How does Frank's drums 'dumb down' the track?

He gives it a harder and heavier sound.

Franks drums doesn't do much either pro or con. Maybe I'm deaf drum-wise but I hear nothing out of the ordinary.

I don't hear much of his drumming either besides in the intro. Love the intro riff and Ron's lead bits are amazing.

good call dead south....i'm not into all the bootlegs so much but that says to me that BH had little to no prep going into the 2002 tour, he was probably finding his way on what would be a cool solo for the final track

*OFF TOPIC**

Same with Rhiad too


*ON TOPIC*

Brains drum sounded waaaay to much like the drums on Smells like tool spirit...  but I remember reading somewhere that was the plan.

The drums on the chorus of Prostitute sound more like 'Teen Spirit' than what I hear on CD.

The only place where I can notice Frank and don't like it is on Better.

This song absolutely has nothing to do with Democracy in China just like the song Turning Japanese has nothing to do with having a race change.

Chinese Democracy is a metaphor and I think Neemo hit it right on the head.

The song is about Axl and the old band and all the perceived fallacies or truths.

I always thought that the song was basically Axl saying that the album would never happen, just like there will never be democracy in China.

It can be about China and it can be about GNR. It fits both ways.

Well this isn't Lars Ulrich on For Whom The Bell Tolls.

I'm not talking about originality. Hell Freese wrote the damn thing. I'm talking about Frank enhancing the song. And he did imo.

You have to talk in those terms with Chinese Democracy. Everybody and their grandmother worked on it.
