bass71player Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i'm kinda curious to know if the primus tour has anything to do with this, it's at the exact same time and brain's been playing with primus a hell of a lot longer than GNR.no, they already have a drummer secured.ah alright... do you know who, offhand?Tim Alexanderoh shit, i didn't know herb was playing with them! i might have to find some tickets for that...

-Sephiroth- Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 It amazes me how few people really understand just how badass a drummer Brain is. I mean, he is seriously one of the best and most versatile drummers to come on the scene in the last 20 years. I've been watching his instructional videos and shit for years, he can do some killer stuff. Brain is to drums as Buckethead is to guitar. Seriously.Yep. He doesn't get to show it in GNR though. Did Axl say on the concert that brain is sick? What excactly did he say?Some people say he's sick, some say he has to spend time with his child...

moreblack Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Do you suppose they'd carry on with the show if either Finck, Fortus or Bumble got sick?I mean, they'd still have 2 guitars and I'm pretty sure they could cover for each other...

I would think Robin & Richard should have managed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobadog Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 .as long as they have a drummer on the night that's all that really counts. Didn't Adler once break his hand and a drummer stepped in and filled his position at zero notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknophyle83 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 If any of the guitarists have an understudy that could step in, I'm sure they would in the event one of them were unable to show up. Metallica did it in the 90's when Hetfield injured his hand, his guitar tech took over his duties while Hetfield just did vocals.Subs have happened throughout history...why is this such a huge deal now?

jjackette13 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My boy just sent me this."Brain Dead" Axl at it againAs some of you know, Frank Ferrer is currently drumming for the band on tour. The official word is that Brain is unavailable at this time because "he is still a new father". However, 2 days before the tour start, an email with the message "Brain has quit for unknown reasons" has reached me. Take it for what it's worth. no clue where its from ..
