Where is gnr now

But what he does have are stripes. Ferrer is by all accounts a super-nice guy. See you there! Time will tell. Stradlin also was part of Velvet Revolver early on, contributing to some songwriting.

He declined to participate in the full-on version of the band, but he did eventually join them for some festival appearances as a guest. Stradlin recently joined Twitter and confirmed to Rolling Stone that, as of right now, he will not be appearing at the upcoming GN'R shows.

Slash was not thrilled with Axl Rose's insistence on bringing Tobias on board and his views about the new man's abilities were, to put it diplomatically, less than enthusiastic. This controversy played a part in Slash's departure from GN'R in As Blabbermouth notes, "Huge" and Rose were childhood friends, which may have been a factor in the singer's insistence to bring him in despite Slash's protests.

Unfortunately for Tobias, even old friendship couldn't make him a permanent fixture in the band, and in he was replaced by current GN'R member Richard Fortus. After Tobias' departure, mentions of him have been few and far between. He was part of a peculiar "recording" lineup that included Axl Rose, Paul Huge, Dizzy Reed, Josh Freese, and Tommy Stinson, and though his time with the group was comparatively brief, a spokesperson of their label said that he recorded "several albums' worth of material" with them.

Indeed, Ultimate Guitar tells us he was one of the "main contributors" on 's Chinese Democracy. As NME tells us, Finck later rejoined the band, only to leave again in His departure came as something of a shock to Guns N' Roses, though Guitar FX Depot notes that he had a pretty decent reason to leave Rose's troops behind. See, Finck happens to be a long-serving guitarist for a little band called Nine Inch Nails, who were about to commence on a tour.

As of September , he's still holding the six-string fort for Trent Reznor. For some people, playing with Guns N' Roses is the highlight of their life. For Josh Freese, it was a Tuesday. As the Drummers' Journal tells us, Freese is a noted session drummer who had a two-year contract with GN'R from to , but chose not to renew it because the band was pretty much buried in the studio abyss at the time.

Instead of devoting his professional career to Axl Rose, Freese chose to work with As Modern Drummer notes, he has several world tours with Sting under his belt, and keeps up with his punk side as a member of The Vandals.

Oh and just in case the hat didn't tip you off, he's also a longtime member of Devo. Axl who? As Blabbermouth reports, Tommy Stinson held the bass player position in Guns N' Roses from to , when he semi-accidentally quit the band due to his failing marriage and hectic home life forcing him to withdraw from touring.

However, he says that he doesn't particularly miss his time with the band. Though he was just fine with the people involved, he says that he's happy to have moved on. To be fair, Stinson has had his fair share of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, even without the whole GN'R gig.

He is arguably better known for his lengthy tenure with alt-rock icons The Replacements, where Rolling Stone tells us he played from the ripe old age of Since moving on from that group as well, he has resurrected his old band, Bash and Pop. As Loudwire tells us, Chris Pitman joined Guns N' Roses as a backing vocalist, second keyboardist, and second bass player in However, he fell out with the band read: Axl Rose over money.

They eventually reached a settlement in , though TMZ reports that the money Pitman actually received was significantly less than what he was seeking. Though Pitman was supposedly set to rejoin the band on its tour featuring classic era members Duff McKagan and Slash, his place was ultimately taken by current member Melissa Reese.

This may or may not have something to do with the various acidic and extremely public remarks about said tour as "a money grab" and "an oldies reunion.

Buckethead, the prolific guitarist who famously wears a mask and a KFC bucket hat onstage, spent four years as a Guns N' Roses member, but Rolling Stone tells us he left to do his own thing in Blabbermouth says this may have had something to do with his frustration with the band's "inability to complete an album.

In , the man, whose real name is Brian Carroll, gave a surprisingly honest out-of-character interview for the Coming Alive podcast via Spin. He revealed that he had gone through a roller coaster of difficulties, involving the death of his parents, a nasty back injury, and a condition that caused his heart to beat out of rhythm. Fortunately, Rolling Stone reveals that judging by his recent musical output, Buckethead seems to be more or less back on track, seeing as he's been collaborating with his musical hero, the legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins.

In October , they released a manic funk-metal cover of "Monster Mash," of all things. Drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia is one of those guys who have played with pretty much everyone. However, his accolades also include a six-year stint with Guns N' Roses: According to Blabbermouth , Axl Rose invited the drummer in the band in , and he performed with them until Though Mantia is well-known for his tenure with GN'R, it by no means characterized him.

A drummer's drummer and "one of the premiere drummers in contemporary music," he is an advanced music and music theory enthusiast who has released instructional DVDs and written columns for Drum! Oh, and you've almost certainly heard his work, even if you've never knowingly listened any artist he's played with. He's a member of Brain and Melissa , a musical duo responsible for a wide array of music from all walks of culture. It's "Brain" Mantia's world of sound, the rest of us are just living in it.

As Blabbermouth tells us, guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal first joined Guns N' Roses in , and though he says he doesn't want to dwell on the negative sides of the job, he found it difficult to fit in the group and even had to "get a little violent" to gain respect at first. He remained with the band until , and though Louder notes that his departure was never officially announced, he says that the decision to leave was an extremely difficult one and at least partially fueled by the knowledge that some of the best-known band members were planning a reunion.

After leaving the GN'R ship behind, Thal's official website reveals that he has focused on solo work, running music camps, and playing in a supergroup called Sons of Apollo. Interestingly, he also has a line of award-winning hot sauces. He said that he wants to spend more time with his family and his other musical ventures, though, as Loudwire tells us, it may be worth noting that Slash's return to the band was announced that very same year.

After he left the GN'R solo guitar spot open for the more famous hat-wearing shredder's grand comeback, Ashba has remained quite busy. Apart from the occasional TV appearance and his upcoming band Pyromantic, he owns a company called Ashba Media, which "specializes in the build of thematic designs and scenic fabrications for the entertainment , hotel, and hospitality industries and a wide range of other commercial clients.
