MillionsOfSpiders Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Another one to not watch. Only interested in the ones coming up.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) For everyone who doesn't like Melissa, consider the alternative: Pitman. If one thing was deserved in this universe, then it's that Pitman didn't get to cash in on this reunion. Justice! I don't care about Melissa either way, but since you just don't notice her in the music/mix at all, I see no reason to complain, if it makes Axl happy so be it. I only noticed her once and that was positively, her back up vocals on Catcher were really nice. 16 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Another one to not watch.

I am extremely sceptical if we get videos from any of the UYI 3 Edited January 17, 2017 by StrangerInThisTown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff and Izzy can handle the back up vocals. There is no need of a pop diva in GN'R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I think you are exactly right, these videos are to promote/justify or whatever you wanna call it these members to the fans. I'm of the opinion we will not see Axl, Slash or Duff....I may be wrong, we'll see 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zoot Posted January 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think my problem with Melissa is right in her interview. She isn't a rock fan but she is in a rock band. It just doesn't fit or make sense. She sticks out like a sore thumb. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one was an alternative then Pitman wouldn't have been there and getting paid for 16 years in the first place. Axl made up his mind and we have to respect that, it's Pitman or Melissa. And Melissa is a far a better choice. Yeah she has no place in the band according to us but that's not what matters. What matters is that Axl wants her there.

They could also take a break for a couple of days now and then post a video of the 3 TOGETHER on the day of the show, instead of spreading them out like this. How awesome would that be?

Although I do like her backup vocals on some songs, reminds me of Tracy and Roberta. Sure. I like her vocals on CD but that doesnt mean I think shes some great asset. She is nothing more than a glorified backing musician. Edited January 17, 2017 by ZoSoRose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventino Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 They did similar videos before the US tour last year and I don't remember there being Slash, Duff or Axl interviews. Unless somebody can correct me on that. I expect the same here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
