hihi:

I want him to quit making dumb commments like " as long as they pay me I'll be there".  He doesn't interact w/ the crowd, doesn't talk about GN'R when he's not with them, doesn't look like he is having any fun onstage.  He's doing it because he's getting paid.  That was not just the case with Steven and Matt.  They wanted to be in GN'R. How fun was it to see Frank love being up on stage and giving interviews, pics and getting the crowd to chant GN'R?  I would rather have Frank.  My opinion.  Still going to love the band.

If this is true, having brain back would be fucking awesome : ok:


JDA....brain is a smartass....ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. ::)

But in the end, Brain gave us an interview. ?That was very cool of him to do. ?And he gave the fans some good info on his role in the band. ?

Brain's a better drummer than Frank. Frank slams the drums harder, but that's about it.

And I like his stupid answers....stupid me. :hihi:
Some people are still too clever to get his self -deprecating/-destructive sarcasm. Isn't it shame?

I like his smart ass answers too :D , but sometimes sarcasm is hard to read in posts online :-\

Why should I? I dont want 10 drummers, I just want a good one.

that`s why brain is in the band....

Nobody said anything about ten drummers. ?Just two.

When Axl hires eight more drummers, then we'll address your concerns. ? :beer:

well..... 5 and counting :hihi:

i hope we won`t get a sixth one....

I doubt it.


I disagree. In the past, Jackamo has played "NEW CD INFO!" pranks at another well known forum and then admitted it lower in the thread.

I DO agree with Madison though, as EMS is just a web site that exists for the sole purpose of making fun of Chris.... masked by the illusion of a strange sense of humor. This is all just in my oppinion of course. I'm sure I'll be flamed by a bunch of posters with "Newbie" or Negative Karma's near their name.

Wicked Busy,
ER

You seriously think that screenshot of the email is fake? Do you have any clue at all how hard it would be to photoshop it that well? Brain's email is on his official website. We emailed him asking for a 10 Q's, and he obliged, being a nice person. He gave funny answers cause he "got" the point of our site (not to ridicule Chris at all, btw).

(http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/5647/brainemail1by.jpg)

Anyway, this really shouldn't turn into another EMS bashing/supporting thread. Jarmo recognized that this is real and since it contains information of relevance to GN'R he left this thread open. The interview is obviously real since we have the screenshots to prove it (as we did with the MW interview).

This isn't about EMS, it's about the 10 Q's with Brain. Please stay on topic.

Don't care.


And thank you for fulfilling my Newbie prophecy  :hihi:

So you still think it's fake? You only have 2 posts. I have 11. There you go. :lol:

Honestly though, this isn't a flaming thread. Go start a thread somewhere else to hate on us. Sorry for bringing you relevant news.

I said I doubt it. I didn't say it's fake. And it's not relevant news, as Jarmo himself pointed out in the first page of this thread.

I still stand by this though...



And I don't think this bb should support a web site that exists for the sole purpose of poking fun at a current GN'R member, masked by the illusion of a strange sense of humor.

I recently deleted my account here because I'm really busy and don't have time for people like you. And while we're on the subject, why don't you tell the readers here why you got banned at gnr2k.

Still busy,
ER

I got banned from gnr2k for defending Nirvana.

In any case, let's end this argument right here.

Mandy told me it was because you were saying disrespectful things to her and other posters in the thread.

Agreed.

ER

I jokingly called all of them imbeciles. I'm friends with tbizzle who posted like right before me, so it was obvious I was joking. It's a temporary ban, I can go back tomorrow.

This isn't relevant to this thread. Let's stop talking about me and get back to Brain.

It's real- ER is just mad because I didn't like his movie.

The issue of whether or not I thought it was real, was already cleared up before your post. Therefore you didn't honor the agreement that adnan and I had to drop the issue.

You never even SAID you didn't like my movie, you just wanted to make a snide remark about it. So everything in the quoted post above was not necesary for you to say.

Regardless, since I know a little something about promotion, I'll thank you for brining up my movie and drawing attention to it.... which is all you ended up doing.

ER

dear lord go clutter some other board with your petty squabbles ::)

ah-men to that :hihi:

Don't blame me, I said to stop it.

Guys, stop fighting.  Some of you just need to lighten up. 

I think it's great that Brain answered some questions for EMS. 

The site is obviously meant to be amusing and if it offended Brain I am sure he wouldn't have answered the questions.

frank is just another guy who used to be in gnr!

^ And that sucks. :(

I mean, nothing against Brain, I like the guy and all, but Frank was really good too.

