Axl's comment about Brain

[michaelvincent]

I love the 'after the fact' mentality people have about GnR these days where Axl is the saint who did no wrong and the other guys were doing everything possible to undermind him. Like Matt was brought in against Axl's will or something. Sheesh...

Those of you who were actually old enough to be alive when UYI came out were all creaming yourselves when there was a new drummer in GnR, don't try to act like you acted any different you bunch of fairweather fans.

Matt kept gnr going, plain and simple and axl loved him back then and spoke highly of him.. Who cares how he looked.. I thought finck was great but his looks aren't my taste but big deal..

[AxlFink]

bet ya anything sebastian said it when he was at gnr's rehearsal

[badapple81]

Hey Mike.. you can't tell from the boots so I'm keen to hear first hand and find out more about what u were saying about Bach not being that good on My Michelle.. his vocals.. the way he sung it?

[ppbebe]

guess it's a compliment.

Yea Who cares how a talented musician looks.
Both are good but Brains drumming is more supple and groovy, than just powerful IMO. He can do like in any style. 
he's cute n trendy as well.

[Butch Français]

Brain is the shit. He has a more current style than Matt. Matt is good but he still plays like its the early '90's.

I guess, but Matt has adapted well to the times. he's put away all the 80s clich?s and are doing a very just, hard rock drumming these days.

but Brain sure is the shit! my fav drummer

and btw, his YCBM intro on the 12th sounded great!

[blaqktiger]

Ha that was a good comment!

[mikegiuliana]

I've seen both drummers live several times, and matt is a damn good drummer, he is loud too.. Both are really good, it's that simple...

No sence of hating on guys no longer there that helped keep it going...

[Eric]

Both are good drummers-Axl has said a lot of things in the past about members-anyone remember "fuck Izzy Stradlin, here's Gilby Clarke"? I think who,ever is in Axl's band at that time is better than whomever he replaced

[the dirt]

and btw, his YCBM intro on the 12th sounded great!

I fucking hope so. It was played the way it should be played before by Matt 80's style. That's the way it is.

If Brain wrecks it like he did a few years ago I say don't even play the song. Maybe some of you prefer that shit because it sounds "very mid 2000ish"...

[CAFC Nick]

Yeh I heard the intro to YCBM from the May 12th show. It sounded a lot better than Matt played it and it sounded better than the way Brain played it in 2002.

[Crowebar]

"Where was the fuck was this guy when you hired Matt?" said by Sebastian Bach to Axl Rose about Brain

when?

Axl said that right before "you could be mine".  I guess Sebastian said it after rehersing with the band or somthn

Bach said it to Axl on the Eddie Trunk show.

[damnthehaters]

Oh my god!  Everyone relax already.  People on here can take every little comment made by anyone way to literaly.  I think the only thing Baz meant by this was that Brain "is good".

exactly my sentiments

[AxlRose4eva1]

Both are better than Stephen Adler and thats all that matters.

Still I think Axl should have tried to get Joey from Slipknot, that guy is the best rock drummer out there.  Also, it would be fun to see a guy do a drum solo at a gnr show while spinning upside down in a pentagram.

[Steel_Angel]

Brain pwns matt. thats my opinion and if you dont like it deal with it.?

[Negleyjj]

I remember when brain had trouble doing the ycbm intro.. I think it's kind of lame for baz to rip into matt, like him or not matt came in when gnr needed someone to fill a void and gave it his all.. Forum always seems to rip into people when they leave gnr.. I love sebation, walked right by me in line, said a what's up, smacked him on his back,  saw his stunning lady.. But he was not so great on my michele, he should keep quiet about matt, axl called him the best drummer on the planet so...

I think his comments about Axl and GNR on Behind the Music is what made a lot of fans turn on him

[DEAD HORSE]

Matt Sorum could play any Gn'r song that Steven Adler played, Brian can't play You Could Be Mine!    He fucked up songs so many times in 2002, that was sad, in rock in rio He Killed that song! 

[Scabbie]

Did Brain do a drum solo or any 'breaks' on the 12th

I can't believe he can't play YCBM...its not exactly difficult and Brain is a very competent player..

[leesixxrose]

I always thought sorum was shitty..... even back in 91 i didnt like him....GnR have never had a strong drummer till now....
