gnr5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 This pretty much confirms Frank is the drummer. The drumstick holder has the "Vater Percussion" logo. Frank is sponsored by them, and is the only GNR related drummer to use their sticks.Brent Fitz uses Vater.I was going to post this last night. I'm a drummer (you probably are one too) and we know drummers are picky as hell. That drumstick holder is used by Frank and Matt, however you are right is a Vater Percussion. So, this is 99% sure that Frank is playing drums. Matt uses a drumstick holder as well, however, I don't think he's sponsored by Vater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercourse Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 When is that Axl pic from? He has no beard. Haven't seen that in years!he looks shockingly out of shape.looks like nothing is important enough to keep him out of the cookie jar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Axl will be fine, i think he has stopped by rehearsals and is likely getting the motivation from knowing this thing is only 13 weeks away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jesus Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Axl will be fine, i think he has stopped by rehearsals and is likely getting the motivation from knowing this thing is only 13 weeks awayI thought that out of shape picture was posted in December of 2014. I could be wrong. If he is in that condition, he is still in better shape than Vince Neil. However wait loss can be done pretty fast. I lost 50 lbs in a month at one time.

Even as an enthusiast I still have my preference for drum stick, funnily enough I like Vater too, 5a's can't beat 'em.Even without this pic I'm 99% sure Frank is banging the bongo's.

I lost 50 lbs in a month at one time.It's not good to lose weight so fast, especially when you're older. He doesn't have to lose much imo, it's the bloat. Which is not the same as fat. He looks like he suffers from serve water retention. Maybe he's been hitting the booze for too long, or he's on meds, I dunno it could be both. But he should sort it out, because that's not just an appearance thing, but a sign of health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Anyone recall a few years ago when a lucky U2 fan heard Bono blasting the then in-progress album through the open windows of his Paris home, and he sat outside and recorded for around 45 minutes?

I am not saying that he is, but I have suffered from a medical condition which my body stored everything and I was eating like an average 180 lb guy. Once everything got under control the weight fell off. Now I refrain from the use of alcohol, simple sugars, and high fructose corn syrup completely, and mostly eat natural. I don't know what it going on, but I hope that he is alright and getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah I would speculate meds. It's the same bloating I saw in my uncle when he was ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah I would speculate meds. It's the same bloating I saw in my uncle when he was ill.Also the same as you see with people overusing alcohol. The meds that do that are steroids and it wouldn't be good, you don't use steroids for minor things. Anyway it's pure speculation. Could be just simply a litttle too much drink plus getting old... And probably that's what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ags_rule Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's interesting to see the AFD guitar there. Slash doesn't gig with it anymore although he does still record the odd thing with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
