what's happened to brain?

I heard from an inside source that Brain can't be available as he is currently in the studio adding the tambourine and triangle parts to Chinese Democracy.

No, they're going to re-record the whole album and while they're at it AFD with 2 drummers playing. These last "finishing touches" should only take another 3 to 5 years and at that point no release date will be set it will just come out on a tuesday.

The only comment at this point is that there is 349 tuesdays left between now and.........

I don't understand a GN'R fan... both Brain and Frank are in the band. We don't know exactly why, but it is not because of someone's hair, botox, money, grid or similar. Who knows maybe there is understudy guitar player, bass player or even singer (Sebastian Bach  ) somewhere backstage. The Show Must Go On. With Or Without You.

Enjoy!

Newgnr.com claimed that Brain has quit GNR.

May as well just wait until we get some news, and if we don't, just forget it. I wouldn't expect a press release because another lineup change would be considered negative, and all negative press is to be ignored, hence no press release regarding the rescheduled September shows.

Really, does it make a difference if it's Frank or Brain?

We're the only ones who care, and the only ones who read these press releases.  The average fan couldn't tell (and doesn't care) who the drummer is.

So Brain is gone.  And Frank is in.  And, somehow the world moves on.

Precisely

People always miss the point as to what goes on sometimes.

highend, I'm assuming that you posted this to stimulate discussion and I'm answering in this context, so please, if you're connected in an admin capacity with Newgnr, don't take this as a personal affront.  But, if I thought Newgnr were a better source of reliable information than HTGTH then I'd be on that board and not this one.  Bottom line is that Jarmo, who I consider to be a sound chap and as good a source of official info as I'm likely to get about GNR, tells me that both Brain and Frank are in GNR.  So, until he tells me different, that is what I choose to believe and why I'm on this board and not Newgnr.

Brain new baby, Axl respectful human, Frank great drummer

Go figure

It certainly makes a difference to me who is behind the kit.  I'm a big fan of Brain's other work, and I think the guy's a powerhouse.  If both he ad Frank are currently "in" GNR, as previously stated, then I'd like to ask if any possibility exists that Brain will be on this leg of the US tour at all.

When Bucket left I kind of though if someone was going to follow, it would be Brain. Remember the comments he made a year or so ago when he was asked about still being in GNR? As long as they pay me Im still in GNR.

With that said, if he was leaving, I think he would have done it by now, not when things are finally moving along again. I believe what Merck said. He's got a young daughter. I wont rehash my earlier post on this.
