Frank Ferrer confirmed as Gn'R drummer?

[Thorned Rose]

I didn't see this posted anywhere, and this might be old news. I just didn't know if people had discussed it. I didn't see it anywhere. So don't kill me.

It isn't "official" but it sounds like he's in.

around the 23rd minute mark they talk about it. It is from a 2nd hand source, but I would bank on this. We all thought it anyways.

Frank is a good drummer and I'm cool with him being in. Just as long as Adler gets his taste at some point and Matt too.

thanks for sharing. not sure who these folks are, but the guy seemed pretty confident. did they say something about "they're fighting already"?  meaning, axl and slash? hope its not true.

i stopped listening when they started talking about mr frampton's peter. anymore gnr stuff past that? not that i think these guys are credible, but im down to listen to basically anyone talk gnr.

Pretty cool interview..I'd shit if Axl worked out in my gym...As for Frank, nice to hear a pro give him some props....Also cool insight about how a drum rep innocently spilled the beans....

This is Steel Panther- look up their songs on YouTube, they do sort of a comedy band thing and I would take things they say with a grain of salt.

I think the comments about them fighting and stuff is just silliness. Who knows.

I do believe his Frank comments.

Frank is cool, I like him more than Sorum, but I know that probably makes Axl seem more comfortable.

I personally would rather have Adler in full time, but that isn't the best choice. I could see something stupid happening in that case.

Let Frank be the main guy and bring in Adler/Sorum in occasion. It could be fun.

Don't ya just wish they'd announce the full lineup in stone. And go with it?

Its Frank...Slash's pic from the LA studio last month caught Franks gear in the back. Its clear as Caribbean waters that Frank and Fortus are in! Why people still hope Izzy or Matt are involved its strange to me.

[Kasanova King]

I like Frank, I think he sounded great live when I saw them and represents most of the music well.  I still hope to see Adler involved in some capacity but Frank is as good as Sorum, imo.  Although Sorum would be cool to see as well for "nostalgia" purposes.

Franks the best bet right now I think.

There was a Facebook post months ago from one of Frank's other bands massively implying (as in saying all they could without actually flat out stating it) that Frank will be the drummer. Anyone that thinks otherwise at this point is being ridiculous.

Am I missing something in that picture? all you can make out is a Cymbal Stand next to drumstick holder... I hope it is Frank, but if you are a big enough fan to identify his drum set by a cymbal stand, drum stick, and barely visible stool then I bow to your fandom.

Edit: unrelated to Frank... If you go back to the comparison picture of Duff rehearsing in the same space with the last lineup, you will notice that to the left and right of Franks kit are platforms for Dizzy and Chris. In the latest slash picture there is no one on Franks right (from the front) that is where Slash's guitar is sitting on the stand.

His NY band Mule Kick threw him a going away party and mentioned a secret mission he was embarking on.

Have seen Mule Kick a few times, great bunch of guys.

In concert they are a pretty good 80's cover band goofing on the era with their look...

Slash's picture from these rehearsals and Duff's from 2014 are compared in this thread (you can see it in the 3rd post from the top of the linked page).

[TrueRock&Roll]

Didn't listen to the entire thing, but did they first say Axl cut carbs, then not cutting carbs? And Axl goes to a gym? I figure he'd have a gym in his house. And the guys fighting already? If Axl just pops into rehearsal for a sec and leaves, I doubt they're having serious fights about things. I don't really know the personalities in Steel Panther, but are they really in the know or just talking?
