Blabbermouth is not a source of reliable news. Brain himself has said he will return when the record comes out.

This has been discussed plenty of times before  :)

Hmmm, might have locked that a bit prematurely.... I'm sure Brain has stated he will return.

I'm gonna go look for a source for it, unless anyone else can post it?

Yeah but it could be pseudo metaphor bullshit like merck was spinning out about the 'muse' he could be saying he 'returns' because he has drum parts on the album. Otherwise why bother setting up projects with Buckethead again if he could simply just share touring duties with frank.

the album thing definitely makes sense. he played the european tour until his child was born and returned to play inland invasion. at that point it still looked like the record would come out in 2006 (as stated by merck or axl in the letters). before the north american tour started, it became obvious, that the record wasn`t going to come out and brain left.   so weÂll probably see him again when chinese democracy hits stores and gnr tours again.

wonder why he hasnt spoken about it if he has left or been fired
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

So he's an ex-member.

same reason bucket haven't said shit about why he left either they respect axl enough not to tell or they signed a contract about secrecy (spelling?)
just because you've got a bunch of guys agreeing doesn't mean shit.

Well what will they tell Frank if Brain returns? I do not see a big difference between them in terms of drumming ability, and since the public does not know or care who either one of them is, would it really make sense for Brain to come back?

Aw welll $11 thousand a month for those years he spent in the camp and the prospect of future royalities wasn't a bad trade of for his loyalty and time.
