Re: The drumming on "Slash"
The first stand out disappointment I heard was the drumming. Seems alot of rock artists are going that route of enjoying that "drum machine" sound these days, and not in a good prog-metal sort of way.
It just feels weak.
Listen to Sorum on YCBM. That's drumming that caves your brain in. Or the funky sleaze of Popcorn on Mr. B. These are good examples.
The best drumming I heard on CD, was Frank Ferrer (the shock). I don't get the love affair for Brain's work at all, and the weakest part of Slash's new album is also his drumming. It's becoming a bit common.
Dave Grohl's drumming on Watch This was by far the only standout.
I have to agree with literally everything you've said.
Re: The drumming on "Slash"
^ Which is maybe why the two best GNR drummers are the guys who actually really want to be in the band: Frank and Adler!! just my 2c
For the record,
Brain loved doing shows like RIR3 and got a major kick out drumming for a band of that stature. However, as time passed, his heart was no longer in it as much, particularly with his old friend Bucket leaving.
His departure in 2006 wasn't as much getting fired, rather than going on a paternal leave and realizing he didn't need to tour with GNR to maintain his financial situation. Other offers were again coming in and he managed to scrape out enough employment to drop out.
Frank was already in and the band didn't suffer in the process, which enabled Brain to step into the sidelines amicably. His number is still in Axl's registry, only he doesn't work as much with the band as he once did. The Shackler Club Mix is a good example of the things he's mainly asked for nowadays.
