someone buy it and let us know what he says

[Tj]

Buy it yourself 

[norway]

thansk it'll be cool 2 read

[Scabbie]

I'm expecting it to have 1 liner on GNR and then a 3 page section on Tom Waits and Primus.

So best read it in the newsagent before buying

[Mutherfunker]

Cheapskate.   

@#$%Funker

Cheapskate.? ?

Yeah, well I understand him. A lot of people aren't interested in Brain because of what he has done, rather because of the band he's playing in.

[PhillyRiot]

I don't think he'll say anything interesting, unless you are a Primus fan.

[Scabbie]

Which takes the piss, because above all he is a MEMBER OF GUNS AND ROSES!!!!!

Its bad enough that you have to wait forever for your fav bands new music to come out, I think its even worse that the members are so restricted from talking about the music, experiences and life in the band. At least if they could do this it would pass the time a bit!

[Butch Français]

Buy it yourself?

hehe, good reply!

Im gonna buy it if I can find it here in Norway somewhere.
I don't think he'll say too much about Primus, since he hasn't been in the band for about 5 years.
he'll probably talk a lot about CCBBB and Tom Waits though, he's probably not allowed to say too much about GN'R so I wouldn't blame him for any lack of GN'R info.

[Scabbie]

OK, I had a quick read of this on my way to work. Some brief comments:

1. Brain loves doing the whole GNR thing and says if it comes out he will have contributed towards it

2. He talks about the difference in playing for Primus and GNR - the main difference being he can't play as freely in GNR, because people expect him to do fills the way that GNR should sound

3. He mentions the word 'hired gun' and at one point it almost sounded like he's no longer in the group

4. If the record does come out, then he thinks it could be GNR's Led Zepplin 2.

I'm sure later I'll be able to get the actual quotes as one of my drummer friends buys this magazine

[Pandora]

Does he really say "if the record comes out"?

[Scabbie]

I will have to confirm that a little later, but I think yes. It sounded like Brain didn't really have a clue what was going on, just that he thought the record was great and loved playing with GNR.

it's sad news. It' seems that it's no more guns and roses. Buckethead is out, Mantia probably is out, Stinson probably is out too, because he doesn't know what's going on.

so pessimistic?

Is the thing online or do you have the mag? It would be really cool if you post it

[Scabbie]

I wouldn't go as far as that. We haven't heard Brain is out, and it doesn't seem like he wants to leave, far from the contrary

I'll post the actual quotes when I get hold of the magazine.

[jellyhead]

Just my two cents but to to be honest i think Brain isn't even fussed if he's the drummer of GNR or not.  To him it's a bit of extended session work which he's happy to work on but to him its nothing more.  I don't think he's particularly proud to be connected with GN'R, it's just a job.

Sorry to be negative but thats the impression i get.

What the f... are you talking about... Brain and Tommy will not leave GNR...

I know its sometimes hard to be a GNR fan, but dont be so negative, for no reason...

[ppbebe]

It?s Easy For some to be a hater who goes into raptures at every tiny bit of negative news. Bless them!

Thanks.
 #4. is one of the best news.       #3. is a worrying bit. Hmm.
Please inform us of the ditails.

one thing: What a cohesive band...
I told you last year, I repeat I told you last year ?that I felt Brain wasn't really in the band anymore , his comments about SCOM and how "boring" it was to play this song and this unfamous " are you still in GN'R? as soon as they pay me!", were absolutely not very diplomatic comments. Some said "come on nesquick Braiin was joking, don't take it too seriously"...No, he wasn't really joking for me guys. He was very serious. I felt it. Nevermind, I've never had a great feeling with that guy playing in GN'R. I don't want to bash him too much because it might also be Axl's fault.
can somebody anwer to this question: Today, in december 2004, What is "Guns n' Roses"? because sincerly, I'm not able to anwer to this question anymore.
