the official I love Frank Ferrer thread.

[chinesedemocracy05]

Honestly. The man is a champion. He was so great at the garden. He was so into it clapping for everyones solo. Chatting with Axl. Having fun. The guns n roses chant on his bass drum. He is so great and im so happy I got to see him. We salute you Frank Ferrer. 

[burden]

I agree.  He actually seems to want to be in the band as well.  I don't get that vibe from Brain.

I was very impressed with Frank after seeing him at the Ft. Myers Fl. show. Very enthusiatic and an excellent drummer. I never really understood the critical comments people make about Sorum, but after seeing Frank I get the "no feeling" cracks now, the man plays with feeling.

[Dr_Sweden]

I think Frank Ferrer suits better in guns than brain .... frank is more a rock n roll drummer .....
frank rocks!

Just listen to "You Could Be Mine" with Frank on the drums that says more than a 1000 words. great drummer!

[The Legend]

Frank is God!

[nesquik]

I've never seen him yet. I hope to see him soon if/when the band goes back to Europe. I think he looks like Abe Laboriel on drums. Huge punchy guy. I don't know if he is as good as Laboriel though, because this guy is a master on drums. Anyway, among all the drummers I have ever seen, my top drummer list would be this one:

1) Abe Laboriel
2) Zack from Oasis
3) Brain

I saw Matt Sorum but he didn't impress me. Maybe next time Franck will enter in my Top 3. I just need to see him play.

[XxWickeds10xX]

Yeah Frank is cool! He was on his game for MSG! He looked like he was pumped for the show!

My top three is:

1. Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam, soundgarden)
2. Frank Ferrer (I have seen him live, and it was GREAT)
3. Dave Grohl/Lars Ulrich

[AxlReznor]

Not a time to mention my top 3 are Joey Jordison, Danny Carey and the guy from Lacuna Coil, then.

But for GN'R, Frank is great.  It was a smart move choosing a guy who's already worked with both Richard and Tommy - means the rhythm section stayed tight because they didn't have to adjust to each others styles.

[jimb0]

I wouldn't mind if Frank stayed.

[pollyblue]

frank is the man for guns!

[Jim Bob]

frank does rock      haven't gotten to see him yet, everytime its been Brain.. but looking forward to it.  he does look like he wants to be in this band more than Brain and he seems to have better chemistry with Robin and Richard and the rest.

[ibelieveinaxl]

frank missed ycbm terribly...did you listen to it?

[EstrangedReality]

And when Frank leaves and is replaced by Brain again once the tour is over, everyone is going to start saying how they liked Brian better.

Pauly Shore could replace Robin Finck tomorrow and people would be saying, "Awesome! I really loved Jury Duty."

Just kidding. But what CDs has Frank worked on that I can listen to in order to form an opinion? Does he have a resume? I hadn't heard of him before.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I cant belive anyone thinks Frank is better or better suited for this band than Brain. Brain is amazing, frank is just decent.

[Dickeye]

Brain has always been my favourite drummer, imo, noone is better and he is the coolest guy...

Frank is his understudy, so what do you expect?

Frank his rocking hard and doing a great job, but he is just keeping the stool warm until our man returns.

 

[Dalshime]

For the Meadowlands show, the crowd was a little quite and Frank was really pumping everyone up. He's a fucking cool cat and I'm excited he's playing with guns.

i believe frank played (with fortus) on both love spit love cds.

[Mandy.]

Frank is indeed a great drummer. But I dunno, I still like Brain better.... When I saw GNR live, he was still on drums and I thought he nailed those songs. Completely changed my opinion on him (c'mon, he sucked badly in 2001).