They should have 2 drummers. :hihi:

The offensive aspect of the site has nothing to do with Brain. It has to do with Chris. Read page 4 and 5 of this thread again if you really care.

Chris doesn't even LIKE me, but I'm still lookin' out.

ER

Look, ER, we said we'd quit the argument. I can only speak for myself, but I genuinely admire Chris, having played synths myself for many years. The site's a bit over the top, but it is a fansite, not a site mocking him. That's my final statement and I hope you and I can honor our agreement and stop this argument.

I don't post online any more, here or anywhere else, under any name. I deleted my old "Edward Rose" account here several weeks ago.

And yes adnan, I DID quit the argument. Read every post and you'll see that J****** came back with a snide remark that was completely unecesary. And I made that clear.

You or anyone else will not be able to ellicit any anger or flaming from me. So if everyone else drops it, it'll be dropped.

ER

If the site bothered someone in the GNR camp I am sure they would make it known. ?But I still fail to see what is so offensive about it. ?

No matter how you cut it, the owners of the website are GNR fans and they pay to have that site up. ?Who is anyone else to judge how a fan expresses him or herself?

You are 100% correct. If the GN'R camp has any problem with that site, they will make it known.

And I also have the right to express an oppinion that is shared by other bb administrators.

ER

Yes, but do you have the right to hijack threads and spam? No. You're so busy, so go and do your work. We agreed to quit this, so stop it.

Brain is cool and all but I really like Frank's enthusiasiam.
I said this before.  Frank is a very positive force for GNR :peace:

why doesnt he like you

I'm sure Chris likes him.? Pitman's a really cool guy.? From what I've heard about him and what he posts in our forum, he seems to be a very down to Earth, laid back guy with a good sense of humor.?

As much as I love old GnR, I totally respect Pitman as an artist.? He's worked with Axl, Tool, Dr. Dre.? Those guys aren't idiots.? They know good music.? Pitman's worked on metal, industrial, rap, and experimental electronic music.? He also plays guitar and was in a band that released an awesome collection of rock cover songs (including some Neil Young).? If you listen to the Zaum demos, you can understand why Axl would want to bring a guy like that in to help him develop a new sound for his new songs.?

This is all I'm going to say about it.? I just really dislike people thinking we're making fun of Pitman because we have a sense of humor.? Do you know how much time it takes to do EMS stuff?? Why would any of us dedicate that much of our time to someone we didn't even like?? That'd be psychotic.? The simple fact is Pitman likes EMS.? He said so.? You can read it yourself.? And if Pitman is likes EMS, then why do you think you have the right to be all pissed off on his behalf?

We don't know for sure that was Chris.

How do you guys KNOW Pitman likes EMS?

I mean, has someone asked him about it?

No offense, but I highly doubt those 2 posts on your site were actually Chris.

I'm not saying I'm doubting you, I'm just wandering if he's shared his opinion in person to someone.
\

We don't know for sure that he posted on the site, but we do know that he's been told about the site. If he found it offensive I'm fairly certain we would've heard about it by now.

If I remember correctly, Pitman posted in our site shortly after we made contact with another band member for an interview. ?Or maybe it was when Cherry, one of the members of our forum, met him. ?I can't remember when exactly. ?Plus, the IP address was from somewhere in the SoCal/Los Angeles are, which is where he supposedly lives.

You know we've talked to Bach and Brain. ?There are another couple of other very cool interviews coming up too. ?Why's it so hard to think any one of those people would have told Pitman about the site? ?Admit it, people like Edward Rose just hate Pitman and they're taking it out on EMS.? I got news for you kids... Pitman = Guns N' Roses.? If you don't like it, go listen to VR.

This debate is going no where.

Did anyone hear that Brain is going to be back with the band?   :beer:

I was just wandering if someone actually talked to Chris about the site and got his opinion, since you cant tell who someone is on the internet.

And by the way, I like Pitman, he's a good asset to the band and those Zaum demo's are cool.  : ok:

Cherry (cherry bomb at mygnr) told Chris about the site. If he found it offensive, we would have received a cease and desist from Axl already.

He blushed.

Until we get a cease & desist letter- I don't think we're offending anyone.

Brain set to return in 2007 isn't even really what he said, maybe he's gonna rock out in like a music video, and stay home when they tour.

These EMS guys are clowns.  I wouldnt believe anything you read from them or their site.  I mean theyve all been banned from every other gnr forum and I wouldnt be surprised if they are actually one guy with too much time on his hand playing pranks.  Just look at Mothergooseluvr's posts.  They are hilarious and do not come from someone who is serious.  This is a post from november 15, but i assure you there are funnier ones.

