rendestroi95 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I mean, frank gets a lot of hate and is well known that his kit sounds awful, steve apparently can't be there full time and matt is butthurt. In a (really) hypothetical situation, axl decides freese should come back, would you guys approve that? IMHO, he's a beast, best drummer the band has ever had (HUGE shame we've never got to see him perform), and would be awesome to have him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakDown2014 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 With Melissa on board, Brain is a lot more likely to return than Freese. Still, Frank isn't going anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tsinindy Posted January 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2017 Here's my thoughts on this....Frank isn't a bad drummer. He's actually pretty solid. John, Brain (even Sorum) are both great drummers. But, as long as Steven is alive and seems capable of performing, then he should be the drunmer for this band. His sound, his groove are desperately missing. No one can ever replicate that. So, in those terms, I don't give a shit who is Guns drummer if it isn't Steven. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 He was there at coachella, they should have invited him to at least play CD, he wrote the riff, he has more contributions to CD than Frank and Fortus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Freese - Steven the same way i see Bucket - Slash. Both steven and slash are the perfect fit, but bucket and freese are more skillful, and if you can't have the "original", you better have bucket and freese...

AxlRoseCDII Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My ideal set up would be either Brain or Freeze on CD songs, covers and UYI songs and Adler on AFD songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Frank is the drummer and it's gonna stay that way I think. 10 years in the band, he's probably not going anywhere. I like his Chinese work, not so much live. I feel like he's a better fit for Gn'R compared to Josh, even if Josh fuckin' destroys him on a technical level. Slash did an album with Josh, I didn't feel the chemistry there. Slash, Duff, Frank, and Fortus have the potential to sound great together in the studio. Sometimes Frank fucks shit up live so bad and sometimes he sounds really good. I'm still not a fan. I prefer Adler or Brain but that's not likely to happen.

Nightrain92 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No! the only I want is Steven at least on every AFD song cause frank sucks on them but I think we will get only guest spots like 2016 Even if i really hope to be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Josh played in both Slash's and Axl's solo albums so that would kinda nice. He's my 2nd favorite NIN drummer after Jerome Dillon. A guest spot is probably all we're gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderlineCrazy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'd be fine with it as long as it was shared duties with Steven and Steven was fine with it. Josh is a million times better than Frank. Honestly, I think every drummer Slash and Axl played with (Matt Sorum, Brain, Brent Fitz, BRIAN TICHY!) are better than Frank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I like Josh, I'd take him over Frank. But if they are going to bring someone back from the CD era I'd rather have Brain. Adler would be the obvious first choice but that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KURT19 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Fuck no. Steven or nothing. Seriously, nothing...as in a machine painted to look like a cow. Edited January 23, 2017 by KURT19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Josh is a great drummer, so if Frank got kicked out for whatever reason, I'd be happy to see him taking over. BUT I think he's not really interested in touring as much as GNR like to. Also, the big problem there is that things seem to be going well with the current drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
