I never liked him and he came across as a very cold person, telling from my personal experience, but its cool he went there as a normal person/fan just to enjoy the show. Im sure he had a great time.

It makes me laugh really hard every time I read that. Well you hate ashba so yeah, no matter what ashba does its gonna make you groan and fair enough, but I never said he was asked to stay. I said he was never fired and I couldn't imagine axl firing the guy because axl doesn't fire band members. Of course ashba says axl wanted him to be a part of it but cmon.. It's naive to think they fired anybody from this band. People left. It's what happened, some just want to justify otherwise. They replaced Chris pitman, had they not decided on two keyboard players the other side would have an argument. Axl could have fired fortus and Frank and by a lot of people's logic slash and duff could have outvoted axl, but that didn't happen. Why...?

Pitman posted his drunk rant insulting fans and mygnr completely unprovoked and as random as it could get. Especially arguing the "cash grab forget those who have actually been in the band for 18 years".. Many around here have argued that pitman is conceided and thinks he's bigger than it is. I say he didn't get the raise he thought he was owed because of his longevity in GNR and the fact they're playing bigger venues, so he walked out. Some want to believe slash and duff beat the snot out of him because they hate pitman but it just seems more likey his ego got the best of him, which is pathetic on its own because the GNR gig would still be better than anything else.

Popular Post Nick Cobraetti Posted June 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2016 5 hours ago, KURT19 said: IZZY IS THE FUCKING MAN. OK, so let's think about a "Fighter Pilot" for a few seconds... A fighter pilot is a military guy that handles some serious shit and kicks some serious ass. He doesn't necessarily get PAID a whole lot of money for this heavy and honorable work. Once the "Fighter Pilot" leaves the military, he can get hired into the commercial world and work for a HUGE corporation and make some LARGE money. A "Fighter Pilot" has integrity and valor and honor. A "Commercial Pilot" is considered a sell-out. Do I have to spell it out any more for you all? I repeat: IZZY IS THE FUCKING MAN. Fighter pilots are actually really well-paid. Now let's think about this for a few seconds... Izzy couldn't be bothered to show up to the studio to work on 'his' own UYI songs. Izzy got a cut of EVERYTHING GnR produced for 6 years after he left the band while contributing nothing. When he was hired to fill in on tour for Gilby for a few weeks, Izzy didn't bother rehearsing or even learning his owns songs. Izzy started his own band and then stopped showing up. Izzy REJECTED the offer to guest on the tour because he wanted MORE money and status Izzy posts tweets taking passive-aggressive shots at his friends/former bandmates Conclusion: Izzy is not the man. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I just posted is possible, pitman said himself he quit. So thanks for contributing I think the facts fairly speak for themselves, and lead one to an obvious conclusion. I never claimed to know what happened with Pittman, but again, you've come up with some elaborately wacky and hackneyed theory to explain your lapse of judgement in word choice...either that or you're just a conspiracy theorist, which is cool. But those theories are usually just that...theories that often end being disproven. I've been on that side of it and have no problem admitting I'm wrong (see The Twizzy Incident). But you've came up with a rather nice way once again to try and explain your way out of a mis-statement while failing to just concede your word choice was poor and you speak in absolutes without knowing the actual facts.. So, you may be right about Pittman, as I said at the very least its wildly entertaining. Edited June 30, 2016 by tsinindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats really a shame. The fact that no one is talking must be part of a gag order. I mean...come on...gnr had so many members and no one had the interest in talking about the weird and bad shit (aka Axl's world)? Duff and Slash are staying calm for the money as well, but I also believe that they are doing the whole reunion and staying calm thing for the fans as well. One bad word out of their mouth and Axl could fire them...i think that way cause Axl mentioned slash's false stories at the China Exchange, which let me think that there are still some things between them...

charliehoodger Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 In relation to social media, Frank has been posting from Chicago on instagram with Nate Arling who is in a Chicago based band THE LAST VEGAS. Very awesome band. They opened for GNR when they played the house of Blues in Atlantic city NJ in 2012. Been following them since 2008 so it was a great concert. Just wanted to share another cool band with eveyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
