CardinalGunner Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The Frank hate is completely baseless. Its a nostalgic thing, wanting to see Steven or Matt back there. That's all it is. Truth is, if you heard the audio of the show without any picture, you would probably have no idea who was on the drums. They are all fine drummers with a place in GnR history. Right now, Frank is in that role and he's done a more than respectable job on all the material since he came into the band in 2006. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalGunner Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The complaints about Frank just go to show that no matter what, people are going to complain. He's a great drummer and happy to see him stay in the band. Can't please everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDemocracyRose Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Always some one to blame. If not Axl so let us blame Frank. Stop it! We have only heard a few low quality clips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they aren't needed. If they were, these shows would not be selling out at these outrageous prices. I say that with much respect to everyone who has played in this band for their role in GnR history. I just think Frank does just as good of a job, if not better. They are all fine drummers. However, I do question if Steven would have it in him to handle a tour at this level. Of course, others will have different opinions, and that is fine. But acting like he is some terrible drummer who can't play the material correctly is flat out ridiculous. Just admit its all about the nostalgia of wanting Steven or Matt. One thing Frank does, is provide a neutral option to avoid having to pick between Matt or Steven. Plus he was already in the band for 10 years (longer than Matt or Steven). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klay Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Cut the crap. From the little I've seen and heard Axl was on fire and electric. He stood out from the rest of the band, seems like he was really enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
