Brain not playing in San Francisco / Drum photo

[oneway23]

20 pages of feces and not one definitive answer...what's the deal?

[Neemo]

Since the brain thread was killed because some people couldn't be nice and stay on topic:

Looks like he's filling in on the performance on the 12th.

On the pictures:

Isn't Gersh ALWAYS Brain's drum tech?? Wouldn't a picture of him be almost as good as a picture of Brain in authentication?

Pilferk ask and you shall receive (I posted this in the other thread btw...before it got out of hand).



Dunno if he is "always" brain's drum tech but he's got an impressive list of clients for sure.

Some of Gersh?s clients include Rage Against the Machine, Monster Magnet, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Sugar Ray, P.O.D., Hoobastank, Guns ?n? Roses, Queens of the Stone Age and Dave Grohl. And apparently he plays on VGH too.

20 pages of feces and you started another fece?  The deal is: Don't worry so much. all will be fine, 9 days.

[Neemo]

Looks like he is...yes....the TopRockerz have a fill in drummer for May 12.

[ARC]

well this advertises him as playing



but if they have a replacement....

Yeah, I'd seen the pic.

My point was that: If Gersh is Brain's drum tech  AND it's Gersh in the pic (and not Brain) doesn't it, essentially, mean the same thing?  That Brain is in GnR?  Otherwise, why would his drum tech be setting up his kit for rehersals?

ah i see....well he's not exclusively Brain though....looks like he's employed by bands to be the Tech...so if GnR hires him and Brain leaves....well Gersh still has the obligation to fill. At least that's how i see it

Yeah, that was basically my question:

Is he GnR's drum tech?

Or is he BRAIN'S drum tech?

I don't know the answer...I was hoping someone else might know, definitively.

Now that I've looked over his myspace account, I think you're right...I think GnR.

ARC always here to help.

Brain will be playing with GNR.

THIS is his replacement...

Those who talk, don't know. Those who know, don't talk. 

[pilferk]

Everyone has an answer.

Chris Williams is subbing for Brain in San Fran at the TopRockerz gig.

You've got not only the myspace link, provided by all sorts of posters, but the link directly to his web site and list of performances that I supplied and Neemo quoted above.

Do you need it spelled out?

Brain will be in NYC.? He will be playing with GnR.

Specific and clear enough?

We now have an answer.

Brain, apparently, has a gig in NYC at the Hammerstein with a little? band called Guns n Roses.

So am I correct in assuming Brain won't make your gig on the 12th?? ?Who's gonna be standing in, if that's the case?

Thanks!
