These will be their first concerts with the new drummer in those countries. Since the classic Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler was fired in 1990, the group had many other drummers like Matt Sorum (1990 to 1997), Josh Freese (1997 to 2000), Bryan Mantia (2000 to 2006) and Frank Ferrer (2006 – 2025).
Born in Tri-Cities, Washington back in 1979, Carpenter started his musical career in 1995. His first band was Loudermilk, which was initially formed as a Guns N’ Roses cover band, with the name .22s and Tulips. But then the group started to write their own songs and had the chance to release three studio albums from 1998 to 2006.
During his career, Carpenter also recorded with other less known groups and artists like Gosling (Previously known as Loudermilk), The Exies, Marion Raven, Black Lab, Tyga, Evan Taubenfeld, Reve Theory and for the past 11 years he was a member of the group Awolnation.
But another Guns N’ Roses connection that Carpenter has is that he was also a member of Duff McKagan’s band Loaded from 2009 to 2011. He played the drums on the band’s 2011 album “The Taking”, which is their most recent one.
