I happen to love Franks drumming but that doesn't make anyone else who doesn't like him any less of a fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you know exactly what I meant by early era GNR. Nowhere in my post do I try to put the entire band in the same boat as frank ferrer. I will say Steven is just a bad drummer, which in and of itself was charming on AFD but live the guy had problems, way worse than Frank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'd say it's safe to assume that if Frank stepped aside they would call sorum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to have been alive during the era, plenty of recorded sources to verify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud10 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I really don't mind Frank's playing but those selected answer from the original post are hilarious, just because he focused on the only things people are complaining about.

Agreed (not that I question whether people are fans or not though). I have no problem with criticism, but some people can't help but bask in a wave of constant and excessive negativity. Life must be tough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanity_lost Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I like Frank and I am glad he is GnR's drummer. I am sorry for those of you who don't. I imagine the future of Guns N' Roses will be unpleasant for you. Good luck with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have prefered Matt and then steven as a back up... I kind of treat Frank the same as Melissa... i ignore her. My attention is divided to Axl, Slash and Duff.. Even though frank is there doesnt make it unpleasant.. its just Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 52 minutes ago, Silent Jay said: You're like any other member than just join the forum since the reunion and the ac/dc thing. Simply boring. You can have you own opinion if you want. You seem retarded, you're just a liar. here is the real quote: “I really try to keep the spirit of the way the song was played," Frank explains. "When we play the Appetite… stuff I try to have the push and pulls. Steven’s punk rock bits are great. “Adler’s playing was one of the greatest rock drumming performances in the history of music. You can put it in the top ten. His playing on Appetite… is perfect. Then with Sorum it’s a little more tight and more reserved kind of playing. I do try to keep that spirit, though.” “I have tremendous respect for the drummers in Guns N’ Roses. I love Brain so much. What Brain told me was to try and make the songs my own. I never forget that. Obviously my own personality comes through, especially on some of the funkier stuff. I might give a more New York hip hop kind of feel to it.” Less of the personal insults please. You can get your point across without attacking other members. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naupis Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 5 hours ago, maynard said: Slash's drummer is much better than Frank By orders of magnitude. Frank isn't fit to carry Fitz's jock when it comes to playing GNR songs and having them sound the way people expect them too. Hell, I would argue Fortus could learn from Frank about staying the hell out of Slash's way and just being the rhythm guy in the background. Sad as it is to say musically at this point Slash's band plays the GNR songs better than the reformulated GNR does. We'd have a better sounding show with Axl fronting Slash's band (Duff could take over for Todd) than we get from the current GNR line-up. Axl's continuing desperation to create the appearance he didn't waste the past 20 years of his career by shoving CD era guys and material down our throats even now with Slash back in the band is almost kind of sad. Everyone sees it for what it is at this point, but he will continue to overcompensate with his all things CD era emphasis when frankly no one outside of himself, Frank, Richard or the Lebeis family gives even one fuck about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
