Title: BRAIN answers me
Post by: PJ on October 21, 2008, 05:24:48 PM
I wrote him like one week ago
make him some questions and these are the answers

Quote
Now that we finally have a realase date, we also have this whole double drummer situation.. how is your status with GNR?.. we will see you again touring with the guys? do you have any contact with them?

I think the album is coming out nov. 23rd. I'd like to do the tour!!! I still talk to tommy, goose, richard and robin.


I've heard the leaks and your work is amazing!.. drums in if the world and prostitute are awesome.. the power of the drums in shacklers is so great!.. Also Sebastian Bach didnt stop talking about you and your work in CD.. in your opinion whats your favorite GNR song to play?

Shacklers and Sorry!!!!

In the past 4 years I've became a big extreme metal fan.. i listen everything  black metal/grindcore/brutal death metal/ghotic/death/doom/etc.. i have like 1500 extreme metal discs, obviuosly i have the godflesh disc you played.. are you fan of any extreme metal band?

Not really. I listen to classical these days


Thanks for reading my letter..
Congrats for your baby!

Thanks for the kind words!!!

Talk to you soon,

Seems like he's a bit out of the loop, but still very much in the band. Sounds positive!  :peace:

Sweet!!! So nice of him to answer : ok:

I really hope he comes back, but GN'R have found themselves a hell of a replacement in Frank if he doesnt.

If he does come back, as happy as that would make me, I would be equally as sad if Frank was left behind.

Brain is THE MAN.

I sure hope he does the tour (sounds like that is still a possibility).  I think his drumming on TWAT is absolutely amazing.

Yeah cool he mentioned "Sorry". Like CheapJon said, I bet it has a sweet beat in it.

Can't wait.

Very cool of Brain to write you back.

Let's hope he's along for the ride moving forward. I like Frank- but it just seems like it should be Brain's gig seeing as he: (1) broke his balls in the studio working on the album for months on end; (2) has been there for all the "seminal events" of new GN'R (Vegas 01, RIR III 01, MSG 02, Hammerstein 06, etc.); and (3) is just a flat out phenomenal drummer- both live and in studio and apparently turns in some amazing efforts on CD.

Seems like he's game from his side (which was always the issue wasn't it?)- so that would seem to bode well.... :beer:

Hopefully Frank can still be involved if Brain ever needs to bail for personal stuff.: ok:

 Baz said sorry was awesome, and now brain saying he loves the drums on it. Sounds like its going to be a killer song  : ok:

Brain seems like a real standup guy and can hit the tubs like no other.

I'm a fan of his and Frank's drumming but jeez, after hearing about the work Brain put in under RTB, he deserves the gig if he wants it

He is definitely a beast on the drums


Title: Re: BRAIN answers me
Post by: younggunner on October 22, 2008, 12:42:32 AM
its ironic that we now finally have the album but we dont have the band that is most responsible for whats on the album.

2002 forever!!!

Far as we know, everyone except Bucket will be on board for the 2009 tour

And if the way Ron beefed up the guitar during the verses on CD, combined with his work on Shackler's is any indication, he's damn sure a big part of the CD sound

If I were Bucket,Brain and insert former band member from the CD era here, Id feel like shit right about now.

The BIg ass, golden opportunity they have missed out on..............

Like leaving the Beatles or something.

Franks a nice guy, but I doubt he can do Brain's drumming justice.  I hope Brain tours with GNR in 09!!!  : ok:


Title: Re: BRAIN answers me
Post by: younggunner on October 22, 2008, 01:00:53 AM
I think Bucket is the one who left. Brain just took a break to help with his baby.

Brain might be Rocks Wally Pip. Except Frank will never become Lou Gehrig

Nothing against Frank but I want Brain.It is a little alarming that we don't know his or Fnck's status right before the release of the album/single.

Frank did an excellent job in 06-07; great playing, good interaction with the crowd, and all in all, a fantastic addition to the Guns family.  Whoever is on drums in 09, rest assured they will be more than capable of playing all your favourite tracks.   : ok:

Unfortunately, it sounds like Brain's drum tracks on the Chinese Democracy track were re-recorded with Frank?  The drums sound more plodding and straightforward than what Brain was doing on the demos, to my ears at least.   Could this be Frank playing?

if I remember correctly, Frank said he recorded on 5 tracks, the title track being one of them.  I could be mistaken.

Post by: veritas55 on October 22, 2008, 12:33:30 PM
Okay, thanks -- I wasn't sure.

The mix on the drums is great and I sure like the big sound --- it's just that Brain's playing and "feel" is a little less straightforward, particularly on the verses.


Title: Re: BRAIN answers me

yeah CD drums are frank..
also if the world now is frank

Sorry must kick some ass - some big wraps on it.


Cant believe TWAT didnt make Brain's list - the last qtr of that song had a great feel/sound and I love playin along on my set to it. Cant wait to hear it finished.


Title: Re: BRAIN answers me

Nice story, good drummer but Frank is much better. For example listen tot YCBM live from '06.

Title: Re: BRAIN answers me
Post by: DuffRock on October 25, 2008, 05:29:00 AM
It's clear that Brain will be on much of the album so there's no need for this Frank vs Brain stuff - Axl clearly has in mind what kind of style he wants on each song and chooses the drummer accordingly.

Off topic: Does anyone else find it cool that Axl has assembled a band composed entirely of the nicest people in rock n' roll?  People like Frank, Brain, Robin, Ron, Richard...      Certainly shows that Axl isn't the impetuous, angry child the media would have people believe!

Bring back Brain!

Post by: Scabbie on October 25, 2008, 07:28:50 AM
If Brain wants to come back I hope he can persuade Bucket to come with him. They obviously both played a big part on Chinese Democracy and I'd like to see them play their tunes
