Strange Broue Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Really cool guy.Haters gonna hate.Nobody "hates" Frank in this thread, so don't twist things againPersonally he is my fav drummer since the new GNR era started. He is a steady drummer, not a technical wizard, but this music doesn't require extreme technical capabilities Saw Brain live, did not like him, Freese never played with them, but he is a lot more cool drummer than Brain, imho (regardless of how good is Brain on a studio set) Edited June 24, 2015 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for posting!Frank looks like genuinely enjoying his tenure in GNR and seems to be a very friendly person......but I hate the way he plays Mr. Brownstone and Rocket Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) A little off topic, but when it comes to playing GNR songs from AFD or illusions, Brent Fitz has also done an amazing job, he plays stuff much better than what Matt played during the illusions tour, Frank is a cool guy, I hope he gets more chance to play more songs in the bandThanks again GNRLA for posting this, If you do an interview with more "GNR" members can you ask them if they get a chance to work with Slash, will they work with him? I just want to know what will be their reply lol Edited June 24, 2015 by Slash787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 "You Could Be Mine" is the funnest drum song I get to play . Matt wrote those partsLol, Duff wrote that drum trackalso thanks for posting, good interviewAll these years I was thinking that Matt wrote that part, how do you know Duff wrote it?

James Bond Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 "You Could Be Mine" is the funnest drum song I get to play . Matt wrote those partsLol, Duff wrote that drum trackalso thanks for posting, good interview All these years I was thinking that Matt wrote that part, how do you know Duff wrote it?Matt and Duff have both mentioned it at various times over the years. My understanding of it is Duff came up with the main rhythm that plays under the whole intro and when Matt joined the band he added in the two bar double bass fills that actually opens the song before the repetitive rhythm.

GUNNER PT Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sry for the oftopic, but this doesn't deserve his own thread, I think ...Is this Frank Ferrer playing with Lana Del Rey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sry for the oftopic, but this doesn't deserve his own thread, I think ...Is this Frank Ferrer playing with Lana Del Rey? Nope.But Frank has played with Lou Reed, Puff Daddy, Draco Rosa or Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Frank is awesome, and one of the nicest guys in the music business. Very humble, very funny, and a dude who flat out lives for music.I love the guy and am glad he is in the band.I've told this story before but for those of you who missed it. An interviewer asked Frank who would most likely be the drummer on the next GnR album - Frank or his son. Frank laughed for a good 60 seconds straight.He is a quality guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Besides he texting some joke, as you guys always say he does I love this part.For them to say it so much, he must really text'em jokes all the time. Do you think they have a WhatsApp group? And Axl is that annoying uncle? hahahah I wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I don't think Axl contacts the guys in the band very often, regardless of what they say. But yeah, when he does, it must be some non-sense that generates some forced laughter. Guess I'm a hater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm impressed to see he listed Sterling Campbell and Zach Alford among his favourite drummers, not two names that get bandied about a lot on GNR forums but both tremendous players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I like Frank Ferrer's comments on Steven Adler, even when Steven called him and the rest of the members of Axl's band, hacks. It shows the man is better than that. Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I couldn't care less who the current guy is in on the drum throne, but I do think that Frank is a great drummer. I notice he gets a bit of a beat down, and some people say he plays too robotic. I disagree, I think after Steven he's the best drummer GnR have ever had, funky / groovy with all the chops to play just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dando Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The best drummer to work with guns is Josh Freese, however frank is a beast and one hell of a good drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowebar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Franks's cool and does his job very well, as far as I'm concerned. Pretty much a solid and well-rounded drummer. And he's also not a constant train-wreck happening or, about to happen. He shows up and does his job and seems to enjoy it. And why not? Who among us all here, wouldn't want to be in that band, making what has to be really good dough and seeing the world?? That's a dream come true job man...

ChineseIRS Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The only things i dont like about his drumming is the Brownstone intro and Rocket Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
