3/28/06 Brain is going to be touring with Guns N Roses starting
May 27th in Libson! Check out the full tour dates at this really nice GN'R site! Reports are saying the band is rehearsing in Burbank, CA.
Pick up the new Buckethead DVD "Secret Recipe" if you haven't. Brain's
on it and stuff so you know.....buy it. That's all, folks. Oh, AND check out this hilarious interview that I found (alot of digging involved) conducted by Brain for DRUM! Magazine back in the day.
-------------------------------OLD STUFF-------------------------
2/21/06 Wow....alot has gone on in the past couple days. A
few Guns N Roses songs were leaked a few days ago featuring none other than Brain behind the kit (good luck trying to
locate them as of this writing). Secondly, Guns N Roses have announced tour dates this summer! It sounds like Brain will be
with them but it's not actually official yet (there's been no lineup discussions
as of this writing.....I'll update you guys in a few days with official stuff). Anyway, look forward to these dates (and
pray Brain will be getting that bucket full of money):
-MAY 27th - Rock In Rio in Portugal
-JUNE 3/4th - Gods of Metal in Italy
-JUNE 9/10/11th - Dowbload Festival in the U.K.
-JUNE 15/16/17 - Nova Rock in Austria
More to come in the next few days. Be sure to remember to pick up BUCKETHEAD'S SECRET RECIPE
DVD featuring BRAIN coming out on March 14th!!!
-1/27/06 What's happenin? Happy new year and all that cool
stuff. Anyway, nothing much to report. I changed a couple things around (edited and added to the discography page and added
some more wicked links (M.I.R.V. and the Deli Creeps)) since there's nothing really going on at the moment, or so it seems.
Apparently some guy Axl Rose (I think he's a vocalist) was at a Korn tour launch party and said that the Chinese
Democracy album is close to being done and that people will hear new music this year. All of you probably know Brain spent
QUITE a bit of time working on that (3 years?) so that would be OUTRAGEOUS if that album was released this year. But this
is one of those things that needs to be seen to believe, so.......don't go apeshit just yet.
Anyway, I hope this new year brings some more drum clinics (lucky U.K. bastards) and
touring and all that hipness. Check out the updated discog, page and the links in the meantime. Take care and
hopefully you'll be hearing more news soon!
- 11/17 Just a couple things to report. Firstly, the Praxis
album has not been released yet but is rumored to be put out in the Spring/Summer of next year. You can check out the cover
art here.
Secondly, check out Brain's drum clinic photos in the UK here. I believe he'll be doing some in the US in the near future too.....stay tuned for that.
Lastly, check out the brand spankin' new Les Claypool DVD which features concert video from C2B3
and other projects!
That's all for now, freaks.
- The Praxis album has a release date and a name - it's going to be called "Profanation: Preparation
for a Coming Darkness" and it's going to be released on September 27th, according to Ice magazine.
Brain is going to be doing some drum clinics, and has already done three in Europe. More to come
in September.
Check out some short Q&As with Brain at the following locations:
- A brand spankin new Brain interview is up on the boards at this really hip Buckethead fan site. Sign up for a membership and check out the interview in the Buckethead-related topics page!
The new Praxis album is now due out in September. No offical release date yet though. Brain also
has a porno series coming out in 2007 entitled the Binge Brothers.....I don't know if I want to think what this is going to be
about. Also, his official site is going to be up within the next month.
Don't foget; this week is the week of the 10,000 Lakes Festival where you will get the chance
to see Buckethead and Brain perform! Hope all you lucky assholes have a great time. For tickets check out this site.
- Am I alive? Yes. Is Brain alive? Most likely. Keep checking back here for more news. Oh yeah,
if you go to Brain's site you will now notice a different picture (Bruce Lee) - is it a sign? Is it almost ready? Only time will
tell my friends.
- Check this out. Brain put out a collection of drum track "songs" for Big Fish Audio. Over 8G of drums.....good lord man. You can
also check out a couple MP3 samples of the tracks on that site.
Some conflicts have come up over some info in the short "Brain?" paragraph. I'll check more into
that and get that all straightened out.
- Brain is going to be performing with Buckethead at the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota
in late July. For more info and to purchase a ticket, check out the site: http://www.10klf.com
-The upcoming Buckethead DVD "Secret Recipe" features some apperances by Brain. He's not on it too
much but there's some cool stuff on there (a Pieces video, Brain and Bucket in an airport, some killer live Praxis footage,
a Praxis music video, etc.).
