Here Today... Gone To Hell!

OH MY GOD!! Frank is absolutely on fire on all the songs!! Have you seen him in ''Sorry'' at the Seoul concert? He plays tight and with a massive ammount of power! I was doubtful about him playing songs like TWAT, Sorry or Shackler's, but damn it he was THE MAN of the band in all these three tracks!!

I must admit I was hoping Brain to be in this tour, and I also must admit i was actually not happy at all with Frank replacing Brain, but now I must say I am not missing Brain at all and that Frank was for me the biggest of the surprises! I'm actually very happy of how he's playing, with such intensity and power!

Sorry Frank, I was a bit unfair with you in the past, but I change my mind 100%. I needed 2 concerts to do it. YOU FUCKING ROCK

The band is THE BAND rite now, not a bunch of hired guns, all of them are awesome. They will play better and better each gig and surely will destroy South America. Then kick our sorry asses here in Europe.

He sounds incredible! I'm happy that he is the gnr's drummer! : ok:

I've been dying for Frank to get this kind of love from folks. I was sold on the dude after catching them late in 06. HELL YES!

Go THUNDERCHUCKER GO!

I think Frank is better than Brain. And I'm only talking about who's the right guy to be in this band, not about talent or technique (not saying that Frank isn't as good as Brain). I think Brain was better fit when Bucket and Finck were in, but Frank did awesome job in 06-07.. And now with Ashba, Ron and Richard being the guitarists Frank is just perfect. Their styles just kinda click with each other..

For me this is THE lineup after the UYI-lineup. Just great, brilliant.

Frank is a force to be reckoned with.  :)   I was a huge fan of Brain and Bucket, but I think Frank has much more of a presence behind the drums.   Reminds me of a badass rock band.  He pounds those drums hard too. 

Love Frank's drumming

he is the perfect GNR drummer.he has the swing of Adler, the power of Sorum and the technicality of Brain

This band has never sounded better than it does now, and it's only two shows in!

This entire tour is going to be something special, folks!

Agreed esteban. His work on Sorry was brutal. Loved it! ;)

I'm one who Loves Brain Work @ ChiDem

But Frank is proving that he is a GREAT DRUMMER! The weakest song of his drumming (in 2006/7) was November Rain (IMO) and it's okay again.

"Sorry" I couldn't listen to the drums clearly - the video doesn't helps too much, but it APPEARS that he made a good job there.

I'm still waiting for Prostitute, so i can judge properly! But, listening to the last 2 shows videos, i'm more confident that he'll do a great job in that song than i was before the tour starts.

I've always said it. While a lot of people intended to put Brain in an altar, nobody seems to care about Ferrer.

It is cool to see how many people think about Ferrer what I thought in 2007..

Brain couldn't play YCBM - Frank can :peace: he might be worse technically wise, but he's damn energic ;D

its weird how Brain used to get the start of You could be mine wrong. Ive been able to do it since i was 16, and yet im not in his league as a drummer

There is such a nice flow to Franks drumming! He really keeps it together!!

I like Frank, but I loved Brain.

he just played differently... the funny part is that they way he played sounding wrong is harder to play than the real one
lol

Frank is excellent and IMO, a good fit for the band.  However, I am not sure why people seem to think Brain can't play YCBM properly.  He just did it his own way, Brain can play any song imaginable properly.  He is one of the best drummers in the industry.

Thanks for starting this thread. Wanted to to this as well. Frank is really awesome. Really love his drumming now.

Frank The Man Rocks

Besides having AMAZING talent, it seems Frank's the happiest guy on the planet.  Whenever I see a pic or video of him on or off stage, he always has the biggest smile.  You can't help but smile too!!!  :D

I agree Brain is probably my favourite drummer to watch on youtube hes awesome but i think he found the old songs a bit to easy to play because he is more than just a hard rock drummer. For example if you listen to him play Rocket Queen he adds a lot of flash hi hat work similar to Dave Abbrussese style when he was in Pearl Jam. Im starting to think Frank might be a more GnR style, hard hitter and effective

It helps that Fortus and Ferrer have a history together (Love Spit Love, Furs) and Stinson knows how to hold it down.  Everyone loves those mind blowing solos, but give me a band that can hold a groove 1st any day of the week.

Rhythm sections make or brake bands.

Frank Is Excelent Work LIVE... Amazing In ALL Songs In SEOUL & Taipei

GHETTO METAL Rulez

 : ok:

Franks a great, powerful drummer and his enthusiasm is infectious (to be honest I found Brain a little distant from the material). I hope he's with this band for a long, long time.

He fits in this band so perfectly.   Really enjoying his performances in the few clips I've seen thus far.   Hope he is featured more on any future releases.

I appreciate Frank for not beating me up the other day.

 :hihi:


/jarmo

haha, what happened between you and Frank?

I would NEVER mess with Frank. He's always smiling and seems to be very nice, but I imagine one Frank's uppercut can knock out a horse :hihi:

It was just a joke.....

I was wearing a Ferrari shirt. Gotta do it while I can, next year it's too late!  :-\



/jarmo

I Like New Drums In ROCKET QUEEN, Very Power.

