Brain joins forces with music software producer

[blaqktiger]

They all were successfull before they joined GN'R
- Tommy sold million albums with The replacement
- Richard Fortus was (and still is) one of the most demanded session guitar player in the world
- Brain was doing fine with Primus

Don't forget Brain play a lot with Buckethead for years too.

What I want to know is, and this is a little off topic, but would Brain, Richard, and Tommy be successful and have other projects and options if they werent in Guns N' Roses?

No fucking way, you think anyone cares about fortus or brain...?? The reason they stick around is because they known where the easy fame comes.. Playing under the gnr name will give these people instant fame.. You think they;'d be playing sold out shows across the lands as fortus and brain,.. Same way dave kushner for vr would be doing great outside vr

Richard Fortus was (and still is) one of the most demanded session guitar player in the world

yeah he's the most demaned, talk to 1000 people see who knows who he is

Anyone who joins axl is some world wide great guitar hero... Nena

A good name comes with time... I'm sure more people know about both of them than one would suspect.  Kushner is just a homo though, nobody would know him if it wasn't for VR.  Noone knows who he is now that he's in VR anyway, so it doesnt matter too much...

You don't think that they could have grabbed "easy fame" by touring with any of the pop acts that they've done session work for? Who gets more mainstream coverage, axl or christina?

And, well, I don't know if you've noticed (maybe you were too busy watching baywatch or debating the merits of david hasselhoff's music career) but everyone in the current GNR line-up has already had a successful career, either with other bands or behind the scenes. None of these guys came running to axl begging for work.

how can you say no fukin way mike. Aside from really Tommy and maybe Brain all of the members careers were based on side projects. GNR hasnt changed that. It was liek that prior to GNR.

Would we know about some of the members if they werent in GNr? Most of them we wouldnt. But thats a lot different than saying they wouldnt have side projects if they werent in gnr.

Guess the american charts are the whole world of music to mike. Some people never know there're oceans.