Hmmm.... who am I gonna trust?  Axl Rose, or some downloading motherfucker who Del James says needs to get a life?

Sorry dude, but I'm trust Axl Rose.  The album will come out on one of the next six Tuesdays. 

If it doesn't, then that means Axl and Merck just lied about it to try and drum up a little publicity for Axl's second Chinese Democracy tour.  It would mean that they intentionally lied to their loyal fans to try and grab a little extra cash.

Sorry dude, that don't hold water.  Plenty of huge albums are launched quietly, with no publicity and no official release date.  I can't think of any off the top of my head, but there are tons. 

Your argument = shit.

So you're blaming me for defending Axl's word?  I don't get you.

Hey dude, in case you didn't notice, Axl cleared up all that 13 Tuesdays business.  It was called an open letter from Axl.  Google it.  He said the album's delay was Merck's fault and even said the 13 Tuesdays shit was lame. 

Ok how do you explain this one:

I agree.  People act like "going to the concert" is the only part that matters about going to a concert.  There's the excitement of planning it, buying tickets, taking the road trip, renting a hotel room, the meals while you wait, and eventually, the long drive home.  The concert is just the icing on the cake -- if it happens.  If you peoplel buy a ticket for a concert and EXPECT to see a concert, you're just setting yourself up for failure.  If it happens, GREAT.  If not, just enjoy the long drive home and get on with your life.  Blast AFD the whole way, baby!!!

Or this one:

Jesus fucking Christ on the cross!  When will you guys lighten up.  I can understand some people not liking My World because their ears aren't trained for that kind of music, but it's a really cool original song.  Its the closest old GnR got to having a "Pitman" sound.

I know its a joke, everyone on other forums figured it out and banned you guys, its about the time you guys are exposed on this one as well. Its funny, but whne theres a really scarce amount of info and people want to believe that something is going on, its really easy for you guys to disappoint people.

Do you people realize that fighting with the guys who run EMS is making you just look silly?

What is your point?

Have a freakin' sense of humor.  This board is about a fun time great MUSIC BAND.  Some of you get on a high horse and don't know when to let go already.  It is OK to have a bit of fun people!!!

Wow, you exposed him for making a joke and having a little fun.  A regular Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? ::)

bandita whats your problem.  First you didnt read what i said.  I said it was a joke, i said i thought it was funny.  i said the danger is in letting people down and disappointing them when their fake stuff doesnt come true.  Theres a place for this, but most people come ehre for news not to be lied to.  These guys are funny, but a lot of people DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE JOKING as seen from this board with even Jarmo believing them.  They are just clowns, i wouldnt believe anything they say since theyve posted nonsense on every other board.

EMS is not a joke, and our interviews are seriously real. ;)

Fuck. Don't say they aren't.

Your confusing people. This interview just like previous ones are real, although hard to believe. But still real.


"Its funny, but whne theres a really scarce amount of info and people want to believe that something is going on, its really easy for you guys to disappoint people."
This is an email from Brain himself. We aren't going to disapoint anyone.

Every fucking time we do something great, we have to argue with some dickhead about it being real. EMS is a valid source. Get with it.

WE ARE NOT FUCKING JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We didn't make it up. It's not "fake shit".

Email him and ask him- then shut up.

You at least admit then that every one of your posts other than your "interviews" are jokes though right.  This is my point bandita they dont admit theyre joking.

Wow shit is getting tense around here  :confused:

is this album close or what?!?!  :hihi:

We obviously have different opinions towards Chris Pitman.

You think the praise is not deserved- so you assume it's all a joke.

Go listen to "Estranged".

What does Pitman have to do with Estranged?  :nervous:

what do quotes like this have to do with pitman

?I stop by every record store in a 25 mile radius of my home EVERY SINGLE TUESDAY in hopes of finding it there. ?It's fun, and builds a lot of excitement. ?It'll all be worth it because I know that in one of the next six Tuesdays, I'll find it there. ?Then I'll listen to Sorry on the drive home.

What's your point? So everyone one of our posts have to be about Pitman, and they all have to be 100% serious? Is this like a rule, and your a moderater?

The interviews are real. They happened.

What is my problem? ?I am not the one sitting around harping on the issue. ?It seems to me that you just want to argue and I find it ludicrous that you are claiming to expose something that is painfully obvious to most. ?

I don't know why it is so hard to believe that Brain would answer a set of questions sent by a fan.

Enough!
