GN'R.com says drummer is Frank

[Duffio]

Then bitch to the originator of the thread who wasn't... and if you're so capable at that, you might be more capable of searching a simple site... with 4 links... and posting each of them, and asking which one it is..? ? ? now quit adding posts to your 1,100+? post count.. make your posts count.. make them worth something instead of arguing with someone over how your low i.q. still serves you good.? ?

Duffio is being a faggot.

awww you didn't give a link...   i would hate to look for a needle in a haystack...

Source : gunsnroses.com as well.. so with that said, why DO YOU ALL READ SO GODDAMN MUCH INTO A SIMPLE STATEMENT??? I'M SURE by now they would have announced brain out of the band... ....sorry but come on now..

If the band issued a press release, the mainstream media would either go "who the fuck is that?" or ignore it.

So no, they wouldn't issue a release if one of the newer members came or went.

Sadly it's because nobody cares who's in the band anymore. the casual fan who knows, ?knows it's not Slash and co. so they don't care who it is as long as it sounds good and Axl sings. I think that sucks that people don't care who's in the band. I think it's sad that in Calgary the show is being promoted as "Guns N' Roses with Axl Rose" It makes it sound like a ?joke. Like it's not Guns N' roses but hey Axl's there. That crap needs to stop if they want to be taken seriously. Still no Bios of the band members on gunsnroses.com. It's unreal. Why not? And as for anyoen being SUTE they woudl;'ve announced Brain out of the abdniif it were true well that's really getting ahead of ourselves. Would the band announce anything at this point? ?Do we really think that if Ron left(he won't) the abnd woudl rush out and make a statement? No way. Like Dunkin Dave said most poeple whould go "who the fuck is that" and the ones who do know would be pissed at yet again at the never ending revolving door of musicians.

On a side note just so we're clear Ron really fits the band in my opinion(much more so than buckethead) and I was only using him as an example.

You would think that Guns N' Roses fans would be the last group of people to even care about any sort of line-up change, given that we have had like 15 or more different people be a full time member at some point or another.

...yet like with everything else...

Maybe it should be that way by now I think there are alot of us though who look at that as further proof that this is only an Axl project with hired Guns who basically have no input. I'd like to think it's a real band and I'd like for the band to have a constant lineup.  I don't see Axl Rose in the same vein as say a Robert Smith. Hmmm maybe I should now that everyone else is gone but in my mind Guns N' Roses is a band whether it's the new band or the original band, it's a band and the less interchanging of members the more cohesive they'll obviously be.

Bono-

Think of it as a sports franchise. The name of the team doesn't change when a player comes and goes. The fundamental activity of the sport doesn't change either, just the names and faces. Some free agents are more talented than others, some line-ups are more cohesive than others. When looked at in this light guys coming and going isn't such a bad thing as long as the owner stays the same. We only have to truly worry if Axl sells the team to new management.

Ewww the dreaded sports franchise analogy. I made refrence to it earlier tonight. Not sucha  fan of this analogy. It amkes sense but it can't only be used for this scenario then, but that's another story..... As for this situation I can't think of it that way. it's not a sports team, it's a band. You don't make trades, you don't sign free agents, you dont' send members down to lesser bands for conditioning stints.  If it is simply like a sports franchise than that in itself is further proof that its Axl(assuming he's the owner) and a bunch of hired guns who are expendable the second somone better or more "co-operative" comes along.

[the dirt]

As a sports team, Axl is an/(the) owner/player, what about that?

[Naupis]

Well, we did secure the rights to have Bumble as a touring member this year. He was a prized free-agent acquisition. ? Not to mention in the past 2 years we have seen Brain, Richard, Tommy and Dizzy go off to their triple A franchises (Soul Asylum, CCBoBB, Hookers N' Blow and touring with Nena) to keep their skills sharp in the off season. It's like we have a built in farm system. All while the owner (Axl)was out scouting for talent to fill a hole on the team caused by the release of Buckethead (Bumble).

It is a little different, but this is alot more like a franchise than you realize.

So GNR was once a dynasty, who cant go anywhere nowa days.... While the expansion Velvet Revolver has won a championship in their first season.... But now with a new roster GNR promises once again to claim the top spot....

Ok enough of that!!

That's fairly dead on.  Consider this: Bach is the second quaterback.  He filled in for our star first quarterback in the last game of the playoffs, fourth quarter, 20 fucking yards to the endzone (Wembley)


"I've come to accept this concept and I'm cool with it.  Bring on the fucking franchise.  I've got tickets to MSG and I'm looking to seeing the team play. 

[GeraldFord]

This is jumping the gun a bit, but will the follow-up to CD look like this?

Axl
Tommy
Chris
Dizzy
Robin
Ron
Richard
Frank

Ahh, I bet at least 3 of those will be gone by '09!

Yes, lets revel in how transient it is to be a member of GNR.

  Both of those posts were fucking hilarious

[Eazy E]

Management told us:

"Brain and Frank are both in Guns N' Roses"

They just had a roster spot to fill, so they signed another drummer.  Honestly,  I don't know what to think of it....  I wonder if GN'R has more replacements than Kiss now.

[Continental Drift]

HAHAHA.... some funny shit in this thread.

In all seriousness... the essential "core" of this band is: Rose, Reed, Finck, Fortus and Stinson. The Rose, Slash, Stradlin' and McKagan of yesteryear. As long as those guys are still involved... I think the band can get by with changes in the 2nd keyboardist... or 2nd guitarist... or even drummer positions.

For the meantime- I would consider Brain still in the band... especially since this would be a particularly curious time for him to walk away OR be fired. Maybe he's on "extended hiatus" to be with his kid.

No the follow up to cd will look like this:

^they will still have the two drummer thing going on

I wonder if it was a multi-year deal, or just a short one year deal with a team option for a second? ?

[Jizzo]

most likely brain is sick and his tech is filling in just like last time brain couldn't play.

i can't imagine brain rejoining the band for the 5 shows last month only to leave again
