Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey guys,

I write for http://stereokill.net (http://stereokill.net) and have an upcoming email interview with Frank Ferrer.

So if you fancy taking part - post your questions for the man here, and I'll send the best of them forward.

(previous interviews include members of: Weezer, Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, At the Drive-In/Sparta, The Hold Steady, The Gaslight Anthem, Alkaline Trio, Idlewild, Hundred Reasons, Frank Turner and Arab Strap, amongst others)

that's fucking awesome man.  Going off of everything that Brain said about his drum parts on the record, I guess ask him what the recording of Chinese Democracy was like for him.  I don't really know what else there would be to say besides "when will there be a tour?", etc. etc.

ps - who from the cardinals did you interview?

Cheers, man!


Neal Casal and I have another one coming up with Brad Pemberton.

Ask him about the recording sessions. How was it, the connection between the band members.

If he's gonna be on the next tour.

If he is, ask how it's gonna work the 2 drummers thing.

Ask if they are going to answer our questions. - GNR asked HTGTH to collect some question because the band would do a video answering them. And so far we got nothing.

I'll post more later.

I think the main question is when, where they will tour, and pliz dont take answers like "I dont know", "soon is the word" or "maybe", thank you man, if u can get that info, a lot of fans will thank you, when is the interview?

As I said, man, it'll be an email interview - so it'll be a bit easier for him to dodge such questions, and harder for me to hound him for answers.

I will ask though.

what's his biggest influences?
what does he feel that he brings to the band? (musically)
zeppelin or sabbath? why?
his all time favorite records and favorite records from the last 2 years?
favorite shows and where he's looking forward to play the most in the future?
does he come here often and does he workout?
how was it meeting axl for the first time?
how often does he speak with the members of the band?
any new "old" songs rehearsed?
when did rehearsing start and when will it end?
were you a gnr fan before you joined the band?
favorite song to play live?
what bands would you like to see open for GNR?
has your life changed much since you joined the band?
do know or listen to any swedish bands?
recorded anything for future GNRmusic?

well those were some questions that popped in my mind  :P :hihi: u want more? ;) :smoking:

Any chance for Civil War or Estranged ?

Will TWAT be played regularly?

I know these questions might be a stretch.

Question #1 : Will there be a tour?

Question #2: Will the online shop ever open?

What happened to the "Better" video? 

Are there plans to release and/or shoot videos for any other songs off of Chinese Democracy?

No plans at the moment. Focus on rehearsals and touring.

if there will be two drummers on stage for the upcoming tour of guns n'roses

That would be cool, think of the complex beats possible!

Answers:  Yes - it is 'upcoming', and Yes - it is 'coming soon'  :hihi:

I would love to hear how his recording on CD went...you know drum questions...for the, ahhh, drummer.    :peace:

ur name is Frank Ferrer??...we are posting questions for Frank not for Richard's bitch.

Seems Axl has appointed Frank the job of helping him to stay positive. 

So I'm wondering, just how many times Frank has taken him out back and beat the snot out of him?   ;D

Someone beating the snot out of Axl.... :o, and more than once ::).

Haha... that's funny.



What was your favorite drum part on CD and what's your favorite new song to play live?

Make sure you cover a bit on his old band "The Beautiful" (early early 90s). Saw them a few times back in the day. Great power trio, a la Jane's type of sound (look for the EP and Storybook CD). What's his thoughts on The Beautiful, and those heady NYC scene days, compared to now? Any anecdotes? Is this where he started hooking up with Fortus?

In talking about anecdotes, please share us some funny episode about  ongoing rehearsals.


guess i'm too late but thanks for giving us this opportunity, Thatsummerathome and frank.  :beer:

Why ask that to him?
He won't play any new songs live (it's a shame he'll still play the old songs)

frank is on cd, better, itw, twat and irs. so who knows, maybe we are seeing frank play cd and 2 drummers on stage for those 4 songs.

My guess is they might play every other show each...

I'm not a drummer, but guess is each one has their own drum-setup, and if they're both playing on the same shows, that would require two drumsets on stage.

I'd ask him that because I'd like to know what his favorite drum part he played on CD is.

would be a grand spectacle to my liking.
