Hey man, this is Brain from Guns and Roses, Primus, Tom Waits, Praxis, and you're listening to the Vinyl Guide with my man, Nate Goyer. Awesome, thanks, Brain. And by the way, everyone, there's an extended version of that bumper. I'll play for you shortly. It's fairly amusing. Hey, everyone, welcome to the vinyl guide, where we talk to the artists behind the records we love and collect.

This week is very special.

We have a double episode, an interview with Brian Brain Mantia, who sat behind the drum kit for the likes of Primus, Praxis, Limbo Maniacs, Tom Waits, Buckethead, and Guns and Roses.

In fact, Brane was the drummer for the majority of the Guns and Roses LP

Chinese Democracy, which is currently considered the most expensive album ever made.

$13 million it took by most estimates to make that record, and Brain's going to share his

experience from the band and how he helps spend a few million of that budget.

And today's episode is brought to you in part by Voyage Air Guitars.

Guitar Players, I know you're a fickle bunch, which is why I'm not here to waste your time.

Voyage Air has rethought the shape of the guitar.

It's engineered in a way where guitar players can take a quality instrument on the road.

Go to voyageair.com and see how they've designed the voyage air. The neck

snaps down for convenient travel, and when you've reached your destination, simply pull the neck

back into shape, and voila. Instantly playable guitar, tuned strings, and everything. Potential

mates will flock to your side. Check out the design of voyageairgatar.com, design for portability, and built for quality.

That's voyageairgatar.com.

The future is unfolding.

And with that, let's get into the first of our two-part series on the amazing career of Brian Brain
