Frank and BBF

[W 23 AXL II]

Seriously...Axl has waited forever for this album to be right....working with robin and tommy for a long time, those songs mean something.....years together forms a bond that you use on the songs....

how the hell do Frank and BBF just glide in and record final versions of these songs?? im not complaining or agreeing with it, just throwing it out there. songs should evolve and grow within the band over time...esp for THIS album. these guys got a free pass, walk in, go on tour, record on CD all within one year.....doesnt make sense to me.

[Randy Jesus]

Well they came in and added new elements to them which improved the song. You have to remember that BH and the others were not the only ones that worked on this album, it has been a lot of different people through out the years. So were can anyone complain about frank and ron? 

[W 23 AXL II]

right, but to all of a sudden record and then mix the final versions....to me, doesn't make sense, doesn't have that "band" feel to it. what if BBF leaves, next guitarist will lay down their solo, then the album will be mixed for release again? the band members should have STAKE in this album....these guys, who are great, are too new. they just got here. Brain should be on drums anyway!!!!!! and just have Robin and Fortus, with just a few BBF additions, but nothing major.....release the songs that were written and worked on for YEARS, not for 12 months.

Yes, please keep asking the band to NOT release the record.


I'm sure everyone on the board will be behind you.

not asking to take more time, im saying the approach should have been: use brain, use robin, use fortus, use tommy, dizzy...the guys who have been here for awhile, THEY are GnR now. Frank and BBF are too new....they just arrived....for an album that has taken over a decade, it shouldnt take less than 12 mos. for guys to record "their" parts.....use the Core of this band: Axl, tommy, robin, fortus, dizzy and brain.

[Bodhi]

BBF has been in the band for a long enough time where if GNR were a normal band he would have written, recorded and then had his stuff mixed on the new record.....he has been in the band for almost a year...i dont call that gliding in....

[burden]

Why do people think it makes any sense that Brain would give up the most lucrative part of the tour to just hang out with a new born baby. ?Women haev babies all the time and husbands don't take off 6 months to stay at home. ?I think its pretty obvious that Brain has been replaced. ?My gut is that Brain was a little too "cool" for GnR and never gave it his full heart and soul. ?I highly doubt Brain resurfaces with GnR. ?

i couldnt agree anymore...

[gangs_n_robbers]

i agree. even tho i like frank and ron, they couldent/shouldent have added that much.

[Loaded NightraiN]

BBF is  in the band now, he seems like a great fit... So why should he not be on the album when it comes out??

BH left... Need I say more why he should be removed??

Frank, if he's in the band.. great let him be on... If he's only temp let him only play live...

Brain.. Is this fuckin guy in or out?!?! I love him to death, but come on man the kid will survive!

[gandra]

Well,Ron have some ideas for some songs,and Axl liked them,so he ised Ron ideas

It's very simple

[Hoggsg2]

We dont really know what has gone on with this album or band really, or what will be on CD and who.
I mean recently BBF said he was contacted during 2004 (cant remember exact qoute but it was in a recent interview) and we dont know how long Frank has been around. Also didnt Axl say their will only be minor additions!
so i say they deserve to be on the album, but at the same time, not as much as everyone else. BH probably deserves to be on their too but this subject could possibly be one of the problems (legal, or otherwise) that have delayed this album. after album release it would be really good to hear from axl exactly what went on, would be a good, interesting but probably long read, but i doubt we will get it.

[doooodickiebr]

i agree. even tho i like frank and ron, they couldent/shouldent have added that much.

[CheapJon]

Seal,Axls jump behind your nick,from which show is it?

[jarmo]

Bumblefoot and Frank are both part of the GN'R family so why not?


Maybe it'll shut some people up when they see that all the band members appear on the album.....

bumblefoot is a very talented guitarist and writer, and frank has a beard, so why shouldn't they be on the album?

[YouKnowYoureRight]

the frank has a beard bit lol                     

[jimb0]

Franks Beard got him a golden pass from Axl.  Axl said, "hey man, cool beard, lay down some beats."
