The Macaroni Incident? Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't like any of them. Drummer is the most replaceable position in any band. Unless your name is Bonham or Grohl, everyday could be your last.then why does almost every band sound like a completely different animal when they get a new drummer?i can hear the difference b/t brain and ferrer, and it's for the better. just like i could hear the difference b/t adler and sorum for the worse.I never said they didn't sound different, but drummers are historically more prone to getting the ax.

worldwideboss Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Go listen to the drum solo at Rock In Rio and then come back and tell me Frank Ferrer is better than Brian Mantia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinesedemocracy05 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well this simple. Frank owns the shit out of brain. I saw them in May (Brain) and in November (Ferrer). The drumming was more exciting to me with Ferrer. I thought Frank played better too. Im a guitarist but I know when a drummer is good and Brain was boring to me, in Guns. Plus i dont like him because of his "only for the money" comments. Frank is just an awesome cat. Hes the drummer for Guns N' Roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funeral Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 We need Brain and Bucket back. Frank and Ron are a serious downgrade. Feel free to insult me but I know I'm right.am right with you dude, right with you. Them 2 were a big loss for Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketfan27 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) to be honest, it sounds like he's screwing with the interviewer a little. repeating the same "get paid" crap. he is pretty ghetto.. watch his dvd, he's quite the dude. ive read a few other interviews with brain, and he's basically a smartass in all of them haha. he knows gnr is a big time gig, so why not have fun talking about it.

Urlacher54 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If people turned on Slash, who is everything GnR stands for, then they will turn on anyone as long as it means they are sucking up to Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If people turned on Slash, who is everything GnR stands for, then they will turn on anyone as long as it means they are sucking up to Axl.I was just going to say if people would turn against all of the rest of the old band, why wouldn't they kick interim players like BH and Brain to the curb?Ultimately, if you think AXL IS GNR(which you almost have to do if you want to treat this band as Guns) it's not going to matter to you who else fills out the lineup...

Guns N Roses Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Ron is a nice guy, but who cares...I don't want a GNR lead guitarsit to email me back his vacation photos, I want a GNR lead guitarist to do this... I did not care for that solo at all. There was no melody there was just a flurry of notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNGNR Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I hated when Bucket was in the band - just a travelling circus act is all it made GNR into. Robin's old look was idiotic as well, and his new look is much more fitting. Now, I also have to admit that it is scarey when a guy can change his look that much - obviously he is/was a little confused somewhere along the line - your average person would never guess that was the same guy. As mentioned Bucket can play well, but he is a complete moron and looks even worse. I think I could even handle the bucket on his head, but wearing a damn facemask on stage all the time - get real, the guy was out to lunch trying to create a legendary image for himself. Ya, the bucket thing is sooooo cool, gimmie a break - who can take that seriously. The only reason someone would do that kind of crap is for attention - a real musician will just play and let that do the talking. Bumblfoot - I could care less if he comes or goes, just another filler like most of the band. However, the band is more of a band then they have ever been and have gelled quite well. Bumble is really the only one who doesn't "fit" IMO. Slash is slash - I don't think for a second he is/was weird - he has always been who he is and has never changed. As for reinventing the song - I don't care for it. I like a song to be recognizable at least, not just someone again trying to make a name for themself going off on a tangent during a classic tune, which was the only reason he joined the band in the first place. He was hoping to become a household name off of GNR - damn shame it didn't work and he had to crawl back in his hole. For those outside of GNR fans that ever even heard or saw him (MTV), they would probably just say "oh ya, that freak that was in GNR for a short time". Nobody really knew or cared what he was up to before, nor do they now. GNR is in good shape these days and much more fitting to the name - as close as they can be without the original lineup in place anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuffy78 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I love Ron I think he's a great gutiarist along with Brian, being a great drummer.But Bucket and Brain we're amazing. They blew me away everytime.Brain's still in the band though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNGNR Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't see how - its not even nighttrain. On another song that he wrote himself, perhaps it would be good - but passing off a "look at me" solo in the middle of nightrain just ruins the song for me really.Speaking of "gentle giant", anybody know how tall the robot/chicken/phantom/weatherman wannabe is?

Randy Lahey Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 People who saw Bucket in 2002 know that he owns Ron. I wish that Axl would just promote Richard to lead and find a new rhythm player. Rons guitar playing, and Franks drumming, were the worst parts of the Gnr show I went to in Everett. Rons non melodic shredding was just painful to listen to. Not only is his guitar playing painful to listen to, but he has no stage presence or charisma to speak of. I've seen the guy with GnR twice and his playing just does nothing for me. Hopefully Axl uses some of the money that that we all donated on the "We Need Money To Finish Chinese Democracy" tour, to try and get Brain and Bucket back.

Pegasus Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I agree but i do appreciate ron alot more than bucket. I think we needed a fan friendly guitarist.Fuck a fan friendly guitarist. I hate everyone saying that Bumblefoot is a great, friendly guy. He has limited charisma and no image at all. Slash was a badass and everyone knows he was cool. Buckethead had a mysterious image and had better stage presence. Last thing the band should have is a nerdy fan friendly guitarist. Bucket totally owns Bumblefoot.

Randy Lahey Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) Nice Boys Don't Play Rock N Roll!!! I just don't get how people prefer a guitar player who they openly admit isn't as good as Bucket, just because he answers their e-mails? You guys are what's wrong with the music business.
