So no Frank at all, apparently. Edited August 7, 2021 by Dean 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining tho Wonder if this has anything to do with he and Melissa still being connected 1 hour ago, Dean said: Beta also responded to me on Meegans Instagram when I asked if the guitars were slash last night (prior to the credits being revealed). She said it was. Found it odd she was stalking comments considering mine was like 15 hours old! Still cool someone responded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I would in some ways. I love Brain's work, but if the current band is to release a record, I want the current band to play on it. If they aren't going to use Frank in the studio on any upcoming release, they should stop listing him as a full member 🤷♂️ There again, if this is a one-off occurrence, I guess that wouldn't really matter. For the record, I actually really like Frank. Unpopular opinion I guess, but, yeah... Edited August 7, 2021 by DoMw94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some musicians have touring drummers and session drummers. Id be fine with Brain being the session drummer. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I LOVE the idea of Brain being the actual drummer for GNR, and Frank just the touring guy. Who even knows how GNR is organized? Brain could be the studio drummer on everything for all we know. Frank is the weak link for me, Axl Slash Duff Fortus and Brain is an insanely killer combo, would make a new album even more interesting than it already would be. Brain is the best GNR drummer next to Steven IMHO Edited August 7, 2021 by StrangerInThisTown 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAFC Nick Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 17 hours ago, Gordon Comstock said: I'm really glad they're using Brain's drum tracks, but I'm not crazy about how they made the kick drum sound... that's just a small nitpick though. Love that the credits are just "Guns N' Roses" and we got a song with Brain, Bucket, Slash and Duff... This is what makes me think it’s Frank. None of the Brain recordings have that thuddy kick drum sound! Listen to Frank’s IRS from CD (compared to Brian recording) and this sounds pretty similar.

I actually kind of would, since he's the main full time drummer. It seems they used an old drum track that Brain had recorded so that's why he's credited. But Frank isn't a bad drummer per se and it would be cool to hear what he does on some all new songs. 26 minutes ago, CAFC Nick said: This is what makes me think it’s Frank.

Listen to Frank’s IRS from CD (compared to Brian recording) and this sounds pretty similar. Its 100% Brain, possibly with some protools edits to fill out some of the fills. The "sound" of the drums would always have changed prior to release - what we've heard previously is demos only, they just use the beats Brain hit as triggers for new sounds in the studio. 46 minutes ago, StrangerInThisTown said: I LOVE the idea of Brain being the actual drummer for GNR, and Frank just the touring guy.

rumandraisin Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Why are people questioning whether it's brain, he's even credited. And if you've heard the bumblefoot mix it's the same drum track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Frank does a good job on the live version anyway, and he was pretty solid on SOYL too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have nothing against Frank's drumming, especially how he played brownstone and rocket Queen pre reunion, added a kinda funky vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beto 22 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 12 hours ago, Dean said: Case closed. It's Brain. No problem with that... Since some material of CD 2 is pretty much done for 10 + years, there's no reason to rerecord drums that was considered done in the first place with Josh in late 2000. It ain't a shot on Frank. It's just a financial decision to no spend money on renting a studio in a track that was already done for such a long time and it'll probably go nowhere after the initial buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propaganda Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 23 hours ago, Sweersa said: I believe the Village version drums are Josh, and the Bumble leak was Brain of course. (Both these versions are quite different) I hope a studio version of the one they played at the HOB show leaks with Buckethead, the vocal track at the time, etc. Yes! I would love to hear the 2001 version as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Listening to Frank play it live I can't really tell the difference, bit of a headscratcher that Frank isn't the drummer on the recording... it doesn't do gnr or Frank any favours. Just ammo for people that want Frank gone. I think Frank would do great stuff in the studio. Think he's playing really well on these recent shows too!

Blackstar Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'm very curious to see if it will be the same with Hardschool (I still refuse to use the new spelling of it, lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd123 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Without even the official confirmation, these are def 100% Brains (Although maybe note for note replication of the original Josh Freeses track if we are being picky). Just the overall tightness of how he plays - all over CD. Frank has always been 'looser'. Drums are tasty too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free to use the already recorded drum tracks from 20 years ago. Sucks for Frank tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
