Brain not playing in San Francisco / Drum photo

[Markus Asraelius]

Great. All the worry for nothing.

[PJ]

close this... everything is clear as water..

[pilferk]

And already posted, in part, in the Drum Photo Source thread.

Yeah, that was basically my question:

Is he GnR's drum tech?

Or is he BRAIN'S drum tech?

Gersh is specifically Brain's drum tech, not GnR's. Although he is a friend of Tommy's too, so that's not to say that he wouldn't be GnR's if Brain left and they found a replacement, as he has other connections to the band (if you get me). As of that picture, it has been confirmed that it is Brain's drum kit and that he is still in GnR.

It has also been confirmed by various people that he will not be playing in San Francisco on May 12th but in New York with GnR as Pilferk has pointed out.

That's pretty much what I suspected...but I'm glad someone could actually confirm it for sure.

Glad to find out...Great work yet again pilferk

why would his drum tech be setting up his kit for rehersals?

Where do you see that in the pic? I dont see anyone doing anything in concern to a rehearsal. A picture of drums does not prove anything about a rehearsal. If someone finds a pic of a guitar, and some tech guy is standing next to it with no one else around, does that prove rehearsals are taking place?

I think they will use the new gnr logo instead of that one on there drumset.. i dont think this image proves anything..

[jameslofton29]

There isn't anyone at these forums confirming anything. I haven't seen Mysteron post in a while, and he isn't gonna say anything concrete with these shows around the corner, and everything else said by anyone is just pure speculation.

[jimmythegent]

I agree, what does a photo of a drumkit prove exactly??

[speed-stone]

at least after that e-mail we now know brain is still in the band and that the tour is likely to happen
great "news!" (news is what a gnr fan can only hope for)

The pic was attributed to being from rehersals, so that's what I referred to it as.

It's proven (given the "phrase" on it) that it's a recent set up.

It's Brains drum tech in the 2nd pic.

We know the band is currently in rehersals.

I guess there COULD be another reason for Brain's drum tech to set up a GnR drumkit.....and if you'd like to provide some speculative reasoning, go for it.  But no matter what reasoning you provide, it would sorta lead you down the path that Brain is still in GnR....

If you want some sort of proof it's from rehersal, you'd have to ask the person who initially made the claim it was from rehersals.? I'm simply using the terminology that's been established in the thread, and on the subject, so far.

Yup, as of May 4th...he's getting back to work with VR to go through some songs?

Or are you thinking "the band" means GnR?

I think that's a stretch, all things considered.

Any tidbits of information that even remotely suggest a reunion are always stretched to the breaking point...

[Big Gun]

i ment no reunion. it was directed to people (like myself) that might still believe in it.

Gotcha!

Thanks for clearing up what you meant.

If we could only get a pic of his drumsticks we could have mysteron or sp1st confirm all this.

*edit* Sp1at just confirmed that whats in the picture is INDEED a set of drums , who they belong to is unknown right now. More details later.

Saul,, that is just too funny. Haven't seen you post much lately. Good to see you around. Your perfect comedic timing has been missed by many.


Why is a picture of drums supposed to be a pic of rehearsals? What in the pic makes people think that? Maybe there's some picture at these "rehearsals" that I haven't seen yet.

wow .. look what I found on ebay!
