Seo Taiji and Boys
Freese played on the Infectious Grooves album "Sarsippius' Ark and on the Suicidal Tendencies album "The Art of Rebellion" in 1992. He played on the Korean group Seo Taiji and Boys' 1994 and 1995 albums "Seo Taiji and Boys III" and "Seo Taiji and Boys IV". He was a member of Guns N' Roses from 1997 to 1999, replacing Matt Sorum and signing a 2-year contract. He recorded the song "Oh My God" for the "End of Days" soundtrack and co-wrote the song "Chinese Democracy" with Axl Rose. Freese drummed on 30 tracks to potentially be included on Chinese Democracy, but his recordings were scrapped and re-recorded note-for-note by Bryan Mantia. He was credited with arrangements on four tracks on the final release of the album. He left the band in 2000 to launch A Perfect Circle with Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel.
