Mantia with Serj Tankian.

[el_loko]

"He played most of the instruments himself but did get help from SOAD drummer John Dolmayan and former Primus skin-pounder Bryan "Brain" Mantia, along with Dan Monti on guitar and bass, opera singer Ani Maldjian and some string players."

He can't play shows with GNR,but he can play with Praxis and other musicians like Serj etc.
The GNR camp like to be on a pathetic situation making lies,both Frank and Brain are on GNR family my arses.
Ridiculous..

I think its pretty clear that this is a warmup show for Brain.  He got the memo that Chinese Democracy has started and hes getting ready.  Axl had backups in place, according to the plan he made in 1986, for every position except Tommy.  Brain is here now just in case Frank gets hurt in a car accident, which, since hes doing warm up shows, will innevitably happen.  What people dont remember is that Axl consults with mystics, and he knows things before theyll happen.  Unfortunately Axl has been so busy mixing that he didnt foresee Westerberg pushing Tommy down a flight of steps.  Still, this is only a minor delay in Axl's master plan.  Trust in Axl, hes never let anyone down, ever.

[Christian]

do one show or two.. or three.. very very different from doing a World Tour, travelling one night and playin' on another.

[ibelieveinaxl]

yup...he's freakishly great................

[Jim Bob]

last word from the band is that Brain is still in.  So until they say otherwise or Brain says otherwise, you guys are just making assumptions.   

[AdZ]

What's your point?  Didn't Ron just produce the Q-Ball cd, and didn't Frank and Bumblefoot do stuff with Frank's other band?

[russtcb]

Hehehe

He can't play shows with GNR,but he can play with Praxis and other musicians like Serj etc.
The GNR camp like to be on a pathetic situation making lies,both Frank and Brain are on GNR family my arses.
Ridiculous..

I wouldn't place so much blame on GNR. We don't even know the whole story w/ Brain yet.

What lies?

lies are made by the outsiders that talk shit about the band. yes they are ridiculous and pathetic.

[estebanf]

If Im not wrong, Serj Tankian also collaborated with Buckethead in one of his recent albums. I like him, and I also like SOAD

[PJ]

dan monti was/is a CD enginneer and also he tours with BH..

[Communist China]

I thought that we weren't allowed to talk about ex-members in this section.
