What a big wastage of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 $114,999 of the original $120,000 pitman was owed was just from the 20 years he worked on silkworms. The rest was from the other songs where he added a synth here and an echo there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how the Sub Bass adds to the sound. Then again I've never listened to Chidem with a subwoofer. Edited September 20, 2016 by cooker correcting post.

DieselDaisy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 His ehh, 'work', even got a wikipedia mention, Quote Sub-bass ...

shotsfired cro Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I will never understand two things. 1). for once Pittman was fired, why was Melissa employed!?!? They have useless Dizzy sitting there for 25 years. 2). if Slash and Duff are taking care of the sound and they are not biggest Frank fans, what the hell is he still doing there!?

I got to a point at where I simply don't care amymore. Its simply too late for a reunion that we always wanted. Now even if Matt/Izzy/Gilby/Steven would come back on full term, there won't be an energetic VR Debut album anymore. Axl had his chances between 1996-2006, but now it's just a tribute band and it will end like that. Edited September 27, 2016 by maxpax 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bono Posted September 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2016 On 9/13/2016 at 2:03 PM, Juliette said: Is Pitman an Engineer? Very strange this demand. He waited 4 years to sue him? Didn´t he work with Axl until a couple of months ago? For me, he request for attention,maybe he wants to come back. Ummm... no. As much of a douche as I think Pitman is, it's damn obvious why he would sue Axl now. Before he was working with Axl and likely felt they were friends and took Axl at his word that he would be paid eventually. Now that Pitman has been punted from the band it's not a sure thing that Axl intends to pay the outstanding salary. So it makes perfect sense to sue him now and doesn't even remotely indicate a cry for a attention or a desire to return to the band. It simply says "Pay me my fucking money!!" 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tribute band with 3 out of five original member and a guy (dizzy) who has played on 4 albums (if not 5? Didnt he played on lies? Like.. Percs..?). Anyway this is far from a tribute band.

Popular Post maynard Posted September 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sub-bass means two things. Tommy is so bad at bass playing, they had to add sub-bass to make up for his mediocre work. It also means Axl completely sucks at making an album on his own. Hundreds of layers, millions invested, dozens of musicians involved and CD still sounded bland and uninteresting. It's like a monkey driving a Ferrari. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds of layers, millions invested, dozens of musicians involved and CD still sounded bland and uninteresting. It's like a monkey driving a Ferrari. Sub-bass is low bass frequencies. You can hear this most on TWAT during the chorus when there is bass frequencies that are playing what Tommy is playing during the chorus an octave lower, and on Better, where the bass frequencies collide alot because the sub-bass is just focusing on the progression when Tommy is doing transitions, so the fequencies collide. Sub-bass that plays what a bass player is playing is a poor choice. It just collides and sometimes cancels out the bass frequencies so you then have no bottom end in some places. Or it overpowers a lick with too much bass. It also makes it muddy, because the bass that would have been clear and punchy, ends up just turning muddy. Its very noticeable with a subwoofer Edited October 11, 2016 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
