However, it was even more important that it was her first appearance with the new drummer Isaac Carpenter. At the beginning of the year, he replaced the long -time drummer Frank Ferrer for reasons that were never published publicly. “The overwhelming love that was shown to me in the last 24 hours by the incredible fans of Guns N ‘Roses and my colleagues was incredible,” wrote Ferrer to the fans in March. “I will always be infinitely grateful to Axl and the band, but at the same time I am disappointed that this chapter ended.”
First concert with Isaac Carpenter at the drums
The 45-year-old Carpenter played in the high school in a Guns n ‘Roses cover band called .22S and tulips. In 2009 he joined McKagan’s side project Loaded, making him realizing his high school dream after Guns had separated from Ferrer. This is the first change in the occupation of the Guns N ‘Roses touring band since the beginning of the Reunion in 2016. Carpenter is according to Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, John Freese, Bryan “Brain” Mantia and Ferrer the sixth drummer of the band.
