Is the new drummer any good?

[ClintroN]

Who cares? Hes only playing for like 2 weeks.

True.  But as much as I'd like to think otherwise, I don't want to make it any easier for the tour to somehow implode.  Changing the lineup and chemistry of the band onstage, even briefly, might throw a wrench in the works.  God, I hope not.  I want GnR '06 to be around for a long, long time.

Steven Adler was replaced for a lil while his hands was broke, chill the fuck out!!!

Everything shall be fine. Chill out.

And the only song I don't like Brain on is You Could Be Mine, because of the intro. Other than that. I perfer the guy to Matt Sorum.

of course is good dude

dont forget that gnr is also a big business, and they are not going to put some amateur drummer to play

How's his playing so far? I didn't find any comment on the board from who has already seen him playing with GN'R.

I would love to see Brain on the Helsinki gigs, but hope Ferrer's just fine.

As a matter of fact I'd love Brain to be more creative with the material, his playing sounds pretty basic to me and he clearly has the talent to spice things litlle bit more.

i saw him at graspop, his first show...and i have to say you hardly hear a difference. He has a lot of energy on stage and the only mistake he made was in knockin' on heavens door where he started the outro to soon after the crowd sings along...but axl immidiately said...wait wait we got one more...and in no time he made the mistake good, so the chemistry between him and the guys is already good from his first show. Don't worry, he's a good drummer. You could be mine was amazing with him !

He also seemed very very happy, amazed and a little bit shocked during the band greeting at the end of the show? ... he looked like WOW look at all those people...didn't i supposed to be in the crowd ? how did i passed the security people ?? ? ? don't worry he's good

Brain looks solid, one of those musicians that no one says n e thing about but is solid as anything

FranK played great in stockholm and oslo. He looks very happy to play with GN'R?

Bravefish-- this thread is about the temporary replacement for Brain while he's back in the U.S. get with the program! 

frank looks cool..

richard's site shows a bunch of pics of frank and the band hanging out and he looks like hes having the best time ever. richards caption was something like "frank, the happiest drummer in the world right now."

if my memory suits me right, didn't axl give frank a drum solo a few nights ago? thats pretty cool   

[estranged2006]

who know if hes good? who cares he is only playing the songs of steven and matt. MANY MANY drummer can play these songs. its not like RUSH or any other band with difficult drum parts.  Its not so hard to play those songs.  i dont know but i bet he can play them just fine! close u eyes and you will hear the same drumming parts!

[Bravefish]

Sorry EFISH bravefish was straying lol

Does anyone have any pics of the new guy??

this new band is awesome having seen them twice in NY. However.........they need to get a different drummer. I need to hear the new replacement to see if he brings anything, but. Brain is absolutely horrible. No stage presence (it doesn't help he's on the second level). but he doesn't have the swing adler had or the power sorum had. He's not a rock drummer. I"m thinking a Phil Rudd, Shannon Larkin or Sorum is what Axl needs.
