Of course they can earn a living. Even Mark said his big objection was that they were touring as "Grand Funk Railroad" and not "formerly of Grand Funk Railroad." THAT is how they are making him tour under this incorporation thing and hey, once again, NO FARNER NO FUNK! There are a lot of groups doing this sort of thing and it IS a swindle on the public!

If you have seen what they call the band Grandfunk railroad without Mark Farner all you have seen is a GFR cover band. Brewer was a such a great friend of Mark that he even stole one of Mark's Guitars that Mark had even before the pack and was getting paid to have it displayed. Mark had to hire a lawyer to get it back and fortunately won. I refuse to listen to any of thier music without Mark.

Hey Don Brewer that's really cool man. My life is just getting started trying to get this drummer back up to my potential. I have always loved your style but have my own style as well. I'm really hoping to make your concert August in Georgia this year 2023. I work really hard on that competition but ran into a number of setbacks including what I think is a heart condition which only slows me down. I should know Tuesday and hopefully I can take another stab at this american band competition for drummer I appreciate you guys go along with that. Besides the frustrations of everything breaking LOL I really enjoyed so far. Into the sun is one of my favorites as well. My brothers and myself and my son my nephew's we all used to play GFR songs. Anyway it's been fun and she'll continue to be so

I grew up as a kid listening to "The Real" GFR on 8 track in my parents car, and was always in awe of how awesome the "original three" were as a band, and how great that music was (and still is). Especially the "Red Album". But now I sit here and wonder...how can somebody be a devil, and do the devils work, like Don did to Mark, after all they been through, and accomplished? Okay, so Terry Knight was dishonest as well, and kept you (Don)from making more than you should. So now you follow in his footsteps (Terry) and basically do the same thing to your bandmate (Mark) who also suffered the same fate, to now make him suffer it twice? How do you sleep at night? How do you live with yourself? Being senior citizen musicians, there is not much life left. Instead of taking food off Marks families table, you know, its not too late...you do not even have to admit your guilt, or apologize. Just do the right thing and make Mark and equal with the profits of the band, and do another tour, and put out another album, before its too late, and please the fans, and go to Heaven, and not Hell.

The point that I wasn't there is nonsensical. So?! The Van Halen comment was anecdotal and given as it mirrored my position. What facts do I have wrong that I need to check you inarticulate poser?! There are many bad artists-musicians, actors etc. that are still around. That is proof or popularity not talent. Oh and once more-I like Grand
Then you're a fool by your own definition MrGarageband as you make no point at all-even if you were an errand boy for Farner or whatever it was you did for them back in the garage days. Funk but only with Farner in it!
Nonsense. They got lucky with the Atlanta Pop Festival. They ALL would've been nowhere without that most likely. NRG play those songs that way because that's the way they were written. These aren't jazz tunes-what's really to improvise at this point? Did John Fogerty miss "Cosmo Clifford?!" Kenny Aronoff plays a whole lot better! Don and Mel are touring as GFR and they forced MARK FARNER to tour as "formerly of Grand Funk Railroad!" A travesty anyway you look at it!
Don Brewer is a disgraceful man as is Mel! They fff'd over their friend. It doesn't get any lower than that. At BEST they would be session players were it not for Mark! They sold out Shea with MARK FARNER songs!!!

Get a life..Brewer can play anything..Get it?ANYTHING.I have known him for years and he has NOTHING to prove to you or anyone else.Evolve to what? Self indulgence?His Father was a Jazz musician and Donny is always jamming with people when not touring.

Get a life??? nobody is disputing don is a fabulous drummer,he was and still is but why the hell would he treat Mark the way he did,then have the brass neck to sit performing MARKS material with even marks vocals as tho he wrote and owned it all??? dont know why im drawn to watch it cos it makes my blood boil.Dont give a shit what you say the beating heart of GFR was MARK FARNER! What new material has don brought to the table? where are his talents,as a song writer? Don and Mel treated Mark terribly,cut from the same cloth as knight.Wipes out what talent he has as a drummer.RUINED it all for greed. END OF!
