The problem is Axl, not the drummers he hired. Josh Freese is absolutely world class. Brain is fantastic. But then he settled for an understudy because of 'loyalty', and decided he could just edit and program drums instead of getting another professional. Hard Skool is by far the worst offender on this issue. But yea - Slash's whole band sounds great on this record and Michael Jerome is no exception.

Would say the whole band sounds on point for this slash record.

Drumming on this record is freaking brilliant. Slash seems to have an ear for them as Fitz is an ace as well. I think Axl went through a period of claiming Slash was trying to take over the band and frankly that probably wouldn't have been a bad thing. Poor drumming and horrendous production values hinder what meager output GNR produces these days, and Slash seems to be right on freaking top of them right now with whatever he's doing.

The problem is Axl listens to nobody. His demostrated it plenty of times. He thinks caram + himself is good enough for production/mixing 💩

It wasn’t the strongest reaction
