Słash Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This was the tweet, if anyone is wondering, So basically the Management told him Shut the hell up, you are not Guns N' Roses. Axl, Slash and Duff are Guns N' Roses. Poor guy is in the "band" since 1998 and cant even express himself about playing a showhttps://twitter.com/CPitmanofficial/status/686486371775545344If Chris is out and they'll pick someone else to replace him, I'm gonna boycott the whole "reunion" thing. Call me crazy but they simply can't ignore another guy who's there since 1998.I call you crazy! Nobody cares about Pitman, including Axl who paid him enough during all those years for towel dancing not to feel obliged to anything.For the first time I agree with you Neve.

James Bond Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Did I correctly read that someone plans to boycott the reunion if Pitman is out? I now think I've read it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If Pittman is out it'd be a surprise considering he's been there since '98 and he was just at Axl's house taking pics. Having said that! I don't think he adds anything worthwhile to GnR and I don't think he'd add anything worthwhile to the "regrouping" either.His comments definitely seem a bit pissy alright, but to be fair, the cat is out of the bag! I don't know why Axl / Management are flexing their muscles here... unless Pittman actually has no role in what's coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerOne 84 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He's either out or there is an actual lineup announcement coming that management doesn't want ruined.Axl did confirm the appearance, but other than Slash and Duff tweeting out a picture no one else has said a word about the performance or who will be there.

Silent Jay Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Maybe mgmt doesn't know the full lineup yet, and doesn't want making assumptions. Maybe Coachella is only the original lineup.But Pitman still made the teaser. Edited January 11, 2016 by Silent Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I do not think you have any need to boycott this charade seeing as the thing is guaranteed to go tits up immediately - I will be surprised if they even manage Coachella.Slash and Duff have made a colossal mistake, joining this circus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I just do not understand why Guns N' Roses are completely incapable of operating with any sense of logic or transparency. Why all the weird political games and Area 51 wall-of-secrecy? Why can't they just reunite a distinct line-up in advance of the date and do some interviews like every other band? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) So you could talk about shit till april. Simple as that, they need to keep hype at the same high level. Edited January 11, 2016 by Ralphelmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I just do not understand why Guns N' Roses are completely incapable of operating with any sense of logic or transparency. Why all the weird political games and Area 51 wall-of-secrecy? Why can't they just reunite a distinct line-up in advance of the date and do some interviews like every other band?I couldn't agree more here.At first, I understood things being so muddy because I'm sure there's a mountain of legal paperwork that came along with this whole thing. I also get wanting to create buzz and some sort of mystery, but this is just dumb. Not even Chris specifically, but the whole thing in general. It's just beyond any sort of buzz and mystery, it's just plain silly now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He's not out/fired, he's probably just under some legal obligation not to speak about anything until more information comes out. They're basically saying "Do what Richard is doing and say literally nothing about anything." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 And yet we have 10 threads on the forum instead of 1, thats the difference Because we are all confused and argumentative.Imagine if they announced a proper reunion, of Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Matt or Adler, Dizzy. Then imagine if they started talking with us. We would probably only be arguing over 'who we would prefer', Adler or Matt?'. That would be the sole argument (except one or two nugnr die hards like Graeme). The line-up would make sense. It would seem logical. We would have already forgotten about nugnr by now. So what would we be talking about instead? Well waverers like me would be a lot more supportive. We would probably be discussing the upcoming tour more, setlists, etc. We would be dissecting the interviews. There would be interviews, photo sessions.This is what happens with every other band!! When Kiss reunited they announced it at an award show, appearing in person. They then proceeded to do photo-shoots and interviews. The hype was tremendous.But Guns N' Roses have to be different and operate like the gestapo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