Did you hear how Frank beat the shit out the drums in Scraped's intro?

AWESOME.

That was just amazing! Since I first listened to CD I got thinking how they'd pull that intro live, and now I know :D It's way better than I expected.

he's the muthafuckin thundahchuckahhhh!!!!!

Frank's drumming in that 30' Chinese Democracy proshot clip is fucking fantastic.

Bumble's soloing is also incredible. Shame Axl didnt know what the fuck he was singing  :hihi:

Frank is the fucking man.  Amazing drummer, I met him at an NYC club one time, cool guy.

gotta say, when i saw that Brain wasnt touring, i was devastated, but after seeing clips of frank, man its left me saying, "who the fuck is brain?" 


Seriously rocking dude, is Mr Ferrer.


I dont like Scraped at all but the drums he put on intro live were rocking :beer:

Well I think it is fairly safe to assume Brain wont be returning,Though Frank is playing well I personally am gonna be gutted about Brains absence for quite some time.  :(

I don't know much about cars, what did you mean by the above?

I guess it's something about the way you pronounce Frank's surname

Right, I got that. The part I didn't understand was the "next year's too late" thing

This is Kimi, who will NOT be racing for Ferrari next year, wearing that shirt

 :rofl:

Thanks for the break down.

I've been watching the DVD from the Osaka '09 gig during this weekend and I must say I absolutely LOVE Frank's drumming! Seems like a perfect fit for GNR and the guy has an awesome groove. Brain was a great drummer technically, but Frank seems to fit GNR better, since he comes from more of a hard rock backround (his first inspiration was KISS)...

Frank Ferrer Thank you Life...Thank you..

He is great, love sorry. Would REALLY like to hear him on Oh My God! :beer:

Since 2006 I've been saying that Ferrer was the greatest drummer in Guns N' Roses history.

This audio confirms it

If this is the Frank's appreciation thread, this is the Frank's appreciation audio: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=60604.0


THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH TO THE PERSON WHO RECORDED THIS! IT'S AMAZING (I know the intention wasn't to focus on Frank but the non-desired-result for me IT'S AMAZING!)

I think Frank has come a long way since his first GN'R show, which I believe was the one after Paris in 06, which was Graspop.

Frank adds new drum fills here and there, that really compliment any song he is playing. Most recently I have noticed that the You Could Be Mine chorus, sounds alot more heavier, much like the CD version. And that's all down to Frank.

Thank You Ghetto Metal, for being an excellent drummer for GN'R over the last 4 years. And here's to many more years to come.

 :beer:

frank is awesome ive seen him twice he gets just better and better just listen to this years gigs and you will see  8)

Agreed. Frank continues to excel with each and every gig played. He's definitely got his own style which makes his playing all the more enjoyable. I'm really hoping to see alot of his work on the next album.

For having seen Frank five times so far I must admit he is a kick ass drummer... that was actually my first impression in 2006 as well.
I'm also happy to have witnessed his first ever GN'R gig in 2006...

Cheers

Frank Is Fan, member, Power & Heart In GN`R

When I saw GN'R in Toronto, I instantly noticed a change in the drums from previous shows. Frank has improved alot and has improved alot of his fills and patterns.

People must have noticed how heavy the You Could Be Mine, choruses have become. I also like when he goes into Rocket Queen, from a slightly different drum pattern. Then he goes into the intro when the guitars come in, like Rons sliding and Richards chords.

I think his boots, help him to play alot better.  ;D

Frank's upgrading his website.  He has some other pics posted there and a link to buy tickets for his and Richard's band "The Compulsions" January 27th show at the Mercury Lounge (NYC).

BUT THE BEST MOST AMAZING AWESOME PART IS THIS ....

Frank asked if we could talk about his pounding the skins on Paradise City


TELL FRANK...NO ONE ASKED


He's been terrific to watch - proud to have him as part of this group  : ok:

I think I misunderstood what Frank is saying in that FB post.  :-[

I think what he's upgrading is the car or car engine or something car-ish.

But there's still other cool pics n' stuff on his site so you should check it out anyways.  ;D

I remember when the Chinese Democracy single came out and people were amazed by Brain's drumming. Only to find out it was Frank!

Awesome!  ;D





/jarmo

I love Frank. He always smiles. It makes me smile. That is all.

And your post has made me smile, thanks. Top quality post  : ok:

I must admit that I'm first and formost a Brain fan, and I'll always consider him to be my favourite drummer. But in saying that, Frank has come into his own within the last few years. And now he has become much more adapt and an all round better drummer before he joined Guns.

I remember when Frank first started playing shows with GN'R, people commented instantly how he made IRS and YCBM heavier. He is certainly a fan favourite and has become a very valuable member of the GN'R family.  :)

Great drummer and lovely down to earth person. Got to play with him live in 2010 and having already toured with Steven Adler back in 2006 I can quite honestly say I was stunned by Frank's playing in comparison. The backbone of New GNR by far!!!  : ok:

Mr. Frank played with Tool last night. He came out and did a drum off against Danny Carey on Lateralus.

he`s done that before.. he is a friend with Danny Carey. Maybe the best drummer in the world..  : ok:
