GN'R Forever Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm on the fence. He's great on some songs, but I think he completely ruined Patience. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Seemed cool when I saw him live. Seems like a cool enough guy, but I'm not really fussed whether it's him or Brain or Sorum or Adler behind the kit.And this is coming from a drummer.

The Glow Inc. Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 He seems to like GnR a lot more than Brain did...but Brain's drumming is untouchable.I think he does a good job. In 2007 I wasn't too sure, but he's been very good during this tour.Probably the most straight-forward-rock n' roll drummer GnR ever had after Steven Adler.

kyrie Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Frank's enthusiasm is great. He enjoys himself onstage and gets the crowd going.This. Seeing them with Brain, and Frank, I actually prefer Frank. Just because he seems more into it, and seems to be a genuinely nice guy. Not talking skill at all though - I'm not much of a judge.Honestly I'm one of those guys who doesn't notice the drummer much unless it's Tool, Fear Factory, or a couple other bands. As long as they don't do anything very obviously wrong, I won't catch any imperfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henfjel Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I know fuck all about drummers so I can't really comment but i'm surprised nobody's mentioned Josh Freese yet.i thought about mentioning him, but i don't know too much about his work in guns to say something about him. but his drumming on OMG is outstanding!

Casual Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I think Frank is solid, but I have to say, Brain was one of the best choices that Axl could have picked for his drummer. I think Brian was really similar to Adler's style of drumming but also with more technical aspects. But I saw them live with Frank, and it was still great. He has a lot of power behind the drums.

happyguy35 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) For me, he earned a PILE of respect when he was onstage with Tool, playing Lateralus, and keeping with Danny Carey, was a truely breathtaking moment when I saw the youtube, unfortunately I wasnt there. Doubt many could accomplish that to begin with, given Mr Carey's calibre of playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2zGA8BDauQ&feature=relatedand Brain, although great..cant really hold a CANDLE to Mr Carey.

I'm guessing that's why. At least not with GN'R I mean.Aye yeah but I thought that a lot of Brain's playing on CD was effectively Josh's beats transcribed and copied note for note.He did do Josh's stuff note for note but after that he launched straight into his own thing. Logically you would assume he went back over the Josh stuff and did his own thing. Basically, where Josh is credited on the liner notes, that's where the drums are similar but I doubt they are exact replications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and find the link.I know he said it man don't worry. It was during a video interview on his site. But he also said in a recent interview posted on here that he started doing his own shizzle staright after. No doubt there are recordings of Brain literally playing not for note so he could, as Axl said, get his "feel" on the tracks. I just don't personally think that had much impact on the final recordings, Brain had been in the band for about 9 years before the record hit shop shelves. No real way of knowing though, for all we know Josh's work could be all over the songs set for future albums.
