BRAIN is at VEGOOSE w/ Praxis

[oneway23]

Watching now, thought you guys would wanna know

At first glance, didn't look like him, but if he has a full beard n mustache now....It's looking a lot like a guy that's in GNR...Plays similar too.

what?

I just watched Brain play a set at the VEGOOSE festival, taking place in Las Vegas today and tomorrow, with Buckethead, Bill Laswell, and Bernie Worrell; otherwise known as Praxis.  Initially I did not think it was him, but upon closer inspection, it sure looked and sounded a HELL of a lot like our favorite estranged mate.

honestly, i didn't want to believe it either, but it sure looked like brain to me.  maybe it's a one-shot deal since they're in vegas, which is i guess close to brain in CA?

Interesting...

Maybe the idea was for Brain to train Frank this summer, to take over in the Fall.

I like 'em both. The shows I was at, Frank was very good.

[sic.]

Damn. The webcast from Vegoose with Praxis lasted only for 15 minutes.

They were featured for a far too brief moment.

i'm watching inland invasion now...i'm not sure anymore if it really was brain.  either way, i don't know how cool axl would be with brain leaving a portion of the gnr tour but showing up to play w/ bucket.

[oneway23]

Who knows?  It was on for a total of 15 mins....If it wasn't him, they sure as hell got what I'd consider a dead ringer, didn't they...

[HamsterDemocracy]

Ain't that a kick in the teeth.

Inland Invasion?

From Sauls board:

Show was fucking great. They only played about 45 minutes though...not nearly enough. The line-up was: Brain, Bucket, Bernie and Bill Laswell. That's a whole bunch of talent for one stage!!!

Brain's a grown man.

If he did a one-off gig with friends, its nothing. If Axl would've had an issue re: Brain playing with Bucket in general, he would'nt have allowed him to tour with C2B3.

If he's touring with Praxis more frequently, that's a different story. However, I doubt he'd do it without even mentioning it to Axl.

So he took time off for his family but could play this gig? What a dick

Eh, pretty close to Cali...closer than Fla or Puerto Rico, right?  Can't say I'm not a bit peeved.  Not like Praxis is a consistent touring unit...They play exactly that: one off gigs.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Brain could spend time with his family and do the gnr gigs. i am sure Axl could lend him a copter to go to and from every show, hell axl does that.

[killingvector]

One show is not a big deal.

Brain isn't expected to decompose in his house after all.

[Minneapolisnewsman]

While I like both drummers, Frank really plays the rock stuff with abandon.  He pounds the drums, and has a powerful live sound a la Bonham.

Damn right, Dave.

Instead of taking a short trip to Vegas and back, he should stay home 24/7 now. The whole thing probably took him 2-3 days, it's a bit different from touring across the States with GNR for the rest of the year.

[younggunner]

why is this a big deal? I think Brain lives in Cali. And last I checked Vegas isnt far from Cali. Is Brain supposed to stay lokced up with his kid? I dont want Brain gone at all but I respect the fact he wants to spend some time with his new family....If he continues to play with Praxis or any other band for a sustained period than Id raise my eyebrow...This is nothin...just relax

yeah, it really isn't like he is going on a huge world tour or something.  the timing was just weird...he's no longer listed as in the band on the myspace page, then he shows up on stage with buckethead.  it's probably not really indicative of any trouble with him and the rest of gnr though...
