Both guys seem like really cool people, but I think we need to just go with Frank, and start anew, leave the Bucket/Brain era behind.

It's major retardation when you think about it.

Brain has recorded the CD songs, and rehearsed and performed live the old era songs on many occasions, so why not just have him be the drummer?

Yet on the flip side...

Frank has rehearsed all the old era songs, and performed them live on many occasions, and for the setlist to have existed, the one in 2006-07, Frank also knows MOST of CD on drums any way, and has rehearsed it for live performances. So why not just have him on drums?

This boils down to the plain fact, that both guys are cool, and they like both, and don't want to get rid of either.

But it just feeds further into the joke. Excluding Axl, Tommy, Dizzy & Chris...

DJ Ashba is going to be performing old era songs recorded by Slash and new era songs recorded by Robin

Ron is going to be performing old era songs recorded by Slash and new era songs recorded by Buckethead

Richard is going to be performing old era songs recorded by Izzy, and new era songs recorded by Paul

Brain is going to be performing new era songs, some of which recorded by Josh Freese (although Brain does have a majority writing credit)

Frank is going to be performing old era songs originally performed by Steven & Matt

Sweet living Christ how this is the joke of the century. This is a cover band of the cover band of the original cover band AFTER Slash, Duff & Matt left, which was to be a cover band of the old band.
