He's not on leave due to his kid though - he decided to take a break until the album comes out - he got sick of playing AFD and wanted to go back playing his own stuff. When the album comes out, it will be up to Axl whether to ask him back or not. That decision may not have been made yet.
Did he tell you he's sick of playing AFD personally? Assuming, aren't we? A better conspiracy theory would be he's sick of waiting for the album to be dropped.

Play a CD of Brain drumming then play a CD of Frank playing and I guarantee u won't tell the difference.
I dare you to find a recording of Frank playing original material in which the rhythm section is anywhere near as creative as a Praxis record, or a Primus record, or any of Brain's other work. Comparing the two of them playing GNR songs is ludicrous, both Frank and Brain are more than capable of living up to Steven Adler's "high" standards.
Simple question; Given the option who would you rather record with, Brain or Frank? Saying "it doesn't matter, they're both drummers" does a disservice to both of them.

I can understand people who are nostalgic for the "original" band, but the fascination with Adler's drumming as in the post on the previous page boggles my mind. Either one of these guys can play the cowbell and count to 4 as well as he could (better if I might add my opinion). I saw the band twice last year...once with Brain and once with Frank and the positives about both are that they play great and fit in well with the other members. This is all speculation until Axl or Brain says differently!

I hope to see Brain back on tour with the band at some point.
Not that Frank doesn't do the job well, he rocks too and if it is gonna be Frank from now on, thats cool with me too. I've seen the band with Brain 3 times and Frank once and both are great performers. Brain is technically superior, but Frank makes up for it with his attitude and the way he pounds those drums so fucking hard. some songs I prefer Brain (chinese democracy), some Frank (mr brownstone).

is not big deal..
he is in hiatus
he will come back.. when the record is done and ready to realase
believe me
I really dont like that. If he wants to be in GNR its my opinion he should be in the band full time.
If i was Ferrer Id feel like i got the shitty end of the stick if axl was just like, yeah, we dont need you anymore especially since he is awesome.

Ferrer got the biggest break of his career last year filling in for Brain on the drums. I highly doubt he feels short changed, and his enthusiasm on stage reflects that.

Its a bit rude for him to say he wont be back until CD is released. Like the rest of the shows aren't important, but as long as he's on the music video and in the national TV appearances he's happy. Its like getting someone else to do your job while you take the day off, and then taking credit for the massive project they complete.
I like both drummers, but I don't like how Brain is handling the situation. Stay at home with the family, fine, but why go off making numerous side projects and such? They must be involving some sort of travel as well.

I'm just glad Brain's getting to make music. ?He'a ?really talented guy, and the prospect of hearing he and Buckethead with Bootsy Collins is pretty exciting. ?
Maybe they are doing cover songs from AFD?

How can you be so certain of what in Brain's mind? assuming aren't you?
If my memory serves me correctly, Brain said he would
be coming
back.

i think it sucks that we/they put our selves in this situation where we question "who's the band member"

Its wise thinking, having 2 drummers.
If Frank gets sick, Im sure Brain would be more than happy to step in.

The live boots I have seen he didnt exactly blow me away. He is no Tommy Lee,Lars Ulrich,Dave Grohl or Steven Adler.
Are you serious?
And you want to be a professional musician?
Adding to the fact that Tommy Lee isn't really a respectable drummer at all.

he isnt?? almost EVERY single drummer for new metal bands has him in their list of top influences.
Tommy is a great drummer.
